The Sanctuary Thailand is a legendary detox retreat centre with over 30 years of experience in fasting cleanse detox programs. We have helped thousands of guests from all over the world realize the incredible health benefits that a detox provides to the mind, body, and spirit.
Our goal is to help our guests achieve their optimal health and well-being, whether it’s through weight management, improving gut health, insulin resistance, managing stress, fitness and toning, or embarking on a cleansing and detoxifying journey. We offer a safe and nurturing space for you to reset, recharge, and rejuvenate.
Total cleanse DETOX
We differ from most detox retreats because our approach is rooted in science, not trend. We specialise in insulin resistance, monitor vital signs daily and closely supervise every stage of the cleanse to ensure it’s safe, effective and personalised.
At The Sanctuary Thailand you receive a complete detox experience, including detox and probiotic shakes, targeted herbs, an evening vegetable or miso broth, daily colonic sessions (both cleansing and repopulating) and access to our steam room.
From the moment you arrive, our wellness team supports you with care and clarity. You’ll begin with a thoughtful pre fast interview so we understand your needs, followed by a full walkthrough of the process and a detailed support manual. Every individual is different, and we honour that by crafting a bespoke program tailored specifically to you, ensuring a truly personal and transformative experience.

EXCELLENT Based on 456 reviews Posted on Elizabeth HuegliTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been home 2 days still riding the good vibes I got from the sanctuary. The sea meets the jungle. Love being in nature hearing song birds in the morning, gentle rain at night. All the sounds of the jungle. Truly a beautiful transforming experience. I was all in from the beginning and was not disappointed. Nina and Hailey are gifted healers. All the woman at the Tea Temple are exceptional at there craft. The Thai people are the happiest of any culture I know. I will definitely return. ♥️♥️♥️Posted on Gregory AxtonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This place is truly magical. It's very calm and peaceful and provides a perfect island vibe. Its unique beauty is different from other beaches around. But be aware of insects, though. Otherwise, the service is very good and the food is amazing. Enjoy your moment!Posted on Peter KempTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Sanctuary is a special place, I only just left and I’m missing it already. It’s so calm & peaceful, nestled in its own little bay, and the staff are all friendly and welcoming. Waa is such a great yoga teacher, I enjoyed her classes so much. Nina is an amazing too, she brings joy to the yoga studio in a way no-one else does. Hope I can get back there soon.Posted on Madeleine JosephTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. There are places that mark us, and then there are places that remake us entirely. The Sanctuary is the latter—a hidden corner of Thailand that has quietly reshaped my understanding of what it means to be alive for over two decades. You don’t simply arrive at The Sanctuary; you surrender to it. The boat journey to Haad Tien Bay becomes a gentle unwinding, each wave carrying you further from who you were when you left shore. When you step onto that pristine beach, something inside you exhales—perhaps for the first time in months. I’ve watched this place evolve over twenty years, seen new faces become old friends, witnessed the careful dance between development and preservation. What strikes me most is how The Sanctuary has grown without losing its soul—like watching a beloved friend mature while keeping their essential spark intact. The accommodation defies every convention of luxury travel. Forget marble bathrooms and thread counts. Here, your shower is beneath stars, your bedroom walls are living stone that has stood for millennia. The geckos darting across your ceiling aren’t intruders—they’re housemates, reminders that you’re living within something larger than yourself. But perhaps the most transformative element isn’t the setting—it’s the people. The Sanctuary attracts souls in transition, hearts seeking something they can’t quite name. I’ve shared sunset conversations with artists rediscovering their voice, watched burned-out executives remember how to breathe, seen couples fall in love all over again. This trip, I brought my nine-year-old son Archie, and watching him embrace this magical chaos reminded me why I keep returning. Children understand what adults forget—that paradise isn’t perfection, but authentic connection. The food isn’t just nourishment; it’s daily celebration. Each beachfront meal becomes a ceremony of gratitude, flavors so vibrant they contain sunshine’s essence. Conversations flow like tides, strangers becoming confidants over shared plates. What The Sanctuary offers isn’t polished wellness—it’s something rawer, more honest. Yoga sessions happen as the sun paints impossible colors across the sky. Meditation workshops don’t promise quick fixes but something more valuable: permission to simply be. The healing programs understand that transformation isn’t about returning to who you were, but discovering who you’re meant to become. True luxury isn’t what’s done for you, but what you discover about yourself. The Sanctuary provides the canvas; you create the masterpiece. Some guests plan two-week retreats and find themselves still there three months later, having found exactly what their souls were seeking. Twenty years on, I still feel that familiar flutter as the boat rounds the bay. The Sanctuary isn’t just a destination—it’s homecoming to a version of yourself you’d forgotten existed. Where the world’s noise fades to whispers, time moves differently, and ordinary moments become extraordinary simply because you’re present enough to notice them. This isn’t for those seeking conventional luxury or party thrills. The Sanctuary is for hearts ready to be surprised, souls brave enough to remember what peace feels like. For anyone suspecting the life they’re living might not be the life they’re meant for. Some places visit you as much as you visit them. The Sanctuary has been a constant thread through two decades of my life’s tapestry, offering exactly what I needed—adventure in my twenties, healing in my thirties, perspective in my forties, and now, watching my child discover magic. It’s not just a place I return to; it’s a place that returns to me in quiet moments when the world feels too much, reminding me that paradise isn’t about perfection—it’s about coming home to yourselfPosted on Kaila KrayewskiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've been going to and from the Sanctuary for quite some time. It is truly my happy place. I often go with my writers group, we all live here on Koh Phangan, and we get away to the Sanctuary once or twice a year to spend a few days focusing on our writing, eating healthy and nourishing food, and being nourished by the nearby natural surroundings. It is the most inspirational place I've come across for writing, creativity, and focus. My trips to the sanctuary are always highlights of my year.Posted on Nicolas AxelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mon endroit préféré pour un dimanche matin inoubliable 🌈Posted on Q DosTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am back after 1 year...still magical...awesome vibe...I am doing another detox...it sets me up for the year The Sanctuary changes its guests everytime I come but each set of people are remarkably similar to the previous - amazingly friendly and interesting folks I can't imagine doing my annual recharge anywhere betterPosted on Linda ValenzianoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The detox program at The Sanctuary is life-changing. The wonderful team supports you every step of the way and you leave feeling light, clean, and completely refreshed. Furthermore, The Sanctuary resides on beautiful land that will hold and heal you during your detox. Stunning rock formations and multiple beaches to walk to. It is the perfect place to go and charge yourself with wellness, nature, and love 🤍Posted on Luisa EibauerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nachdem in der Nachbarbucht Wai Nam in den beiden Unterkünften, die es dort gibt, keine Kinder erlaubt sind, sind wir hierher umgezogen, wo das zum Glück grundsätzlich kein Problem ist. Wir waren aufgrund früherer Bewertungen, dass es schön ruhig ist, weil es dort wenig Kinder gibt, skeptisch, auf welches Klientel wir dort treffen würden. Tatsächlich wurden wir auf Nachfrage auch darauf hingewiesen, dass es im Restaurant gut wäre, eine moderate Lautstärke einzuhalten, was natürlich Druck auf Eltern ausübt. Abgesehen davon haben wir uns jedoch sehr willkommen gefühlt! Wir waren in einem der Budget Bungalows, die zwar weiter hinten, aber immer noch sehr schön und hochwertig eingerichtet sind.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

Frequently asked questions about your detox holiday retreat
What's difference between a fast, detox and cleanse?
FAST:
A fast is the most intensive of the three. It involves intentionally abstaining from food for a set period so the body can switch into repair mode, burn stored fuel and lower inflammation. Fasting gives the digestive system a full rest and is one of the fastest ways to trigger metabolic change.
DETOX:
A detox is a short term, structured program designed to actively remove toxins from the body. This often includes fasting windows, specialised shakes, probiotic and herbal support, colonics and supplements. The goal is to clear accumulated waste and reset key systems quickly and effectively.
CLEANSE:
A cleanse is a gentler, longer term approach. It focuses on supporting the body’s natural detox pathways through nutrient dense food, hydration, movement and lifestyle habits that maintain health over time.
How we do it at The Sanctuary
At The Sanctuary Thailand we weave all three methods into one holistic package. Our programs combine fasting, supervised detox protocols and cleanse focused habits to create a complete reset for metabolism, gut health, energy and overall wellbeing. This integrated approach is what makes our results fast, safe and sustainable.
What is a Colonic?
Colonics, also known as colonic irrigation, involve the gentle infusion of water or specialised liquids into the rectum to flush the colon. Many people find the process helpful for supporting digestive comfort and overall well being.
Before any session, a wellness consultant will guide you through a full consultation. This includes reviewing your medical history and completing wellness summary forms so we understand your background and any contraindications.
At The Sanctuary, colonics are only prescribed after we have confirmed the treatment is suitable and safe for you. Your health history, current condition and individual needs determine whether this therapy is recommended as part of your program.
Is Detox right for me?
In our daily lives, numerous factors can disrupt our detoxification, metabolic, and digestive systems. These factors may include stress, poor dietary and nutritional habits, lack of physical activity, environmental pollution, and personal crises. Living in a stimulating society can also have an impact. The consequences of these disturbances can be observed in your health and well-being. You may find that you cannot handle stress as effectively as before and experience anxiety and depression.
Your sleep patterns may be interrupted, and your elimination may not be as thorough, resulting in more gas, bloating, and indigestion than usual. These are early signs of reduced performance in your digestion, metabolic, and detoxification processes, leading to an accumulation of toxins and an imbalance in your gut flora. If you are experiencing these symptoms, it may be time to detoxify your body.
At The Sanctuary Thailand, a reputable detox retreat center with over 30 years of experience in fasting detox programs. We have helped thousands of guests from all over the world reset, rejuvenate, and achieve their wellness goals. We offer a full fast detox with herbal supplements, elixirs, and daily colonics. You can experience complete elimination and a feeling of wellness with our 3.5-day, 5.5-day, 7.5-day, or 10.5-day programs.
Is Accommodation included in my Detox Package?

Confused about all the Detox Packages?
Learn more in the Detox Page:
How should I prepare for my 3.5 to 10.5 day fasting?
For optimal results from the program, we suggest reducing your caffeine intake, particularly coffee and black tea, to lighter options such as green tea or herbal tea at least 3-5 days prior to your arrival. Additionally, we recommend incorporating fiber-rich foods like vegetables and fruits as your main dish. And limiting your protein intake to a small portion on the side. Furthermore, it is advisable to avoid consuming simple carbohydrates like white flour, white rice, alcohol, and dried fruits.
Do I get to eat on my detox program?
Our detox programs are designed around controlled fasting, so food intake is limited. You won’t be eating regular meals, but you will receive everything your body needs to safely support the cleanse. This includes detox and probiotic shakes, targeted herbs and an evening vegetable or miso broth.
Your suitability for fasting is always assessed first, and your wellness consultant will adjust the program if your medical history suggests you need a modified approach.
Are your colonic administered by someone else?
No. At our facility the colonic process is considered a personal practice, so all colonics are self administered. You are never handled by another person.
We provide clear, step by step instructions so you feel confident and comfortable, and a wellness consultant is always nearby if you need support.
Most guests thoroughly enjoy the experience, with many describing a strong feeling of release and cleanse, along with an appreciation for the privacy and control it offers.
