About Detox Holiday Retreat at the Sanctuary Thailand

HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR MY FAST?

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.

WHAT IS A COLONIC?

Colonic, also known as colonic irrigation, involves the infusion of water or other liquids into the rectum to flush out the colon. Advocates of the practice believe that it can improve digestive health and overall well-being. Prior to the procedure, a wellness consultant will typically conduct a consultation. Which will ask about your medical history and help complete wellness summary forms.

ARE YOUR COLONICS ADMINISTERED BY SOMEONE ELSE

At our facility, we firmly believe that the colonic process is a personal one, which is why we require our clients to self-administer their colonics. However, rest assured that we provide detailed instructions on how to do it correctly, ensuring that you feel confident and comfortable throughout the process.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A FAST, A CLEANSE AND A DETOX?

The terms “detox” and “cleanse” refer to dietary and lifestyle practices that help remove toxins or impurities from the body actively.

A detox program involves a short-term dietary plan that aims to eliminate toxins from the body, usually through fasting, juicing and supplements. The primary goal of a detox program is to rid the body of accumulated toxins and reestablish balance in the body’s systems actively.

On the other hand, a cleanse is similar to a detox but usually refers to a more long-term and sustainable approach to a healthy lifestyle. Cleanses typically involve making dietary and lifestyle changes that support the body’s natural detoxification processes. Such as eating a balanced, nutrient-dense diet, staying hydrated, and engaging in regular exercise.

I AM CONFUSED ABOUT THE DIFFERENT KINDS OF DETOXES YOU OFFER

Detox Retreat Holiday, available in various lengths ranging from 3.5 to 10.5 days. For an even more personalized experience, you can add special overlays to your program for only 700 baht per day.

If you’re looking for a more gentle approach, try our Gentle Cleanse program. It includes one meal per day and doesn’t involve colonics. As with our Detox program, you can also add overlays to tailor your experience.

Introducing our latest offer, Balance provides delicious and healthy meals from our cleanse menu that are tailored to your body’s specific nutrient needs. We offer keto, vegan, and pescetarian options, and all our meals are gluten-free, dairy-free, and free of refined sugar.

IS ACCOMMODATION INCLUDED IN MY DETOX?

We offer accommodation in all-inclusive detox packages.  See accommodation options and prices

DO YOU GET TO EAT DURING OUR DETOX PROGRAM?

Our signature Detox program does not involve eating but instead provides fiber-rich drinks, juice, herbal elixirs, and supplements. However, you can enjoy a delicious vegetable broth in the evenings as a supplement to your cleanse.

If you’re looking for a more lenient approach, our Gentle Cleanse program allows for one meal per day.

Alternatively, our “Balance” program involves eating a standard amount of food to support your body’s natural detoxification processes.

“Discover the Health Benefits of Detox: Enhance Stamina, Concentration, Body Performance, Sleep Quality, and Skin Clarity. Plan your next Detox Holiday Retreat at the Sanctuary Thailand”

This place totally lives up to its name, such a sense of peace and harmony. Quite detached from the rest of the island but with little gems (beaches, bars, boogie dens) all within walking/scrambling distance. Incredible team including Tuna and Sam who really made us feel welcome. It makes me so sad to leave, I know I will be back!
Extremely friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The staff and food are second to none. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Thailand.
This place really is a sanctuary. I felt instantly at home, the staff are So lovely, the setting is beautiful, the yoga classes are top notch, the food is delicious, the detox program comprehensive and I felt very taken care of, and the bungalows are great... this was my first, but definitely not my last time at this little slice of heaven.

So much fun even in the rain,,with many things to do,,, I'm doing a cleanse at the excellent wellness centre (lost 8kg already this is the only place to go). Peter Clifford ,,, the best & most fun yoga teacher I know,, with Ben & Johnny also great fun,,, open Mic's on Thursday,,, film nights,,, Healing centre-tea temple ,,, with great healers to help the cleanse. & the best Steam room I've ever been in,,, And of course the best restrante & most friendly staff on the island,,, ( maybe I don't think of food ). First class 5 stars +++
This resort is a great place, it offers yoga classes from great teachers, detox’s, different courses, etc. The Restaurant is very confortable and is well known for its delicious vegetarian meals, smoothies, cocktails, …The bungalows and houses are very nice too. A very nice environment with a friendly staff.The beach is quiet, not close to parties and you don’t see any sight of cars or motorcycles whatsoever. Every Thursday there is a Open Mic ! A very chilling place.
This place is heaven on earth! The staff and healers are sensational! I'll be back for a detox every year :)
We were the first detoxers in 4 months and the santuary did not fail to disappoint. A truly 5 star experience. The staff were friendly, helpful and very knowledgable. The location and facilities were stunning as usual. Thanks for all your care and attention Bow you were fantastic. Danny and Gianni.
We stayed at the sanctuary and we spent an incredible time there. The staff is the most welcoming and attentive we have ever met. Also a big thank you to Randall for an amazing yoga experience. We’re definitely coming back!!
@thesanctuarythailand is an Incredible place. A tiny piece of heaven on earth with a private beachWe have all been there. We feel tired and we feel we can just not stop thinking. When your head spins around the same thoughts causing anxiety- you just need a break and re center your focus. Sometimes we need to get away from all of it and the sanctuary is just this place. Far away from everything and only accessible by boat it’s the perfect secluded piece of heaven.If you are looking for a place with a slow pace to recollect yourself, to detox and to be stronger than you have ever been - this is your place. The surrounding just immerses within you and makes you to want to get up early to do yoga and to fuel your body with healthy ingredients.I was also very impressed how they never run out of delicious cold fresh coconut considering that they can only bring groceries by boat.They really do their best to still provide you luxury 5 start treatment while being in the middle of nowhere. Can’t wait to be back 🐒🐒❤️❤️

If you’re seeking the perfect place to either enjoy silence, yoga, detox or also this beautiful nature, I’d recommend coming to The Sanctuary. The bay where it’s settled is magical, no words can describe it. But be aware that it’s a remote place just to be reached by taxi boat or jungle taxi. Greeting to Nolan and all he Sanctuary staff
My spiritual home .. this idylic bay in KonPhangan, its community and the beauty that is the Sanctuary. A perfect place to reset, relax and of course detox if that's your thing. The sanctuary staff are something else, just the best. Treat them with love kindness and respect and you will receive it back x 1000 with a great service. Even when they are super busy they are happy to help you as much as they can.

The restaurant menu is huge and so unique with a range of many healthy and tasty dishes, juices and smoothies plus a great raw selection including raw cakes!

The detox can be an amazing way to cleanse and rid the body of toxins and feel full of energy and its not for you then you can retox with yummy cocktails at the bar. A perfect mix of yin and yang.

The Pilates, Yoga and Yin classes set in the jungle are just an unbelievably great mix of hatha, vinyasa, yin and strengthening for all levels with awesome teachers who are all really friendly. The tea temple offers you everything you need from regular sessions or even workshops in Thai bodywork massage, chi nei tsang, Accupunture and lots more with advice and help available from incredible healers.

Enjoy this beautiful place, the jungle, nature, beach, wellness and the magical vibe here.
