Retreat and Restore in Harmony with Nature
we need something here…

Discover how to reconnect with nature and yourself at The Sanctuary Thailand. Our little corner of paradise, set right on a remote and unspoilt beach with no road access, offers the perfect tranquil escape. Whether you opt to lounge on the beach taking in the rhythmic swell of the ocean waves, or recline in a hammock listening to the soft chatter of sweet birdsong,
you’ll co-exist in harmony with nature throughout your stay.
Surrounded by both our warm and nurturing staff, and like minded souls on a shared path to wellbeing, you’ll feel truly held, inspired and cared for during your stay with us. Many of our guests return year after year and build lifelong friendships that stay with them long after they’ve returned home. We know you will too.
Let´s dance to the same rhythm.
Once you are a ‘bay person’ you are part of our community for life. No matter where you are from, what you do, or who you are – we all dance to the same rhythm.
Recently our waters have been embracing more and more people through word of mouth, social media and some lovely journalistic pieces we’re rather proud of.
This is a place where staff and guests become friends and where friends reunite year after year.
Come with an open heart and mind and see the magic for yourself!
The crew, the heartbeat of The Sanctuary.
The staff here are a wonderful mix of Thai, Karen refugees from the North of Thailand and Burmese migrant workers.
Our Sanctuary Family is diverse but we all have our home in the bay in common. The Sanctuary has been a small family run business since 1991; welcoming all who make it to our remote bay with open arms.
The rocks and crystals.
Our resort is built on ancient granite quartz crystals.
The ocean tumbled granite is unique, combining both the elements of water and earth, flowing yet rooted, emotions and practicality mixing. The granite grounds us and keeps us focused whilst allowing us to flow and overcome obstacles.
You cannot help but be embraced by this energy.
Our land and water.
We are located on Koh Phangan Island, tucked away on the remote beach of Haad Tien.
Named after the local Tien trees that grow along our beach line. These trees are hundreds of years old and said to hold healing properties. They connect the land and sea, offering protection, luck and growth.
Our living jungle juxtaposes the concrete of the modern world. This jungle breathes and sighs. Just like the water it will hold you safe in its arms. Take your time here to watch and listen, you will be rewarded. The sea here can be calm and crystal clear, or powerful and raw; depending on the time of year.
But always cleansing, always vibrant and always watching over us with a deep turquoise gaze.
“…It is indeed all about you, over the years all the different people who have been involved to add the different layers to create what it is today…”
