Details

You’ve been holding so much. Moving through your days, checking the boxes, showing up for everyone else. Maybe you’ve even forgotten what it feels like to just be. This retreat invites you to slow down and reconnect with the rhythm underneath all the noise. To realign, recharge, and remember who you are-- beyond the to-do lists and expectations. It’s not about escaping your life. It’s about returning to yourself, gently and fully. You will be held by nature, supported by a like-hearted community, and guided through movement, stillness, and connection.

Location

Surat Thani, Thailand

Ko Samui District, in Surat Thani, Thailand, is a tropical island paradise famed for its palm-fringed beaches, turquoise waters, and lush mountainous interior dotted with waterfalls and coconut groves. Known simply as Koh Samui, it combines natural beauty with vibrant cultural and leisure offerings, from Buddhist temples like Wat Plai Laem and the iconic Big Buddha to bustling night markets, luxury resorts, and wellness retreats. The island is a hub for relaxation and rejuvenation, offering yoga, spa therapies, and holistic healing, while also catering to adventure seekers with diving, snorkeling, and jungle treks. With its mix of serene escapes and lively beach towns, Ko Samui provides a quintessential Thai island experience.

“I’ve always been hesitant about joining retreats because I’m never sure what to expect or if I’ll fit in, but this experience was unforgettable and so thoughtfully curated by a group of amazing women. ​ The yoga, breath work, sound healing, journaling, heartfelt conversations, and so many laughs were among my favorite parts of the retreat…not to mention the stunning location! ​ If you’re on the fence about joining, I encourage you to go for it! You definitely won’t regret investing in yourself and in the trip of a lifetime.” Madie Hart, USA

“I had such a beautiful experience at this retreat. The views alone were worth it and doing yoga with that backdrop was something I’ll never forget. Every detail was so intentional from the tasty, healthy meals to the calm energy of the space. The yoga and breathwork sessions helped me reconnect with myself in a way I didn’t realise I needed. But what made it really special was the group of women I got to share it with. There was so much openness, laughter, and support. I left feeling lighter, more grounded, and genuinely connected with myself and others. Highly recommend if you’re looking to reset and reconnect in a truly beautiful place.” Claudia Woodham, UK

“When I first arrived, I was carrying the weight of life’s stresses and honestly felt a bit resistant to diving into our first yoga session but all that shifted so quickly. After the yoga came the most beautiful sound healing and breathwork session and I came out of it feeling re-connected to my body, my purpose and set on building a meditation space at home. The setting is pure magic - stunning views, amazing architecture, and just the definition of island life. As a foodie I was impressed too - all of it was super delicious, nourishing and made even better by sharing it with an incredible group of kind hearted, cool and interesting women! So grateful for this experience. My soul needed it more than I knew. More, please! x” Lauren Jane, AUS

“I’d never done breathwork before but it was honestly amazing. I felt a real release with my body wanting to move and let go of emotions I didn’t even realise I was holding. The yoga sessions were great, the food was incredible, and the location was absolutely stunning. Such a beautiful group of girls too.” Alana Unkovich, NZ

“This location is stunning and the facilitators are some of the most joyful spirits you will meet! The idea is great and well managed. The style of breath work I experienced with Maeve really resonated with me. It is flexible, expansive and profound. Raisa's sound healing was healing and deeply relaxing. Yoga classes with Sarah are great because she is a technical teacher while also being fun, flowy and inspiring. This retreat is great from concept to fruition.” Magie Hogan, USA

“An Unforgettable Yoga Retreat!The experience I had at Samui Island retreats was the best retreat experience I’ve ever been to. I loved it so much because It was small and intimate, non intimidating and this break was exactly what I needed. I felt instantly at ease from the beginning to the end, I felt completely rejuvenated and the whole experience was so rewarding. It felt like a sanctuary immersed in a peaceful and welcoming atmosphere overlooking the best beaches in Koh Samui and surrounded in lush green jungle as a backdrop. It’s the perfect location for a retreat. The yoga sessions were beautifully curated, offering a perfect balance of movement, breathwork, sound healing and meditation. Each of the amazing instructors were not only skilled but also incredibly compassionate, ensuring that each participant felt comfortable and supported, regardless of experience level. Every detail, from the thoughtfully prepared meals to the serene accommodations, contributed to a truly nourishing experience. The food was a highlight. Really healthy, flavourful and so delicious! What made this retreat truly special was the sense of community it fostered. I connected with like-minded individuals on a meaningful level, and the shared experience of growth was incredibly powerful. If you’re looking for a retreat that restores your energy, deepens your practice, and leaves you feeling lighter and more inspired, this is the one. I highly recommend anyone and everyone to go. I will definitely be coming back!” May Marsh, NZ
