Samahita Retreat
Thailand, Southeast AsiaAre you yearning for an escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life? Welcome to Samahita Retreat, a slow-paced, charming retreat hidden on Koh Samui’s sleepy south-west coastline. It sits on a strip of powder white beach, where the colourful long-tail boats dock in the balmy turquoise waters, and it's shielded by the coconut trees that gently whisper in the breeze.
You will be woken by the sound of the roosters at sunrise, and days follow a gentle pace with lots of Yoga, stretching, meditation and mindfulness, om-chanting and candle gazing. The schedule also includes spinning classes and high-intensity core workouts - anything to get your diaphragm ready for the hours of Yoga ahead. Meals are communal, and the food is nourishing and wholesome, with lots of fresh fish and tangy vegetarian dishes. There is also a special corner for Detox and bone broths, salads and dips, and some enticing healthy desserts. read more...
This low-key resort is the brainchild of Irishman Paul Dallaghan – the Yogi’s Yogi, an internationally-acclaimed Yogi master whose passion and heart lies at Samahita. When he is not working on his PhD in the US, he is found here, teaching the teachers who follow him cult-like, and in recent years he has allowed anyone with an interest in Yoga to come along.
Samahita is the absolute perfect place for solo travels and it welcomes people of all ages. Accommodation is intentionally simple with no unnecessary trappings, yet it has all you need including a very good Wi-Fi signal. If you want to learn Yoga or perfect your practice without breaking the bank, there is arguably few better places than this laid-back retreat.
