Absolute Sanctuary 

If you are partial to small but brilliant spa hotels, then Absolute Sanctuary on the Thai island of Koh Samui is one to hole up in. It excels at Reformer Pilates, yoga, and detox, as well as weight-loss, with the teachers dynamic and adept at getting the most out of their pupils. The food from their Love Kitchen Restaurant is exquisite – zingy fresh salads, ceviche and spring rolls, chilled soups, and curries – with all ingredients locally sourced. So whether you want to lie low for 7 nights or hide away for 2 months, this little piece of mind-and-body-altering paradise might only be small, but it’s certainly big on results.

Chiva-Som 

It’s a testament to the brilliance of Chiva-Som Hua Hin that even after 28 years of operating it is still triumphantly at the very top of its game, although this is not a surprise to us at Healing Holidays as we know how much work goes in before any new class is added to their schedule, how stringent the vetting process is of every expert and staff member, and how in-depth the training is at their academy. This is why it’s a multi-award winning Spa and a world-class specialist in every area of health and wellness, providing a full-stack approach to maximising physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing.
