I needed to escape the host of bad health and stress issues of life back home, and was absolutely blown away by this place, a pristine retreat in beautiful surrounds. We each did separate packages, an ultimate detox and a rejuvenation package, and were absolutely amazed at the range of spa treatments that were included -- DAILY -- into the... More

We didn’t stay here but we had several hours before our flight departed so we spent the afternoon at Absolute Sanctuary. It’s only 5 min from the Koh Samui airport so it was really convenient. For 650 Baht you can use their beautiful infinity pool, sauna, lockers and you can take a yoga class in one of their nice studios.... More

What did I like? - The service was outstanding - Excellent choice of yoga classes offered. Great teachers. Kes was one of the best yoga teachers I've ever had. Very hands on. I learnt a lot. -...

I stayed there for 3 nights with a friend who has gone back there 6 times in the past 4 years. The service was tip top from ALL their members of staff. They were all very attentive and friendly; well groomed and knowledgeable and confident in their areas of responsibilities. The resort has only 38 rooms so it was very... More

This place is absolutely amazing! It's so extremely thought-through. All their treatments are top notch, the staff is so friendly, the yoga teachers are great, and the food is delicious. Their raw food menu is the best in Thailand! I would really recommend it to anyone! This video gives a good understanding of how nice it is! http://www.novasans.com/blog/2011/05/absolute-sanctuary-on-koh-samui-thailand/

this was an amazing 5 day yoga retreat. I had just finished a really intense business trip and needed to unwind. The first 2 days i was still in work mode, scheduling our days, planning which yoga class to attend and what time lunch would be at. At the end of the second day i succumbed to the relaxation and...

As the plane started to descend, my sleepy head woke up when i saw the islands and the big, blue sea surrounding this place called Samui. I was met by the sweet and friendly Absolute Sanctuary staff/driver and was immediately brought to the place. A breath taking place in a quiet corner of the island. The Absolute Sanctuary will be...

I had a five night stay at Absolute Sanctuary a couple of months ago and loved every minute of it. As I was travelling on my own, I wanted to stay somewhere where I felt safe and comfortable, but didn't want to be surrounded by families and honeymooners. I also wanted to stay somewhere where I could completely relax, and... More

My husband and I stayed for 5 nights at Absolute sanctuary and while he signed up for the detox program, I opted for the healthy living - yoga and food. The food and yoga were great - you really get a good workout and it was relaxing to swim in the pool after a tough hot yoga session. Food was... More

Overall the staff were great. They were always friendly and smiling and wanted to help us as much as possible. This makes a tremendous difference in the quality of stay. In general, this is not a place to stay if you are not going to do a detox program. The resort wasn't really designed in mind for the typical guest... More
