i've visited The Spa on Koh Samui to fast a number of times, but this trip I wanted to just laze in seclusion and eat good food somewhere tropical and gorgeous. The Spa Koh Chang totally delivered on that experience. The accommodation we stayed in (the huts) were lovely, quiet and extremely comfortable, with bath, balcony and aircon. The whole property is lush and teaming with flowers, orchids, palm trees and greenery, and as it is on the 'non developed' part of the island, it is far from the touristy strips that have ruined Samui (in my opinion) and threaten touring Koh Chang if development is allowed to go unchecked. The other benefit of holidaying at a health spa, aside from the food, is that it is full of people who are in the main quietly on their own healing journey, not full of screaming kids or college boys trying to get drunk and laid. There are great masseuses, and of course the spa services for fasting and cleansing are available to those who want them. the resort is not near the beach, however there are kayaks for the lagoon inlet and bikes to play on, and a shuttle bus to the beach for some sandy action. I loved it here, and great wifi in every room for free meant that when a little outside world was called for, one could indulge. Staff are lovely and helpful, but little english language, so be prepared to be patient, you get the message across eventually!
