Samahita Retreat

Our Story

Founded by Paul Dallaghan and Jutima Chombhubutr, Samahita Retreat was established with a specific purpose in mind-as a venue for practicing yoga and learning healthy and positive living habits. As such, it provides an ideal environment in which to learn, experience, and practice the lessons imparted in our yoga retreats and courses. Few such places exist in the modern world. At Samahita Retreat we cultivate a friendly, comfortable environment that allows guests to be social or private, according to their liking. With excellent facilities at their disposal, guests have the option of engaging in a variety of practices, wellness retreats and treatments during their stay. Our facilities include a yoga shala, a meditation garden, a wellness center and treatment rooms, an herbal steam room, a saltwater swimming pool, a lounge, a restaurant that serves delicious vegetarian cuisine, a full juice bar, and a boutique. We have made a special effort to maintain eco-friendly standards throughout the entire property. Samahita Retreat lies on the south coast of Koh Samui, a tropical island in the Gulf of Thailand that has long stretches of pristine beaches and unspoiled land. Only about an hour away from Bangkok by air, an hour plus from Singapore, and three hours from Hong Kong, Samui has the allure of a remote island paradise but with the accessibility of the region’s most popular destinations. Samahita Retreat is a dedicated center with a strong purpose: to provide a place in which to practice balanced and healthy living in all areas of our life! Our aim is to share this way of life with others. YogaCoreCycle This is Samahita Retreat’s all-inclusive yoga and fitness holiday option, which includes accommodation, food, yoga, fitness-core and cardio, meditation and breath work. YogaCoreCycle divides the sessions into focused areas for body, breath, and mind. – Dedicated Yoga sessions involve meditation and breath work followed by foundational and grounding yoga pose classes. – Core combines functional fitness, core and strength work with TRXs, Bosus, stability balls, Uggis and more to work all muscle groups of the body in a unique fitness combo. – Our dynamic Cycle classes combine fun, music and cardio in a high intensity sea-view work out. The combined focus and effort serves to highlight mental and physical stability, strength training, balance, agility, weight loss and cardio in one fully integrated health and fitness program. The best part – it’s all open and optional. You can choose to take all of the classes, or select those that suit you depending on your time, interest and energy. All of our YogaCoreCycle classes have been designed to offer benefits whether taken individually or as part of the whole program. If you would like to spend more time on your own yoga practice to take home, you can still take the guided self-practice option where the teachers teach you step-by-step through the poses of the Ashtanga Vinyasa system, getting you to repeat and practice with confidence. The schedule is open enough to allow you to take the cycle class, breath and meditation and still put in full time on your yoga practice. Each day we offer a 30-minute breath work class to get you connected to the breath as a meditation and foundation for all your practices. In the afternoons there are relaxing restorative yoga classes. We recommend starting YogaCoreCycle on Saturday (Check in time is 2pm) as we plan the classes for the week. However, as a Flexi-Date Program, you can start these any day of the week. YogaCoreCycle is our foundation Flexi-Date Program. If you would like to also enjoy the benefits of detox, weight loss, wellness spa or de-stress then by selecting one of those programs you are still able to attend all classes but with the added focus on diet and therapies. Wellness Spa Our Standard and Complete Wellness Spa programs offer you the finest therapeutic experience, yoga and healthy eating. Specialized, holistic treatments include Water Irrigation Treatment, Shirodhara, Abhyanga, Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Chi Nei Tsang and Remedial Ultrasound. Our individually tailored and guided Detox Programs have been created from a blend of science and ancient wisdom. Our 3, 5, 7 and 10 day Detox Programs are inspired by Ayurveda and shaped by modern physiology and nutrition and personalized to suit your needs and goals. Yogi’s Detox, Nature’s Detox, Faster’s Detox and Candida Detox range from programs, which incorporate a mono-diet to a complete fasting option as well as specialized parasite cleansing programs. Weight Loss Our Weight Loss Program will help you transform your habits and lifestyle to achieve your body’s ideal weight. This program will educate you to choose and prepare food that is both nutritious and delicious, teach you a manageable exercise routine and assist in targeting the root causes of weight gain. De-stress Samahita offers a haven of peace and tranquility, allowing you to refocus and recharge with healing therapies, nourishing foods and rejuvenating supplements.
