Shedding their backpacker image, the neighbouring islands of Koh Samui and Koh Phangan are home to some of Thailand’s most immersive wellness retreats.
Connected by a 30-minute boat ride across the Gulf of Thailand, the sister islands of Koh Samui and Koh Phangan are the grandaddies of Thailand’s travel party scene. But while Koh Samui may have a reputation for raucous nightclubs and Koh Phangan’s popularity was founded on glow-stick-lit full-moon parties, they both now have another side to them.
Shrouded in a dense forest of palms, coconut trees, tropical flowers and limpid lotus ponds, Kamalaya encourages travellers to reconnect with themselves and the natural world, whether that means morning yoga classes overlooking the Gulf of Thailand, moonlit tasting dinners on the pearlescent, sandy beach or taking part in one of the hotel’s award-winning wellness programmes.
Having escaped the confines of the spa, wellness now influences the travel experience far and wide, offering new ways to discover the world. From luxury beach resorts with spas and infinity pools to tented lodges tucked away in the rainforest, Bali has accommodation to suit all tastes and budgets.From starry skies to Alpine peaks, sulphur-rich springs to fairytale forests, wellness in Austria is all about mindful moments spent in nature. We dive into its holistic history and identify the best ways for visitors to unwind outdoors.
