Venue

 

Absolute Sanctuary, Thailand’s premier detox, spa and yoga resort, is a dedicated yoga teacher training and retreat centre. The Moroccan-inspired boutique wellness resort offers healing spa treatments and features three beautiful yoga studios specially designed for yoga trainings with wooden flooring, floor-to-ceiling windows, lecture facilities, impressive ocean or jungle views and props such as mats, blocks, straps and bolsters.

 

Students will be staying in comfortable twin-share accommodation (single subject to supplement) with modern-day amenities and feast on healthy buffet-style spa cuisine meals featuring salads, juices, smoothies, vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes during their training programme. The venue is located close to a few beaches, and local restaurants are a short taxi ride away. On your days off, you will have the choice of taking Absolute Sanctuary’s free shuttle bus to either Chaweng or Cheong Mon beaches. On the days spent at the venue, you can refresh yourself in the 20 x 10 m infinity swimming pool that is a central feature of the resort next to a nutritious juice bar.

 

Free Wi-Fi is available to guests throughout the resort. There is also a guest lounge area with Internet terminals.

 

The Love Kitchen

The resort’s restaurant, The Love Kitchen, serves up healthy and tantalising spa cuisine meals. Brunch includes cereals, yogurts and a variety of fresh fruits, with hot and cold savoury options. Dinner feature hearty salads, fresh nori or spring rolls, burritos, stir fries, a fish or chicken dish, casseroles and savoury Thai curries. On your breaks on course study days, you will be served nutritious juices and smoothies to maintain your concentration level. The food is mostly vegetarian, but animal protein options are available daily for lunch and dinner so that everyone is well taken care of. Meals are served family-style, in a buffet, and while it’s not fine dining, it is delicious, natural and supports yoga students perfectly.

 

Thailand and Koh Samui

Thailand is a beautiful, safe and welcoming place. If you’ve never been before, you’ll fall in love! The food is amazing and the people are extremely friendly. It is a wonderful place to study yoga with its rich culture.

 

The island of Koh Samui is also known as the island of healing. There was nothing but coconut trees until about 30 years ago. Today, it is an international tourist destination specially known for its spa and detox resorts, but it still retains most of its beauty and charm. An authentic Thai massage as part of your yoga training is an experience we recommend.

 

The beaches are stunning, with rolling hills and powerful sunsets. There are 3 international hospitals on the island, dozens of banks and ATM machines, a Tesco Lotus supermarket and a movie theatre. So if you forget something or need something, it’s no problem at all.
