Yoga Retreat in Koh Samui, Thailand
Join me for a wonderful week of yoga, cultural excursions, massages, delicious food and so much more at the Sandalwood Luxury Villas.
"Revitalize the body, Replenish the soul."
Set in a beautiful oasis of peace & tranquility in Koh Samui, the second largest island in the gulf of Thailand, known for its palm-fringed beaches, coconut groves and dense, mountainous rainforest, amazing food, and lively night markets.
Indulge the senses with the region’s delicacies as we visit the bustling night market in Fisherman’s Village, nourish the soul as we explore the majestic temples, invigorate the spirit as we cruise along the many islands, relax the body with an afternoon Spa session, & discover the beauty & mysteries of the mountains & waterfalls of Koh Samui. It will be a magical time to remember as we revitalize our bodies with daily yoga, while replenishing our souls with delicious foods while exploring the beauty of the surrounding area.
‘Namaste Koh Samui’ will not only be a retreat from our daily lives, but also a cultural experience as we explore the breathtaking scenery with exciting adventures & partake in the delicious cuisine of the area.
