Finding a Yoga Resort in Koh Samui ? The Best Approach

Posted by Matthias Froelich on December 2nd, 2016

Wellness travel is on the rise. Many people are opting for spa holidays, yoga resorts, health getaways, and more. It is not only because they need a break from their chaotic personal and professional lives but also to find clarity and direction. This rise of wellness tourism is a reflection of changing priorities. People are becoming conscious about their health, and they want to spend their hard-earned money on eating healthy, staying active and being fully alive.

For people that feel the need to refresh their spirit, rediscover balance and reignite their passion for living – a yoga resort is the perfect place to visit. Koh Samui is a beautiful exotic island in Thailand encapsulating everything about a vacation – from luxury spa treatments and yoga training to cocktails and beaches – making it a perfect destination for holidaying. However, there are certain points to be considered while choosing a yoga resort in Koh Samui. A few considerations are mentioned here to help you find the best yoga resort.

Location: The location of the yoga resort is an important factor to consider. Although, Koh Samui is a perfect destination offering you everything you need for an amazing vacation, the location of the resort within the island is of prime importance. You have to feel good in the atmosphere. If you are more of a beach person, then look for a resort right on the beaches. However, if you love nature Koh Samui offers less well known resorts in the cool mountains away from the crowds on the beaches. The choice should be up to your taste and preference.

Price and Duration: Yoga resorts in fantastic destinations like Koh Samui can range quite a bit in price. So it is important to check exactly what is included before you book you tickets and start travelling. It is easy to overspend if your accommodation is not included or if meals are in addition to the trip cost. You also have to factor in the duration of your vacation and the cost of treatments and activities to get to the final cost of staying at a yoga resort. Choose the right length of stay with the appropriate activities and look for all-inclusive packages.

Expertise: There is a well-intentioned motive behind every wellness program in a yoga resort and this should align with your requirements from the retreat. However there are many resorts claiming knowledge about wellness without sufficient facilities and only profit-making in mind. To find a program that focuses on you, checking out a few details might help. For instance look for a well-planned wellness agenda with friendly staff and instructors that are experienced and good at teaching. Check out as many reviews as you can to determine levels of expertise.

Type of Yoga: A yoga resort brings like-minded people together in a comfortable and soothing environment. Select the resort that speaks to your style of practice and other specific interests around yoga and you are unlikely to go wrong with your choice. Also, since yoga is quite a complex and varied subject to master, having trainers with sufficient experience in your preferred style will maximize the enjoyment of your stay.
