Picture this: a rejuvenating getaway in picturesque Thailand where you have the time, space and everything you need to refresh, recharge and become the best and most healthy version of yourself. It’s this premise that wellness retreats bank on with demand for this type of holiday at Thailand resorts showing no signs of slowing down.

We can see why. With wellness retreats offering yoga and fitness classes, healthy and nourishing meals and lush views of everything Thailand has to offer, it’s unsurprising that tourists are flocking to book packages. Plus, did we mention that many of these retreats have glistening pools to relax in whether you want to cool down with a swim after a workout or simply soak up the vibe with a book in hand?

If you’re ready to give yourself the gift of revitalisation, Traveloka has you sorted below with our round up of Thailand’s best wellness retreats.

Best for: A luxury, revitalising escape.

From the expected spa treatments and health-focused meals to holistic treatments to onsite medical wellness checks, Amantara Welleisure Resort covers just about everything. Situated on Cape Panwa in southern Phuket, this wellness-focused resort has won numerous awards from the likes of Travel+Leisure, Condé Nast, World Luxury Awards and the World Luxury Spa Awards.

Best for:  Going off the grid and leaning into the moment

Situated just steps from the beach in Pak Nam Pran bay, the Aleenta Resort and Spa is free from TVs – making it the perfect opportunity to step away from our always-on culture and live in the moment. As well as an award-winning spa on site to indulge in, there are plenty of activities for you to enjoy including farm visits and a cycling track. There are also several thoughtfully curated retreats to choose from including “rest,” “active” or “nature,” depending on which piques your interest.

Amenities

Best for: A relaxing, revitalising escape for couples or a family-friendly getaway .

You’ll immediately feel a sense of calm when you check into the opulent Banyan Tree Samui. While the five-star accommodation offers much of what you’d expect from a luxury tropical getaway including yoga classes and spa experience, there are extra special touches to enjoy such as a bath menu. Another  highlight is the resort’s invigorating hydrothermal experience  “The Rainforest”, which draws upon the “healing power of water” to help guests unwind, according to its website. There’s also enough amenities to keep the kids busy while you put your feet up.

Amenities

Best for: A holistic wellness approach

Head to Absolute Sanctuary if you want to awaken all your senses and take a multi-faceted approach to wellness. The luxe wellness resort has invested in wellness practitioners who really know their stuff, specialising in areas such as art therapy, sound healing, yoga and more. The resort offers group retreats – including corporate retreats – as well as having a range of wellness programs to choose from.

Best for: Splashing out on an indulgent getaway

If you think this place looks familiar, no, your eyes aren’t deceiving you. The Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui was one of the main set locations for The White Lotus’ season three. In real life, the upscale resort is just as luxe (but hopefully filled with a lot less drama and murder during your stay!)  Lose yourself among its many dreamy features, including villas with private pools and ocean views and access to unforgettable experiences such as scuba diving and zip line adventures.

Amenities

Best for: Active, fitness retreats

Kick your fitness or weight-loss journey into gear with a specially curated holiday package at the Thanyapura Sports & Health Resort. You’ll never sit still with the large range of fitness activities up for grabs for guests to enjoy. The resort is a fitness hub that promotes holistic wellness in its state-of-the-art facilities. And with over 100 classes, there’s no shortage of choices no matter whether you want to stretch it out at yoga or put up a fight with a Muay Thai workout.
