Our first destination

Koh Phangan, Thailand

Turquoise bays, jungle-covered hills and an easy island rhythm — the setting for intimate retreats where every day is shaped with care.

The destination

An island made for retreat.

Koh Phangan lies in the Gulf of Thailand, a short boat journey from Koh Samui. Beyond its well-known beaches, the island is a place of quiet coves, rainforest trails and a genuinely relaxed pace of life.

It has long drawn people looking to slow down and reconnect — with themselves, with nature and with each other. We know it well, and we love sharing it with the communities we host.

The experience

What a retreat with us feels like.

Your own private village

Rather than a hotel, your group shares a small private village — pavilions, pools and gardens that are entirely yours, where everyone can feel at ease from the moment they arrive.

A host who looks after everyone

A dedicated host from our team welcomes your group on arrival, holds the rhythm of the days — meals, schedule and excursions — and stays close at hand throughout the stay, so nothing is left to chance.

Tropical surroundings & the pool

Lush gardens, palms and a swimming pool set the tone for unhurried days: a morning swim, an afternoon in the shade, a sunset shared with new friends.

Yoga & wellness

Practice shaped around your studio's teaching — led by your own instructor or an experienced local teacher — with space for rest, reflection and gentle wellbeing.

Fresh, thoughtful meals

Nourishing food inspired by the island, prepared with care and enjoyed together. The shared table is often where a group becomes a community.

Local excursions

Discover hidden waterfalls, quiet beaches and island life through curated activities that reveal the Koh Phangan most visitors never see.

Intimate by design

Small groups. Real connection.

Our retreats welcome a small group of around fifteen guests. It is the size at which everyone knows one another by name, conversations carry on long after dinner, and a studio community grows closer.

Time together is balanced with time alone. Guests are free to join every moment — or to take a quiet afternoon for themselves.

The format

Six nights on the island.

Our typical retreat is six nights for a small group of approximately fifteen guests — long enough to fully arrive, short enough to fit a busy life.

A gentle daily rhythm

  1. MorningPractice as the day begins, followed by a slow breakfast together.
  2. MiddayFree time by the pool, a massage, a book, or simply nothing at all.
  3. AfternoonAn excursion, a workshop or an invitation to explore the island.
  4. EveningGentle practice or quiet reflection, then dinner at the shared table.

An illustration only — every programme is shaped together with the hosting studio.
