Wellness retreats in Thailand with holistic healing and exceptional hospitality

Most trips to Thailand begin and end in the capital, Bangkok, where we can arrange a gentle introduction at one of the city’s premier hotels, perhaps indulging in a bamboo massage or a Din Sor Pong (Thai herbal white clay) body scrub.

Heading north, the cities of Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai are rich in culture, with temples, palaces and fragrant food markets to explore; in Chiang Mai you could stay on the riverside, cocooned in a sumptuous spa. Near Chiang Rai there are several oases of tranquility hidden in the forested jungle of the mountainous Golden Triangle region. Here, you can rest and rejuvenate with views of the Mekong River and scenic rice fields, or explore the stunning landscape on foot or by traditional longtail boat.

Then, take your pick of Thailand’s pristine islands for idyllic tropical retreats. The golden bays and jewel blue waters of Koh Samui, Koh Yao Noi and Koh Lanta are perfect for swimming, snorkelling and diving – or we can charter you a boat for a sunset island cruise. Though perhaps you’d prefer to hide away in a secluded spa, detoxing with holistic remedies or enjoying time in the sauna or salt room.

Whether you’d like to explore just one Thai region or all of Southeast Asia, our expert travel designers will organise a seamless multi-destination trip tailored to your needs with exclusive wellness experiences designed just for you.

Luxury accommodation in Thailand

There are many incredible places to stay in Thailand. Here are some of our favourites, handpicked by our travel designers:

Koh Samui

Kamalaya

With a monk’s cave at its centre and the beach on its doorstep, the Kamalaya is in the perfect position to assure you relax and revitalise. The accommodation ranges from the smaller Hillside Rooms, which feature private balconies and double beds to a series of sprawling 100 square-metre villas, hunkered down on granite boulders and providing sweeping sea views. The Pool Villas are incredibly spacious with an open-plan layout, private swimming pool and all within the seclusion of high stone walls. The resort’s wellness programs are at the centre of its offering. Detox with holistic remedies, relax your muscles with beachside yoga or design a schedule that fits your specific needs.

Koh Yao Noi

Six Senses Yao Noi

With 56 private villas sprawled along the jungle-clad Koh Yao Noi coastline, the Six Senses Yao Noi offers an idyllic experience in a tropical island setting, enclosed by spectacular seascape scenes. By taking a sustainable approach to hospitality, this resort implements an Environmental and Social Sustainability Policy, focusing on protecting the environment, energy efficiency, water and waste management, noise control and air quality. Choose from ocean, beachfront or hideaway villas; you can be perched on the cliffs with sweeping panoramas, hunkered down in the treeline just steps away from the white-sand beach, or secluded in the lush confines of tropical forest. The dining experiences at this resort reflect its eco-conscious outlook, with menus designed around a farm-to-table initiative, ingredients homegrown, and many products made on-site or sourced from local suppliers to eliminate plastic packaging and the carbon footprint of deliveries. Guests can pick from three atmospheric restaurants, spread across the island, serving Western, Asian and international dishes, as well as two bars. Relaxation is key to your stay here at Yao Noi, and each of the teak, traditional-style villas comes equipped with its own private infinity pool and terrace, perfect for soaking up the sun and al-fresco dining. Each villa is serviced by a personal butler, meaning you’ll never have to lift a finger – unless you want to. In that case, there’s a large range of activities available, including Thai kickboxing, rock climbing, water sports and a variety of cycling trails. The resort also caters well for children and promises an array of entertainment options to keep them happy throughout the holiday.

Phuket

Amanpuri

Some say this is one of the best resorts in all of South East Asia. We tend to agree. Overlooking the heavenly Andaman Sea on the west coast of Phuket with a secluded beach, Amanpuri’s unchecked luxury, discreet service and delicate Thai style make for a divinely deluxe stay. The forty elegant pavilions and villas are designed with traditional Thai architecture in mind sit amidst an exotic coconut plantation. Each has a sun deck, dining terrace, King sized bed and an oversized bathroom. Dining here consists of Thai, Italian, French and Japanese cuisine which is served over a variety of different eateries, while the resort’s bar offers the ideal spot to enjoy some poolside drinks. Amanpuri is also home to a library, gallery, gym and six tennis courts. For those who wish to indulge in genuine relaxation, take advantage of the Aman Spa where six Thai inspired pavilions, a sauna, a steam room and a range of treatments are available.

Koh Lanta

Layana Resort and Spa

Below rainforest-clad mountains lies Layana, a beautiful garden resort, along a three kilometre stretch of golden sand. Relaxation and wellbeing are at the core of the Layana and with an over-18 policy, adult guests are promised uninterrupted escapism. From huge garden pavilions to picturesque beach suites to the showstopper villa, La Maison, the Thai-inspired accommodation is both beautiful and superb. Luxuries include private balconies, open-air garden showers and second storey salas for nights under the stars. The walled garden spa boasts the expected array of rest-inducing amenities, plus a unique salt room where you can indulge in a therapeutic salt massage or treatment for a mineral-based detox. If you’d rather keep active though, head down to the beach to snorkel, kayak and dive, or explore secluded Koh Lanta on mountain bike, motorcycle and nature reserve tours. What’s more, an international menu is served at Tides Restaurant which sits prettily along the sun-soaked beach.

Chiang Mai

Anantara Chiang Mai Resort and Spa

Sitting by the Mae Ping River is the Anantara Chiang Mai Resort & Spa. A peaceful and serene oasis in which to shelter from the busy streets outside, the Anantara Chiang Mai Resort & Spa is Chiang Mai’s only five-star riverside hotel, Its modern design creates a stylish flair, while all guestrooms have sleek interiors and spacious balconies. With 52 Deluxe Rooms and 32 Club Suites, you have a large choice of accommodation to suit your needs. As well as waterside balconies, the Anantara Chiang Mai also provides a riverside pool which is surrounded by sun loungers arranged under stylish umbrellas. From the pool and gardens you’ll have a riverside view of the Chiang Mai locals fishing and playing. And adding to the already substantial tranquillity of hotel’s location, its spa can take you to new heights of pampering and relaxation. For more active pursuits, the Health Club has a modern fitness centre with everything from yoga to weights, while the attentive staff are more than happy to organise any local excursions (of which you have many to choose from). Moreover, the restaurant, originally a British consulate building, serves up a dazzling range of cuisine from Indian to Western, to Thai and Korean.

Chiang Rai

Pa Sak Tong

Pa Sak Tong is a beautifully secluded private estate of lush gardens, winding river and rice fields set amid the green forests of northern Thailand. The main accommodation is the sprawling three-bedroom Pa Sak Tong Villa within five acres of its own grounds overlooking a lotus pond. The villa also enjoys the service of a private butler and internationally-trained chef along with its own spa, steam room, and chemical-free, solar-heated swimming pool. Follow the river along to a small Khum Sak Tong Longhouse, village comprised of a two-bedroom villa and three river houses, idea of larger families or small groups. The collection also has its own chef, butler, spa and pool. Choose to spend your time here relaxing on the estate with a range of wellness treatments, practice yoga with the resident master and meditate, or wander the grounds and its organic gardens. You can also explore further afield with boat trips down the river and excursions to Chiang Rai city and the Golden Triangle.

The northern city of Chiang Rai is anchored within the storied Golden Triangle. This cross-border region, where Thailand meets Laos and Myanmar, stands as a cultural cornerstone of Indo-China. The mountainous landscape is centred on the confluence of the Ruak and Mekong rivers and is lush and fertile.

When to visit

The best time to visit Thailand is during its dry season. For most parts of the country, this would be between November and March, extending into April and May for some regions.

Thailand is characterised by the rainy, hot and cool seasons. The north is less humid and experiences the greatest range of temperatures with cold nights during the cool season. The temperatures are more consistent in southern Thailand but the Andaman coast (the west of the peninsula) is hit hardest during the rainy season (July–October). The east coast is generally sunnier and has less rain than the west coast between May and October, but is more susceptible to rain all year round, giving rise to beautiful, lush green countryside.
