The Spa Koh Chang Resort

I booked a 7-day yoga retreat at Koh Chang Spa in March 2024, and it was an incredible experience. The accommodation was stunningly beautiful, offering a perfect environment to relax and unwind. Also the food was delicious. The morning yoga classes with Kailash were held in a larger group setting, and I really enjoyed them. Kailash is exceptionally knowledgeable about yoga, and his teaching style is both engaging and accessible. In the afternoons, I had private workshops with Kailash, which I highly recommend. He tailored our sessions to my specific yoga level and personal goals, dedicating a lot of time and attention to my practice. By the end of the week, I felt remarkably strong, both mentally and physically. Kailash’s expertise and dedication made me feel incredibly comfortable and supported throughout the retreat. I would absolutely book this retreat again in a heartbeat.

very poor , breakfast buffet shocking , resort in desperate need of improvements, pool very small , could be fantastic resort but major work needed, lots of wooden slats broken and seems to be short of staff , hopefully will improve as in beautiful location

The spa was ok and staff were friendly. BUT under no circumstances take the tour operators they supply. It took us 7 hours in an appalling old smelly van to get to Pattaya. I missed my flight and the driver was both aggressive and very rude. I was told it would take maximum 5 hours. There were no traffic jams but the van wouldn't go above 70kms an hour. The driver spent at least 5 hours of the 7 on the phone. We all agreed he was super rude. Disgusting journey and ended up costing me over 700 dollars due to missing my flight. When I told the drive I was going to miss my flight there was no apoligie he just said well you should have taken the plane. Dont use this service

I rarely write reviews but I had such a wonderful time at the Ko Chang Spa I feel compelled to share my experience with anyone considering the retreat. The setting is a stunning, beautifully curated jungle backdrop but with all the amenities required for a comfortable stay. We stayed in the hillside cottage rooms which are perfect for enjoying the view and have a fabulous (sheltered) outdoor bath (and indoor shower) to enjoy. Our balcony looked out onto the resort jungle and mountains! The staff are welcoming and happy to go the extra mile to ensure you have everything you need. Olivia is the wonderfully spirited resident yoga and detox guru who ensures your detox programme is tailored to your needs and keeps you motivated - if that’s the reason for your visit. The thai and essential oil massages were excellent (thanks to Nalini and Lek) and I left knot free! There’s on-site complementary kayaking along the mangroves and local trips to a waterfall and stunning Long Beach - which I recommend highly! The food is freshly made and tasty although the breakfast is a little basic. Lunch and dinner options were good. At times I struggled to communicate with some of the restaurants staff due to their lack of English and although I agree I should be attempting to speak Thai when in Thailand - it would have been helpful for all if they spoke some basic English. The owners grandmother was often onsite and spoke fantastic English - she will attempt to teach it I’ve been told. There’s also a handy complementary taxi to and from the ferry port included. If you want a retreat in a unique, peaceful setting, surrounded by nature with a great pool, lake, daily yoga and massages on site then the Koh Chang Spa is the perfect choice!!

Thanks to Poon (owner), Jang (aromatherapist & masseuse), Nim (yoga instructor) and eveyone else for helping to make sure that my wife and I enjoyed our 3½ day detox semi-fast! We'll definitely be back 😁

We did not stay at the resort (unfortunately) but discovered it by coincidence on bike passing by. We were amazed about the resort in every way and came back the next day for a treatment. I had a 90 minute back/neck/shoulder massage with employee named “Lek Lek” - and it was the best massage of my life. She is very skilled and opened my back in a new way - and with her happy spirit, she deserved a hug after the experience

Having done the detox multiple times at The Spa Samui Lamai Beach & Village, I was keen to experience this as a comparison. Oh my word I’m so glad I did! It is the exact same programme which I know and love, and which really works. Even has ‘Guy’s breakfast’ on the menu 😄. The refurbished rooms are beautiful, ours had a huge bathtub and amazing balcony. The room was a fabulous size with an extremely comfortable kingsize bed. Massage was amazing too, including Ampuku. Gym needs an overhaul, but I imagine that is next on the refurbish agenda. But there is yoga, and there are bicycles and kayaks free to use. If you know the sister Spa’s in Samui this is more like the village in its peaceful location, but nicer as it’s not as hilly. It doesn’t have anything nearby so if you want to explore the busier parts of the island you’ll need a car/scooter. The nearest beach is Long beach, 10 min shuttle from the hotel, and one of the loveliest we’ve found in Thailand. This is the perfect detox oasis and I’m already planning my next trip. Thank you to Poon & your team, your resort is a magical haven in a crazy world.

I couldn’t have start my vacations better! I arrived being exhausted from life, definitely needed a break - and in the second I entered this beautiful gem, I felt I‘m able to breath again. Sounds pathetic - but it‘s just the truth. Nuch and her family run a beautiful place with just a few bungalows in the greenest area you could imagine. It’s on the way less touristy east side of Koh Chang - and it is actually WAY more beautiful than the pictures I can see here show. They also recently renovated the restaurant, the reception area and also a couple bungalows. The fast&detox retreat was so professionally and lovely accompanied - I called Nuch my Detox Mama after only 2 days. Really couldn’t feel more de-stressed and lovely treated as I experienced there. Thanks again for everything ＜3

If you want to reset your body and mind, look no further. It’s becoming my ritual now to come here every year. You will leave this place with a new body and new perspective. You will not be able to find anything like this at this price in Thailand.
