Charlotte's Review of Absolute Sanctuary, Thailand
If you're a fan of yoga, sunshine, delicious healthy food, fresh fruit smoothies and incredible juices that can't do anything but whack a huge smile upon your face - then this is the place for you! In fact, I can honestly say, being healthy has never been so easy for me as it was during my week at this retreat.

Paul's Review of Absolute Sanctuary
Arriving in Koh Samui, I was greeted by a friendly Absolute Sanctuary driver and taken to this healthy hideaway, located in a quiet part of the Island. Absolute Sanctuary is Thailand's premier detox and yoga resort and just five minutes from the airport, a stunning Moroccan-inspired boutique resort for those seeking a holiday to rejuvenate, unwind and lead a healthy lifestyle.

Debbie
Visited July 2019The facilities, the services and the knowledgeable members of staff say everything about Absolute Sanctuary: just perfect! I wanted to kickstart my Pilates programme after a short break and I certainly met my objective. Health and Fitness Travel listened to my needs, requirements and preferences and suggested Absolute Sanctuary after just a few minutes on the phone. I’m returning next year and bringing a few friends with me!

Andy
Visited January 2019I had an absolutely perfect ten days at Absolute Sanctuary - I could not have hoped for a better time! It was so relaxing and totally focused on my wellbeing. I lost weight and gain muscles and health. I also gain my mind back! It exceeded my expectations. The Spa was great at reorganising my schedule to fit my preferences. The Yoga classes were timed at the start and end of every day which allowed a lot of time in the middle of the day to focus on other activities. What I valued the most was Yoga and the excellent Yoga teachers – it’s hard to find another place in the world with such an in-depth approach to Yoga. It’s also great price, considering the abundance of activities and treatments, the amazing room and delicious healthy food. The majority of people there were solo travels and the resort was geared up for this. I made some great friends. Health and Fitness Travel was great throughout the booking.

Adam
Visited December 2018Excellent hotel for Yoga, Detox and Pilates. I’m returning again next year, for the 5th time. It truly has everything I could ask for and it’s amazing value!

Lucy
Visited November 2018Thank you Health and Fitness Travel for organising this great holiday. The Detox programme was perfect for me, I actually lost 8 lbs at the end of my 7 days stay. I feel cleaner inside and my digestive problems have all gone. Also, the facilities were great and the members of staff were very accommodating. I’m now recommending to friends and will be speaking with you soon to book my next healthy holiday.

Janette
Visited October 2018Absolute Sanctuary was perfect! Staff was extremely helpful, food was clean, fresh and healthy. Treatments were exceptional as were the yoga classes and consultations. I cannot fault anything! A fantastic place to stay from beginning to end! This is a must go to place. You can be as busy or quiet as you like, with a wide range of classes taught by experts. I loved how easy it was to book and my needs were met in an efficient and professional manner by Health and Fitness Travel.

Annemarie
Visited September 2018A great place to spend time on a body and mind reset. The Spa was very accommodating with the schedule of activities and attended all my requests. I was on the Detox programme and it was all I could hope for. I lost weight and felt more energetic, not to mention the change in my lifestyle. I’m coming back next year. In my opinion, Absolute Sanctuary is exactly what the name says. If you engage with all it, you will love it.

Amy
Visited February 2018Thank you, Health and Fitness Travel, for being absolutely amazing and helpful throughout my booking at Absolute Sanctuary. I was a little nervous to book as a solo traveller but you made me feel excited about this new experience and made the whole process so simple. All my questions were answered promptly and efficiently. I felt really relaxed knowing that everything was organised for me and when I arrived I received the same care and attention. Absolute Sanctuary is a special place, with special people – I recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing and healthy holiday.

Emma
Visited January 2018Amazing resort with emphasis on quality rather than quantity. As a first time solo traveller, I found the staff and guest interactions comfortable, as I had the freedom of choosing when to join in or go alone to reflect and relax. The members of staff are superb and couldn’t do enough to make me feel at ease. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they always had a smile in their faces, fom the bar staff to the general manager. I’m so lucky to have found Health and Fitness Travel and been matched with the perfect destination for my needs!

John
Visited January 2018Everything was really nice and well organised. They really have the right arrangements in terms of rooms and activities. I lost 10lbs doing the Detox programme and couldn’t be happier. I’m back home and still following the principles, so should have another couple of lbs off soon. The Spa facilities were superb and the members of staff very friendly and helpful. Health and Fitness Travel was excellent throughout the booking and even during my stay, world-class service!

"Great service and friendly attitude" - Clare
Visited December 2017I had such a great time at Absolute Sanctuary. The setting is beautiful and for me the highlight was the really amazing yoga sessions, the teachers are truly fantastic! Also, the personal training sessions are the best I have ever had! The Reception lady had the most wonderful attitude and was a true problem solver, in her own words 'anything is possible'. Great service and friendly attitude from everyone, which made a real difference on my holiday! Fantastic experience overall. Thanks a lot Health and Fitness Travel for booking all for me hassle-free.

Visited December 2016It was truly amazing and I am already thinking about my next holiday at Absolute Sanctuary! The hotel was wonderful and the Pilates instructor absolutely fantastic.
-
Michelle
Visited October 2016The holiday was just what I needed! Perfect weather and a week to relax, eat well and get myself back into some good exercise habits. I plan to do this yearly. I highly recommend Absolute Sanctuary for those travelling alone and wanting a stress-free break. Everything was taken care of and the staff were superb.

Visited June 2016I had a lovely time . The food, accommodation and staff were great. It was a great place to go as a solo traveller. I met some lovely people but also felt ok about being on my own. I’d definitely go again!

Linda
Visited March 2016Thank you, I had such a lovely holiday it's just a shame I had to come back!! The hotel was wonderful, the staff was brilliant, as well as the food. Pilates classes were incredibly good. I highly recommend Health and Fitness Travel and Absolute Sanctuary! Thanks again for all your help.

Kjersti
Visited January 2016I’m feeling revitalised, healthier and stronger! Everything was great - the hotel, the flexibility (it was easy to make changes to my program) and the treatments. The personal trainer was amazing and I was able to try all kinds of activities. It turned out that yoga wasn't really my thing, but there was so much more on offer! I would love to go back sometime soon. To me, it was a trip of a lifetime! Thank you for organizing everything, I really appreciate your service and the way you managed everything!

"I plan to go back at least once a year" - Cathryn
Visited May 2013Health and Fitness travel found me the perfect holiday to fit my needs! The experience was quick, easy and professional. Despite there being lots of choices it was easy to hone in quickly on the holiday that suited what I wanted and my budget.
In between leaving a job and setting up a new business I spent 10 days at Absolute Sanctuary on the fitness program - I wanted to feel fitter, lose weight and relax and I achieved all 3 aims. The place is so nice - really relaxed, great service and people (fellow guests and staff). The food was just fantastic, but even those doing the full detox program seemed happy with the drinks they were being given.
The gym could do with some more equipment but Marco, my personal trainer, was really creative and effective with the kit that he had. In particular, the boxing and pool sessions made a real difference and were fun too. I really enjoyed my daily personal training sessions. The yoga was great, Jana is wonderful and gave me a great introduction to various different types of yoga.
It's a great place to go as a solo traveller - in part because most of the other guests are on their own too but also because of the type of holiday. The fitness program gives your day just enough structure that you are always 'busy' but never to the extent that it affects your ability to relax. Daily treatments (massage, saunas etc.) were just heaven. I've had long term back and neck problems and within days of arrival felt so much better (I think the yoga had a lot to do with that too).
Like a lot of other people there who are already regular visitors I plan to go back at least once a year. For the first time ever losing weight didn't feel like an exercise in deprivation - Absolute Sanctuary makes it feel like a pleasure with such lovely food, fun exercise, yoga and indulgent massages and treatments. It's changed how I think about food and exercise and the weight is still falling off 3 weeks after coming home. -

Highs
- This is the meeting point for dedicated yogis and those who aim to become one; with more than 25 classes weekly lead by teachers from all over the world, it makes for the perfect yoga retreat.
- Everything at Absolute Sanctuary encourages you to create healthy habits, from the integrating fitness schedule to the tasty nutritious meals and exhilarating workshops.
- Their restaurant is not called the Love Kitchen for nothing: the healthy, fresh and all-natural food will leave you wanting more. Thankfully, there are cooking classes available to learn how to prepare these delicious meals by yourself.
- As relaxation is as important as exercising, the spa centre provides luxurious treatments for sore muscles and occupied minds. On offer are massages, healing therapies as well as body wraps, scrubs and soaks to pamper and refresh.
- You won’t find bland, restrictive meals and joyless cardio sessions here, guests will achieve wellness goals like weight loss and detox by discovering what it means and takes to lead healthy and active life.
- Unlike typical fly and flop holiday destinations, people visit Absolute Sanctuary with a purpose. There are many like-minded solo travellers that have the same goal as you, so expect to depart with a transformed body and new friends.
- Located on a rather quiet spot in Koh Samui, the hotel’s ambience only provides 38 rooms and exudes pure relaxation and peacefulness without crowded and noisy public places.
Lows
- This fitness holiday is great for those who want to focus on health and fitness and therefore don’t expect an outstandingly quantity of luxury and exclusivity.
- To follow the purpose of healthy living and detox, there is a strict no-alcohol and smoking policy within the entire resort.
- Due to its secluded location, you can use the shuttle bus available to take you to the nearby beaches and shopping facilities.
- Because of its strong emphasis of health and wellness, families and romantic couples could happen to miss some holiday indulgence and blissful evening entertainment.
- As the restaurant closes at 9:30, there is no other choice than heading to your room and preparing for a restful good night’s sleep.
