15 Day Meditation Retreat on Koh Phangan, Thailand

One Yoga’s 15-day program on Koh Phangan runs three yoga styles — Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin — alongside three meditation traditions — Vipassana, Theravada, Zen — inside a single fixed daily structure rather than letting participants pick a lane. Days open with meditation at 6:30 AM and morning yoga from 7:30 to 9:00, followed by breakfast, then self-practice or Q&A before a second meditation block. Afternoons bring yoga nidra or sound healing at 12:30, a rest period from 13:30 to 16:00, evening yoga at 16:00, and a closing silent meditation session at 19:00.

The property sits on Koh Phangan’s coast, with sea views from both the yoga and meditation shalas and an air-conditioned dining lounge for the warmer parts of the day. Accommodation can be private or shared and runs air-conditioned throughout the 14-night stay. Everything — teaching spaces, dining, and rooms — sits within the same resort grounds, so the schedule doesn’t require moving between locations.

The all-levels billing holds up in practice: certified teachers run the sessions, and the mix of styles means newcomers to Vipassana or Zen sitting practice get guided instruction rather than being left to figure it out. The pace is full but not relentless — the 13:30-16:00 rest block is long enough for a nap or a walk — though anyone put off by silent meditation periods or a 6:30 AM start should look elsewhere.

Watch out: Meals only cover breakfast and lunch buffets, and only on teaching days (Monday through Saturday). Dinners are excluded every day, and nothing is provided on the Sunday off — that’s four to five meals a week to plan for independently.

Insider Tip: The air-conditioned shalas and dining lounge run noticeably cooler than the tropical air outside, especially after a sweaty yoga block — a light layer is worth packing alongside standard yoga clothes.

Beyond accommodation and the listed meals, the package includes 30-day access to One Yoga’s online studio (900-plus classes) and on-site WiFi. Airport transfers, taxi rides from the ferry to the resort, and any activity outside the programme are excluded, along with weekend and non-teaching-day meals. Free cancellation applies to the booking. One Yoga also runs a longer 22-day meditation retreat on Koh Phangan following a similar structure, for anyone weighing a longer stay against the 15-day format.
