22 Day Meditation Retreat on Koh Phangan, Thailand

You know that feeling when you want to completely reset your meditation practice? This 22-day retreat on Koh Phangan is exactly that kind of deep dive. Your days start early with meditation at 6:30am, followed by yoga practice from 7:30-9am. After breakfast, there’s time for self-practice or Q&A sessions, then another hour of meditation before lunch. The afternoon brings yoga nidra or sound healing, a generous lunch break, evening yoga from 4-5:30pm, and ends with silent meditation at 7pm. The practice covers everything from Hatha and Vinyasa to Yin yoga, plus Vipassana, Theravada, and Zen meditation styles. It’s a full spectrum approach that gives you serious depth across different traditions.

The retreat happens at One Yoga’s private beachfront resort, which honestly feels like having your own slice of Koh Phangan’s coastline. Your air-conditioned room (availability dependent) sits right by the ocean, and both the yoga and meditation shalas have sea views. There’s something really grounding about doing your morning meditation with ocean sounds as your backdrop. The property has air-conditioned spaces for meals and meditation, plus free wifi when you need to check in with the outside world.

This works beautifully for all levels - I’ve seen complete beginners thrive alongside experienced practitioners. The 4.69/5 rating from 55 reviews backs this up. Solo travelers do particularly well here; the structured daily schedule and group meals create natural connection points. However, if you’re someone who gets restless with routine or prefers city energy, 22 days of this rhythm might feel intense. The early mornings and silent meditation periods require genuine commitment to the process.

Insider Tip: Pack extra clothes for the first week while your body adjusts to the humidity and increased activity. Having backup options reduces one small stress during your transition period.

Your vegetarian and vegan meals are covered for breakfast and lunch Monday through Saturday, with dinner included on teaching days. The resort provides wholesome buffet-style eating that supports your practice without being restrictive. You also get 30 days of access to their online studio with over 900 classes, which is perfect for maintaining momentum when you return home. What you’ll pay extra for includes getting to the island, airport transfers, and meals on non-teaching days (usually Sundays).

Getting to Koh Phangan requires flights to Koh Samui, then a ferry ride - budget extra time and money for this journey. The good news is they offer free cancellation, so you can book with confidence. Bring comfortable yoga clothes for tropical weather, a water bottle, and any personal meditation props you prefer. The retreat runs year-round, though avoiding peak rainy season (October-December) means more consistent weather for your outdoor practice sessions.
