4 Day Ananda Healing Retreat in Rawai Phuket, Thailand

Mangosteen Ayurveda & Wellness Resort runs two versions of its Ananda Healing Retreat from the same property in Rawai — this four-day package and a 6-day edition. The shorter version is not simply the longer one cut down: its inclusions list a free shuttle to the beach, a 30-minute massage, and two herbal steam sauna sessions, none of which appear in the 6-day listing’s own inclusions — extras rather than a stripped-down version of the same package.

Each day runs one 60-minute morning yoga session and one 60-minute afternoon session, both built around soul-healing meditation or prana breathing rather than a pure asana class. Three spa treatments are included across the stay, chosen to support each guest’s stated goal for the retreat, alongside the two steam sauna sessions and the 30-minute massage.

Watch out: those spa sessions are totals for the whole three-night stay, not a daily allowance — three treatments and two sauna sessions across four days, not per day. Confirm the schedule with the resort so expectations match what’s actually delivered.

All meals are vegan by default, with vegetarian and ayurvedic accommodations available on request; there’s no meat or fish on the menu across breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Accommodation is a private villa rather than a shared room, on Phuket’s quieter southern coast.

Insider Tip: the free shuttle to the beach is a genuine perk worth using — it’s listed in the inclusions but easy to overlook next to the spa and yoga schedule, and it’s the simplest way to get ocean time without arranging separate transport.

At $1,082 for three nights, private accommodation, the full meal plan, and the spa inclusions above, this works out close to the same nightly rate as the 6-day version at the same resort. The named style list — Hatha, Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Yin, and Kundalini — gives beginners room to sample different approaches across just four sessions rather than committing to one style for the whole stay. Airport transfers are not included, so factor a taxi from Phuket International Airport into the trip separately.
