7 Day EVOLVE Vikasa Yoga & Meditation Retreat, Koh Samui Thailand

Vikasa runs this seven-day program on Koh Samui around twice-daily branded Vikasa yoga classes — Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin, Kundalini, and Zen across the week — with full access to the property’s infinity pool, private beach, and yoga salas built into the room rate rather than sold as add-ons. Accommodation type is flexible: private or shared, whichever the guest books.

Watch out: Meals are billed as “brunch and dinner buffets” rather than three separate breakfast, lunch, and dinner sittings — effectively one combined late-morning meal plus dinner. The Life Cafe’s à la carte menu also costs extra beyond what the buffets cover.

The schedule opens with morning movement and rituals before the first of two daily Vikasa yoga sessions, which rotate through Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin, Kundalini, and Zen styles across the week. Dynamic meditations, pranayama, and dedicated meditation classes run alongside the physical practice, with journaling and partner work built in for processing the experience with other participants. Sound healing and Yin sessions are part of the standard inclusions rather than a paid extra.

Vegetarian, vegan, and organic options are available across the buffet meals. Airport pickup is included, and full facility access — infinity pool, private beach, yoga salas — comes with the room rate at any accommodation tier. Outside the inclusions, flights, travel insurance, and anything ordered from the Life Cafe’s à la carte menu are separate costs. The 4.76/5 rating from 20 reviews is a moderate sample size — enough to gauge consistency without the volume of a program that’s run for years at scale.

The retreat is listed for all levels, and classes are taught in English. Because accommodation can be booked as either private or shared, the total cost against the $2,440 headline price shifts depending on which is chosen — worth confirming directly with Vikasa before paying a deposit, since the frontmatter doesn’t break out the price difference between the two options. No cancellation window is specified beyond “free cancellation offered,” so it’s also worth getting the exact notice period in writing before booking flights.
