Absolute Sanctuary’s eight-day package is priced and built like a full-service spa holiday with yoga folded in, rather than a yoga retreat with spa add-ons. The inclusions list runs to nineteen line items, from an initial Bio Impedance Analysis consultation through two 90-minute Thai stretch massages, a colon hydrotherapy session, facial yoga, and two private one-on-one yoga sessions alongside unlimited group classes. At $2,993, it’s the most expensive retreat covered on this site by a wide margin, and the itemized inclusions explain most of the gap.

- Duration: 8 days / 7 nights
- Level: Beginner

- Included: Roundtrip airport transfers, all meals plus 2 daily fresh juices/smoothies, unlimited group yoga/meditation/fitness classes, 2 private yoga sessions, a named list of spa treatments (deep calm and Thai stretch massage, facial yoga, colon hydrotherapy, infrared sauna, herbal steam), 10% discount on further spa/detox treatments, pool/steam room/fitness studio access
- Not included: Extra activities beyond the itinerary, additional treatments beyond those listed, visa fee
- Cancellation: Free up to 45 days before arrival
Style is listed as Restorative only, and the level is set to beginner — this isn’t built for anyone chasing an advanced Ashtanga or Vinyasa programme. The yoga component is intentionally gentle, positioned as one part of a broader wellness stay rather than the main event. Koh Samui is the base, with the airport transfer already covered both ways — one of the usual retreat exclusions removed from the budget here.
Insider Tip: the 10% discount on additional spa, detox, and à la carte treatments only pays off if extra sessions get booked beyond what’s already included. With two massages, a facial yoga treatment, and colon hydrotherapy already in the package, there’s a real risk of spa fatigue before the discount becomes worth using.
Watch out: at $2,993 for seven nights, this is priced well above the other Koh Samui options covered on this site — 4 Day Yoga & Fitness Retreat starts near $534 and 6 Day Total Self-Care Retreat near $1,160. The price gap needs weighing against the extensive named spa list rather than assumed to reflect a stronger yoga programme — the style roster here is narrower, Restorative only, versus Samahita’s five-style rotation.
Free cancellation extends to 45 days out, the longest window among the retreats covered on this site, leaving more room to commit early without losing flexibility.
