8 Day Yoga & Fitness Retreat, Koh Samui, Thailand

Eight days at Samahita Retreat is the longer sibling to the 4 Day Yoga & Fitness Retreat on the same Koh Samui property: divide each by its included nights and both land close to $178 a night — $1,246 across 7 nights here against $534 across 3 nights on the shorter package. The daily class structure is identical too — meditation and breath work, a dynamic Vinyasa session, a fitness class, and restorative yoga, run every day rather than rotated — with one difference: the shorter retreat adds a daily silent sunrise cycle that this 8-day version does not include.

Both packages cap the group at 4 participants, so the smaller cohort size does not scale up with the extra nights. Buffet meals cover brunch, a snack and dinner, with vegetarian, vegan and organic options, and accommodation is private for all 7 nights.

Facilities include pools, herbal steam rooms and a beach lounge area, available between classes rather than only at fixed times. At all levels, the fixed daily structure — one meditation session, one Vinyasa class, one fitness class, one restorative class — means the practice does not vary style to style the way a retreat built around six or seven yoga disciplines might; anyone wanting Ashtanga or Yin specifically named on the daily schedule will not find it among the included classes here, even though both appear in the wider style list.

Watch out: wellness treatments sit in the exclusions on both the 4-day and 8-day versions — spa time is not part of either package’s base price, and needs booking and paying for separately.

Insider Tip: the flat per-night rate across Samahita’s retreat lengths means choosing between 4 and 8 days comes down to how much time is wanted on-site, not which length offers better value — the daily programme and price per night stay the same either way.

Airport transfers are arranged independently, along with flights, travel insurance, visa fees, and any à la carte dining beyond the included buffet. The 4.67 rating from 246 reviews is a large enough sample to trust, and free cancellation removes some of the risk in booking a week-long stay in advance.
