Absolute Sanctuary in detail

Hotel

Family-run boutique resort Absolute Sanctuary is set in a peaceful location in the north-east of Koh Samui, offering a haven for renewal, balance and holistic wellbeing. Specialising in detox, yoga, fitness and healthy eating, the resort offers beautiful sea views, an excellent spa, a saltwater pool and daily classes to nurture body and mind. The rooms, designed in a Mediterranean style, offer comfort and relaxation. The resort’s restaurant serves healthy, freshly prepared food, including vegan and detox options. Chaweng and Choeng Mon beaches are around a 10-minute drive away.

Location & Surroundings

Absolute Sanctuary is set in the peaceful north-east of Koh Samui, nestled among green hills overlooking the sea – away from the bustle yet still centrally located. The international airport is around 10 minutes away. The popular Chaweng beaches, with their many shops and nightlife options, and the peaceful sandy beach at Choeng Mon are also only around a 10-minute drive away.

Food & Drink

Guests can enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner at The Love Kitchen, which has a welcoming terrace. The fresh, light and healthy dishes – whether detox, vegetarian, seafood or meat – are full of flavour and made largely with local and organic ingredients.

Inspired by the renowned Absolute Fit Food nutrition concept in Bangkok, the kitchen team combines innovative cooking methods with carefully selected superfoods and whole foods. The result is a range of nutrient-rich dishes that are both delicious and nourishing. The Love Kitchen serves calorie-conscious, nutrient-rich dishes carefully tailored to guests’ wellbeing. Superfoods and wholesome, natural ingredients are used, with no chemical additives, refined sugar or trans fats. Carefully selected organic produce from local farms is complemented by high-quality imported ingredients. Guests booking a wellness package follow a special wellness cuisine menu. The hotel also has a juice bar.

In keeping with the hotel’s wellness concept, alcohol is not permitted anywhere on the resort grounds.

Wellness & Spa

Absolute Sanctuary offers a comprehensive wellness and spa programme designed to bring body and mind into balance. Absolute Spa has 13 treatment rooms – seven indoors and six outdoors – offering traditional Thai massages, aromatherapy, facial yoga and specialised detox treatments. Of particular note are the four rooms dedicated to colon hydrotherapy, which forms part of the professional detox programmes. These programmes combine individually tailored nutrition with daily treatments such as colon hydrotherapy or manual lymphatic drainage to support lasting recovery and detoxification.

Fitness & Sports

Active guests can make use of a modern fitness studio with a wide range of training facilities. Alongside classic cardio and strength-training equipment, the resort has a modern Group Reformer Studio with twenty high-quality Merrithew™ SPX reformers, as well as a fully equipped private Pilates studio with equipment such as a Cadillac, Chair and Barrel. Absolute Yoga Center offers up to 14 classes a week, some at an additional charge, including Hatha, Flow, hot yoga, Pranayama and meditation. Sessions take place in two studios: a heated indoor studio and an open-air yoga shala in the garden, with beautiful sea views. The programme is suitable for beginners and experienced yogis alike.

Pool area

The 20-metre saltwater pool is ideal for swimming and relaxing. Surrounded by a spacious sun terrace, it is a lovely place to sunbathe and unwind. The peaceful setting, with views over the greenery, creates a harmonious atmosphere—perfect for recharging after yoga or spa treatments.

My holiday was wonderfully relaxing. The programmes and massages were brilliant. What I liked best was the staff, the food and how smoothly the treatments and programmes ran. My stress levels really came right down. It was lovely and I’d happily come back.

Lovely hotel with good treatments

January 2018

Travelling alone | 30–39 | 4–8 days

The hotel is lovely overall, with a clear layout and a large pool at its centre. There is a wide choice of treatments, which were all very professional, and the staff took my specific needs into account. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout, particularly at the wellness reception. There is a good choice of different types of yoga classes, and the Pilates reformer classes are also highly recommended. However, you have to pay for the classes if they are not included in your holiday package. Unfortunately, there are no other group fitness classes either. The Superior rooms are very clean, with a flat-screen TV and DVD player, but are otherwise fairly simply furnished and a little noisy. Unfortunately, there were no mosquito nets on the balcony door either, so it was impossible to let fresh air into the room. And personally, I found the beds too hard, so I went home with back pain at the end of my holiday. What I really liked was that you could have some peace and quiet if you wanted, but it was also fairly easy to meet people – especially at the Juice Bar.

It was wonderful!

I had a wonderful time at Absolute Sanctuary on Koh Samui. The yoga classes were varied and really well taught, and the massages were the best I’ve ever had. The food was also delicious. Little touches, like asking about my favourite scent beforehand and then leaving it in my room every day, made the holiday complete.
