The service is fantastic with very friendly and helpful personell.The Resort is located very close to the beach, a walk of ca 5 min to reach the beach.The Natural Detox Resort is worth every single penny as the Yoga , Meditation, hiking and other activities are conducted by very professional and friendly trainers/teachers.

The bungalow room I stayed in was clean, comfortable and cozy. I will be back again soon ☺️ Many thanks to the incredible Wild Tribe team xread moreread lessJamie Christina Obispo8/04/2025All aspects of this fitness retreat exceeded my expectations. I recommend booking!They have managed to create a community here; I felt so well looked after by every member of the team and i made some good friends meeting fellow like minded people at the retreat.It was great how the instructors balanced the activities to suit all. Some people, like me, were a bit older and looking for help getting back into exercise again, but there were also much younger, more activite people, who pushed harder and went further. Some did extra Thai boxing and less yoga while i did every morning cardio and skipped evening meditation, there is no pressure to do everything.The coaches were so professional, experienced and supportive. Ive lost weight, improved my flexability and confidence training again. I hope to return another holiday!read moreread lessLeah Cunningham7/18/2025I loved my two week stay. The staff as well as the customers from around world make for a fun and enriching retreat. You can push yourself or interact with the tribe as you please. And Leo, Taylor and everyone else is there to make your experience great. I will gladly return. Tomread moreread lessbrickthomas6/26/2025Spending three weeks at Visit Natural Detox was truly one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I don’t even recognise the version of myself from three weeks ago.Initially, I came with the goal of getting physically fit, but after a minor ankle injury a few days in, I quickly realised that the real work I needed to do was internal. That’s where this retreat really shines: the balance of physical and holistic offerings gave me exactly what I didn’t know I was looking for.The breathwork sessions were a standout and quickly became the highlight of my experience. The dynamic Shayla and Maeve had together in this space was something special. Their combined energy brought such a depth to the experience which created such a SAFE space.And speaking of Shayla - where do I even begin? She is an absolute gem. From the moment she performed Reiki on me, it felt like a full factory reset - kick-starting my transformation. I went from feeling like a shell of myself to becoming a sponge, eager to absorb anything that could nourish and support me mentally and physically. Shayla's constant support, encouragement and energy throughout those three weeks helped me fully surrender to the process - and that changed everything. Thank you, Shayla - from the bottom of my heart.The gong bath and meditation sessions Deniz held were another powerful part of the experience. They grounded me in a way I didn’t expect. Beyond his sessions, I even began meditating on my own twice daily and the positive effects have been so hugely noticeable. When my phone broke, (currently still phoneless/traveling abroad) I was shocked at how unbothered I felt. In the past, that would’ve really stressed me out. It was a clear sign of how much this practice has shifted things for me. This is a practice I’ll be taking with me for life.The accommodation, grounds and pool are beautifully maintained. My room was peaceful, had great air conditioning, a spacious bathroom and was cleaned daily with such care by the housekeeping team. The ladies are so sweet - you can tell they take pride in their work and always greet you with a smile...They made every day brighter, and even taught me a bit of Thai daily!The entire Wild Tribe Cafe and Natural Detox Resort reception team are so warm and genuine - they take the time to check in, ask how you’re doing, and make sure you truly feel at home.And the food? Absolutely incredible. I’ll admit, I was a little apprehensive about transitioning to a vegetarian diet for three weeks, but the Wild Tribe Kitchen team made it effortless. Every meal was wholesome, hearty and delicious. I never once craved meat or sugar - my body loved the food and I felt nourished and energised every single day. The kitchen staff are like food fairies - truly amazing, they have a gift!Taylor –Thank you for letting me enjoy the moment. I hardly felt the need to be on my phone knowing you had the photos covered. That peace of mind was such a gift.Leo - Thank you. You’re doing something really special here. I appreciated our chats and your presence - you should be so proud of the space you're holding and the impact you and your team are having on people. This place is changing lives.If you’re thinking about doing this retreat - do it. I’ve formed lifelong friendships through this experience. Visit Natural Detox is so much more than a retreat. It's a family. It’s a reset. It’s a rediscovery. It’s a home away from home.read moreread lessKaitlin Foote6/26/2025GREAT experience!|I visited VNDR for two weeks and it was a great pleasure.|I followed the entire program and lost 6 kg and found new friends. …read moreread lessTPSilkeborg6/26/2025Amazing experience!

I joined for a 3 week all inclusive retreat and had a wonderful stay. Combination of exercise (strength and cardio), yoga (never done it but adapted well and men what a benefit is this to exercising and getting to know your body), but also more holistic experiences (guided breathwork, meditation, gong bath ice bath) few times per week added so much value. Program is well thought of and anyone with a basic fitness level can participate up to his/hers own strength. I lost a few kilos over the weeks but more importantly my core strength en posture changed by the combination of all of the above.Not gonna spoil any future participants by telling in all details about the nice mixed way you exercise. But important to say that staff really caters for a good and safe environment.Group dynamic of participants is great. Up to where you want it you share and enjoy together, but even if you not join everything you go along with the flow and the people.Staying longer I experienced that every week in totally different sort of groups mingling is easy for everybody. Alone about the excellent food you can talk for hours. In three weeks still not able to try all, but quality is super. Staff preparing and serving it is way above average super nice (as are the cleaning ladies keeping the very nice rooms clean). Just outside of Lamai location is perfect near the beach. Next to a road, but no issues for me at night (quiet). Value for money overall is excellent.Really recommend a stay. Reviews and website are clear in what to expect (but in reality it’s even better).read moreread lessDaan H6/13/2025Visit Natural Detox in Koh Samui was one of the best things I’ve done for myself. The fresh, delicious food perfectly supports a full-body detox, and the staff were amazing, warm, friendly, and always remembering my name, which made me feel genuinely cared for.I brought my 68-year-old mother along, and neither of us are particularly fit or active. The retreat is truly welcoming to all ages and fitness levels. The instructors are fit and inspiring, leading classes, hikes, and workouts that challenge even the fittest, but they always encourage you to go at your own pace with no pressure. The 5 km uphill hike was tough but doable, and the support made all the difference.The rooms were spotless and comfortable, with a long table and air conditioning, perfect for working remotely when needed. The pool was pristine clean and refreshing, adding to the peaceful and intentional environment that makes it easy to relax and recharge.Even a one-week stay jumpstarts positive changes, but to fully benefit, I’d recommend two weeks or more. Classes are optional, so there’s flexibility if you need to work or rest.As a digital nomad, I also appreciated the community vibe, rare in this lifestyle, which made my experience even more rewarding.If you’re considering a detox or wellness retreat in Koh Samui, Visit Natural Detox is highly recommended. It’s a heart-centered, well-run retreat that offers real results and a supportive, welcoming atmosphere.read moreread lessphoebe latchu6/13/2025A Wild Month at Visit Natural Detox – Worth Every Minute!Just wrapped up a month at Visit Natural Detox, and what a ride! This place isn’t just about getting healthy – it’s about pushing your limits, finding your edge, and coming out stronger on the other side.My favorite activity was the aqua gym – absolute game changers. It’s a full-body workout that leaves you feeling both exhausted and totally alive.And don’t get me started on the food. I’m officially a curry addict now – each dish was packed with flavor and totally satisfying. They’ve mastered the art of healthy comfort food.I left this place feeling stronger, healthier, and more resilient. My endurance shot up, my mind cleared, and I feel like I hit the reset button on my body.But the real highlight? My first-ever ice bath. It was intense – pure adrenaline, teeth chattering, every nerve on fire – but the rush afterward was unreal. It’s the kind of thing you can’t explain until you try it.Big shoutout to the retreat staff and wild tribe staff as well– they’re the real heroes here. Supportive, energetic, and genuinely invested in making sure you crush your goals.I will surely be returning as I’m leaving fired up and ready for whatever comes next.Monaread moreread lessMoon5/22/2025After attending retreats all over the world - from Spain to Bali - this is hands down my favorite of all time.While it's very difficult to book because it’s so popular, once you do the staff is incredibly organized, friendly, and on top of everything in ways that exceeded expectations.I really enjoyed that Natural Detox takes you on the spiritual inner journey of a yoga retreat, while still helping you externally reach new heights - with weight training classes and exciting adventures, from bike rides to waterfalls.I have spent a lot of time in Samui and thought I had done it all. And yet here I still discovered magical new adventures - temples, hikes - that you won't get anywhere else.This retreat also has absolutely the best tasting and healthiest food of any I have ever been to.What really made the experience for me is how organized and mindful management was down to every detail.From ethical food sourcing to reducing plastic waste, I felt better financially supporting a business that does it's best to be conscious and kind to the planet.It was an extra treat that there was delicious flavored water and tea available for refills, and refreshing to not be adding to my microplastic exposure while trying to get healthy.On my journey of attending dozens of retreats, I have seen my share of people over training, getting injured, or leaning into a disordered food relationship.Very little of that toxic culture existed here which was such a refreshing surprise.I really appreciate that strength classes were focused on acheiving better form rather than pushing beyond our limits risking injury.Furthermore the staff was patient and supportive - allowing us to take our time on hikes and ensuring people could catch up if they got a late start and fell behind. As a result new friendships and a community vibe was able to flourish among guests.It was also an extra perk that they had someone regularly taking photos so I could enjoy the moment and the memory without stressing about pulling out my phone.It is little touches like these that really make it a special week.Thank you Wild Tribe and Natural Detox team!read moreread lessAnnalis C5/08/2025The Visit Natural Detox Resort experience is amazing! The place itself is calm and relaxing and the Programme is perfect if you’re into fitness, nutrition and relaxation. The staff is amazing and they create an awesome community of people striving to grow. The best thing were the hikes every morning and the strength and circuit trainings with Netta that were included in the weekly routine to make you stronger and healthier. The food at the Wild Tribe Café is amazing and all the people working at the resort and cafe are very friendly and accommodating. They provide a great routine consisting of fitness, mindfulness and activities that are fun and engaging. Would definitely do it again!!read moreread lessAlex S5/05/2025A special place. The food was nourishing, clean and delicious, and so varied. The programme was packed, but there was no pressure to miss sessions if you needed rest or opted to explore the local area instead. It's tucked away around a quiet side street, just 5 minutes walk from the beach. If you do stay, try to make as many sessions as you can. The physical activities were accessible for everyone, and the supportive nature of the facilitators and the group created a great environment to try new things. Activities included hikes to gorgeous viewpoints and swimming pools under waterfalls, nutrition education, muay thai, breath work, meditation, and daily yoga. The staff were lovely and accomodating. The resort seemed to draw people with a common interest in self reflection and growth - we made a supportive community, and I left with plans to reunite with new friends. I hope to return - thank you again lovely team 🙂read moreread lessd d5/05/2025What are nice experience!!! Very accessible for all ages, great and diverse activities, the food is not only very healthy but also very tasty and the menu is very diverse, I had a bit of a "Melrose place" feeling where all of the rooms are situated around the pool and we formed a nice little community. And last but not least the staff (truly everybody) is 5 stars!!! They all do their best to make you feel most welcome. We had a wonderful and diverse group and felt like a family by the end of the week.read moreread lessNils Voorhamme5/05/2025
- Just finished 29 day retreat and it was the best thing I’ve ever done on so many levels. I leave feeling stronger physically and braver mentally. It was the most welcoming environment, the food was incredible and I felt totally at home. So much laughter and encouragement from everyone around. The physical challenges brought me such a huge sense of achievement and made me remember how strong I really am inside. Just go, turn up to everything on offer and you will be amazed at what you have inside.

I chose it because I wanted to meet new people and have someone help me explore Koh Samui, since it was my first time visiting. The program delivered on all of that and more!All the staff were so friendly and welcoming. A big shoutout to our amazing facilitators Leo, Netta, and Taylor – they were not only great guides but also created such a positive and supportive environment throughout. Kit and Joe were super helpful with everything from transfers to room queries – nothing was ever too much trouble.One of the most touching moments was when Leo (the General Manager) and the staff surprised me with a birthday cake and song – it was such a beautiful gesture that made me feel so special. The Wild Tribe café onsite is vegan and delicious – definitely worth trying even if you’re not vegan!Special mention to the wonderful cleaners, Poin and Ferry – they kept everything spotless and honestly felt more like friends by the end of the stay. Also, it was awesome having Taylor around to take photos so we could just enjoy the moment.Some of my favourite experiences were the hikes (Hin Lad Waterfall and Overlap Stone were stunning), Muay Thai classes, beach and circuit workouts, and cycling to explore the local temples and sights. The circuit workouts were well adapted for all fitness levels, which I really appreciated.The retreat runs the same program every two weeks – I really enjoyed the structure, but next time I’ll likely go for the 15-day package instead of the full month. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and everything I needed was nearby – laundry services, motorbike rental, and the beach was only a 5-minute walk away.In the last two weeks, I started training at Lamai Muay Thai Gym (right next door!) and loved it – the morning classes and private sessions were such a great addition to my routine.All in all, I met so many great people and had such a fulfilling time.read moreread lessSambo Da Cambo5/05/2025Great retreat!

- They lost my booking due to technical glitch. Put me in a horrendous unsafe room offsite with no wifi , safety box, basic facilities where the noise pollution was so bad I cried myself to sleep. I asked to me moved and they wouldn’t help me find alternative accommodation , or guarantee a full refund, blaming book yoga retreats.

I went with the room and class option which was perfect for me as I wanted to occasionally step out and dine outside when I wanted to.Location: Perfectly located in Lamai area of Koh Samui. Not in the center of the bars but still walking distance and easy to get to the beach and restaurants.Program: Well organized and structured with a variety of activities: low intensity hikes/walks in the AM, followed by a mid morning yoga and evening strength training. Just enough downtime in between to relax by the pool, read a book, work or snooze. Occasional meditation and breath work for the perfect balance.A week is not long enough and I do wish I could have stayed longer. Nonetheless, I did leave feeling lighter and healthier.Will definitely consider coming back in the future!read moreread lessMollica Am1/05/2025Where do I begin?! I had initially booked 3 weeks at Visit Natural, and ended up extending and staying a total of 7 weeks. Spending this period of time working on myself was probably one of the best life choices I’ve made recently, and I couldn’t have picked a better place for it.First and foremost, the staff has been absolutely wonderful - from management and reception to the kitchen and household teams, everyone seems to be genuinely happy in their jobs and committed to providing the best of care and service to guests. I’m very grateful to everyone!Second: the program is very well tailored and all activities and respective trainers/instructors are of high quality. Five highlights that stood out:1. The strength and conditioning classes by Netta made me regain faith in what my body is actually capable of and how it can build strength and resilience even within a short period of time. I had never seen myself as a gym person or weight lifter - these classes positively changed my mind about building strength and “gym culture”.2. The variety of yoga teachers and the high quality of yoga classes. Every teacher brought a different yoga style, personality and yoga philosophy, and the overall quality was really high - with a special mention to Ann and Deniz who both really elevated my practice in different ways.3. One of the strengths of Visit Natural compared to other (fitness) retreats is the inclusion of more introspective activities centered around mindfulness and reflection. I don’t think I would have come as far physically if it weren’t for the workshops on meditation and breathwork.4. For someone struggling with cardio, the morning hikes were a game changer. Walking in nature with other people and already feeling like you achieved something by 9am really makes you feel good about yourself.5. The Muay Thai sessions with Lamai Muay Thai gym next door are great for an introduction to Thailand’s national sport. As I stayed for a longer time, adding more Muay Thai sessions helped me level up in terms of intensity and cardio.Lastly, an honorable mention needs to be made of the food at Wild Tribe café, which was super tasty and very varied. Although I’ve been eating vegan/vegetarian for a while it was a new experience for me to really eat healthier and focus on including more protein in my meals.In short: my stay at Visit Natural helped me develop a healthier relationship with exercise and food, and have a fun time in the process, with many likeminded people from all over the world - some now being great new friends. A big thank you to Leo, Netta, Taylor, Joe, Lander, Kit, Joy, Kay, Pao, Pawn, Veri and all others for making this all possible for me and making the place so special!read moreread lessMarjolijn Hekelaar1/05/2025Amazing experience with a wide variety of activities which should challenge anyone!

- What an experience! I spent 3 wonderful weeks in the Visit Nature Resort. I am leaving feeling stronger mentally, physically and overall a better version of myself.The program is created so you get the perfect combination of fitness and mindfulness. Between the hikes, yoga, strength training, meditation, breath work and more! All instructors are extremely knowledgeable, caring and attentive.The food is absolutely delicious! The portions are great and the flavors incredible. (never thought about going vegetarian for 3 weeks!!)The rooms is comfortable and convenient. Didn’t need more since we spend most of our day out. It is exactly as you see it!Thank you from the bottom of my heart to the incredible team! Leo, Netta, Taylor, Andy and all the Wild Tribe, Maintenance and Housekeeping team.It was an unforgettable journey to which I will forever be grateful ♡Zoéread moreread lessZoé Tudela Alcazar1/05/2025Visit Natural Detox was a great experience. Netta's strength training classes were challenging yet tailored to all levels - I was impressed by her ability to adapt to beginners 🙂 I enjoyed all the classes, including the yoga classes and breathwork sessions. The Muay Thai class was good but the boxing gear is admittedly worn and needs a good wash. Pack good hiking shoes or sneakers with good grip for the morning hikes (and water shoes if visiting during the monsoon season). The resort was clean, safe, and comfortable - thanks to Leo, Netta, Taylor and Joe who took care of us. And the food at Wild Tribe Cafe? Absolutely delicious - I almost forgot it was all vegetarian/vegan!read moreread lessDawn A12/05/2024I was glad to have a really good healthy week here! I wish I'd done more weeks but that's my budget. All the facilitators were kind, helpful and interested in what they do. It's a great combination of classes in yoga, some meditation and breathing practice, cardio classes and hikes or bike rides exploring the area. The accommodation is absolutely fine too.read moreread lessJonathan Fowler12/05/2024The retreat is great. I stayed three weeks, and in my personal opinion was a week too long, because of the extreme heat. In detail: you hike every morning around 6 30 to 7 am, and it can take anywhere from 2 to 4 hours. Definitely get the electrolytes, you really need it. If you don't, which was me, on the buddha hike one day, without enough electrolytes in my water, I started hypeventilating and shivering. But I did drink a bunch when I got back to the resort, and tada, in 15 min, everything subsided. Yoga mid day every day, and strength training in the afternoons. There is also breathwork, meditations, gong sessions etc in the evenings. Muay Thai sessions on a Sat. Watch out of the immense sweat flying!You don't really get hungry because it is so hot. The cafe is fantastic vegan/vegetarian. You recover that much quicker on vegan/vegetarian. I do admit sneaking out midweek for fried chicken or delicious Thai.Lamai Muay Thai Camp is two doors down, with wonderful instructors as well. The pool is amazing, the rooms are comfortable, I stayed in the villa. The beach is a five min walk away, and the resort is on the quieter side of Koh Samui away from all the craziness.I lost 2 kgs at the resort, this is working out 3/4 hours a day 6 days a week, and I wanted to be realistic as not everyone will lose massive amounts of weight. I have lost 3 to 3.5 kgs in total so far, this is almost two months after the retreat. It's a lifestyle change! I find myself slowing down, and finally being able to sleep like a baby. You make life long friends, where you are eating together which is so nice. It's a nice community.I do love the hikes (bring big bottles of water with electrolytes), the yoga and strength training, and personally got most out of the breathwork on Wednesdays. So I guess my only apprehension, is that you are working out in the heat and humidity, when most of us who generally do not. Five stars in my book!read moreread lessSilene Lim12/05/2024It’s a lovely detox fitness retreat. Best food ever. The program is very thoughtfully curated. Hiking, yoga, strength training, Breathwork, massage, the bonding with the cohort is amazing. Would love to go againread moreread lesspragati vaswani12/05/2024It was such a wonderful experience. Loved all the classes, the people, the food, the activities. I wish i booked two weeks instead of 1.Definitely do it again and would highly recommend. Basic but clean and all you need for a comfy stay. Amazing food, helpful and lovely staff. And a diverse cool group of people from all over the world with the same mindset.Perfect combination of cardio, yoga & strength!read moreread lessJeroen Compeer11/05/2024I had a wonderful time of refreshment and rejuvenation during my 4 weeks at VNDR. I had been looking for a place to reset from months of an emotionally stressful situation and to build a healthy routine for my fitness and diet. VNDR did not disappoint!People: Leo, Netta and the staff are both kind and excellent at what they do, and strived to make all guests feel welcome, accommodated and supported. I was very impressed with the place and program, and the culture they've created. The other guests I met were delightful as well, and everyone has in common that they are trying to grow and improve their life in some way. I loved how the activities, especially the daily morning hikes, with the same people every day, naturally foster new friendships with them.Classes were the perfect blend of routine and variety. My favorite class type was the daily strength classes with Netta. Netta is fantastic. She's knowledgeable about fitness exercises and healthy eating, and I appreciated how she gave easy/medium/hard variations for all abilities, so that everyone had an option for something not overly daunting but still challenging for themselves. Also the environment is positive and supportive. The bike rides with Leo were very fun as well.The room was bigger than I expected and entirely adequate. The cafe food was SO amazing - wow!!! I ate there almost every day and every meal. Also the service was outstanding. The cafe staff were always friendly and personable and made me smile. The massages offered on site were too rough and intense for me, so I'm glad I got the room + classes package instead of the all-inclusive one. I personally liked the massages off site much better. The room buildings, cafe and outdoor class shelter were conveniently located and looked nice, clean and welcoming, with nature vibes. I felt spoiled being able to get up from napping or relaxing and walking only a few steps to class.Overall I highly recommend Visit Natural Detox Resort.read moreread lessJamie MacLennan11/05/2024Taking part in this program for a week was one of the best experiences of my life. I loved how mind, body and soul were considered simultaneously. The food at Wild Tribe was just perfection, everything was so fresh and tasty. The yoga and strength instructors were very professional. Thanks for an amazing time. I might come back soon 🙂read moreread lessJenny Tremmel11/05/2024I stayed at Visit Natural Detox for 3 weeks to detox and create healthier habits to carry with me when I leave. I got all of that and made friendships that will last forever.When I left today, I felt like I was leaving family. Everyone from the trainers, massages, to the guests and all the staff are amazing, caring and knew me by name from the first day!I will miss everyone so very much! I will be back! 🥰read moreread lessJulia Breheny11/05/2024
- Had a wonderful two week stay at this retreat in July! The activities, staff and cafe are AMAZING! The rooms are basic but as described and I didn’t need more. It was spacious, comfy and it had AC (which was much needed due to the heat!). The activities (hiking and biking) with Leo and Netta were great and they were accommodating to all different fitness levels. Strength training with Netta was fun and educational, you got to go as hard or easy as you wanted. The yoga, breath work and ice bath was all good as well. Loved the Muay Thai group session so much that I had several 1:1 lessons, super fun to try something new. Oh, and the daily massages…heavenly!I am not vegan or vegetarian so I was worried if I’d be able to go meatless for two weeks since I went with the all-inclusive program but it was not an issue at all because the food is so amazing! In fact, I miss the food of Wild Tribe! I was able to recreate one smoothie, so I have that reminder of my wonderful stay there, as well as all the amazing memories and friends made. If you are considering this retreat, just do it! You won’t regret it!read moreread lessVanessa Chan10/05/2024I came to Visit Natural Detox a couple of weeks ago jaded, sad and feeling very lethargic. From the moment I arrived in my cosy bungalow I knew I was home. I simply cannot praise this place enough. …read moreread lesssusiel9969/05/2024I recently spent a month at Visit Natural and had the most amazing experience. I came here alone with the intention of progressing my fitness and visiting a cool place. I ended up getting much more than that.From the General Manager, Leo to the housekeeping staff, everyone was so pleasant and accommodating. Netta, the personal trainer, was absolutely amazing. All of her classes were catered to every fitness level and she was so knowledgeable in countless ways. I felt challenged yet supported throughout my entire stay.The yoga classes offered a diverse range of styles, from invigorating Vinyasa to restorative Yin, allowing me to find my perfect practice. The breathwork and guided meditation sessions were deeply relaxing and helped me connect with myself on a deeper level.The combination of world-class fitness facilities and the stunning natural surroundings created the perfect environment for personal growth. What truly set Visit Natural apart was the strong sense of community fostered among the guests. It was inspiring to share this journey with like-minded individuals, and I've made lifelong friends.I cannot recommend Visit Natural enough. It's more than just a retreat; it's a life-changing experience. Thank you to the entire team for making my stay so unforgettable.read moreread lessTaylor Lindgren9/05/2024I just simply enjoyed my stay. I love people, atmosphere, activities and food. It's great to escape from big city with the opportunity to relax, enjoy good company, get motivated to exercise and step out of your comfort zone. I am usually a great organisator. I love the fact that here i didn't have to think about anything. There is great plan full activities and it's just up to you how much of this you want to benefit. No rush, no stress. The beautiful nearby beach is just a 5 min walk and of course, every day you can enjoy the massage! OMG! The entire Team of the Resort do their best to make this place special and you can feel it.read moreread lessRene8/05/2024I recently booked myself into VNDR after suffering from burnout.

They have an amazing team, Lander, Leo, Netta and their lovely cafe staff. Special thanks to Leo that he fixed my room issue right away. They have different cardio in the morning, yoga, and fitness session every day, also some breathwork sessions, sounds intense and it is totally your choice whether u like to join or not. Also, you will never have enough of their yummy vegan/vegetarian food. Come join them and you will not regret! I hope to come back one day😍read moreread lessConnie Lai7/05/2024I loved my 4 week long experience at VNDR!! I wasn't sure what to expect with this being my first retreat and visit to Thailand but this experience was phenomenal! I needed to get out of my comfort zone and go all in on a fitness routine. I found that the program schedule was tough but do-able for someone that does not work out every day. And it's totally go at your own pace and you never feel judged for your capabilities. I was thrilled to meet so many people (mostly solo travelers) from all over the globe and you really do bond with people. The staff is exceptional, super friendly and make sure to get to know you and your name - which is super impressive since you can imagine the rotation. And the coaches are absolutely amazing. Netta has a calm, encouraging and supportive demeanor and I'm so thankful for her being there to help me finish a hike or push myself a little more during strength training. I loved Mike's yoga sessions to really stretch out my muscles with a calm & rhythmic flow and Ann has the best smile and approach, really assisting everyone to get the most accurate pose or most out of their stretch. The location is superb where you can have your laundry done across the street, many restaurants to walk to, the beach across the road and lots of places to hike with viewpoints on the island! I made so many great memories and I'm so thankful I did this program!read moreread lessJessica6/05/2024I stayed at Visit Natural Detox Resort for a month and it really changed a lot!

Being an introvert, I was a little nervous about going solo and being thrown into a big group setting but all the staff and fellow resort buddies were all so lovely and welcoming. There is also no pressure to join every single activity, so if you're feeling overwhelmed, you are free to have some "me time" doing whatever you need to do.There are a wide variety of activities on offer, including gentle walks, challenging walks, great gym sessions, yoga, meditation, ice baths and much more. The Wild Tribe Cafe makes the most amazing food, there is a laundrette nearby and the beach is right across the road. Make sure you bring trail shoes with good grip, sunscreen and bug repellent!Everyone comes here for different reasons and I believe everyone leaves a different person - physically, emotionally and spiritually. I am glad I overcame my anxiety about coming and I really want to visit again; I honestly missed it as soon as I got home. It truly is a great place to prioritise your health and wellness; things we tend to neglect when caught up in our busy lives.Big thank you to all the team at the resort, hope to see you again soon. ❤️read moreread lessJenny Phong6/05/2024

Everyone from the staff is amazing.Thank you so much for everything ♥️read moreread lessKonstantina Dimitrova Attanasio3/12/2020We had no idea what we were getting into. Only days before travelling to Thailand we (Swiss couple, 40+) understood that the activities were not meant as simple offers (as, for instance, in a gym) that you can pick from. Instead, the idea is that guests participate in three or four daily sports activities (incl. yoga). We doubted we would like that and then we loved it and fully immersed ourselves in the group of guests who all wanted to do mostly healthy things. Founder Lander (European citizen of the world) is all in and he has surrounded himself with a great team of yoga teachers, personal trainers, cooks (best of vegan food, if you opt for it – we did and miss the Wild Tribe restaurant already), waiters and cleaners. Some Spa services are offered in-house and for the frequent massages most of us went across the street. We experienced Visit Natural Detox Resort and the Wild Tribe restaurant as a healthy and happy place and we loved our one-week stay there. It was a protected environment in which we experienced how working out as much as an athlete, eating vegan and entering a detox program (one of us) can actually go together well. It‘s a great inspiration for taking the best parts of what we have found out about ourselves back to Europe.read moreread lessDave Hertig1/06/2020This hotel is based on the concept of wellness and was started by an entrepreneur who is a physical trainer and health foodie. His personnel are friendly. The restaurant serves all kinds of healthy vegetarian specialties with a touch of the Tropics. Yoga classes are offered there and there is a nice swimming pool and a nice garden. There are two kinds of lodging: small rooms on the second floor, which face, on the one hand, the pool and garden while on the other hand, they also face the road. The bigger rooms only face the pool and garden. The nearby beach is okay and the surrounding area has other hotels, Family Mart, travel agencies, restaurants and the like.read moreread lessHector HUERTA9/20/2019
