- I 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 Foote6/26/2025Amazing experience! The schedule of activities was plentiful and we did some really great hikes! All of the teachers were awesome and were happy to be there! The food was INCREDIBLE and the menu had so many choices. We stayed for 8 days and did not get tired of the menu. I could have eaten there for a month. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this retreat to anyone who wants to spend time in Koh Samui. We will definitely be coming back!read moreread lessLaura Megan Levine6/26/2025I had the most amazing time. Everything was perfect. Hikes/training/classes/ etc were a fantastic balance. I came away feeling stronger, healthier, fitter and more focused to face going back to my normal life. Would definitely do this again in the future.read moreread lessZana Komene6/17/2025A Truly Fabulous Experience!I’m a 68-year-old woman and spent 8 wonderful days at Visit Natural Detox Resort Samui. It was absolutely fabulous! The yoga, Thai boxing, core strengthening, hikes, and aqua aerobics were all amazing—and the instructors were top-notch.The food was out of this world—healthy, fresh, and delicious. The resort was beautifully clean, the swimming pool was gorgeous, and I felt completely welcomed and at home. It was a joyful, energizing, and very happy experience. I left feeling stronger, lighter, and so grateful.Thank you to the whole team for an unforgettable stay!read moreread lessWendy Miller6/13/2025What a great place, great program, but most of all great people running this resort. 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 lessMoon5/22/2025
- After 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 Voorhamme5/05/2025Just 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. Thanks Leo, Netta and Taylor…..a life-changing experience I will never forget xxxread moreread lessKaren Edelman5/05/2025I spent a month at this retreat and had such an incredible experience! 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!

The different types of yoga I was able to try, relaxing by the pool with new friends from all over the world. And actually my first ever ice bath! I feel one week was not long enough, I was gutted to be leaving as week two was a different programme.The staff are wonderful and very knowledgeable.

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.

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 Lim12/05/2024

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.

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 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.

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.

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 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!

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 Phong6/05/2024Everything here was amazing.

read moreread lessPhil B.4/22/2024OMG where do I start??? O.K. let's start with an apology it's taken me so long to leave this review - especially since I was raving about this place from Day 1 and it's now already been a month since I left!!!! I stayed for 29 days & had THE BEST experience! I honestly can't fault this place, so much so that I already rebooked for another month next year!!! Yes, I know there are a gazillion other retreats & locations around the world to try out but when somewhere ticks all the boxes for you, you've just got to come back for more!!! I loved the schedule for starters (& when I say schedule it was all optional - no pressure to join anything you didn't feel like!) but being an early riser anyway, I loved the 7am hike to get the juices flowing! Some of the hikes were more challenging than others & I would say that it certainly helps to have a basic level of fitness BUT what you don't have in week 1 you will certainly have in week 3 & 4 🙂 The 11am yoga session was always the biggest challenge for me as I'm not experienced in yoga and was REALLY inflexible to start with but I felt this was something I really wanted to persevere in as it's so good for the body. I'm still no "yogi" today but feel soooo much more flexible than I did when I started and am now inspired to continue! My favourite session of the day was the Strength Training! I never thought I could look forward to a 5pm gym session every day but Netta made this possible! I loved how she pushed us without pressurizing us & the results to me were amazing! I lost 6kg & 15cm (!!!) off my belly in those 4 weeks 🙂 The daily schedule was then also peppered with Breathwork sessions, ice-baths, meditation and more, all still leaving plenty of time to check out the beach, chill by the pool or just snooze in your air-con room...... And finally, the food!!!! OMG the FOOD!!!! The menu is INSANE! I'm not even a vegetarian yet I absolutely LOVED the mainly vegan menu! How can all these dishes taste so good??? In fact the food there was our main topic at the long shared tables in the cafe at every mealtime. "Ooooh, what are you having?" to "Ooooh can I have a taste?" to "Quesadillas again please?" were commonly heard questions 🙂 The friendships we all made during our time here were not JUST based on the amazing food but I'm sure no-one left without the memory of that being their favourite topic 😉 And apart from the wonderful people I met during my 4 weeks - mostly women traveling solo & every individual with their own story - I have to end on the most precious aspect of this resort - the STAFF!!!! Oh my, such beautiful people, from the amazing cafe-staff who remember your name from Day 1 and ALWAYS greet you with a smile, to the friendly room-cleaning team that also ensure your drinking water is topped up to the superb management team looking after your every need! Leo, Netta, Joe, Lander, Kit, Pao, Enjoy, everyone else in the kitchen & also your drivers - I am absolutely in awe of what you have created & CANNOT wait to come back next year!!!!!

read moreread lessKim M.4/16/2024Da ich ein Reset von meinem ungesunden und stressigen Manager Alltag wollte, bin ich für 2 Wochen hierher gekommen. Ich war zum 1. Mal in meinem Leben in einem Retreat, hatte noch keine Detox oder Yoga Erfahrung. Ich habe seit 5 Jahren keinen Sport gemacht, bin über 40 und stark übergewichtig. Ich bin kein Vegetarier und zum 1. Mal in Thailand. Ich hatte etwas schlichtes ohne Pseudo Elitären Touch und in Meeresnähe gesucht. Wie fast alle Gäste bin ich alleine gekommen und wollte das hier einfach mal ausprobieren, in der Hoffnung dass es mir hilft. Und ich wurde positiv überrascht: das Wochenprogramm ist sehr ausgewogen und wird beim Willkommens Meeting erklärt. Die Trainerin Netta macht mit ihren Workouts einen tollen Job. Auch die Yoga, Qi Gong, Atemtechnik und Eisbad Trainer sind alle einfühlsam und super mit den Erklärungen. Das Programm mit den Ausflügen am Morgen ist ein intensiver Start in den Tag. Alles ist freiwillig, man wird zu nichts gezwungen. So machte es mir noch mehr Freude. Die Gäste aus vielen verschiedenen Ländern sind ebenfalls sehr angenehm, von Anfang 20 bis 70 Jahre und verschiedene Fitness Level. Jeder hat einen tieferen Grund für die Reise hierher, ob Körper und/ oder Seele. Also keine mühsamen und lauten Party Rüpel, alle sind rücksichtsvoll und respektvoll. Es gibt eine Chatgruppe und Fotoportal zum Austausch während des Aufenthalts, eine schöne Idee für ein nettes Miteinander. Ich hatte Zimmer Nummer 3, eines der ruhigsten Zimmer hier. Die Ausstattung ist sehr schlicht, aber sauber. Das Bad ist etwas veraltet. Die Matratzen waren perfekt für mein Gewicht, ich bekam keine Rückenschmerzen. Die Klimaanlage ist ziemlich neu. Die Retreat Anlage mit Pool ist klein und gepflegt, mit nur wenigen Mängeln. Der General Manager Leo sorgt aber mit seinem Team nach und nach für Verbesserungen. Das Essen im zum Retreat gehörenden vegetarischen Restaurant Wild Tribe ist vielfältig und sehr gut zubereitet. Ich hatte kein All inclusive gebucht, habe aber meist hier gegessen. Lokale mit Fisch und Fleisch gibt es aber ebenfalls einige Gute am Strand in der Nähe. Das Personal ist durchgehend freundlich und hilfsbereit, hat immer ein Lächeln auf den Lippen. Meine täglichen Massagen im Retreat und gegenüber bei Wawa waren sehr gut, der Masseur hier hat Kraft und wendet bei Bedarf Techniken wie ein Osteophat an. Meine Hoffnung wurde also erfüllt: Detox und Restart für Körper und Seele. Ich habe viel neues gelernt und erfahren. Für mich ein idealer Start in ein gesünderes Leben. Ich werde wieder kommen. Danke an das gesamte Team!read moreread lessFreude am Fahren3/03/2024 - Love love love what Lander, Leo, Netta and everyone else are creating here.

While researching a fitness health retreat i could do i my own i stumbled on this and from all the photo's, video's and reviews i read my experience was amazing and am so happy and proud i did it!. The balance of outdoor fitness activities, yoga styles, weight training sessions, the amazing food and ambiance and community there made me feel 100% safe, free, independent and strong. What a great formula with time to socialise, be on your own, venture off, be active and explore and of course be challenged physically. The staff at the cafe and resort and all the fitness team and trainers were so friendly and accommodating. Really knowledgeable. Probably my own suggestion is that rooms are in need of some updating but i went knowing what to expect. I loved it, came home so happy and in peace. I am now thinking of when i can come back! Thank you for being part of my experience there...xoxread moreread lessNathalie Dupavillon2/08/2024I (48m/office worker/not fit) started 2024 here for 15 days travelling solo. Sorry this is long - but yeah, there’s a lot to say. Without question, the best break away I’ve ever had. Where to start…? From the beginning I suppose. I arrived and met the always amazing staff and the new retreaters and we cautiously settled in to this new temporary life of health and activity. The weeks schedule was WhatsApp shared by Netta and then onshared around the world. “Wow” my friends and family expressed. “That’s full on”. Well I’m not here for beer and bed. After days 1&2 and 6 fitness sessions in, my body ached. I filled up with dinner, had a swim in the lovely pool, and retired to the cool sanctuary that was my room. Day 3, 7am bike ride awaits. Days 3-6 the ache transitioned to more an awareness of muscular use, my mind and stomach were cleared of crap, I was sleeping like a baby. By now friendships were forming and an alliance of “we are through the hardest part, let’s do this” existed. Day 7 tested that view as Muay Thai training realised a new level of cardio discomfort but later that day we met Diego and his breathwork and ice bath. I am fortunate to have been part of an experience like that. Fear and nerves turned to pride and completion. And all throughout the daily yoga and then Netta’s late afternoon work outs. Week 2 started with new tribe mates arriving as we farewelled others. The veterans enjoyed watching the newbies day 1-3 muscle awakenings, as new friendships formed, new activities occurred and suddenly the second week ended, with another experience with Diego and hugs to say good bye to all. This place has it all. It’s away from the hustle but close enough to a 7-11 and other necessities, the staff are world class and make the experience what it is, the facilities are clean and everything works. And then if you want a beach for swim or a sun rise in tranquility - that’s 90 seconds away. I enjoyed the spread of ages of guests. Single. Couples. Younger and less young. I enjoyed the busy (optional) schedule as much as I enjoyed my mind calming, my sleep returning and my body thanking me. Thanks everyone, Michael. Rooms: Big, spacious and had everything I needed. The air conditioning was excellent. They were well cleaned daily. They aren’t 5 star and for that price and why I was there I didn’t want 5 star. But as an escape from the heat and to rest my weary body - perfect. Noteworthy details: Wild Tribe Cafe on site. It’s a $1 or two more expensive than the town and I did venture out to try town food and save a dollar, once or twice. It’s not worth the $1 saving. Wild Tribe is a friendly atmosphere, large or small tables to sit with retreaters or other passers by or read a book by yourself. Staff who seem genuinely happy and once they learn your name, greet you personally and happily every time. And the food - blows my mind - and my tummy.read moreread lessM C2/08/2024I spent my Christmas and New Year holidays in Visit Natural Detox Resort and had the best time ever. Location: The resort is a few minutes away from Lamai Beach, but it’s away from the touristy and bustling area. It’s in a quiet location but still connected to the village. So, we are not being isolated and can still go to places easily. There are laundry, café, and restaurants close by as well. Room: The bungalow by the pool is spacious and very well thought out. It’s simple yet has everything you need. The bed is big and comfortable. There are suitable spaces in the room for me to hang clothes. The water in the shower is always hot, and the water pressure is excellent. The AC could be a little strong, but I managed to adjust it. I had a very nice stay in this room for 7 nights. Pool: It’s a small pool, but it’s good enough for leisure swimming and lounging. I also love that I could step out of the room, and the pool is already there. It’s also a great place for the yoga retreat group to socialize and hang out. Café: I love the food in the Wild Tribe Café. There are a lot of options for vegan or healthy food. Perfect for a detox. The staff in the café are all very friendly and smiley, and they remember everyone’s name. Yoga retreat program: This retreat program is “action-packed,” and I am surprised that I did it all! The variety of activities keeps my curiosity going, and I love every bit of it. I also had the chance to do things I had never done before, such as Muay Thai, breathwork, meditation, and ice bath. Leo and Netta were always cheerful and encouraging and explained the event well, which made the program successful. The yoga teachers are all very knowledgeable, and the flow is quite good. Love it. The retreat program also made it easy to make friends and bond. I definitely will stay in touch with the people I am friends with during the program!read moreread lessSophia Chu2/08/2024I stayed for 3 weeks and loved everyday! I was travelling on my own and wanted a place to feel safe and be active. I was exposed to many new experiences such as mediation, breathing exercises and boxing. I was encouraged to go biking after having a fear lasting 30 years! The staff were amazing (Joe, Pao, Mod Pum - and soooo many others:) Leo was an incredible presence - Neeta was super encouraging. If you are interested in boxing work with Chit an accomplished boxer who comes to the resort - which is very clean. The rooms are very basic, clean and have the essentials.

read moreread lessAngela C.8/13/2023I was looking for a holiday I could go to on my own, although in the end a friend came with me. This is the perfect singles holiday as there are so many group activities, you are constantly with other people and in the breaks there’s often not enough time to go anywhere so you hang out with the group and make friends. We often ate together with small groups elsewhere in the evenings too. Equally, you’re free to do your own thing. None of the activities are too hard if you are of a reasonable level of fitness but together three exercise sessions a day is a good all round workout. I most enjoyed the walks but was pleasantly surprised by the variety and quality of the yoga. I doubt I lost much weight in a week but I have come away inspired to live more healthily so that is a win! Location wise the resort is just off the main strip of Lamai Beach, a busy but not too smart part of Ko Samui. It’s a short walk through a nearby resort to the beach or a slightly longer walk via the public path. There are massage parlours, nail bars, tourist boutiques, laundries and all the things tourists want nearby. There are also many other cafes and bars nearby for when you want to try some different food (although the breakfasts in particular at Wild Tribe cafe are sensational). Noting this is a two star resort, the room is a good size, the bed is both good and big and it is quiet! Luxury this is not but it is good value. In summary, recommended if you want to kick start a healthy lifestyle or just not come away from a holiday fatter than when you started. Perfect for singles and if you like a schedule and keeping busy on holiday, this is for you.read moreread lessJosephine D8/04/2023I was looking for a holiday I could go to on my own, although in the end a friend came with me.

In summary, recommended if you want to kick start a healthy lifestyle or just not come away from a holiday fatter than when you started. Perfect for singles and if you like a schedule and keeping busy on holiday, this is for you.
read moreread lessJosephine D.8/04/2023I came here on a 10 day yoga and fitness retreat with my mum and aunty. We are all different ages and abilities however we all had amazing individual experiences. All the staff were lovely and helpful with any request we had, including the girls in the restaurant, Eric and Joe on reception, all of the yoga teachers, Leo and Lander the owner who accompanied us on our morning waterfall hike. We have done several retreats, many in Thailand but also all over the world and this was one of the best in terms of value for money, staff, definitely the food (5 star) and the amount and type of activities included in the package as well as daily massages and sunrise meditation. The days were jam-packed but you still felt so energised by the next morning. The food is healthy and detoxing but tasty and fresh and after ten days left us feeling great inside out. The quality of the yoga classes was excellent. I personally prefer faster paced classes and they put on a more advanced vinyasa flow yoga session during the week but I even found the ying and chakra yoga so beneficial for my body and mind. The retreat really has a community vibe which made it more enjoyable. We also did an excellent one hour breathwork session with Diego which was followed by a 3 minute ice bath and was a completely different experience from anything we have done. This was one of the highlights of our trip which pushed us out of our comfort zones. The retreat is in a great location close to the town and close to Lamai beach which was lovely and we swam in the warm sea every day. My only tips would be to have more of a focus on meditation sessions and the spiritual side of the retreat, a sound healing session would be nice and maybe a little more in the rooms e.g. more hangers and the bathrooms upgraded as they felt a little dated but the rooms were well-kept, simple and clean. Overall it was an amazing experience away from the craziness of London that we were seeking and it did not disappoint.read moreread lessAlicia4/13/2023I came here on a 10 day yoga and fitness retreat with my mum and aunty.

read moreread lessAlicia4/13/2023Just back from an amazing 15 day Detox Retreat. Wished I could have stayed so much longer. I felt the warm, friendly & welcoming vibe the moment I arrived at check in and was handed a fresh, delicious coconut juice..the small things make all the difference! The on site Management Team (Leo & Netta) and all the staff are all very knowledgeable and always willing to go that extra mile..they see you as an individual with in the group here. There is never a pressure to do anything you don't want to, you can go at your own pace, doing as much or as little as you want in any given moment. All shapes, sizes and levels of fitness are equally seen & made so welcome. I joined in most activities most of the time but I also recognised that going from exercising a moderate 3-4 times per week to 3 times per day was a massive jump so I opted in and out in ways that made me feel personally stretched but balanced. The Team encourage you to honour your own body and journey! This is not about egos more about Self Love, appropriate fitness, health and well being in ways that work for you regardless of what everyone else is achieving or doing. If you're sitting on the fence, I'd strongly recommend anyone to go for it, you'll absolutely love it! At the very least just go for the food which is just amazing but mostly gift yourself a beautiful Self Love experience, make lifetime friends of all nationalities and have fun in the sun. Just Do IT!read moreread lessJackie G3/29/2023Just back from an amazing 15 day Detox Retreat. Wished I could have stayed so much longer.

read moreread lessJackie G.3/29/2023 - I had a wonderful stay at Visit Natural Detox. From the first contact with the staff via email they were friendly, professional, and swift to respond. They arranged a taxi transfer for me from the airport that went absolutely smoothly. I booked the room and classes package and had most of my meals at the Wild Tribe Café, which serves amazing food and has the most wonderful, friendly staff. The staff at the resort - Leo, Netta, Eric, Lander, Ive - were very attentive to any question or issue I had, and dealt with them quickly and efficiently. They were also such nice people! The accommodation itself is very simple and no-frills, but comfortable. The classes were amazing - the 7 am activities (different each day), the wonderful yoga classes at 11, and the strength and conditioning classes with Netta in the afternoon. There was lots of personal, hands-on attention for each participant, which was fabulous. All those great things aside, the best thing for me was the wonderful company ... the group of strangers who came together at the retreat bonded really quickly, and the great thing about having the café on site is that you could always head down there and there would be someone to sit with and chat. We'd have long, interesting conversations, and lots of laughter. I'd recommend this experience to anyone, and am already planning my return.read moreread lessSmartypants1013/05/2023

If you go alone they don't leave you alone they make sure you know who the other people are in the groups. The walks are amazing but they are trying, however you can do it and when you reach the final point it's so worth it.

Thankfully, it’s not a high pressure bootcamp, but a nurturing environment promoting healthy food and a professional, personal approach to fitness, respecting individual goals and abilities. Lander has assembled an awesome, personable team throughout the resort from reception, yoga instructors, personal trainer, spa and massage, maintenance, housekeeping and the wonderful Wild Tribe superfood café staff. All project positive healthy vibes which resonate with clients who often form long lasting bonds. It’s a happy, healthy place where you can return every year-my second time but not the last!

read moreread lessCarole C.1/08/2023I TRULY LOVE staying and visiting here! I have experienced both the full detox and exercise package and just room only. I will always be a repeat client for both! Lander and his team of staff and instructors always manage to have and maintain a fabulous friendly almost family atmosphere. Your rooms are more than fair for what you need and in this price bracket. Their website is very clear and true to what the facilities are and their Wild Tride Cafe food is... simply magical! The hotel is well placed with laundry services opposite and a beach just around the corner and in house as well as local massage buinesses for well-being OR muscle relief after the wonderful exercise offerings. This is not a 5 star resort but let us be honest... it does and has everything you could need WITH an atmosphere you can not buy in much more expensive resorts. If you need a break from lots of technology, the stress of life or a real life health kick, this is the place to go.read moreread lessMoo O11/14/2022I TRULY LOVE staying and visiting here!
