Take this chance. Mindful Space curated this retreat for anyone who feels drawn to slow down, reconnect, and experience something meaningful in a natural and spiritual setting. Jorgelina, our retreat leader, has been inspired by the abundance of life and virtue that Koh Samui has brought to her life. She has made a retreat designed to uncover the island’s many gifts, from elephant sanctuaries, yoga, and spiritual practices to temples, sightseeing, beaches, and energy healing, all with the purpose of building meaningful connections for oneself.

We welcome everyone, from new yogis to experienced yogis, who want to explore something different gently and without expectation.

Samui Essence is for busy professionals who need a real exhale and space to find clarity and renewed purpose. It’s for people moving through transition, reinvention, or retirement who want to reorient their lives toward meaning, simplicity, and joy. It’s for sensitive, intuitive, or spiritually curious souls who feel connected to the earth, energy awareness, and the wisdom found in nature. It’s for travelers who want more than sightseeing and are seeking genuine connection with the place, culture, the land, and themselves.

All practices are made accessible to everybody. No advanced experience is needed, and everything is offered with options so you can honor how you feel each day.

Facilities

  • Meditation Garden

    Next to our main yoga shala rises an impressive Bodhi Tree, similar that which the Buddha sat under for enlightenment. It is a perfect secluded space for quiet contemplation or personal meditation sessions. We also have a traditional Vedic Fire (yajna) Shala for certain mantra chanting rituals

  • Beachfront Lounge

    Another part of your reason to be here is to chill. This lounge is the perfect spot to do nothing, sit and read, or lay back and listen to music. The ideal space to relax and hang with your partner or take time alone. Its open-air quality lets you enjoy the sea breeze, feel the tropics, with a view of the beach

  • Herbal Steam Room

    Our herbal steam room uses a blend of Thai herbs (Samonpi) to add the therapeutic effect of steaming. It is on every evening, after the sunset, but can also be requested for use during the daytime. Next, to the pool, its two round windows look out to sea. Enjoy your steaming session with dips in either the pool or the sea.

  • Beachfront Swimming Pool

    Our saltwater swimming pool is a stone’s throw from the beach and fully equipped with sun loungers and shaded areas.

  • Main Yoga Shala

    Our centerpiece practice space, designed and built specifically for yoga sessions but also host to meditation sittings, breathwork practice, learning discussions, and video and slide presentations. It is fully equipped with all types of yoga props as well as inversion swings, TRXs and rope harnesses.

  • Cabana Beachfront Shala

    At the beach, next to the pool, exists an extra space for either small sized yoga classes in the morning or private lounging and dining through the rest of the day. A perfect beachside yet shaded personal read or workspace.

  • Beachfront Yoga Shala

    Many of the daily yoga, meditation, breathwork, and core classes happen here, with over 60 square meters of practice space and the sounds of the ocean from just steps away.

  • Beachfront Dining Buffet

    We offer a full buffet experience from breakfast to lunch and over dinner, with a combination of healthy, local and international dishes. The dining area opens to the pool and looks on to the beach, bright and airy, for small or large groups to sit.

  • And so much more....

    Multiple Filtered Drinking Water Facilities

    Water is essential to life. As a retreat center focused on a conscious and conscientious lifestyle, we eschew the sale of plastic bottles and believe in offering our guests the best quality filtered water as part of your experience here. All at no charge. Fill up and hydrate

    Juice & Coffee Bar

    Fresh juices, both veggie and fruit or a combo, fresh young coconuts, gelato and homemade sweet treats add up to enjoying life while feeling good and healthy. So does coffee, when done right. We source organic Hilltribe Coffee from North Thailand. We make and bake everything offered here, all with the best and healthiest ingredients, especially when it comes to oils and sugar

    Sustainable Recycling Center

    Samahita Retreat embodies the quality of a home more so than a commercial resort. We believe in what we do and why emphasizing not just a personal healthy approach but one that cares for the planet. We do our best to compost any leftover food and recycle any other forms of trash, even ones we find washed up on the beach. Join us in clearing your own plate and embracing the green

    Eco-Life Boutique

    We have carefully chosen the items we sell in our shop to fit a sustainable and conscientious approach. Products include our own Samahita Retreat creations such as t-shirts, yoga mats, water bottles and notebooks

Cuisine & Food

We live on, and often for, food. And yet the same food can shorten this life and reduce its quality. There are so many approaches to food and diet, each with its own justifications. At the simplest level, and a principle of Ayurveda and thus yoga, food should be both delicious and nutritious. To keep it natural means all homemade without processed food, local ingredients as much as possible, organic if available, and a well-balanced mix of ingredients. Equally, to keep it healthy in today’s modern food environment means no sugar, no iodized salt, no MSG or related products, and only the use of stable and healthy oils and fats.

  • Your stay at Samahita, on any program or package, includes a complete offering of food across our buffets. Equally, how the food is made and what is in it are vital to your reenergizing of life and how your body gets cleaner, lighter and stronger. We have a team of over 10 Thai cooks and a talented head chef. They make all our food here with care and love. Complimentary morning coffee, tea and bananas are out by 6:45am. The brunch buffet is from 10am until 1pm with breakfast items from 10am and lunch from 11am, and dinner in the evening from 6-8pm. We try to cater for a wide variety of diets, displaying all possible allergens, give raw and vegan options while also catering for those who like to eat fish and dairy. We make fresh juice daily in our own kitchen for the brunch buffet and offer homemade soy milk, coconut milk, cow milk, brown rice milk, and a homemade electrolyte drink. Fully available for both your taste buds and your cells when you stay at Samahita.

  • We normally offer a full complimentary buffet to you during your stay at Samahita. During covid, rather than a full buffet, meals will be served to you to prevent cross-contamination, with additional options spread out across our buffet.
