Harmonious Space
Bringing the mind, body, and spirit into dynamic unison with ourselves and others.
“Join me in Koh Samui, Thailand for a transformative adventure. During a challenging time in my life, my experience in Koh Samui was transformative. I found hope, inspiration, and strength, but most importantly, I discovered a deeper sense of self. I am excited to return to this magical place and cultivate this experience with others. Prepare to bring the Mind, Body, and Spirit into dynamic unison with ourselves and others.”
- Jorgelina Chaij
Join us in Koh Samui, Thailand, to embark on a profound adventure into your space of creativity and consciousness. Our Harmonious Universe retreat is an opportunity to establish a connection to your inner universe. This retreat is intended to encourage you to elevate yourself and establish a connection with life’s source of energy. There are many aspects of life that we feel that we have no control over. However, we each have control over one of the powerful forces in the universe: Ourselves. Uncover the strength you have by connecting with your inner self and finding balance in the world around you.
Begin each day with meditation on the serene, tranquil beach just a few meters from the retreat center. Enjoy delectable, and nutritious homemade meals without processed food in the presence of your retreat companions. Daily yoga and mindfulness practices in the most beautiful shalas.
Then, take advantage of the services offered during your free time, like paddle boarding, massages, steam rooms, and more. Additionally, enrich your mind and your soul by taking advantage of the beautiful culture and experiences that Thailand has to offer. Enjoy the many activities available outside of the retreat facility, such as excursions, dining out, and trips to surrounding temples.

Facilities
The tide moves with the moon on a daily and monthly basis, revealing a wider open beach or deeper swimming waters, highest at the end of the year and lowest in the middle. Your experience here is spread across places of practice and activity, relaxing and dining personal private space or enjoying the company of others in community group spots.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Beachfront Swimming Pool
Our saltwater swimming pool is a stone’s throw from the beach and fully equipped with sun loungers and shaded areas.
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.

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.
