Bo Phut: A Beautiful Retreat

Travellers, it’s time to relax and unwind at beautiful Bo Phut!

Mention Bo Phut, and almost immediately, Bo Phut Beach, with its turquoise waters and fine, white sand comes to mind. The Bo Phut beach is located between the Maenam Beach and Bangrak Beach, along the northern coast of Thailand.

The beach is one part that makes up Bo Phut. The other part is the Fisherman’s Village, a quaint and well-preserved village situated in the middle of the beach. Traditional wooden shophouses line along the streets, located alongside a few odd modern buildings. Containing a mix of old and new, this village, which was once the main French outpost on the island, retains much of its Mediterranean vibe.

Spa Treatments: Relax and Unwind

Travellers seeking a respite from the hustle and bustle of a hectic city life will be pleased to know that there are a growing number of spa and yoga facilities in Bo Phut.

Samahita Retreat

The Samahita Retreat (formerly known as Yoga Thailand) was founded by Paul Dallaghan and Jutima Chombhubutr in 2003. Sitting along a peaceful and serene stretch along the beach, this retreat center is well situated away from the crowded tourist areas.

Samahita Retreat offers an array of wellness options. One can opt for a detox or health package, indulge in a pampering massage treatment, or sign up for a de-stress programs to soothe your frazzled nerves. If none of these options is quite your cup of tea, you are free to reside in the accommodations available in the retreat, and to while away your time in a leisurely manner during your holiday.
