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.
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.
Tamarind Springs is a day spa that offers indulging massage treatments amidst the lush, beautiful surroundings that envelops it. The professional therapists are trained in both Eastern and Western techniques such as Thai, deep tissue, foot reflexology and Swedish massage skills.
The availability of a wealth of massage packages do sound very enticing, but that is not all that this lovely place has to offer.
There is also a popular selection of week-long yoga holidays at Tamarind Springs. After a calming and invigorating yoga session, make your way to the Tamarind Spa Cafe, where a myriad of wholesome meals and refreshing snacks await.
Health junkies who are seeking a cleansing detox experience while on vacation, look no further!
The Health Oasis resort offers a variety of healing packages and services, such as meditation, fasting and colon detoxifying programs.
A variety of herbs and supplements, such as spirulina, guarana, oxygen magnesium drinks and vitamin drinks are included in the detox diet.

There is one more 100% vegan place on Koh Samui (in Lamai area, just in 120 meters from Lamai Veggie which is the last one in this listing) — Yoga House & Spa (http://house-yoga.com/en/vegan-cafe). It is inside the yoga studio, just opened (July 2016), is cozy & nicely decorated, offers (mostly) European dishes & desserts from Monday to Saturday (11 AM — 7 PM).
Thank you for sharing about your vegan cafe Dmitry!
Thank you! Such articles are very useful. Would be twice great if you can add some info about Yoga House to your article… ;-) Photos and details are available by the link I've provided (or I can answer any questions you have).
Koh Samui photographers are really amazing photographers. They make the moment memorable for the rest of our life. Recently I attend my friend's marriage party, it was beautifully designed and maintained until the end. Thanks to Magic Day Co. Ltd Wedding planner to make her marriage memorable.
The boudoir was created by isabel and stephane in 2007.
Greenlight Cafe in Fisherman's Village !
Yes :)
Awesome article and such helpful information. Thank you so much for the topics and the content. It helps a lot, after I was hopping around the beaches on Samui. My favorite one was the naturism beach in the north. A small bay, only us and coconut trees. Oh, i really over the place. But now I am back in Canada and saving money for my next trip in 2 months. Last time I passed the chance to do my diving license on Koh Tao. That is what I need to do this year. If somebody has any suggestions, I will be very happy. Unfortunately, on the last day, I had booked a nice boat cruise tour from Samui to Koh Phangan, for a very fair price, and with excellent service. I saw too late, that this brilliant company https://kohsamui.tours offers all tours and activities like diving or jet ski safari around Samui Archipel. I start already to study a bit for my next stay and looking for your next blog posts. Have a good time and thanks for all.
Your Jason S.
Thank you very much for these extraordinary helpful articles, great pictures and advertised tours. Based on your information, we decided to take a guided boat tour through the Koh Samui archipelago. With https://kohsamui.tours we found a very cheap boat tour that we can really recommend. From the pick up to the food and the tour guide everything was sensational. We surprised, that everything was running so smoothly and comfortably. We never expect that Thailand has so much beautiful nature to offer that it is truly incredible. We are looking forward to further articles from you and read with great interest. Best regards and stay healthy.
This makes me miss Samui So much, Thank you for sharing such a great content
