How do I get to The Sanctuary?
We’ve made it easy for you to get to The Sanctuary, checkout the directions below:
Can I book accommodations in advance?
You can book many of our houses and bungalows in advance, particularly our higher end options.
All of our cheaper accommodation, including our dormitory beds, are non-bookable.
Children at The Sanctuary?
Most people at The Sanctuary Thailand retreat are adults who come here to relax and unwind or are on a personal healing/health/wellness program. We try to create an environment that is peaceful and chilled for all & while, we try to cater for all, we are an adults orientated resort.
Many of us do have children and while they are welcomed here we simply need the parents to be aware of the peace of our other guests and to take appropriate action if their children are disturbing the ambience of the environment they are in: – the communal areas, restaurant, therapy areas, Wellness Centre etc.
Babies and very young kids can easily ‘pop the bubble’ of peace for our other guests who have come specifically for detox and relaxation; while there are probably many other locations more suitable for young families.
We feel that night time is time for adults in the restaurant and prefer children not around the bar after dark when others are socially talking and drinking.
We ask that you please be aware of others that do not have children and keep your children under parental control.
It should also be noted that we do not offer any special child-support, baby sitting , children’s menus, services or facilities. It should also be considered that we are located in an extremely rustic jungle setting. The weather can overly be hot and humid for babies especially. At certain times of the year there can be mosquito-born disease on the Island, as well as other jungle bugs.
The terrain is wild in areas of the resort; where even adults quite occasionally are injured when not taking care of steps, paths and other jungle hazards. Medical Facilities are not near by and transportation in and out, especially at night, is very difficult and often only by boat.
Our air conditioned Sanctuary Gardens rooms offer more child-friendly accommodation, in a flat garden area.
Thanks for taking the time to read our thoughts and for your understanding.
Taxi boats and getting around
Most folk coming to the Sanctuary and Haad Tien bay tend to stay on the bay. While ‘day trips’ are possible it’s not necessarily easy depending on time of year – it means getting taxi transport off the bay and then organizing transport on the other side of the island. One then has to organize transport back to the Sanctuary.
There is a taxi boat service from Haad Rin to Haad Tien (The Sanctuary) as well as taxi boat and truck service out of Haad Tien. This service is provided by local Thai families who set their own terms & conditions.
Travel and Safety
We strongly recommend Travel Insurance when travelling.
The Sanctuary, given its location, accepts no responsibility for any accidents / injuries or property damage.
Electricity and Wi-Fi
We have 24-hour electricity and all rooms have several plug sockets (you will need to bring an adaptor with you for international appliances and should also check the voltage compatibility)
WiFi is available throughout the Sanctuary.
Do you offer Airport Transfers?
We do not offer any transport services.
However we can arrange a Private Speedboat to or from the airport for you at 7,500 THB one way.
The driver can collect you from Koh Samui airport, take you to the boat and bring you directly to The Sanctuary. We can also arrange a return journey when leaving The Sanctuary.
For safety purposes, the driver will not operate after dark.
Please book at least one week prior to your arrival with us via Reservations (holidayasiabookings@gmail.com) and at least one day prior to your departure from The Sanctuary with Reception.
What is the weather like throughout the year?
Our High Season is mid-December to mid-April and during this period sometimes the waves can be high
- December through to January the weather can be somewhat erratic.
- February and March we usually have great weather.
- April and May are very hot.
- June is one of our quietest periods and still hot, though a little more forgiving. During these months the sea is very calm and flat.
- Mid-July to the end of August is another busy season, with great weather and calm seas.
- September and October are quiet months, also with probably the nicest temperature, weather and calm seas.
- November is monsoon: now the waves pick up again and it’s the rainy season. This can mean sunny days & intermittent showers to occasional deluges.
Every season has its own pleasures, come and discover!
