EXCELLENT Based on 456 reviews Posted on Elizabeth HuegliTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been home 2 days still riding the good vibes I got from the sanctuary. The sea meets the jungle. Love being in nature hearing song birds in the morning, gentle rain at night. All the sounds of the jungle. Truly a beautiful transforming experience. I was all in from the beginning and was not disappointed. Nina and Hailey are gifted healers. All the woman at the Tea Temple are exceptional at there craft. The Thai people are the happiest of any culture I know. I will definitely return. ♥️♥️♥️Posted on Gregory AxtonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This place is truly magical. It's very calm and peaceful and provides a perfect island vibe. Its unique beauty is different from other beaches around. But be aware of insects, though. Otherwise, the service is very good and the food is amazing. Enjoy your moment!Posted on Peter KempTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Sanctuary is a special place, I only just left and I’m missing it already. It’s so calm & peaceful, nestled in its own little bay, and the staff are all friendly and welcoming. Waa is such a great yoga teacher, I enjoyed her classes so much. Nina is an amazing too, she brings joy to the yoga studio in a way no-one else does. Hope I can get back there soon.Posted on Madeleine JosephTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. There are places that mark us, and then there are places that remake us entirely. The Sanctuary is the latter—a hidden corner of Thailand that has quietly reshaped my understanding of what it means to be alive for over two decades. You don’t simply arrive at The Sanctuary; you surrender to it. The boat journey to Haad Tien Bay becomes a gentle unwinding, each wave carrying you further from who you were when you left shore. When you step onto that pristine beach, something inside you exhales—perhaps for the first time in months. I’ve watched this place evolve over twenty years, seen new faces become old friends, witnessed the careful dance between development and preservation. What strikes me most is how The Sanctuary has grown without losing its soul—like watching a beloved friend mature while keeping their essential spark intact. The accommodation defies every convention of luxury travel. Forget marble bathrooms and thread counts. Here, your shower is beneath stars, your bedroom walls are living stone that has stood for millennia. The geckos darting across your ceiling aren’t intruders—they’re housemates, reminders that you’re living within something larger than yourself. But perhaps the most transformative element isn’t the setting—it’s the people. The Sanctuary attracts souls in transition, hearts seeking something they can’t quite name. I’ve shared sunset conversations with artists rediscovering their voice, watched burned-out executives remember how to breathe, seen couples fall in love all over again. This trip, I brought my nine-year-old son Archie, and watching him embrace this magical chaos reminded me why I keep returning. Children understand what adults forget—that paradise isn’t perfection, but authentic connection. The food isn’t just nourishment; it’s daily celebration. Each beachfront meal becomes a ceremony of gratitude, flavors so vibrant they contain sunshine’s essence. Conversations flow like tides, strangers becoming confidants over shared plates. What The Sanctuary offers isn’t polished wellness—it’s something rawer, more honest. Yoga sessions happen as the sun paints impossible colors across the sky. Meditation workshops don’t promise quick fixes but something more valuable: permission to simply be. The healing programs understand that transformation isn’t about returning to who you were, but discovering who you’re meant to become. True luxury isn’t what’s done for you, but what you discover about yourself. The Sanctuary provides the canvas; you create the masterpiece. Some guests plan two-week retreats and find themselves still there three months later, having found exactly what their souls were seeking. Twenty years on, I still feel that familiar flutter as the boat rounds the bay. The Sanctuary isn’t just a destination—it’s homecoming to a version of yourself you’d forgotten existed. Where the world’s noise fades to whispers, time moves differently, and ordinary moments become extraordinary simply because you’re present enough to notice them. This isn’t for those seeking conventional luxury or party thrills. The Sanctuary is for hearts ready to be surprised, souls brave enough to remember what peace feels like. For anyone suspecting the life they’re living might not be the life they’re meant for. Some places visit you as much as you visit them. The Sanctuary has been a constant thread through two decades of my life’s tapestry, offering exactly what I needed—adventure in my twenties, healing in my thirties, perspective in my forties, and now, watching my child discover magic. It’s not just a place I return to; it’s a place that returns to me in quiet moments when the world feels too much, reminding me that paradise isn’t about perfection—it’s about coming home to yourselfPosted on Kaila KrayewskiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've been going to and from the Sanctuary for quite some time. It is truly my happy place. I often go with my writers group, we all live here on Koh Phangan, and we get away to the Sanctuary once or twice a year to spend a few days focusing on our writing, eating healthy and nourishing food, and being nourished by the nearby natural surroundings. It is the most inspirational place I've come across for writing, creativity, and focus. My trips to the sanctuary are always highlights of my year.Posted on Nicolas AxelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mon endroit préféré pour un dimanche matin inoubliable 🌈Posted on Q DosTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am back after 1 year...still magical...awesome vibe...I am doing another detox...it sets me up for the year The Sanctuary changes its guests everytime I come but each set of people are remarkably similar to the previous - amazingly friendly and interesting folks I can't imagine doing my annual recharge anywhere betterPosted on Linda ValenzianoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The detox program at The Sanctuary is life-changing. The wonderful team supports you every step of the way and you leave feeling light, clean, and completely refreshed. Furthermore, The Sanctuary resides on beautiful land that will hold and heal you during your detox. Stunning rock formations and multiple beaches to walk to. It is the perfect place to go and charge yourself with wellness, nature, and love 🤍Posted on Luisa EibauerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nachdem in der Nachbarbucht Wai Nam in den beiden Unterkünften, die es dort gibt, keine Kinder erlaubt sind, sind wir hierher umgezogen, wo das zum Glück grundsätzlich kein Problem ist. Wir waren aufgrund früherer Bewertungen, dass es schön ruhig ist, weil es dort wenig Kinder gibt, skeptisch, auf welches Klientel wir dort treffen würden. Tatsächlich wurden wir auf Nachfrage auch darauf hingewiesen, dass es im Restaurant gut wäre, eine moderate Lautstärke einzuhalten, was natürlich Druck auf Eltern ausübt. Abgesehen davon haben wir uns jedoch sehr willkommen gefühlt! Wir waren in einem der Budget Bungalows, die zwar weiter hinten, aber immer noch sehr schön und hochwertig eingerichtet sind.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
