Phuket welcomes you warmly — get settled, then come together for movement, connection, sound healing, and a welcome dinner
Welcome to the beginning of your soulful journey in dreamy Phuket, an idyllic wellness destination where you can escape the stressful hustle of daily life and connect with nature and your inner self. Once you arrive at Phuket Airport, you'll be whisked away to the stunning Lan Sabai, your home for the next few days. From the moment you check into this serene sanctuary, you'll be wrapped up in a sense of calm as you immerse yourself in the peaceful surroundings of the resort.
Once you've settled in and dropped your bags, we'll come together for a Flexibility & Mobility session, along with our Opening Circle. Let your body flow in harmony with the gentle movements of yoga — feel a sense of healing as you release hidden tensions and ground yourself while you connect with the group.
As the sun sets, we'll enjoy our first meal together over a joyful welcome dinner. Savor the flavors of local cuisine and connect with your fellow retreat companions as we fill the night with positive vibes, delicious food, and soulful connections, setting the tone for the transformative journey that lies ahead. We’ll close out the night with a sound journey, centering our souls and preparing us for a great night’s rest. Tomorrow will be a new day filled with beautiful moments, so we encourage you to rest and recharge so you may allow yourself to fully immerse in the spirit of Phuket with a whole heart and clear mind.
Day 2
Partake in morning breathwork and meditation, head out on an immersive city tour, enjoy lunch in town, and return to the resort for dinner and evening yoga
Rise and shine — we hope you had a restful night's sleep and are ready for another day of healing and self-discovery! We'll begin our morning with a breathwork and meditation session, designed to nurture your spirit and release what no longer serves you. After this, we will indulge in a nourishing breakfast filled with wholesome, locally-sourced ingredients that will fuel your body and soul for the day ahead.
Next, we'll head out for a city tour of Phuket, starting with a visit to the Big Buddha. You'll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the local culture and traditions. The city is steeped in history and boasts stunning architecture, temples, and markets that are sure to delight your senses. We'll stop for a delicious lunch in town at Tu Kab Khao, a Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant distinguished by its high-quality ingredients, before you are free to spend the remainder of the afternoon at leisure. Explore on your own, relax, and create beautiful memories in Phuket, where tropical landscapes, stunning beaches, and incredible nature provide the ultimate immersive destination.
In the evening, we'll come together for a Gentle Flow session, followed by another nourishing dinner — both helping you to balance your energy and promote deep healing.
Day 3
Embark on a wonderful day trip to the Phi Phi Islands, snorkel in the gleaming waters, and connect with the wonders of nature
Today, an incredible adventure for the senses awaits as we journey to the stunning Phi Phi Islands. Start your day with excitement as you grab a delectable breakfast box from the resort and make your way to the pier. The adventure begins as you board a speed boat and sail to the enchanting Maya Bay. Renowned as one of the world's top 10 beaches, you’ll be captivated by the breathtaking beauty of Pileh lagoon, a serene emerald oasis surrounded by towering limestone mountains.
As the clock strikes 11:30 am, indulge in a casual lunch on a picturesque island, savoring delicious flavors amidst this tropical paradise. Once we are fueled, we’ll set sail to a nearby island, where you can immerse yourself in thrilling snorkeling adventures and an array of water activities in the glistening waters. Afterward, relax on the inviting island beach, letting the sun's warm embrace soothe your senses.
The day's escapades culminate in the late afternoon, as you return to the pier and head back to the resort. In the evening, treat yourself to a session of Restorative Yoga and Myofascial Release with Cherry, rejuvenating your body and mind. Finally, delight in a sumptuous dinner at Lan Sabai, bringing a perfect end to a day filled with exploration and relaxation.

As the sun paints the sky with hues of dawn, we’ll come together for a soothing session of breathwork and mindful walking, allowing time and space to connect with nature and your inner self. Following this tranquil start, indulge in a wholesome breakfast that energizes both body and spirit.
Once we’re refueled, prepare to unlock your body's potential with a detox yoga session, a practice that promises to cleanse and revitalize. Afterward, savor a nutritious lunch that complements our wellness journey. From here, the afternoon grants you the freedom to choose between the serenity of the beach, the exhilaration of hiking, or relaxing at the resort, allowing you to maintain that connection we invoked this morning with the natural world.
As the day progresses, immerse yourself in Thai culture and cuisine during a Thai cooking class. Learn the secrets of Thai culinary artistry and enjoy your creations for dinner at the cooking school, a delightful culmination of your culinary adventure.
To wrap up this day of well-being, we’ll close out the night with a Mobility & Flexibility session complemented with a Sound Journey. Surrender to the soothing sounds and gentle movements that will leave you feeling refreshed and renewed. Embrace the invitation to nurture your mind, body, and soul.

Our final day here in paradise begins with a nourishing breakfast that fuels your body with goodness. As the morning sun caresses the shores, we’ll head to the shoreline for a Morning Beach Meditation and Yoga session, where the rhythmic waves provide the perfect backdrop for your practice. Let the gentle breeze and soothing sound of the ocean guide you towards inner serenity. Following this invigorating session, relish a wholesome lunch that replenishes your energy.
After some free time to rest and relax and the night comes forth, we’ll gather for Yin Yang Yoga and our Closing Circle, a harmonious practice that balances your energies and will prepare us all for a sense of closure. To conclude this wellness-infused day, a heartfelt farewell dinner awaits at Blue Elephant, a Michelin Guide rated restaurant famous for their Thai classics and Peranakan menu. Share stories, laughter, and delicious cuisine in a charming setting that perfectly encapsulates the essence of your journey. As the day comes to an end, bask in the sense of peace and well-being that accompanies you, carrying the spirit of this retreat with you into the days to come.

It’s time to say goodbye to our beautiful sanctuary and head home
As the sun gracefully rises, we invite you to start your day with one last Sunrise Breathwork & Morning Stretch session. This tranquil practice will awaken your senses and prepare you for the day of travel ahead. Afterward, delight in a wholesome breakfast that provides nourishment and energy.
