Absolute Sanctuary

Perched on the Cheong Mon peninsula in Koh Samui, this boutique wellness resort sits on a hillside with Gulf of Thailand views. It’s minutes from Chaweng and Choeng Mon beaches, close to Bangrak and Fisherman's Village, and about 3–4 km from Samui Intl Airport — ideal for a quick beach-and-yoga escape.

A detox- and yoga-focused spa hotel with a relaxed, spa-chic vibe. Rooms (about 38) are air-conditioned and come with minibars, safes, TV, small private terraces, bathrobes and hair dryers. Expect an emphasis on wellness programs, simple modern décor and hillside views rather than flashy luxury.

Float in an infinity-edge outdoor pool, steam off in the sauna, or stretch in dedicated yoga and detox studios. The full spa offers massages, body treatments and facials. There’s a pool juice bar, sun lounge and a complimentary shuttle to nearby beaches and shopping — plus a picnic area and library for low-key downtime. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and retreat to calm.

Free wireless internet throughout the property, a conference/meeting room, 24-hour front desk and luggage storage. Laundry and dry-cleaning services are available, with airport shuttle service (surcharge) and free self-parking on site.

On-site restaurant serving local flavors and light international fare, a bar/lounge for evening drinks, room service during limited hours and a pool juice bar for healthy refreshment after yoga or spa sessions.
