8 Best Spas in Koh Samui

Amata Spa is set in the beautiful tropical gardens of the Coral Bay Resort, at the northern end of Chaweng. The experienced spa therapists have all completed over 300 hours of training, and the spa boasts exceptional facilities such as a detoxifying infrared sauna, high-pressure hydro-jets, and a herbal steam room with a plunge pool.

The spa manageress is also a qualified nurse, and you can have a consultation in order to tailor-make packages of treatments suited to your requirements.

Baan Sabai is located in a charming compound of Ayutthaya-style teak houses and salas next to the beach at Big Buddha. The houses and their well-manicured tropical gardens are dotted with Buddha images, terracotta pots and antiques. All the treatments take place with the sound of the waves lapping nearby, which enhances an already very relaxing experience.

A wide range of massages, wraps and facials is offered, the standout being the Herbal Steam Massage – a traditional Thai massage supplemented with a soothing herbal compress. The houses can be booked for a half or a full package of treatments.

The Health Oasis Resort puts an emphasis on a healthy lifestyle, especially regarding food, rather than a quick fix. Some fairly radical cleansing and liver flush fasts among the diet programs are aimed at steering you in the right direction.

The Health Oasis is also known for its team of blind masseuses. They're very effective in feeling for and dealing with tense muscles. It's a simple, basic and inexpensive setup in a nice beach location.

In addition to the fast, each person is given an iridology consultation with personal physio-nutritional, psycho-spiritual and emotional counselling.

Accommodations are available at several bungalow resorts nearby and can be arranged by the spa staff.
