Famous for its monthly full moon parties, Koh Phangan is a spectacularly beautiful island in the Gulf of Thailand. With simple sandy roads and no airport, the glittering beaches and lush jungle remain largely unspoiled, escaping the development that has overtaken neighbouring Koh Samui. Around the curve of the bay from the music and lights of all-night parties, visitors discover another side to the island where coconut palms droop lazily over the beach and the only sound is gentle lapping waves.

The Hotel
The Sanctuary is an alternative healing centre that offers spa treatments, detox and fasting programs, yoga and meditation in a magnificent beachfront location. Acclaimed by publications including The Times and The Guardian, the boutique resort retains a rustic, off the beaten track vibe that appeals to detoxers and relaxation-seekers alike. Groupies stay in a luxury room and enjoy a dinner with drinks for two on the first night at the excellent beachfront restaurant, plus cocktails on arrival to get into the holiday mood.



Groupon Recommends
Make the most of the onsite facilities with a heavenly spa treatment, as well as a yoga class, with three daily sessions to choose from. Grab a kayak and paddle about on the crystal clear waters lapping at the beach, or take a tour through dense, prehistoric jungle and keep an eye out for monkeys. For peeps looking to detox, there is a range of different programs available including fasting, colonics and more. Make sure to arise early at least once during the stay to watch the sunrise over the bay in front of the resort.



Local Amenities
The Sanctuary Island Resort Thailand is located on Haad Tien Bay, on the east coast of Koh Phangan. The bay is two beaches away from Haad Rin where the full moon parties occur, and is most easily accessed via Haad Rin town by car or by boat – a taxi boat trip from town takes 15 minutes. The nearest airport is on Koh Samui and there are regular ferry services between the two islands.

Reviews

when it’s time to leave I feel more alive than I thought possible.
– Helen McNutt, The Times

the kind of place you book into for a week and end up staying for a month. Here, among the thatched roofs, decks and balconies above a translucent Gulf of Thailand, health and well-being is a laid-back, low-key affair.
– Katie Monk, The Guardian

Highly recommend if you are looking for a chill out place with awesome food, great people and a stellar level of service!
