Day Spas in Koh Samui
An indulgent spa day can be just what you need to rest and recharge. Fortunately, Koh Samui has many pockets of calm, with wellness retreats on every corner. Whether you’re seeking a Thai or aromatherapy massage or just a simple day of pampering, we’ve selected the very best spas on the island.
Six Senses Samui Spa
Six Senses Spa are number 1 on our list due to its top service, skilled masseuses’ and broad range of massage therapies. They offer around 38 different types of treatments, each targeting specific concerns and areas of the body. For example, the Anti-Stress massage (120 Minutes | 4,500 THB) helps relive muscle tension in the neck, shoulders and back. Other popular options include their Signature, Amazing Sense Four Hands treatment (90 Minutes | 6,900 THB); performed by 2 therapists, this synchronised massage will leave you in total bliss. These can all be enjoyed in complete privacy, or with scenic views over the water for the ultimate experience. Aside from these, they offer bath therapies and a selection of beauty treatments such as manicures and pedicures (60 Minutes | 1,900 THB). They even provide massages to kids, so you can unwind with your little ones (30 Minutes | 1,500 THB). Finally, herbal steam, sauna, showers, changing rooms and relaxation areas are also available.
First on our list is the legendary Tamarind Spring Forest Spa, renowned as Asia’s most outstanding and unique day spa. Established in 1998, the Tamarind has been a public favourite ever since. People keep coming back after the unforgettable experience amidst nature- a magical rain forest, gently swaying palms, gigantic granite boulders, sounds of birds chirping and a trickling waterfall. Thai Yoga Massage, Swedish Massage, and foot reflexology are their most popular massage services. You can choose to book recommended packages, including Steam & Dream and a massage of your choice! If you’re not a fan of massage, opt for just the Steam & Dream package, where you can unwind in the rolling water of three rock plunge pools for as long as you’d like!
Another highly rated retreat is the Banyan Tree Spa in Samui. This spa is a multi-award-winning venue and was the first hotel in Thailand to achieve a “Gold Certification” by Earthcheck. With 10 spa treatment pavilions and a array of therapies available, its not hard to see why. Specialising in holistic treatment, their massages aim to heal but also to promote lymphatic drainage of the body and clean its toxins. Furthermore, their signature hydrotherapy lodge, otherwise known as the “Rainforest” is renowned worldwide. Featuring a bamboo-themed interior, it homes a series of water jets, saunas, steams, ice facials and whirlpools. One popular choice here is the Tropical Rainmist (120 Minutes | 9,000 THB) that works to loosen muscles and soften skin. Alternatively, their “Tailored for Your Senses” package of curated treatments is great for a whole day of relaxation. Whilst it is quite pricey (90 Minutes | 6,500 THB), it’s worth every penny; comprising of a body massage, scrub and conditioner as well as a facial and calming bath of your choice. Finally, they source all of their products locally, such as their coconut oil, to ensure the best quality.
The Eranda Spa offers a wide choice of treatments in a idyllic hillside setting. Known as “the spa with a view”, its therapy rooms overlook the Gulf of Thailand. Furthermore, the venue is authentically Thai with dark wood furnishings, pagodas, stone walkways and a tropical landscape that leads to the spa. At this spa, they use only natural products. In fact, they create their own range of herbal oils and lotions that are also available for customers to purchase. The spa itself boasts high quality facilities with a plunge pool, jacuzzi, sauna and relaxation zones for customers to use. Their therapists have years of experience, and thus will deliver only the best standard of treatments. Guests can choose between massages, facial therapies or body treatments – of which, the Ancient Thai Massage (120 Minutes | 2,300 THB) is great for stretching away aches and pains. Or, bring your significant other and opt for the Eranda Experience spa package (5 Hours | 15,900 Baht); involving 6 separate treatments that fully rejuvenates the whole body. Don’t forget to take advantage of their exclusive deals and promotions on their website as well.
Located right by the beach, Ban Sabai lets you indulge in a wellness journey amidst the sandy shores and tropical palms. The venue has everything a spa day requires, such as private changing and shower facilities, as well as herbal aromatherapy steam rooms. There are various spa treatments available at Ban Sabai from body scrubs, foot reflexology, ear and body waxing to Ayurveda and Indian style massages. As a result, there’s something for any mood and preference, but we especially like their Shirodhara massage (60 minutes/3,900 Baht) that uses ancient Ayurvedic techniques and virgin coconut oil. Along with these, health and wellness programs are also available to revive and purify you inside and out.
Absolute Sanctuary hails itself as Thailand’s finest detox and yoga resort. Situated between Bangkok and Choeng Mon, this Moroccan-inspired spa strives to deliver optimum well-being to all its visitors. Thus, with AUMA Hospitality, they provide lifestyle packages for health, fitness and weight control. Each of their programs are overseen by professionals and can help detox, de-stress and revitalise. Moreover, it has a large menu of therapies and holistic massages, like their Indian Head Massage and the 60 minute Reiki session.
Getting in touch with nature is therapeutic. So far, we’ve mentioned massages in the rainforest, beachfront and by the waterfall. But how does having a massage in a cave sound to you? Cave Rai Ra Spa is part of the Royal Muang Samui Villas. The cave-themed environment gives you the quietness and serenity you don’t get in the outside world. Melt your stress away at this one-of-a-kind location. Not to mention, you also have a fantastic range of massages and treatments to choose from!
Baan Hin Sai Spa
Last but not least on our list is the spa at Baan Hin Sai Resort, a natural sanctuary constructed in the rocky outcrop. Baan Hin Sai is one of the only two hotels in Koh Samui under the unseen paradise project. To put it simply, the view from the top of the cliff is spectacular! Visit the beautiful sanctuary and enjoy a spa treatment in an open-air pavilion on a clifftop with a panoramic ocean view. If you seek privacy, this hidden haven is the place to go!
