Location

This retreat will take place on the island of Koh Pha-Ngan, situated in the Southern Gulf of Thailand, 100 kilometers from Suratthani, the district center.

Koh Phangan came from the word Ngan which means sand bar. The name was derived from the many sand bars that are visible around the island during low tide season.

The island of Koh Phangan has been known as the island of the full moon party but when the party is over and the sun has risen, you will be surprised to find how much more Koh Phangan has to offer.

A natural paradise island in the Southern Gulf of Thailand, Koh Phangan serves as the perfect getaway retreat, with crystal clear water, white sandy beaches, sunny tropical green forests, coral reefs, beautiful moons, spectacular sunrises and perfect sunsets.

Here you can relax on quiet deserted beaches, snorkel, visit the distinctive island of Koh Ma, a protected National Marine Park or seek adventure in the nearby Ang Thong archipelago composed of over 40 islands endowed with pristine beaches, natural caves and the tranquil Tha Laem Nai - the salt water blue lagoon lake featured in The Beach by Alex Garland. It seems that whatever it is you are looking for, there is something here for everyone.

The nearby island of Koh Samui has an international airport that receives flights from all over Thailand and Asia. Koh Phangan is a 15-kilometer boat journey from Koh Samui with ferries all day.
