Suan Sati Yoga Retreat Center

I visited Suan Sati in February 2020 and it was stunning. Everything was really high quality & done by lots of love. From food to teacher to accommodation to yoga lessons. I loved yoga practices with Rachel and Amanda, those two people where just amazing human beings.Sometimes when I feel sad I beam myself to the calming rice fields, to this quiet, beautiful, awesome place. Never felt so peaceful in my whole life. Hope I can come back soon! ♥️Thanks to everyone who make this place so special!

Had the most amazing magical experience on a 4 day retreat in Suan Sati at the end of MayThe quality of the teachers, the food, the workshops, the accommodation and the people working there, everything was to an exceptional standard and everyone made you feel so welcome. I also met some of the loveliest people also on the retreat.It’s a very special place you can feel once you walk in the door.I would recommend it to anyone looking to do a yoga retreat at any level.Definitely a high of my 1 year of travels and hope I can return in the future !

When planning my holiday, I was hesitating if I should go to Suan Sati because I preferred somewhere with a more packed daily schedule which would keep me busy. And better if can be, somewhere with nice beaches nearby. At the end I decided to give Suan Sati a try because the place has earned so many genuine 5-stars reviews. After staying there for a week, I think I made a good decision. The place was sooooo full of positive vibes. I met like-minded people who are eager to learn about themselves by looking inwards. When there was no class or workshop, I could spend time on my own reading, drawing, going for a walk around the rice field or simply lying in a hammock, or mingling with other friendly guests in the common area when I grab myself a cup of tea or coffee. The meaningful and deep talks, with other guests or the teachers, filled me with positive energy. We crossed our paths shortly here, but it didn’t deter us from sharing our most genuine thoughts and feelings towards one another which was beautiful. Even if one felt like no interaction anytime, go ahead and be yourself. It was something very well respected and understood. You could be yourself totally there.Speaking of the yoga classes, they were not physically demanding most of the time, at least in my own experience. But they were refreshing in the sense that they made a good balance between asana and meditation/mindfulness. Each teacher (there were four of them at that time) presented their own style of teaching and shared beautiful quotes/mantras with us. I loved they from time to time reminded us to come back to ourselves and nurture self-love and gratitude throughout the practice, which is way more important than being good at poses.And for the workshops, I just love them all. Art jam, ice bath, sonic sound healing, cacao and ecstatic danceich..Completely new experience to me and most guests. Happy to try something new as a group and exchange our thoughts after so.I stayed in the dorm, shared by 8 people. It was supposed to be mixed gender but ended up all my dorm mates were females. Hearsay was they had the male guests moved to some rooms, so to make the female guests feel more comfortable in the dorm. This was really nice and considerate. The dorm was neat and basic, and we had to use the shared toilets and showers a few steps outside the dorm. Yet, they were well maintained and clean. As a backpacker, I needed not much and felt very satisfied with what I got.Coming to the food. They wrote in the welcoming email Suan Sati would fill your belly full and happy, and it was so true. Some guests said they ate too much each meal because the vegetarian food was so good. I could totally relate.I love they have the “gratitude food” tradition that before every meal, the whole group makes a circle, hand-in-hand around the dishes, then one of the teachers shares a reflective quote and guides the group to feel grateful for the meal or something else. For dinner time, everyone shares in a sentence or two what he/she feels grateful on that day. Simple but incredibly beautiful.I highly recommend Suan Sati, no matter if you are into spirituality/yoga/meditation or simply want to give yourself a break. You would be able to take good care of your inner self even with a stay for as short as 3 days there.Last but not least, I would like to thank the teachers I met there. Amy, Amanda, Chiara, Kristy and Ashley. Thank you for their amazing jobs. They are highly dedicated and genuine people. I send my best wishes to them all.

Not only was this the best retreat I have ever been to, but I also made life-long friends and gotten to explore Thailand and other countries with the friends I have met here. The meals are incredible, the yoga program is top-tier, and you couldn’t dream of better company or a more seamless experience. This was my first stop on a journey as a female solo traveler, and my first trip to Asia- and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

This place is so magical. The people are amazing, food is delicious and the spirit is just everything I needed in my life. I felt so happy and calm during my time there. I can recommend this place to everyone 100%. I will be back for sure!

Suan Sati is my safe place.It is a place of warmth, comfort and immense peacefulness.I have been to the previous set up and the current one, and both were exquisite.The grounds are stunning, the sunrise and sunsets some of the best I have ever seen, and the beds are super comfy and cozy.The star gazing nets probably have a me sized shape ingraved in them I spent so long laying and watching the stars each night.If you are looking for a place to be yourself, to work on mindfulness, to practice your yoga or simply enjoy a relaxing hammock and incredible, good for your soul, plant based food that is honestly the best I have ever eaten, then look no further! (They even cater to my intolerance of Onion and dislike of Coriander!)I will be coming back as soon as I can, and I will always consider it a home away from home.Lisa and Will are two of the nicest people I have ever met, and their warmth and love for this place shines through in every interaction you have with them. Incredible people whom you must meet if you have the chance.My love to this beautiful place is immeasurable.Ps. Silent mornings are now a part of my daily life ❤️

My favorite place in the whole wide world is anywhere Will and Lisa are creating an experience. Suan Sati is the most special place on earth. 💜

Best experience ever! I loved it so much that I stayed for 2 weeks. Will and Lisa have made this place so special. I felt so much love and peace. The yoga classes are really good for all levels and the food A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.I would definitely come back! If you are thinking about it but don’t know yet, this is your sign to book ✨🌟

I stayed at Suan Sati for two weeks at Christmas. I was looking for a place to slow down and reconnect but the whole experience gave me much more than that. The special 'Suan Sati-magic' is sprinkled over everything: from the delicious food to yoga classes, inspiring and community-building workshops, the singing, dancing, the amazing people, nature, and guesthouses. It was the perfect place for me to spend the Christmas holidays and do something special for myself. Been living off the magic since and have been spreading the Suan Sati love: all my colleagues want to book a retreat and become part of the SS-family now!

Wowow!! If you have the opportunity to experience Suan Sati, then make one of the best decisions of your life and go! You deserve it. A breathtaking space with my favorite teachers to relax, reflect, process your journey and make it into anything you want and more. I loved every moment here and 3 nights wasn’t enough. Also best food I had in Thailand by far. Forever my happy place.
