For your retreat, you can choose between the resort's four different rooms types, from the basic Superior Garden Villas (but still 58 square meters) to their most famous Superior Jacuzzi Villas including a Jacuzzi hot tub. All villas lay amidst the lush tropical gardens with the Deluxe Jacuzzi and Royal Jacuzzi Villas having a partial sea view and being the most spacious and luxurious room types.
The size of the rooms ranges from 58 square meters to 94 square meters, and provide guests with spacious, large, and private space. Each villa features a comfortable seating area, spacious al-fresco bathrooms with an outside garden rain-shower and a terrace, all designed to ensure an enjoyable stay.
The rooms are well fitted out with a variety of unique interior features, designed by John Underwood. Warm tones, rich colors, heavy wooden furniture, and mostly natural materials used and combined to an almost timeless design make you feel comfortable right away.
Mangosteen Ayurveda & Wellness Resort's villas have been designed to be naturally cool, with very high insulation and air ventilation through the roof. Even without air-conditioning, you will feel comfortable and relaxed. The air-conditioning is working quietly, the temperature control is precise, and you can reach it from your bed.
Mattresses are first grade for a very comfortable sleep and sweet dreams. The tropical gardens are kept natural, cultured but not over-designed, attracting local animals such as geckos, birds, frogs, and butterflies, also a result of environmentally friendly pest control systems.

Koong Jiraphorn
I'm passionate about Yoga for a long time. I had the opportunity to train as a Yoga teacher in Rishikesh, India and I received the certificate of the Yoga Alliance YTTC, from Satyam Vedic Yoga School with Yogacharya Somdutt Amoli. I'm now living in Phuket to teach Yoga at different Yoga Centers. When I had the opportunity, I went to workshops in additional places to gain new knowledge, because I thought that learning was endless. Since 2017, I'm teaching Vinyasa Yoga at the Mangosteen Resort.
