"Jovan was my instructor and coach. "

This place is wonderful. I had the most enjoyable and fulfilling experience.

I had a genuine connection with my coach Jovan who made the experience even more memorable. The location is superb with spectacular views and a constant sea breathtaking which was very much welcome.

"Vinyasa & Yin"

Anne ran excellent Yin session and really set my expectations for the rest of the week. Johan made us work hard with long positions and continuous movement.

I was very impressed by both sessions

"Great retreat with good vibes"

I really enjoyed this retreat, the yoga was well taught and challenging. The food was amazing, the beds were comfy and the people were friendly. It was the perfect way to end my trip.

Le staff est extrêmement sympathique et souriant, l’emplacement est top , les cours de Yoga pour débutants sont très bien adaptés, la méditation tibetan bowls sounds , la cuisine , la piscine avec la vue sur Crystal baie , mon petit bungalow b6 , dans le jardin Zen , simple et très propre

Bref je recommande sans hésitations

Ps il y a beaucoup de marches d’escalier entre les bungalows et le restaurant qui ce situe au même niveau de la route mais en retrait, la vue étant ce qu’elle est les pauses au milieu de ces escaliers sont un bonheur !!!

"Great Yoga and Place "

I loved the location, the cliffs and views, the stairs, the shalla.. also enjoyed the overall vibe and lovely cafe and great food. But mainly I really enjoyed the open possibilities that Vikasa offers as different times and types of classes for both beginners and advanced and also variety in how much one wants to be immersed in the course. I loved the complete morning classes and also the special NYE class with Niki and her supportive, powerful guidance and coaching that was way more than just a yoga class..

"Excellent stay! "

My stay at Vikasa was excellent, and I enjoyed every minute.

I lived in a room with shared shower and toilet that wasn’t far away from my room. The toilet and showers were always clean. Loved the interior all around the hotel.

The food at the cafe is perfect as well! The yoga classes is top quality with amazing yoga teachers.

Next time I’m in Koh Samui, Vikasa is where i will stay!

Vikasa is a place very well designed in all the experience. Used to travel and to test different kind of yoga places, this one in fir’me One of the best. Costa and his team find the perfect balance with retreat and premium confort. Yoga in the white shala with an amazing view is of course the best of all you can find in Vikasa. Class are really good and teachers are always very professional . Life cafe is great too and you always feel a quiet atmosphere during your stay.

Everyday yoga, great food and stunning seaview made my perfect holiday. Glad that I got to enjoy the lovely sunshine a lot before it rained on my last day. Friendly and helpful team around the retreat. Room was clean and cozy. I came for yoga but also explored Pilates, Acro, Gong Meditation, Singing Bowls and Candle Gazing. Classes were good. Serge, who teaches Pilates and Acro, is especially amazing. Loved the Thai massage too!

"Overall an amazing retreat "

The yoga schedule was perfect. It had a lot of options and variety so you could really create your perfect schedule. I took classes from 3 different instructors while there (none of which are on the drop down list) and they were great! Each had their own style and I really enjoyed the variety. If your priority is yoga with an absolutely stunning view as well as vegetarian meals, this would be the perfect retreat for you.

"Great yoga teachers, view and food but lacked atmosphere"

The teachers are really great here. I felt very satisfied with their classes and the variety of different styles. I also went to meditation and tried pilates (which turned out to be my favourite class actually)! The view is stunning, and when the construction is finished the serenity will be great. Could also come here just to eat, I loved the fresh healthy food, and there was so much variety, it is always changing and so vibrant and colorful. They also let me check out a bit later which was really appreciated.

"stage yoga débutant "

j'ai passé un très bon moment au sein de VIKASA Yoga, le personnel est efficace et sympathique. Je suis débutante yoga, et j'ai vraiment beaucoup apprécié ce stage. Je ne savais pas si cela me plairait c’est pour cela que je n'avais pris que 5 jours et j'ai regretté de ne pas avoir pris un stage plus long.

Le programme des cours est top, vous pouvez choisir les cours qui vous intéresse en fonction du planning.

La salle de cours "blanche" face à la mer est parfaite pour les cours de yoga.

Le brunch est fantastique, comme tous les repas: des produits frais, des jus originaux , une grande variété de produits au choix, du sucré, du salé, du continental et du thaï. On se sent revigoré par la nourriture proposé très saine.

le lieu est magnifique, avec une vue sur la mer.

J'ai testé le spa avec le forfait de 3 massages "cellulite". Le personnel est très gentil, le lieu est très paisible et très propre.

"Great retreat"

If you're looking for a place to help you slow down and unplug for a while, look no further. Vikasa is a serene mix between botanical garden, mural gallery and beach resort, and helps eliminate most of the day to day distractions that many of us regularly face. After 6 days we left feeling more grounded, calm and positive. Overall a great experience.

All the instructors are super knowledgeable and skillful. They are great teachers, especially Mike. He has a very good, positive energy. My bungalow was at the end of the shoreline. Great view of the ocean. Food was fantastic. The only downside was it rained on my last 2 days but I would definitely come back to the resort if I had another opportunity to visit Thailand.

Ich als Nicht-Vegi war insbesondere von den vielseitigen leckeren (teilweise auch veganen) Gerichten begeistert! Das Morgenbuffet wie auch die warmen Gerichte am Abend waren immer sehr frisch und köstlich! Vikasa liegt an einer sehr ruhig Lage mit wunderschönen grünen Aussicht. Sehr idyllisch und genau richtig, um abzuschalten. Auch die Yoga Teachers haben mich sehr überzeugt. Meines Erachtens sind die besser als der Durchschnitt.

1. I like its quietness facing to the ocean

2. You should go check out the swimming pool it's really nice

3. It's just so chillaxing when your having breakfast in Life Cafe

4. I like my room is just a few steps away from the white gala (place for yoga)

5. I like all the people around - so open up and talk to any of them

The classes offer a good variety and the teachers are all amazing! I had a great time and would come back anytime.

Besides yoga my highlight was the yummy food that is included as well as the a la carte in the restaurant. So good!

Massages are a bit pricey compared to other places on the island, but definitely worth it. Great atmosphere and vibes over all at Vikasa.
