Lotus Pad Plus

Nothing says ‘Thailand vacation’ like a room that offers both ocean and pool views. The Lotus Pad Plus is similar in size and amenities to the standard version, however the plus option is located right by the infinity pool, with views that allow you to soak up all the blue hues of the pool, sea and sky. For those who want to spend plenty of time swimming and working on their tan, this option is for you. These rooms are also a short stroll to the Vita Spa and Zen Sala. Don’t want to walk upstairs for a snack? The pool bar conveniently offers its own menu just a few steps away. Fall asleep with your curtains open to see the stars and wake to the sun rising over the ocean from your dreamy king size bed. Healthy mini bar, powerful air conditioning, desk and hand painted artwork ensure your stay is both comfortable and inspiring. Private ensuite bathrooms are equipped with natural Vikasa amenities, hairdryer, hot water showers and touch screen mirrors. The only downfall of these rooms? You may not want to check out.

Lotus Pad

For those who love privacy, peace and space, our Lotus Pad rooms are carefully spread around our tropical gardens, tucked between our infinity pool and Vita Spa. With king or twin bed options, these rooms are ideal for one solo traveler or two people traveling together. Built in wardrobes offer plenty of space to unpack and store your belongings, while a comfortable desk and bedside tables offer surfaces to hold all your yoga essentials. Hand painted mandala artwork, high quality bedding and our famous Vikasa healthy mini bar are just a few of the thoughtful touches that will make you feel right at home from the moment you arrive. A safe is available for your personal belongings and high quality air conditioning ensures you will drift into a deep and restful slumber. Many Lotus Pad rooms have private balconies where you can watch the sunrise with a warm cup of herbal tea in hand. Ensuite bathrooms have been newly renovated with hot showers, touchscreen mirrors, and natural Vikasa toiletries. For those seeking serenity and freedom, these rooms are for you.

Prana Cabana Plus

The plus version of our standard Prana Cabana rooms offer solid, stand alone cabanas with the best views and location. Wake up to the rising sun over the ocean and enjoy a hot herbal tea on your private balcony. Located in our Prana Village, these rooms are just a short stroll to the Vikasa Secret Beach and also the White Prana Sala where daily yoga classes are held. With comfortable king or twin share beds, these rooms are ideal for solo travelers or two people on vacation together. Rooms include everything you need for the perfect wellness escape including efficient air conditioning, our healthy mini bar, bar fridge and kettle, desk, wall mounted mirror and hand painted mandala artwork. Ensuite bathrooms are newly renovated and offer hot water showers, touch screen mirror and natural Vikasa toiletries. Fall asleep to the sound of the ocean and wake for the early morning class, just a few steps away from your private tranquil sanctuary. For those who love beach vibes and their own inspiring space to relax, this room type is our best category for the yogi who wants it all.

Prana Cabana

Located in our Prana Village, these rooms are a short stroll to the Vikasa Secret beach and White Prana Sala. Fall asleep at night to the gentle lull of the ocean and wake to the sun rising over the horizon. The Prana Cabanas are stand alone rooms, ideal for one solo traveler or two people traveling together with queen or twin bed options available. Private balconies allow you to immerse yourself in nature and the modest and comfortable rooms offer everything you need to feel safe, relaxed and at home. Ensuite bathrooms have been newly renovated to offer hot water showers, touch screen mirrors and natural Vikasa toiletries. Just a short walk to the White Prana Sala means you have easy access to all the yoga classes you heart desires during your stay. Our shuttle service and Prana Reception ensures you have support throughout your stay and a quick ride to the Life Cafe if you prefer to avoid the stairs. These popular rooms are ideal for anyone seeking an inspiring wellness escape with privacy and tranquility.

Yoga Cave Plus

The more luxurious version of our standard Yoga Caves, the plus option offers a little more privacy and style, with rooms tucked away behind the Black Lotus Sala. The Yoga Cave Plus are private single rooms with polished concrete flooring and large windows that face the ocean and rising sun. With a comfortable single bed, desk, mounted wall mirror and plenty of space for your holiday essentials, the Yoga Cave Plus is one of our most popular room options, ideal for anyone happy with a small yet stylish space. The bathroom facilities are just a few short steps away, with private showers and toilets shared only with the 6 other Yoga Cave Plus residents.

Program

Enjoy a Transformative Yoga Retreat in Thailand

A yoga vacation that leaves you in better shape – physically and mentally- than before.

How do you feel about your life? Is it a life of health, happiness, and personal evolution? How about your vacation? Are they meaningful experiences that leave you stronger, clearer, and more connected? Or do you tend to return home feeling like you need another escape? Meaningful holidays lead to personal growth. Vikasa means evolution in Sanskrit. A Vikation is the perfect way to take a deep breath from life and return home feeling more powerful and enlivened, reconnected to the most radiant version of you.

The Vikasa lifestyle allows you to reap the maximum enjoyment from your retreat journey. The benefits of a Vikasa retreat are often experienced within just a few days. You’ll discover energy and motivation you never knew existed. You’ll feel strong and vibrant from the combination of yoga, nature, healthy food, and community. Your mind, body, and spirit will evolve and you making choices that value your self-care feels easy and natural. Self-transformation is part of every Vikasa journey. When you start making small changes, you’ll reawaken something deep within you. This means the benefits of your retreat aren’t limited, they are long-lasting.

A Vikation offers you the best of both worlds. It’s an invitation to retreat your way and choose your own retreat adventure depending on your goals. A Vikation combines deep relaxation with meaningful challenge. This lifestyle is not about limiting yourself, rather it is about abundance. After all, life is about having fun and experiencing people, food, culture, and adventures along the way. Through your time at Vikasa, you will also discover that having a sense of self-motivation and curiosity is what enables you to grow. As humans, we thrive on patterns and rituals. This is an opportunity to discover what best serves you, and how to continue these practices and routines from anywhere in the world.

You will likely be inspired to introduce small changes like meditation, a few yoga poses, healthier eating, or writing a gratitude list, into your life. These simple techniques can completely change your mindset and the direction of your path setting you up to embark on a new chapter. Real transformation starts here.

Kosta Miachin created Vikasa as a place for transformation. This magical place has been a starting point for lifestyle change for thousands of people. Many of the guests return to Vikasa every year to brush up on their lifestyle habits, experience the beauty of Vikasa, take some much-deserved time out, and immerse themselves in a diverse community.

Lifestyle

Rest: Wake up naturally to the sounds of the ocean and tropical birds, not an alarm.
Nourish: Nourish your body with fresh, wholesome, delicious, mouth-watering meals.
Community: Meet new friends and interact with like-minded people in a vibrant community.

Yoga

Strengthen: Challenge your body and discover strength and agility in all-level yoga classes.
Breathe: Experience the power of meditation and breathwork to help you focus within.
Flow: Tap into your inner self and find flow and freedom both on and off the mat.

Benefits

Self Love: Empower yourself to take responsibility for your own health and happiness.
Stress Adaptation: Don’t just relieve stress, train your nervous system to be more resilient.
Transformation: Discover what your body needs to thrive and effortlessly transform for the better.

Take a Vikation, Take A Deep Breath From Life

Evolution feels amazing. The classic Vikation is the perfect way to take a deep breath from life and return home feeling more powerful and enlivened than before. After a yoga vacation, your daily life will suddenly vibrate on a different level. You may start to branch out naturally into new circles. The new people you will start to attract will be healthier and happier people. When you tap into your deepest energy, you’ll unlock a powerful force that is mirrored in those around you. You’ll have a spring in your step with more energy and enthusiasm to live your life the way it was meant to be lived. Your confidence will rise, your mind will clear, and you’ll feel a deeper sense of self-love.

The Vikasa lifestyle is about waking up and reconnecting to your most enlivened, radiant self. Sadly, many people in modern society are stuck in some kind of rut. They never get started on their path to evolution because they shelter themselves from change. They stay trapped in old patterns and neglect their own health and well-being. They think yoga is about fancy poses and looking pretty on a mat. They make excuses to avoid wellness modalities and in doing so, limit their potential. The Vikasa lifestyle is about waking up and prioritizing natural and simple ways to help you feel the most alive. It’s about getting back to basics and reconnecting with a lost part of yourself so you feel empowered to follow your truth and really live life to the fullest.

Your attitude towards life is what you call your life philosophy. Your inner view of the world creates your outer world as a mirror image. It all depends on the way your attitude is wired and how you think about your life. Your life philosophy is created by the thoughts you think and the beliefs that shape the reality around you. Wherever you put your intention is where your life grows. If you focus on your well-being, you will thrive.

Ethical Adventures

Your free time on your Vikation is yours to fill as you please. Every week, several different adventures around the island that you are welcome to partake in will be offered. Come and hand-feed rescued elephants at Koh Samui’s Elephant Sanctuary. Explore the underwater world of the island with an afternoon boat trip, finishing off with sunset happy hour. Or come and hike the majestic waterfalls and get back to nature, you’ll be rewarded for your efforts with a refreshing swim and cold coconut. Have your heart set on something else? Vikasa can help you arrange excursions, activities, or adventures. The island may be small yet it has plenty on offer to suit all tastes and preferences.

Holistic Bliss

Prefer to stay onsite and surrender to the hands of our experienced massage therapists? Vita Spa has a wide range of holistic therapies on offer for you to relax and rejuvenate completely. Try a traditional Thai massage from one of the clifftop massage pagodas listening to the sounds of the ocean as you let any tension in your body melt away. Or opt for a complete oil massage inside the cool and tranquil spa rooms. Private sound healing, reiki sessions, and other holistic options are available for you to indulge in that complement your yoga retreat journey. Not sure what’s best suited to your needs? Ask our team of therapists or our Vikation programs manager for their top tips.

Learn and Connect

Every week in the Life Cafe, Vikation guests are welcome to join in the comfortable bean bag area to learn more about an interesting yoga topic or explore an element of yoga philosophy. These are led by experienced Vikasa yoga teachers and are open to anyone to come and not only learn a little more about yoga, but connect with like-minded guests, ask any questions you may have, and immerse yourself within the Vikasa community. Many solo guests and these weekly evening chats are a perfect way to meet other guests and break the ice so you feel welcome and at home. Chances are you’ll find some new friends to lay your yoga mat alongside the next day.

Your Daily Schedule

The beauty of a Vikation is you choose your schedule to create your perfect yoga holiday. You have unlimited access to the yoga class schedule to pick and choose what classes work best for you. Sample different styles, teachers, and times to get a real feel for the Vikasa experience. In between classes, you will enjoy a delicious buffet brunch and dinner in the Life Cafe. Your spare time is yours to fill as you please- join us for adventures around the island with a waterfall hike, elephant sanctuary visit, or sunset snorkeling boat trip. Lounge around the infinity pool, swim on the secret beach or relax with a Thai massage or holistic therapy at the Vita spa. Evenings are yours to enjoy, several nights there are free talks and discussions in the life cafe, sound or gong healing, and ecstatic dance. Our Vikasa team is on hand to help you curate your dream escape if you need any support.

Instructors

Konstantin Miachin

1 Certificate Show Hide

Kosta’s journey into yoga has taken him to the far reaches of the world, from remote Himalayan ashrams, to his initiation by a master monk in a sacred Sak-Yant ceremony in Thailand. His passion has led him to search out for his own personal development throughout the world. Kosta's years of worldly experience have led to deeper understanding of yoga as a personal journey and spiritual evolution.

Niki Lundberg

1 Certificate Show Hide

When Niki first discovered yoga she fell in love with the way it moved her closer to her inner self. From that day, her life changed completely. Yoga has taken her on a beautiful journey from Sweden into the world. She now travels the world teaching classes, workshops, retreats, and training in Thailand, India, Australia, and Europe. Niki believes that yoga can be life-changing, both on an individual and a collective level. With yoga, you can find your way back to yourselves, to discover who you truly are, and from there, your potential is limitless.

Michael Murray

1 Certificate Show Hide

While initially drawn to the physical aspects of yoga, Michael remains stimulated by the interplay between the physical practice and the more spiritual, inner journey that can be opened up by the physical practice. In pursuit of this interplay, Michael teaches strong and flowy Vinyasa classes focussed both on correct alignment and intuitive movement and also facilitates discussions and lectures on emotional intelligence and personal development.

Ann Thongdon

Ann is from the north east of Thailand. She began to study yoga whilst living in Bangkok over 10 years ago and has travelled to India and Bali to learn more about yoga philosophy. Yoga changed Ann’s life and helped her to know herself far better and understand her feelings more deeply. Her goal as a yoga teacher is for each of her students to improve their practice, so she tailors her classes to challenge each person’s abilities. Her sessions are fun and meaningful so students will be inspired to continue their practice in the future.

Grant Latimer

1 Certificate Show Hide

Grant embodies a love for yoga that has spanned over 20 years. First through mantra meditation then asana, pranayama, dynamic meditations and sound healing. He completed his RYT500 with Vikasa and has spent several years living and teaching in Bali, China, and assisting on Vikasa’s 200 hour trainings since 2019. Grant’s passion is to share his knowledge of asana development, meditation and hand-balance to ignite others to develop and grow. Through yoga may you all experience peace of mind and inspire others to seek a path of truth.

Demi Chandra

1 Certificate Show Hide

Demi Chandra teaches yoga as a means of embracing all parts of ourselves, seen and unseen. Her asana style is woven with influences from dance, circus training and functional movement. She is a proponent of classical Tantric philosophy, shadow work and lila - the state of sacred play. Demi began her teaching journey seven years ago in California and has since accrued 1,500 hours of Yoga Alliance teacher training hours, though she takes every opportunity to sit in a seat of studentship.

Retreat location

Vikasa Yoga Retreat is located on the tropical island of Koh Samui in Thailand.

Imagine a place where people openly surrender to waves of change and transformation. Vikasa means ‘evolution’ in Sanskrit. Join the tribe and embrace personal evolution in an inspiring environment. Raise your vibrations, find meaningful connections, and experience transformation in your daily life. Yoga is not something you do. Yoga is your natural state. Vikasa believes a healthy world starts with healthy people, and every evolution starts with just one person. If you change yourself, you can change the world. They believe evolution leads to a natural progression of individuality where uniqueness is celebrated as a natural piece of the oneness we are all part of. They also believe in self-love, self-reliance, and taking responsibility for your own happiness. The self is the foundation of connection and the first step in any transformative journey.

Koh Samui is also an ideal place for a yoga retreat with outstanding natural beauty everywhere you turn. Time on Koh Samui is an opportunity to relax, unwind, explore, and focus on yourself. Enjoy the natural energy of palm trees, white sand, purple sunsets, turquoise waters, dense jungle, and exotic waterfalls. Vikasa Yoga Retreat is located in one of the most beautiful parts of the island, just next to the famous Chaweng viewpoint. Although completely secluded and private, they are just minutes away from the most beautiful beaches such as Chaweng Noi, Coral Cove, and Silver Beach. They are also just a short drive from the most popular and busy shopping and dining areas of Chaweng, Lamai, and Bo Phut. Koh Samui is rather small and easy to explore on your own.
