Expert tip: This is one of the most popular yoga retreats offered in Thailand.
Vikasa believes that the only thing better than a vacation is a Vikation. A Vikation is the signature experience at Vikasa, which combines deep rest and relaxation with meaningful challenge and adventure. With plenty of freedom and flexibility, curate your perfect yoga retreat to suit your needs and goals. Leave feeling inspired with a new outlook on life.
Vikasa Yoga Retreat features different styles of accommodation, making it easy to find the style that fits you best. If you're looking for absolute comfort, wake up in a king-size bed in the ocean rooms. If you're traveling alone, you can enjoy the sweeping views from the single yoga caves.
Their rooms celebrate simplicity yet also have everything you need for a perfect rejuvenating stay. You will notice some of the room options have a "plus,” which means they are a little bit bigger or have better views than the standard category.
Awaken to the blissful ocean breeze and embrace sunrise with uninterrupted ocean or garden views. Comfortable furnishings flow around the centrally positioned king bed, complete with high-quality mattresses and bedding. Curl up on your private terrace with a book and a cup of complementary in-room tea. Enjoy complimentary eco-friendly toiletries and a spacious, uncluttered bathroom. Lotus Pad Plus is the most complete and comfortable option, a perfect choice to recharge, unwind, and feel like yourself again in the unmatched natural beauty of Samui Island.
Renew your flow each morning gazing over the calming waves or nestled in the rejuvenating tropical gardens; these pads offer a serene space that centers around the plush king bed oriented towards the beautiful, expansive views. Each room is accented with local elements and eco-friendly toiletries. Most Lotus Pads have a private terrace to soak up the fresh island air, meditate, relax, and take in the stunning natural surroundings. They’re conveniently located between the cafe and the yoga shalas, so you can recharge between classes.
With Vikasa's private beach just steps away from your cabana, you'll have direct access for early morning swims or late-night moongazing. Discover how nature can help ground you and make you feel at home in this small corner of paradise. Rise in the morning to the sound of the waves. These mid-sized free-standing cabanas offer all the basic creature comforts in a truly unique way. You'll feel miles away from home and closer to yourself than ever before.
Nestled right where the beach meets the jungle, you'll have the best of both worlds. These cabanas are a short walk from the beach, perfect for that mid-afternoon dip in the sea. Experience the most rustic and minimal accommodation and be free from distraction as you unwind and take in the inspiring surroundings from your own private terrace. Skip down to Vikasa's private beach and unwind with the sand between your toes. You'll have everything you need and nothing you don't. Release yourself from the fuss of urban life and get back to basics.
Rest and relax in a compact yet calming space that combines comfort and simplicity. Restful tones and natural materials channel through the room, drawing your thoughts inwards and your gaze outwards to the sea and meandering coastline. Caves are modest in size, with a single twin bed designed for solo journeys. The space may be small, but you won't feel caved-in, as sweeping ocean views give a sense of infinity. Each yoga cave is climate-controlled and has access to the shared but clean bathroom facilities right next to the block. Bathrobes and basic toiletries are provided.
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 that everyone is 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.
With flexible book-in dates open all year round, this is an invitation for you to come and retreat your way. Unlimited yoga classes in the ocean-front shalas, delicious, healthy gourmet cuisine, access to all Vikasa facilities, plus a like-minded, vibrant community all combine to make a Vikation a transformational and rejuvenating escape. Take a vacation that leaves you in better shape than before. Reignite your well-being, reconnect to your authentic self, and discover what true happiness feels like.
Discover your new home away from home at Vikasa, where you can focus solely on your growth in an idyllic environment. Enjoy the freedom and flexibility to join the yoga and meditation classes you choose to accelerate your path of transformation. You have unlimited access to all classes, which range in style and have world-class instructors and also include sound healing, ecstatic dance, and other special events. On a Vikation, your schedule can be as jam-packed and adventurous or as relaxed and rejuvenating as you wish.
Additional adventures around the island or relaxing spa treatments can all easily be organized for you as you please. Connect with like-minded people in a friendly global community and enjoy the exotic culture and breathtaking atmosphere of Koh Samui. Meaningful holidays lead to personal growth. Vikasa Signature Vikation is the perfect way to take a deep breath from life and return to society feeling more powerful than before. Reset your energy by experiencing the Vikasa Lifestyle and discovering how good you're really designed to feel.

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 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.

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.
Vikasa Yoga Retreat is located on the tropical island of Koh Samui in Thailand.
Koh Samui is 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.
Your Vikation includes delicious twice-daily meals: brunch served between 9:30 and 11am and dinner served between 6:30 and 8pm.
Brunch includes a variety of self-serve options with fresh tropical fruit, muesli and chia seed pudding or warm oats, fresh bread and homemade spreads, vibrant salads, dressings, and dips, plus your choice of a cook-to-order option including eggs your way, roasted or steamed vegetables, and scrambled tofu. Fresh coffee, tea, water, and juices are also included in brunch.
For dinner, each night has a different theme, including Thai, Middle Eastern, Italian, or Asian flavors. The self-serve options always include salad, soup, and a vegetarian dish, plus you will also enjoy a set meal such as Thai green curry with crispy tofu, Mexican corn tacos with refried beans, avocado, sour cream, and salsa, chickpea falafels with sesame hummus and steamed cauliflower, pasta with pesto, almonds, and green beans, and more delicious options, all of which are sustaining, healthy, and full of flavor. Meals are primarily plant-based, with some seafood options in the dinner menus. Gluten-free options are also available.
If you wish at any time to order extra meals or drinks throughout the day, there is a full a la carte menu at the Life Cafe open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. for orders every day.
The traditional heart of Bophut is a charming fishermen village on the east side of the beach. Enjoy walking the street bazaar every Friday for local shopping. If you want to try the local seafood, your fresh catch is prepared before your eyes. Chaweng is the largest and most popular of Koh Samui beaches. This is the longest beach on Samui and also the busiest tourist area with lots of shopping, dining, and nightlife.
Lamai is another nearby area situated along the second-biggest beach after Chaweng. It also has a shopping street with many shops and restaurants.
Vikasa’s very own bliss spa offers traditional and alternative healing therapies. The Thai massage is wonderfully therapeutic and relaxing. Massage services can range from gentle and relaxing to highly effective deep tissue massage. Your therapist can help with specific problem areas and help relieve stress-related blockages.
Just across the road from Vikasa, there is a traditional Muay Thai boxing school. Private or group Muay Thai lessons can be easily arranged. For those willing to try a new experience in the martial arts, Muay Thai provides an exciting contrast to yoga practice.
Optional activities can be booked through the resort to the local waterfalls, see a secret Buddha garden, visit the National Marine Park, explore the temples of Koh Samui, or meet local Buddhist monks. Many other exciting touring options are available by special request. You can take your group to a high-quality beach at sunrise or sunset for an unforgettable meditation and pranayama session.
Through the Vikasa voyage, they offer meaningful and conscious travel experiences. Connect with the local spirit of the island while leaving a positive mark on people and nature. The experiences range in activity and focus on areas of environmental consciousness, cultural exchange, and personal growth.
Vikasa Yoga Retreat aims to enhance the cultural integrity of the local people and minimize the adverse effects of traditional tourism on the natural environment. Most voyages are available on your day of choice. Some require special arrangements. Vikasa voyages are not included in the package price.
