Program
As a plant-based vegan diet can offer all the goodness you need for a healthy and balanced life, this unique retreat provides three daily all-vegan buffet meals that are constantly changing and provide guests with a truly global palate. Alongside daily classes, they offer an ever-changing variety of harmonizing workshops and events, and guests can also relax and renew with a Thai massage or choose an in-room treatment from the extensive, holistic healing treatment menu. Luxurious facilities also include an outdoor pool and an herbal steam sauna.
The retreat is all-vegan with three daily meals served buffet style. Each day in the beloved restaurant is like a trip around the world to new countries, with different cuisine styles offered every day of the week. Because Wonderland Healing Center believes that a love of food and a vegan belief system can easily coexist, you will find yourself tasting some of your favorite and all-time classic meals from Thai cuisine, Israeli, Indian, Italian, French, Moroccan, Argentinian, and more—adapted to a vegan menu.
The food in Wonderland is so good that it’s a highlight for both guests who have been living vegan for some time, as well as those who never considered making the switch. Everyone can find their favorite dish at every meal and will keep coming back for more. The journey you share with others in a yoga retreat bonds you like nothing else. Strangers become friends, inhibitions fall away, and you open yourself to sharing, learning with, and growing from other like-minded yogis and their life experiences.
For those wishing to reset their health with a detox program, the unparalleled tranquility of Wonderland provides you with the space to journey inward, renew, and refresh your body, mind, and spirit (in detox packages). During Wonderland’s yoga retreat, you can also enjoy harmonizing workshops, musical experiences, spiritual events, philosophy lectures, or even learn to practice Reiki healing.
The diverse schedule is designed to heal and empower you towards a new, attuned beginning, regardless of where you might feel on your journey. Alternatively, if you desire a more personalized program, Wonderland offers private one-on-one yoga sessions with bespoke instruction, along with complementary holistic treatments.
Classes are taught by the most experienced international teachers on the island that will assist you in establishing a daily routine of health and wellness or to deepen your existing yoga practice. Those seeking emotional balance and inner harmony, or wanting to develop a lasting meditation or mindfulness practice, will also benefit from twice-daily meditation classes that start at a beginner level and progresses to exploring some of the key Buddhist principles and teachings of self-compassion, impermanence, open-heartedness, and much more.
As a relaxing complement to your daily schedule, you can bask in the Thai herbal steam sauna or swim gentle laps in the swimming pool. For those wanting a little more activity, there are several stunning waterfall hikes nearby, not to mention pristine, white-sand beaches offering water sports or diving, and the majestic Khao Raa Mountain can be hiked from Wonderland’s backyard.
