Santosa Detox & Wellness Center

Do not stay at this hotel! One of the worst hotel stays I’ve ever experienced. No hot water, no air conditioning, we were told that most of the treatments were unavailable because it was the off season and we had to book a week in advance (no mention of this on their website). We get back to the hotel at about midnight and the key didn’t work. Reception closes after dark so if you need any help you have to wait for someone to come from their home to assist. Manager was not helpful at all. There’s a 3hour wait time on responses from the business account on WhatsApp. It was impossible to book a treatment or find out any information without enduring an 800m walk with steep inclines even though I had the manager, receptionist and business account on WhatsApp. The receptionist was extremely rude and unhelpful. If you want a relaxing get away, I highly recommend CC’s Hideaway it’s about 1.5km from Santosa and it is much better value for money. I would not allow even my worst enemy to book at santosa

I felt like the whole set up was a complete rip off. I didnt even get a room at the resort but was placed in a room at 500 meters from the resort. They couldn´t care less about me and their dedication was way below par. I left after two days feeling completely disillusioned. Loads of money for an absolute poor programm. Please dont go here.

Santosa Wellness resort has been an outstanding experience for me and my mom. This is my 3rd full / juice fasting retreat in Thailand and I am so happy to have chosen this new location for me. One of the best parts of the retreat is the thoughtful, caring, professional and almost family like approach of all staff. They are organized, everything is under control, yet they remain flexible. At the end of our 8 day fast, I had too much mucus plaque to call is quits, so decided to continue – Sheryl has allowed me to continue doing 1 more colonics and given me the last implant home with take away final food. One day we went out and skipped some program parts, the staff has allowed us to postpone the massage with no charge and did a special 2 hour session for my mom the next day. The staff at the restaurant are absolutely fantastic. While we didn’t manage to enjoy much for the food, we had our last dinner before fast and it was beyond delicious, fresh, beautiful. We had multiple teas / day though during our fast and all choices were delicious. The fruit juices that my mom was given was fresh and very tasty, made with love. 2 coconut juices helped to keep our electrolytes in check. Colonics were well organized and the facilities for it were great – you could take a shower after and everything was super clean and well run. Ice bath was one of the highlights, along with steam back helped to revive at night. One of the highlights was the training / fitness program – the resort had a variety of professional high quality trainers that taught very fun classes like Zumba, aerial yoga, Nidra yoga, fit ball, breathing. Its important to keep active during your fasting days and having so many options (3 classes / week day and 2 / weekend), it an excellent way to keep your mind off your fast! There was also a gym which we never got to use, but its an option as well. The service is fantastic, the views from the restaurant for sunset and sunrise were stunning and I can’t be more happier. WE also had a great trip to Big Buddha organized by the center and daily trip to the beach. Overall, it’s a 10 start experience, above and beyond my expectation. The whole program is very well thought out and can be catered individually. This is a gem of a complete detox and wellness center which I am so grateful for discovering. Compared to other options, I found it to be the best price to quality offering. The rooms for the resort are also nice and very affordable with incredible views for the sunrise. I am very sad to leave and I definitely want to come back!

We did a one day relax package at 1500 baht it was exceptional value for money. All staff were lovely and very committed to health. The vegan food and juices were world class! Our package included breathwork, meal and juice, a massage and a hot sauna and ice plunge. A very full day. I did a healing treatment with Karn and she was exceptional and very gifted. After having had two recent operations she identified my health issues within the first few minutes of the session and after the treatment the area that had been numb in my abdomen for over 6 months post surgery was completely gone - that’s after only one treatment and she gave me a number of things to follow up with on my return home. She is the real deal as far as “healers” go and this retreat was excellent values for money. A must try for anyone seeking health improvement!

The hospitality of all staff at Santosa is impeccable. Everyone was so fríendly, nice and professional. The premises were clean and the rooms comfortable. The restaurant served delicious vegan food which we tried before our 3 day juice fast. The juices served for the juice fast were tasty and varied. On top of 5 juices, we got a coconut after every colema and hot broth in the evening. There was a massage and other activities every day. With so much to do and drink we had no time to feel hungry or bored. If you're thinking of trying a detox program, don't hesitate, go to Santosa.

I had booked this retreat and paid a deposit just before the pandemic hit in Jan 2020, and at the beginning of the pandemic the staff were still very helpful, ensuring that I could reschedule or refund. After that they just completely ignored my email and while I understand there was lockdown, I did try to follow up and still there was no reply. I reached out again in 2022 and still was completely ignored. I am quite disappointed about the experience as I was really looking forward to go and have been promised I could get a refund.

Outstanding!!! I came for a full fast. It was above all my expectations. Having done detox centers in the US, this by far was superior. From beginning to end I wouldn’t change a thing. The night before my fast started I had a Cesar salad/sauce was cashew based and mushroom resoto. Both to die for. The center is set in the jungle with breath taking views of the ocean and giant Buddha. The program itself was fantastic. Fresh raw juices, variety of classes, The best massages (Emi was so good I extended my time), colema (colonics), sauna/ice bath, sprinkled with beach visits and hikes to giant Buddha. The staff is extremely accommodating. They r also efficient, knowledgeable, caring. I can’t say enough about them. I wish I could take them all home. I’m planning my next visit already. Going to end with a few days of raw food and vegetarian cooking class which I didn’t have time for this time.

I have visited this place a lot of times and find that the sauna here really good. So it was really terrible when i came here from Bang Tao but it was closed twice !!! You have to call them first for check availability ...

I have visited a lot of sauna spots on Phuket island and have to say that this one is really good. You can find here renovated steam room and ice bath (just about 5 p.m.). Problem is sometimes steam room lemongrass smells like not fresh ... And fresh apple juice from bar was perfect.
