Stepping off the plane in Koh Samui, we were immediately welcomed by balmy temperatures in the high 20s—a refreshing contrast to the chilly Australian winter we'd left behind. After a seamless transfer, we arrived at our beachfront home for the next two nights, Banana FanSea Resort on the beautiful Chaweng Beach.
Perfectly positioned on one of Koh Samui's most picturesque stretches of coastline, Banana FanSea offered pristine white sands, crystal-clear waters and a relaxed tropical atmosphere. The resort featured a stunning pool, an excellent beachfront restaurant and was conveniently located close to local shops—ideal for anyone wanting to indulge in a little souvenir shopping or explore the vibrant surrounds.
Our journey then continued with another effortless transfer to the award-winning Kamalaya Wellness Sanctuary, an idyllic retreat nestled amongst lush tropical gardens with breathtaking views over the Koh Samui coastline. This tranquil sanctuary would be our home for the next five nights and provided the perfect setting to unwind, recharge and reconnect.
Each day offered a wonderful balance of relaxation and wellness. Included in our stay was an impressive selection of treatments, from traditional Thai massage and Indian head massage to restorative Asian hand therapies. We also embraced a variety of holistic activities including meditation, breathwork, yoga, Pilates and aqua aerobics, allowing everyone to tailor their own wellness journey.
The culinary experience was equally exceptional. Every meal showcased fresh, wholesome ingredients with a diverse menu inspired by flavours from around the world. We could choose from an extensive à la carte menu or specially designed wellness menus focused on detoxification and healthy living, all complemented by an enticing range of fresh juices and beautifully crafted mocktails.
By the end of the retreat, I think it's fair to say every one of us returned home feeling rejuvenated, refreshed and completely relaxed—a true reminder of the restorative power of taking time to invest in your wellbeing.
A fabulous trip for the Sisterhood Ladies
