Vikasa Yoga Retreat, Lamai Beach (Koh Samui)

Vikasa offers a unique experience with a rich yoga program and beautiful sea views, but it has some drawbacks. The atmosphere is truly special, and the staff were genuinely welcoming, making my stay enjoyable. However, the accommodation feels dated and could use some renovations, while the noise from the nearby parties can disrupt the tranquil vibe one would expect at a yoga retreat.

Vikasa Yoga Retreat is an incredible destination for those seeking balance and relaxation, perched beautifully by the seaside. The instructors are knowledgeable and create a supportive environment for yoga practice, while the dining experience is exceptional, serving healthy and delicious meals with stunning views. However, the hike up the 160+ steps can be challenging at times, and some facilities may feel basic compared to the luxurious setting.

This resort boasts stunning views, especially from the restaurant, where I enjoyed meals that matched the ambiance. The yoga sessions were a highlight, held in a serene setting that complemented the relaxation aspect of the stay. While the rooms were comfortable, I found the bed slightly hard for my taste. The limited drink options at the restaurant were a bit of a letdown, but overall, it was a fantastic experience worth recommending.

My stay at this resort spa was truly rejuvenating, with stunning ocean views and a beautifully designed space. The yoga classes were a highlight, led by knowledgeable instructors, although I did encounter one that felt a bit imbalanced. The food was excellent, making it worth every penny, but I did think the vegetarian options could benefit from more variety. The location is peaceful and intimate, perfect for unwinding, yet there's room for improvement in instructor training to maintain the high standards expected.

I just returned from an unforgettable week at this beautiful resort! The stunning ocean views and the clean, comfortable accommodations made for a truly relaxing experience. The yoga classes were excellent, especially the morning sessions in the breathtaking white Shala. While the vegetarian menu was surprisingly good, the lack of room service might be a drawback for some. Overall, it’s an amazing value for a wellness retreat, but if you're looking for luxury in your accommodation, you might be slightly disappointed.
