Tamarind Retreat

Words Used To Describe This Gem Of A Retreat Are – heavenly, mystical, magical, inspiring nature, and wonderfully healing. And you will understand why this back-to-nature relaxation oasis tucked away into the hills in Lamai, southeastern Ko Samui, evokes a sense of calm and serenity as soon as you pull up into its property. There are more greens than there are buildings for one. People speak in whisper tone, classical music is in the air, birds are chirping – you simply cannot help but feel more relaxed and in touch with nature and yourself here. The style is quintessential tropical Asian where thatched roof villas and sales are scattered amongst a lush garden landscape.

At TAMARIND RETREAT, there is strong philosophy of rejuvenation and relaxation of body, mind and soul not just from its beautiful natural surroundings but also the rituals of herbal steam baths and massages as well as scheduled holistic classes on Yoga, Qi Gong and Tai Chi. The owners have stuck firmly to their beliefs on this holistic approach to their spa retreat operation over the years refusing to follow the trends of contemporary spas with extensive spa treatments but instead focusing on their key strengths, which clearly speak for itself. There are many beautiful spots in and around the Retreat to be discovered as you walk along flagstone paths passing by big granite boulders and a plethora of flowering plants and fruit bearing trees.
There are eight villas with their own distinctive designs and features built in and around centuries-old trees and rocks available for long-term lease or a five-day minimum stay.

Tamarind Retreat will soon be introducing special three-day packages in the near future to fulfill demands of regional vacationers seeking weekend retreats.

The famously photographed herbal steam bath built within two giant rocks with an adjoining dip pool outside is an aweinspiring sight as you descend down the stone steps leading to this dramatic water feature – rainwater cascades down like a waterfall into the pool. Emerging from the steam bath, rinse off with water from a large earthen urn and delight in a truly exotic and sensual experience.
