Visit Natural Detox Resort

I rarely return to the same place twice — but VNDR was the exception. I came back this year with one of my now best friends, whom I actually met here during my stay last year. That probably says everything about the kind of place this is. What makes VNDR so special is the sense of community. It is no surprise that so many people come back for a 2nd, 3rd, 4th or even 5th stay. I also love their “You do you” approach. Whether you want to go all in with hiking, strength training, Muay Thai, breathwork, meditation, ice baths and activities, or prefer a slower pace, the programme genuinely works for everyone. No pressure, no judgment. The staff are incredibly kind and truly make the stay special. Everything is very clean and well looked after. The rooms have everything you need. And then there is Wild Tribe Café — honestly, some of the best food on Koh Samui in my opinion. Fresh, delicious, beautifully prepared and clearly made with a lot of care. The menu is so extensive that even after staying several weeks, you won’t get bored. Bonus tip: the massage place directly opposite VNDR became one of the highlights of my stay too. If you are looking for a place focused on community, wellbeing, movement and amazing food — this is it.

Amazing retreat, I really enjoyed my time and would have loved to extend if I had the time. The staff is absolutely incredible. They made me feel like I was coming home from the first minute. The schedule is very diverse, something that really stood out to me compared to many other options. I really enjoyed the combination of morning hikes, yoga and strength training. The staff facilitating those sessions is very knowledgeable and delivered fantastic sessions. And finally the food was just amazing! Such a variety of healthy and delicious dishes. I can recommend it to everyone and hope to come back one day.

My time here was simply amazing! The program has a wide range of activities, from hikes, bike rides, yoga, full body workouts, breath-work, meditation to traditional Muay Thai. As a beginner the intensity was always fine tuned to my level and gradually challenges were introduced. The staff were so accommodating and helpful. The cleaners Ferry and Phon always smiling and wishing all a good morning, the reception staff always available and the Wild Tribe Café crew always caring and service minded. Special mentions go to the trainers Netta and Taylor. Both are good company, knowledgeable and very dedicated. More importantly both helped me achieve my fitness goals, always gently pushing me to the next level. This included Netta setting the tempo during my last hike up the mountain and in turn me breaking my personal record. Originally I booked for 4 weeks and I ended up staying 9 weeks… I believe that says it all! In short, I highly recommend!
