New Leaf is Thailand's only 100% dedicated weight loss detox and Wellness Resort. Opened February 2019 we offer 'all inclusive' single and couples packages. Located on beautiful Maenam beach on Ko Samui we have a 25-meter saltwater pool, gym, full spa services and medical clinic on a 3-acre flat property.
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travelers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
I have previously been to New Leaf Wellness resort in Koh Samui but it was at their previous location in 2017-2018. I had such a wonderful experience that I decided to bring my mother and brother along with me on this trip to their new location. All I can say is wow! What an amazing property and facility.I literally felt like I was in a 5 star resort. From the moment you step into the property you can just feel the good vibes. The staff, the cleanliness and the welcome makes you feel right at home. The structured program is great because you have a daily schedule of activities but still have a lot of time to explore the island and do may activities of your own. You don’t feel stuck in the facility. I spent over a month there so that was a big bonus, we got to explore alot of the island. Another thing that was great was that all the guest were very friendly, there were many great conversations as everyone was from different parts of the world and all there for the same reason. There was alot of support from the owner Air, she is wonderful, and from the staff, Sam, Pom, Charlie, Banana, Ti, and many more than made the stay very comfortable. It’s definitely a place I will continue to come every year. I highly recommend New Lead Wellness Resort to anyone who needs a recharge or a boost. By the way, I lost 20 pounds in just over 30 days and feel like a new person. Thank you

I was at new leaf in July/Aug of 2021. I underwent a 2 week Quarentine in bangkok and then headed to new leaf for 28 days. I was the only person there the entire time minus one week where Thajis ,the trainer, and Lauren were there. It was a wonderful experience that i would love to do again. Origionally when I found the resort I was attracted to it for it's great price, variety of nutrition ( juice, smoothies, and soups: instead of the crazy restrictive other detoxes I have seen that I knew i would quit), and the fitness aspect ( yoga, water arobics, gym, and daily walks). At that time in spring 2020 I needed to loose at least 30 lbs(15kg) and planned on going Aug 2020. Because of covid those plans fell through and my stay was delayed. By the time I arrived I had already went from 100kg to 80 kg and didn't need to loose weight when I arrived. I was looking forward to working my foot back up through low impact activities (my foot had been in pain for the past two years as I had three stress fractures that still bothered me ), detoxing for my health, and testing myself mentally to prove to myself that I could stick with the detox the entire 28days. During the time at the resort I was tended to greatly by Banana and Mimi who were amazing and friendly. Banana lead me on the daily walks and was the main contact I had for anything. Mimi would cover for Banana on the days he had off. She also administered the 3 collagen IV treatments I had. By the time the detox was finished I had lost about 10 kg, my foot was in a lot less pain and I felt overall healthier. Things I most looked forward to were the daily walks, the coffee colema ( i thought I would dislike this When I origionally arrived) , and the soups for dinner. The first 16 days were wonderful for me and then from day 16-28 I had less energy and was really tested mentally making it to the end. By day 28 I was excited to eat and so proud of myself for accomplishing the 28days without cheating. I can't wait to come back in the future !
Things I enjoyed most: Daily walks, Soups, Steam room , Daily colema, Daily massage, the Beauty of the resort, the friendly staff, daily room refresh, the quiet room(It has a bookshelf with many books you can read, I read a few and left a few as well)
Things I didn't like so much: The infrared sauna (I'm just not a huge fan although it is expressly benificial ) The liver flush ( it's a detoxification, the rewards were worth the downsides. I did two of them) Taking so many showers :)
Also you get plenty of towels ( there was another review that said you didn't) The beds are wonderful (bamboo brand) and do not compare to anyplace i have stayed since. The rooms are mosquito free I rarely was bit while on the detox. I do suggest bringing bug spray for the waterfall hike as that is when I was bitten the most. The resort is ocean front and opened in 2019 so it is new and gorgeous.

I was feeling incredibly stressed, over weight and had stopped exercising for approx 8 months due to a few physical issues. I was having a chat with a friend and he said a mate of his was feeling the same and to New Leaf as a bit of a re set and came back feeling completely different. I thought it would be great to have a re set for the start of 2020 and so wanted to go before all the business year started up. I went with my wife for a week and the difference is how I feel now is profound. Yes I lost just over 4kgs so my suits feel good again but I also was able to start exercising again. The food is amazing and I never felt hungry once during the week and also didnt miss drinking my beers and wine. It still felt like we were on a luxury holiday and not like a boot camp at all which I was surprised at. The staff are so caring and available and you can do as much or little as you wanted to but I enjoyed all the activities so really enjoyed filling my days up and still had plenty of chill out time. The owners have obviously done this for a long time as everything was on point and the new facilities were 5 star. Cannot recommend it enough and I have implemented plenty of changes to my daily lifestyle now that I am back home and back at work. James - Sydney

My second time at New leaf, but my first time at the new resort. It’s a tranquil very well designed resort that has accommodation for the budget conscious to the discerning traveler with the luxury loft rooms.
I enjoyed my first visit, however this trip took the experience to a whole different level.
All the team are truly incredible, and strike the perfect balance of professionalism and authentic warmth and care. I really want to give Bow a shout out, she was so encouraging, inspirational, and always had a big smile!
The schedule can be as busy or as relaxed as you want, I particularly loved the walks and Ts water aerobic classes which I did and looked forward to everyday.
Never felt hungry or lacked energy, in fact exactly the opposite!
After two weeks, I left New Leaf feeling mentally and physically stronger, even though I was a bit teary when It was time to say goodbye ( but for all the right reasons)
Embrace the program, give it your all and you’re guaranteed to have a rewarding wonderful experience.

Wow caught in Koh Samui during the lockdown in Thailand I was lucky enough to be able to complete a 28 day detox. Thanks to Air and KP for keeping the resort open and the staff for looking after me, times are tough all over the world and to be able to spend time at New leaf was incredible. My last visit was 3 years ago and how things have changed the new resort is spectacular the whole experience has only got better. You feel like you are in a 5 star resort amongst what I can only say is a spectacular garden, massive pool, relaxing sauna /steam room and a great gym. I have to get myself one of those mattresses. Being only 1 of 2 guests here (Hi Rick) we where challenged most morning to new and bloody steep walks getting to see some of the most beautiful sights of Koh Samui that people only normally see on a postcard. Appreciate you taking the extra effort in torturing us KP. Haha loved it. A huge thanks to everyone at New leaf for including me in helping with the community giving, a fantastic job through your own selfless donation and setting up a go fund me page giving over 2000 kg of rice, eggs and oil to the most affected families in Koh Samui. JOB WELL DONE. Its like a ghost town in a lot of areas here and Covid19 has affected Koh Samui hugely lets hope the world opens again and people return to paradise. Can’t wait to come again maybe only 7 days next time, I am going to go and enjoy a quite spot on the beach and have a nice papaya salad. Thank for making my detox enjoyable everyone.
Cheers Gary

Hi Gary, CRAZY TIMES!!! for sure but it was so good having you 'locked down' with us. Thank you so much for helping us with the two really successful community food donations. Koh Samui, as you know, was hit really hard as 95% of the population rely on tourism which is non-existent. Thanks to people like yourself for helping out, it really made a difference. We hope to have you back in the future. Take care Air

I stayed for 17 days from 16 Nov. to 3 Dec. 21, total 17 days and lost 7.4 kg or 16.3 lbs. almost a pound a day.
And there were another 12 persons I met there and everyone had similar or better than my success story of loosing weight.
Air, the owner and CEO, has devised a very real scientific system and everyone do their part voluntarily.
New Leaf resort is in beautiful setting on beach and lush green garden and very polite and professional staff ready to help you 24/7.
I am 73 and had tried every loss weight system but this one is real one and if you follow, after coming home, you will continuously loose weight as they give you in writing how to continue healthy and fit life.
I recommend every hopeless persons to try this New Leaf wellness resort, see favorite numbers on weighing machine in a week and more in weeks.

This was my first visit to New leaf Detox, I had always wanted to come to a Detox resort, after selling my business in June 2019 after 15 years of hard work and no time for myself. I was planing 2020, however like us all Covid changed many things. Air and her team are absolutely amazing, everything is attention to detail, from cleanliness to schedule and how on the nutrition side it is scientifically worked out for the right nutrients during weight loss. So much to do, however its up to you how much activity you do, I really enjoyed the Aqua aerobics, using the gym and walks on the beach. The liver cleanse was my breakthrough as I understood and felt the benifits, once you have had a liver flush your body works like a brand new engine and weight loss flows.. Its not pleasant the liver flush, however you are in the right place to do it. I stayed 2 weeks and lost 5.5 kg and 19cm, my skin also looks amazing. I wish I could have stayed another week, I will be back soon maybe February. Thank you again to Air and her team Pom, Bow, Sam, Jing and all the others, my heart is full with gratitude. I would highly recomend New Leaf without a doubt.

Having detoxed in 5 different resorts in Samui over the years, with weight loss / general fitness/ health being my prime focus on each occasion, there is absolutely no doubt that New Leaf has created the perfect environment to achieve these goals. Many detox centres focus on savage reduction in calories, heavily watered down juices, broths etc, not only do these get very boring very quickly, they also mean rebuilding a healthy exercise regime during your detox is not possible as there is no "fuel in the tank" to workout and I found I put weight back on far too quickly post detox.
New Leaf has a much better strategy, provide delicious juices and supplements, power walks in the morning, daily water aerobics ( surprisingly great workout ! 😀 ) and afternoon gym and yoga sessions. The 25m pool is great to do some laps in the afternoon, with umbrellas and sun loungers to relax in the sun after your daily exercise !
The daily massage is great, and the Steam Room and Infra-red Sauna complete a perfect environment to break out of bad habits !
The centre is well designed, spotlessly clean, with nice rooms, great beds & linen and the staff are all lovely, friendly and helpful.
My 14 day detox resulted in over 10kg weight loss, stronger more toned muscles and significant improvement in my fitness levels, I have found my perfect detox centre !
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

If you are in dire need for a detox and reset after the last couple of years of being cooped up & locked down, New Leaf is the most perfect place to spend a few weeks & get back to your pre-pandemic self!
While travel to Thailand may still seem a bit complicated, the owner (Air) and staff are extremely helpful, and will hand hold you throughout the application or visa process as needed. From pickup at the airport to setting into the resort, I felt very safe & taken care of!
The juices and soups served tasted even more fresh & delicious than I recalled from past visits. The warmth of the local, Thai staff & their hospitality and gratitude for returning to the resort really touched my heart as well.
I felt the stress melt away from my body and the weight of the world lifted from my shoulders. I slept so well and peacefully .... I realized that emotional nourishment is just as important in a detox program as nutrition & movement.
I really enjoyed being outdoors so much as well as the morning daily walks. Floating in the salt water pool in the middle of the day felt like such a treat. And I never missed a gym, yoga or muay thai session either. We take so much for granted, but not being able to engage in these activities freely in the last 2 years, has given me a newfound sense of appreciation.
I really felt rejuvenated & ready to take on the world again after a few weeks at New Leaf. It was the foundation I needed to slide back into my routine again now that New York City (home for me) is open again.
So all I can say to you is if you're thinking about it, don't hesitate: just GO! You won't regret it. It's truly the perfect indulgence and recovery for both your mind and body .... and we ALL deserve and need that, especially now after the crazy couple of years we've had thrown at us

I have recently finished a 20 day detox at New Leaf and came out refreshed, slimmer (8.4 kg loss), more toned and super healthy. It was an amazing experience and something that I would like to do again. The staff are wonderful and very accomodating. Thank you to Tee, Sam, Pom, Banana, Ying, Sky, Charlie, Keng and Oil. I have also been very fortunate to have met many wonderful guests that I now called friends. If you are hesitating on going to New Leaf - just do it! Thanks Air and KP for making it possible. I hope to see you in the not so distant future.

Sorry for the late reply. We don't seem to get any notification from this platform when there is a post, strange ;-). No, you aren't confined to the Resort when you detox and there is a free weekly half-day Island tour from the Resort. Many guests who want to look around Thailand do so before their detox then they head home from New Leaf on track and ready to focus on their new lifestyle. I hope that helps and do enjoy Amazing Thailand and stay well. Air - Owner New Leaf Detox Resort
