Best experience for self care purposes!

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Jul 19, 2023via mobile
We stayed there for 5 nights and the experience was amazing! The team there from check ins to the restaurant to the spa were all so friendly and warm. We noticed that the other guests there were also so friendly as everyone is there for their self care needs and to get away from the everyday hustle and bustle for a while. The food and variety exceeded our expectations as they have items to cater for all dietary needs and it was all clean food with no compromise on flavor. The massages and facials were also fabulous. Everyone was so gentle during the sessions. We met with the in-house doctor (Dr. Uschi Hermann), who was so pleasant and specializes in Reiki healing. We also had a session with Dr. Leonard McGill, a chiropractor who I would recommend any day. They’re both so friendly and are filled with so much positivity and their work speaks for itself. If you’re looking for a place to get away from the noise and just want to take care of yourself, this is the place to go!

I spent a month in Absolute Sanctuary - I did the anti burnout and destress programme. It was such an incredible experience, I felt genuinely healed leaving. The yoga and fitness classes were excellent, the accommodation is lovely and very clean, and the beautiful infinity pool never felt over crowded. The treatments were amazing too- you haven’t lived until you’ve had a Thai stretch massage and herbal compress here! (There are lots of different alternative therapies available too- I would recommend hypnotherapy with Stefanie, yohti with Allen, reiki with ushi, and the ecstatic dance) There were shuttle buses every day going to the beach or the mall or the night market, in case you get cabin fever.
I think for me, the highlight of my stay was the staff. They were all so kind, friendly, and loving. I felt like they were my friends by the time I left.

The only slightly less-than-glowing things I would say is that while the food is fine/nice, it’s not overly exciting. (Although I did love my little healthy treat as part of my turn down service every evening) And the WiFi could be a little patchy at times but since I was there to cut off from the outside world, it didn’t bother me too much!

Other than that, I adored my time at Absolute Sanctuary and I cannot wait to return

This is my third time at Absolute Sanctuary and it just keeps getting better and better every time!! The resort is small and compact with everything you need! There are a variety of health and wellness options to choose from. I did the be fit program and am feeling great! The staff here is amazing from when you enter at reception, while you dine in the delicious restaurant (The Love Kitchen), in the spa, and the fitness trainers. I highly recommend this resort and have to many friends that also returned after their first trip! Absolute Sanctuary helped me decompress and get back to myself!

Absolute Sanctuary is absolutely a sanctuary to detox(literally) physically and mentally! From food to reformer pilates to healthy juices to Yoga to Massages and being surrounding by calming environment and awesome and kind staff, I do not have nothing to complain but praise! They have scheduled trips to beaches and markets too. Thank you Jee, for your diligence! Thank you all the managers for your customer service for professionalism and help.

I stayed here for nine nights and what an experience. Everything was perfect and the people were so kind. Many of the guests were returning clients which tells you a lot. It was so serene and relaxing. Mornings would start with an outdoor meditation at 8 o clock and then yoga, there were two yoga class’s per day, one easy and one a little bit harder.The food was very tasty and the two free juices daily were bliss. The treatments were probably the best I have had. I will be returning.

I took their short 3D2N weekend getaway package to “test” it out and I can only say that I am going to be their regular customer soon. The package I took includes a sampler range of yoga, Pilates , meals and massages and I enjoyed myself very much. The staff are friendly and helpful.
Room : very clean with all the basic necessities. What I like is their extra initiative to provide small praline to try.
Spa/ massage: I love their Absolute Thai Stretch massage!!
Environment : Beautiful white / light pink villa with a massive pool with surrounding greenery. The beach is nearby and they have free shuffle bus service.
Food: healthy range of greens, vegan , gluten free food, fruit juices. It is a wellness retreat so don’t except any deep fried.
Customer service: Excellent

Room tip: Bangkok Air flight not 100% confirmed. And traffic jam may occasionally occured if the queen visits the island.
