To begin, let's dispel a common misunderstanding: self-care is not selfish or synonymous with self-indulgence. In fact, it is quite the opposite. Practicing self-care entails prioritizing your own needs so that you may focus on those of others and get everything done that you set out to do each day.
You're correct if you think you're hearing more about the importance of prioritizing self-care these days. According to Google Trends, interest in "self-care" has increased by 200% since 2015.
However, it is often difficult to get into the flow of self-care when you've got the stresses of daily life lingering around you. That's why retreats focused on prioritizing wellness by getting you to formulate the proper habits through practice are so helpful.
While you're at it, why not self-indulge and make your wellness retreat for self-care a luxurious one? That way, you'll be sure to enjoy every second of being healthy, making it more likely to stick to your new-found lifestyle when you're back home again.
Without further ado, we found a few fantastic choices of luxury, total self-care retreats in Koh Samui, where you can enroll any day you want. So, no more excuses; plan to get healthy during your next vacation!

Absolute Sanctuary's 62-Day Absolute Lifestyle Change Yoga Retreat
The goal of this retreat is to bring out the best in you. Participate in restorative pursuits and adjust your health objectives accordingly. Use all the methods available to you to improve your health and achieve a state of mental and physical equilibrium. Enjoy the cultural and spiritual adventures as you rest easy and rejoice in the process of self-improvement that lies ahead. You'll gain a wealth of new information and feel more prepared to take on the world.
Various comfortable room types are available at Absolute Sanctuary, from superior rooms to suites. The 38 rooms at Absolute Sanctuary take their design cues from Morocco's exotic and beautiful architecture. Moroccan carpets, carefully chosen ornaments, and art pieces make the space feel like a warm and welcoming second home.
In the five separate structures that make up Absolute Sanctuary, guests can pick a room type that meets their needs and budget. All the rooms are smoke-free and feature a terrace or balcony with a view of the ocean or a swimming pool. Room amenities include a private bathroom, climate control, a ceiling fan, a desk, a safe, a hair dryer, cable TV, a telephone, a tea/coffee maker, and a kettle. Guests can also request an iron and ironing board.
Absolute Sanctuary offers two purpose-built yoga studios with all the necessary amenities. The Absolute Sanctuary Jungle Studio is heated and ventilated to perfection and can accommodate up to 50 mats.
The Pool Studio at Absolute Sanctuary can fit 46 mats. It features stunning views of the pool and the ocean. It has a DVD player and a projection screen, making it suitable for workshops and lectures. Different use of each studio is possible for smaller training groups or breakout sessions. Studios have central air conditioning, sound systems, and windows that reach from floor to ceiling. Yoga props such as mats, blocks, belts, and meditation cushions are supplied.
The first phase is to purge accumulated toxins and get insight into who you are by clearing your thoughts and detoxifying your body. To kick off your regimen, you will try fasting and detoxing to eliminate lingering poisons and release stagnant energy. Then, with the support of the staff at Absolute Sanctuary, you can focus on reestablishing personal connections, recommitting to health goals, and clarifying long-term aspirations.
Phase two is transformation. You've arrived at this stage of the process feeling revitalized, ready to begin forming and mastering new, positive lifestyle habits. The mental-physical link is emphasized more during this stage. You are setting up routines that teach you to be "mindful" and kind to your physical self, mental processes, and emotional states. In this stage, you will start exercising and moving your body in a more targeted environment. The wide range of options means that you may dive deep into any given practice, laying a solid foundation upon which to build in the future.
The third stage is called "Anew." It consists of rejoicing in one's newfound identity, embracing oneself, and delighting in cultural and spiritual adventures. Upon entering this phase, you should feel the cumulative effects of all your prior training and therapy, including a positive feeling of being energized, powerful, and transformed. You'll have more time for play and relaxation as the program winds down, allowing you to reveal your evolving identity. During this stage, you'll use a symbolic act of releasing to rid yourself of undesirable habits and receive a monk's blessing to usher in your newfound self. This week marks a culmination of your efforts, solidifying and integrating them within you. You'll walk out feeling strong and prepared to take on the world.

Absolute Retreat Center's 9-Day Modified Detox and Yoga Holiday
If you're new to detoxing or need more time to commit to daily colonics, you'll appreciate our tweaks to Absolute Sanctuary's detox program. This trademark program features options for vegetarian detox and living food diets. Without the commitment of daily colon hydrotherapy treatments and a complete fasting program, it gives a taste of what to expect from a comprehensive detox program.
You will experience effective and quick weight loss without the dangers. By the second day of your detox, you will begin to feel your biochemistry stabilizing and the excess weight falling off as toxins are flushed out of the system, and the body returns to a state of chemical balance.
You will notice an improvement in skin clarity and radiance. This is because when harmful substances are eliminated from the body, the pores open, and the skin can breathe more efficiently, resulting in a radiant complexion.
Your energy levels will naturally increase as your metabolic rate, and hormone levels begin normalizing.
You will notice enhanced intestinal health and bowel regularity. Because your body is better able to absorb and assimilate nutrients while you cleanse, your elimination system will speed up. Once you've completed your detox, you'll be astounded by how much flatter your stomach is and how much more at ease you feel.
Your improved health will shine through your eyes. Toxic effects can be seen in dark circles beneath the eyes and bloodshot eyes. So it's only natural for your eyes to get whiter and brighter as your body purges itself of pollutants. You will feel refreshed, and your eyes will glow from day two of your cleanse.
You can 'pre-cleanse' your body with three to four liters of filtered water per day, reduce the amount of processed foods you eat, simplify the foods you eat, and start eliminating meat, dairy, bread, sugar, caffeine, and alcohol from your diet around one to two weeks before starting the program.
Although not strictly required, this is strongly suggested. Don't have any crazy parties the night before you come. Recognize and respect your body and your will to enhance your wellbeing and quality of life. Before beginning any fasting or detox program, it is recommended that you speak with your doctor.
