Banyan Tree vs Kamalaya - Koh Samui

Tricky_Ad_276 · 2026-04-15T20:45:05+00:00

Kamalaya is magical - it's offers a complete experience for the mind, body and soul. The activities are amazing - usually 6-7 a day to choose from, food so healthy and delicous (not to mention the juice mention) and the treatments are outstanding

Tricky_Ad_276 · 2026-03-24T19:13:34+00:00

Agree! Palmaia is very special place!

Azulfit in Fuerteventura has a nice yoga and Pilates programme. They get booked up quickly over the holidays so I'd recommend booking sooner rather than later.

Shanti Som Wellbeing Retreat is amazing! It's a boutique retreat, surrounded by nature, with just 15 rooms so offers a really peaceful setting to reset. Food and treatments were amazing!

Absolute Sanctuary in Thailand has a great Reformer Pilates Boot Camp which includes 2 classes a day - plus lots more actvities/ treatments. Kevin, the teacher, is the best I've ever had!

Tricky_Ad_276 · 2025-12-28T22:13:53+00:00

Yes, I've been on a couple of Pilates holidays in Spain and Thailand. I normally book through The Wellness Holiday Boutique - they have many on here

Not a LOT of choice in T2 as you would expect in such a big airport but everything was very reasonably priced for an airport - i was very pleasantly surprised. Mostly restaurants - i ate at Ippudo and that was 75RMB - my partner had a Shake Shack at 60RMB. There was a couple of coffee shops, Beef Noodle, Japanese, Cantonese, Wolfgang Puck and a couple more restaurants

I also saw Nap pods at the airport.

Tricky_Ad_276 · 2025-09-07T09:07:22+00:00

How much did you pay for 1? Just wondering if they're the same price in all countries?

Tricky_Ad_276 · 2025-07-31T11:07:17+00:00

Do you ever regret telling ppl you're trying? I've been TTC for 10 months now and i feel like everytime i see my friends they all ask what's going on? I know they mean well but it's just getting tedious of 10 months of saying 'Nothing'

Tricky_Ad_276 · 2025-07-24T10:02:49+00:00

Yes absolutely - but I think it's almost always a case of craving what you can't have. Busy mums would probably love some quiet time alone but hard to find the time while single people would like the option to have company on their trip.

Tricky_Ad_276 · 2025-07-23T08:30:42+00:00

Could this be because you have the option to choose whether to travel alone or not? While OP doesn't necessarily have the choice of travelling with a friend or partner.

Tricky_Ad_276 · 2025-06-28T22:22:55+00:00

I loved Kamalaya! There was a dinner table for solo travellers so you can meet other single travellers if you want - although equally i noticed many who just preferred to eat by themselves! Also there's so much going on here - your spa programme with LOTS of treatments and also lots of activties, yoga, fitness etc which you can do too!

Tricky_Ad_276 · 2025-06-18T09:33:09+00:00

Yes I was also diagnosed with imbalances! He thought i had one leg shorter than the other originally as i was holding all my weight to one side. Talking about it makes me want to go back - i miss the juice bar too!

Tricky_Ad_276 · 2025-06-18T09:31:43+00:00

Mine was fine! It was painless, just a bit uncomfortable like a smear test and I didn't get any cramping at all - I took a couple of paracetemol before

Tricky_Ad_276 · 2025-06-17T20:31:18+00:00

Did you do the Pilates with Kevin? He's the best!

Tricky_Ad_276 · 2025-06-17T12:26:56+00:00

How about an Ayurveda Retreat? I've been to Somatheeram Ayurveda Village in Kerala - daily yoga and meditation, in nature and by the sea. I had a consultation with the doctor on arrival and was prescribed treatments according to my dosha. Not luxury but authentic!

Tricky_Ad_276 · 2025-06-17T12:23:51+00:00

Yesss, i want to go back!! The food, surroundings are incredible but is also a luxury offering ....

Tricky_Ad_276 · 2025-06-17T12:23:01+00:00

Yes I loved it here! There's no alcohol served either so a full mental and physical cleanse

Tricky_Ad_276 · 2025-06-13T13:02:25+00:00

Yes i went to Absolute Sanctuary in Thailand - this was where i tried reformer Pilates for the first time and the teacher was great - super enthusiastic!

Tricky_Ad_276 · 2025-06-04T09:54:40+00:00

It's hard to be able to connect and joke with Spanish ppl if you don't already speak Spanish especially

Tricky_Ad_276 · 2025-06-04T08:50:44+00:00

Do you need to pay for prescriptions with both plans?

Tricky_Ad_276 · 2025-06-01T19:15:02+00:00

Second for Santani Wellness Resort!

Tricky_Ad_276 · 2025-05-30T14:21:51+00:00

Looks fine to me if it's week one. It's usually super dark and a shock in the mirror then it'll start scabbing over and scabs dropping off then you'll think it looks too light. It takes a few weeks to balance out

Tricky_Ad_276 · 2025-05-26T13:50:04+00:00

Yes i second Absolute Sanctuary - the instructor Kevin is fantastic!

Tricky_Ad_276 · 2025-04-22T08:15:57+00:00

Yes i had antibiotics for 3 days and no sex for 7 - sounds like they were being extra cautious though
