Three of Asia’s Best Yoga Retreats

Luckily for us, some of the world’s great yoga retreats are located in Asia, particularly in Thailand. If you want to take your practice outside of the studio these three will invigorate your mind, body and soul.

Personal yoga synergy at Kamalaya

Kamalaya’s yoga package is available year-round and includes one-to-one yoga sessions, wellness treatments, Ayurveda therapies, three detox meals a day and all the green-juice your heart desires. Individual guests can choose from three, five or seven nights or join one of the Ying & Yang Yoga Immersion group retreats with Simon Low. Expect to feel emotionally and physically rejuvenated after a break at this award-winning wellness sanctuary and holistic spa resort in Koh Samui.

Yoga for life at Chiva-Som

Chiva-Som in Hua Hin attracts affluent and famous wellness tourists who relish privacy and serenity. Customisation is key, and guests receive complimentary health and wellness consultations upon arrival to ensure total lifestyle transformations. The ‘Yoga for Life’ programmes span from three to 14 nights and include yoga classes, treatments, meditation and pranayama sessions, daily wellness treatments and wellness-cuisine meals. The state-of-the-art retreat centre has an extensive treatment menu ranging from traditional Ayurveda therapies to high-tech remedies that will leave you glowing.

Yoga wellness package at Amatara

Daily physical asana practice, meditation, philosophy, mindfulness, healthy meals and wellness treatments are all part of this grounding retreat in Phuket. It’s perfect if you want to delve a little bit deeper into your yoga journey, and the practices have been known to alleviate fatigue, stress, insomnia and even digestive issues. Amatara is close to local attractions like temples and crystal-clear diving sites, and is one of the few luxury retreats that has a designated kids’ club. The unrivalled location overlooking the ocean makes this a picture-perfect resort for social snappers too.
