We visited this great resort for the second time. In both cases we were very satisfied. They took very good care of us the whole time. The program and care is excellent. I can only recommend. Michal

I am just back from a 2 weeks detox retreat in New Body and Mind and the experience was great. In comparison with other places were I was before, it has been my best cure so far. All was just right, the place on a small beach in the Western part of Koh Samui, simple nice rooms with comfy beds and place to draw back if privacy is needed. All is spot-less clean. The communal area again simple but giving a familiar feeling, all is open and the staff is always around ready to help and explain. Good pool for laps (take your goggles), early morning walks with the group, stretch courses (with yoga so also for 'no yoga' people) and circular training, weight lifting and step, water gym in the afternoon. The trainers are flexible and happy to adapt to the guests' wishes. Alex, the programme director is super knowledgeable about all processes in the body when you are on fasting/detox cure. And in addition he gives an initiation into breathing techniques and meditation. I did not go for weight loss but this is always included in a detox and I shed some kilos. So if you go for a total reset, weight loss or just wellness, it is a good place. And it attracts nice people, is perfect for solo travellers as well as couples and in the end there was a chit-chat with everybody and laughter and good mood in the common area during 'meal' time.
And if you decide to stop your fast and want to eat, they have two great chefs in the kitchen who are preparing amazing food (best pad thai, pomelo salad, tom yam soup, curries etc.)
Thank you New Body and Mind. I will come back.

The atmosphere is very good, next to the seaside, and there are a variety of exercise equipment. The staff take good care of you. I hope to come back again.

Wow, what an incredible nearly 4 weeks I had with this amazing wellness and weight loss program! Let me tell you, those two chefs are absolute geniuses when it comes to preparing delicious and healthy Thai food. And the daily activities, oh boy, they really keep you on your toes! From invigorating morning walks and rejuvenating stretches/yoga sessions to the blissful massages and soothing sauna sessions, they truly know how to keep you occupied and away from those tempting treats. Oh, and I can't forget to mention the magical effects of the coconut oil on my skin - it worked wonders! A huge shoutout to the entire staff for making this journey a breeze and helping me shed a whopping 14kg. I am forever grateful to all of you!

I booked New Body and Mind because after the pandemic, doing a degree and losing my father, my mental health had deteriorated and so had my ability to nurture myself effectively. I was eating poorly, sleeping all the time, my brain was working overtime when I was awake and I was coping using junk food. I had gained a lot of weight and my chronic health condition (hEDS) was deteriorating. I had to do something to dramatically change the way I was living.

Sadly, on day one I fell and broke my wrist. This was no one's fault, I slipped on a dirt track when out walking. However, I truly believe that it did not detract much from my experience. In fact, it made me more aware of my body and the pace with which I usually operate. I was forced to slow down and rest more than I otherwise might. The whole team were great. I was accompanied and visited in hospital and they also brought me in delicious food. My programme was adjusted so that I ate as my medication required and more strenuous exercise was excluded. I also could not get the site of operation wet, so this limited any water-based activities including the sauna and steam room. However, I was still able to participate in adapted yoga, meditation and do colonics, I did 9 days of juice fasting and morning walks. I also did the excursions, saw the rest of the island, and even spent time with elephants in a sanctuary (not included with NBaM). I lost around 8kg of fat, cleared loads of gallstones with the liver flush and reset my relationship with my body and food. I also read loads of books and rested. The staff were really good at supporting me physically and emotionally because initially, I needed a lot of help, tying up my bikini, brushing my hair, suncream and mosquito spray etc. I felt able to ask the women and they graciously helped me. Also, the other clients were really supportive due to the strong camaraderie of the group. Many people travelled there solo and I was there for a month, so saw many people come and go. We all wanted to achieve the same things and I made friends very easily - and I usually find making friends daunting.

I would definitely recommend this place for a thorough programme and personal service. The accommodation was incredibly clean, the housekeepers must have been in about 3 times a day because it was always pristine. The staff even came to spray my room when a mosquito got in on one occasion. I can completely understand why this place has so many repeat visitors and I will certainly be one of them.

My second visit to this fantastic resort. I already know I will return someday, such is the feeling of wellbeing at the end. I am now considerably more flexible. Shedding 9kg in 8 days means I’m so much healthier. Allesandro, Anchalee and the team are so attentive. The cameraderie among the guests ensures nobody feels alone.
I cannot speak highly enough of this place.

What a wonderfull retreat. I feel a lot better after my 19-day programm. Good to know: they listen to your (food) wishes (e.g. I don’t like cellery/pommelo’s, they skipped that in the juices/food & since I had a low bloodpressure I decided to skip the fasting after 7 days, that was not a problem at all), so don’t be afraid you have to drink/eat veggies you don’t like.
The hard part was for me the various supplements you needed to drink, but well that’s a minor thing.

6 days a week there is a (sports) programm, from early morning until late afternoon! So you don’t get bored ;-).

For whom it likes there are also (free) workshops and excursions (e.g. At Sunday when there is no regular program). I went to the Fishermans Village, Coconutfarm, Island Tour and the wonderfull staff arranged for me and some other guests an extra excursion (at our own expense) to an Elephant Sanctuary, which was really nice!

I enjoyed my stay very much and hope to come back sometime. Thank you Alessandro, Anchalee, Da and all staff!

PS. Yes it is correct that the retreat is next to a dirty ferry terminal, but that didn’t bother me at all.

Found the detox and facilities disappointing. In terms of activities these were limited, early morning walk around a lake that smelled horrible, there was no Trainer around if you needed help or directions. Found the Owner very aggressive, when I told him I wasn't feeling great on the detox and needed some support he threatened that if I didn't like it I would have pay extra to leave early! Rooms are small but fairly co.fortsble, area is remote and local ferry unfortunately resulted in unpleasant fumes.

New Body and Mind is an amazing place to reconnect with yourself and understand your body.its the best value for money health & wellness retreats. The Place is awesome and very well maintained with a long beach front.

Its very Professionally managed and the staff is awesome and will always give you a detailed review personalised for you.

You will see amazing results in a matter of few days and is the best way to drive self correction to build your plan towards your goals.

I was drawn to the services on offer here for their detox program. Before arriving I wasn't sure what to expect in terms of facility, staff, services, or food. On every level I was pleasantly surprised by how well managed everything operated. Laundry services are included here. That means you don't need to pack a lot of clothes for this trip. It doesn't take long to get into the rhythm of daily detox. The sauna, steam and massages definitely help you relax. There are opportunities to be as social or as solitary as each person chooses. We each had our own bungalow room with full bathroom. Because there are no shared walls, it is much quieter and more peaceful even than most hotels. The yoga and other fitness classes truly were designed to be accessible for all ability levels. Everything was made very accessible. The staff are all incredible and truly committed to ensuring all guests have a wonderful experience. The food, fresh juices and soups are delicious.
One suggestion before arriving: have a colonic irrigation before coming to Body and Mind so you know what it is before doing a detox here. It seemed the people who weren't experienced got less out of that part which is a shame because it is extremely helpful for shedding waste and weight.
Doing a 10 day detox here was the best decision. I would definitely recommend and stay here again.

I came to NBAM to relax and recover following 3 years of working with COVID Comms. I was exhausted mentally and physically. After 2 weeks on their programme, my headaches were gone and my sleep was back. Hard to explain how much of an impact this programme has on your mental wellbeing: for me (and so many other returning customers) this is *the to-go-to place* to pick up the pieces of your busy life and lost dietary habits, and come out of the process happies and relaxed (never mind the 5,9 kilos of pure fat I lost in 2 weeks). The staff are amazing and I was welcomed back as the prodigal daughter. Additionally, it offer great value for money compared to other so called wellness retreats. Fantastic experience again; thank you for being here for me.

If you are looking for a place to improve your health being mentally and physically that’s the place to go. Professional staff and program adjusted to every person individually. Tasty food and amazing cooking classes. I recommend this place to anyone.

Have you ever been at cross roads in your life and looked for that last straw to grasp - hoping it would hold and you manage to pull yourself out of unhealthy and destructive behaviours? Then look no more - NBAM does exactly that! It gently helps you detox your body, quite literally flush out all the wastes you have accumulated over the years, helps you restart your life by teaching you simple and easy to replicate once home yoga and mediation skills, gently enhances your mobility with every day Thai Yoga massages and restores your appetite for more movement and an active lifestyle with various sporty activities from hiking waterfalls, weight training, beach volleyball or water gymnastics (and many more).

The staff are the cherry on the cake as they are simply amazing - every single day each one of them is your personal guide and friend, reads your mind before you are even aware of it yourself, hugs you in their big comforting smiles and will go out of their way to make sure you succeed with your program but feel good at the same time!

last but not least the kitchen is a dream - even if you are choosing a fasting track as I did - you will love the fresh juices and soups and will love your rejuvenation periods and the deliciousness that the kitchen crew will create each day for you.

Disclaimer - this program might change your life forever - it surely has changed mine for good! I would even go as far as saying that the 14 days of fasting and overall 3,5 weeks stay in the retreat have given me a second chance at life!

The staff are very professional and friendly. The program for recover healthy and loss weight is very good. Not very big ressort so very calm to rest. The food is very fresh and healthy and tasty. (Sometimes the smells of smoke from ferries that is quite close but it depends on the direction of the wind.) We feel much better after the program. I will go back there for sure.

The Program and the Service: I believe the program dose work. You will see that in many people testimony. That is REALLY good. Also, I am sure you will read in the most of the reviews about the people there. They are polite and very friendly. THIS IS TRUE and I have to give a special thanks to Alix, J, Angeli, and Jing.

There is no way that I don't mention the good time I had because of the participants who came to try the program for the first time like my self, or those who return to it. I met a really nice people, learned many things from them, and gained good friends.

My room: I loved the view from my room. I was able to see the sea from my room. However, if you have a problem with geckos (the small lizards), you might find it difficult to some extend. (I found 6 geckos in my room) the baby one is the most intelligent of all. They hide everywhere. I found one between my cloths and inside my show.

As for the facilities, I think it could be improved.
- For instance, I couldn't use the swimming pool when the wither is cold at night or early morning because there is no heating system installed.
- The Jacuzzi was off for about 8 days when I was there but no one to fix it or offer another service instead.
- Although we pay the full amount of the program for every Sunday, but we don’t have an access to the facilities. I did asked to use the sauna in Sandy but I told no. Also the training program and the massage program are terminated in Sundays.
- Better communication in the electronica level. The first few days there is the most challenging. I sent an Email to the New B&M asking for help and support. However, I never received a reply to that email.

The Location: it is very relaxed environment I wish there isn’t the port that located about 150 m or so. The exhaust from the ships is really peace disturbing sometime.

Thank you

غالب العاملين متعاونين إلا أنني أحسست وأحس عدة أصدقاء كانوا معي أن المكان تحول من التركيز على إرضاء المستفيدين من البرنامج إلى التوفير في المصروفات قدر الإمكان وهذا أدى إلى عدم الارتياح ، المكان بعيد جدا عن كل شيء ستحتاج إلي سيارة تكلف ٦٠٠ بات أو الضعف في أي رحلة قصيرة خارج المخيم بالسيارة

Eu senti que o programa acabou sendo sobre dinheiro, também alguns dos meus amigos sentiram o mesmo.meus amigos me disseram que costumava ser diferente.
