Vikasa Yoga Retreat

I finished my 200 hour YTT at vikasa recently and i had the best best experience ever.
The best investment you can do for yourself.
Vikasa is everything
Magical place
My forever home
The best best best teachers
Amazing vibes
Oh god the sunrise is unbelievably beautiful there.
The food is so delicious and healthy.
The stuff are so friendly and were treating me like family.
Can’t wait to next year start my 300hours YTT in my beautiful vikasa
So so so grateful for them.

Healthy and many yummy menus. I just dropped by for dessert and some drink and work a bit. Staff is attentive and polite. I ordered pumkin pie which is special menu during halloween, taste a bit sweet but still very yummy. Also tried a drink avocado milkshake (i changed from coconut milk to normal milk) and taste perfect with less sweethen. View is stunning, can see chaweng noi beach.

Nothing but love for this place.
What a magical time it has been.

And definitely recommended to anyone.

Yoga Teacher Training
One month, 12 Hours, 6 days a week.

I'm as flexible as a broomstick.
Done some asana practice maybe 5 times before.

Some people even laughed at me

What I've learned is that Yoga isn't about being flexible. It isn't about fancy outfits and instagram.

Yoga is about unity. Stillness in the mind.

Doing the poses is only part of the practice.
It's to become stronger overall to aid meditation practice. And particularly the Pranayama in the morning was a favorite for me

I also learned so much of the history and teachings of Yoga from Alex

As well as Anatomy and Safety from Mikey and even Nutricien from Boris.

Talking about food, the Vikasa Live Cafe really did an amazing job in providing really delicious meals every day.

But yes, after so much daily practice for the entire month (and still doing the ice baths) I feel so much better in my body as well.

So I'm a Vikasa Academy Certified Yoga Teacher now!

With all my heart I recommend everyone that considers to dive deep into Yoga and want to go on a incredible journey of understanding yourself and go through a real transformation, this is it. Find Michael & Niki at Vikasa. They are gold.

Amazing retreat, beautiful accommodation on the cliff, great food and lovely beach. All classes well organized and you will feel the right zen and relax. Restaurant is really nice, food is great, organic and vegan too. Views are breathtaking! Teachers are professional and skilled. Thumb up!

I joined a beginner class in the morning. The location of the yoga parlor was fantastic. It was a semi-open space with a cover but only one wall at the back so we can see the ocean in the front when we were practicing. It was a very unique experience. Highly recommend this place for any yoga lovers.

This is my second time at Vikasa. This time, I found the sense of connection lacking. I try to avoid places that are 'cliquey' and sometimes with yoga, this is tricky. I took four yoga classes during my three days here, and only one teacher introduced herself by name. One class saw the instructor doing his own thing completely and not helping the two new yogis in the class at all. Wifi and in room safe didn't work for two days and there was a mouse running around the restaurant last night. Food is great, staff are friendly, great variety of yoga classes and the location is beautiful. I don't think I would go back, however.

Heaven On Earth

I had a wonderful retreat at Vikasa Yoga Retreat. I was in the Superior Beach Bangalow room 207 which is well cleaned and close to Vikasa secret beach. I could see the beautiful sunrise every early morning. The Hotel staff is friendly and helpful.

A variety of yoga classes are led by experienced and inspiring yoga teachers at beautiful white yoga shala. Teacher Bank and George ‘s classes are always full of positive energy, love and light, their support and guidance are professional. My favorite one is complete class which consists of meditation, pranayama and asana, I totally relaxed and joyed at the end of class.

Moreover, super healthy brunch and dinner buffet at Vikasa Life Cafe is amazing, delicious and clean. I really enjoyed the meal while overlooking breathtaking view.

I got a blissful element oil massage and tradition thai massage at bliss spa with ocean sound healing and sea breeze. The therapist is talented and also gentle. I truly appreciated the great service and already recommended it to friends.

It s worth staying here for the retreat and highly recommended. Can’t wait to come back

Die Renzension bezieht sich ausschließlich auf das Restaurant:
Top Qualität, top Service, top Aussicht. Entsprechend sind die Preise schon auch etwas knackiger (10 euro für eine Salat, >5€ für einen Shake). Dennoch empfehlenswert.

Horrible place you have to climb to reach the breakfast. It served from 9.30 am to 1130 pm. Dinner 7.30 pm. Most of the food is vegetarian you get quite bored with food variety. The rooms are ok. Quite pricey for what is it a backpackers place. No beach at all you have to walk around. Yoga or Qi retreats are only worth it. If I knew the place will be like this I will never stay there. Thai food choices very few. For lunch veggie choices fusion but still same but different. This place is for people does not care.

Amazing location with access to quality facilities & inspiring yoga classes! Great for beginners too. And incredible meals:) Hope to be back soon!

Coming now the third time here within six years. The place was already incredible then, but its constant evolution makes it continously even better. The combination of an interesting diversity of open minded People, the spirit and thorough daily application of a really unique Yoga standard and health program, delicious food in a tasty and healthy mix of raw, organic and thai cuisine, various activities, not to speak about this georgeous place. All of this together makes it really something extraordinary and special. I'll be back.

Wow where to start. This is an amazing cafe with the best view on Koh Samui. Everything is very professional here with polite staff and nice vibes. Came her twice for lunch. We just wanted to order everything on the menu. So delicious. We had the pink burger and some ‘sushi’. Also tried some of their bowl and vegetarian lasagna. If you eat primarily plant based and value great food this is the place to go.

Highly recommended for all travelers & yogis who need to escape a big city. Not just high-vibrational yoga classes included with clean rooms/accommodation, but also one of the best (if not the best) cafe, restaurant, & spa treatment I’ve personally ever experienced while staying here.

Moreover I’m also impressed by many friendly, helpful & emotionally healthy staff who are willing to assist you with sincere smile and radiance.

You can feel that they are taken cared of really well here regardless how busy the season gets.

Keep it up, love

A simply wonderful place with incredible food. Best place I've been in Ko Samui. Loved it!

No holiday can come near to this. Eat clean, breath clean, body mind souls are all cleaned. The massage here is a must tried. Food here served as brunch 930-1130 and dinner 630-830.

Rating based on price to niceness ratio considering the average price in Thailand. Main reason for losing stars is the road that cuts through the resort with motorbikes often rudely interrupting scheduled meditations and yoga classes. Would also expect food 3x per day and fewer cash grabs for what they're charging per night. Otherwise it's a pretty nice place. Staff are generally friendly and helpful, especially in the restaurant.

Con: I think my review says enough - look at the pics.
Pro: There are some really nice spots for photoshoots. Especially the Infinity Pool. Yeah, that's it.

The price per night is just ridiculously overpriced - a bungalow for two for around 160€ PER NIGHT. If it would be half that price, or rather a third, we would consider going back there.

Amazing view and nice buffet. It would be waaay much better with less noisy and half naked funky hippy individuals hanging around as it was a full moon party.

Spend a week here on self guided yoga retreat and enjoyed every bit of it. From the challenging yoga classes (4-5 to choose from every day), daily meditation, quiet nooks on the beach and healthy food. Bonus met some fellow yogis and yoginis who brought new inspiration in my life.

Very beautiful and peaceful place. The restaurant gives an amazing view on the sea, a little bit expensive but it worth it!
