Wellness and Koh Samui go hand-in-hand as the island has long established itself as a must-visit destination for holistic healing and mindfulness. Set along a breathtaking hillside and surrounded by lush tropical abundance, Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui is the vantage to be at this Global Wellness Day. "The theme of this year, #MagentaNature, is apt for our location," remarks Jasjit Assi, the Resort's General Manager. "With bountiful nature all around us, the island setting lends itself naturally to healing and wellbeing."
At the centre of the Resort's wellbeing programs is The Secret Garden Spa, which brings together the elements into its therapies. "Our spa menu is inspired by nature - Earth, Fire, Wind and Water - allowing you to balance your inner elemental energies through massages and rituals," shares Kotchaphan Mekloy, Director of Spa, adding that these immersive experiences are designed to reconnect guests with nature and promote holistic wellbeing. "The mantra of Global Wellness Day is 'one day can change your life,' and we hope that the program planned at the Resort does just that!" she smiles.
Wake Up to Island vibes
Starting off the day with a delectable breakfast overlooking the Gulf of Thailand at Koh Thai Kitchen, the magenta-themed healthy breakfast station is a perfect complement to the natural surroundings. "Choose between the Yoga Retreat at the Beach at 7:00 am and the Stretching Class at the Yoga Sala at 8:00 am to begin your morning," suggest Kotchaphan. The schedule extends to an invigorating Muay Thai Workout at the Muay Thai Boxing Ring (9:00 am).
Nature's Wonders
The Resort is set within a coconut plantation and orchard where more than 800 coconut trees have been retained to create a natural haven. "The garden tour with our Sustainability Manager Thada Whasagool is a must-not-miss experience to truly connect with nature," she insists. Taking guests on a walk around the resort (10:00 am), Thada takes time to explain the various indigenous plants and trees that make up the beautiful hillside oasis. Keeping an eye on the ocean, the Resort's marine biologist will take guests on a guided snorkelling tour at 3:00 pm. "Sustainability is at the core of our experience at the Resort and our team will be delighted to showcase our promise, both on land and underwater," insists Jasjit.
Beach Life is the Best Life
For those who would like to spend their day by the beach, the aqua aerobic session (1:00 pm) adjacent to CoCoRum offers a pumped up workout between relaxation, while the hourly themed beachside amenities play perfect host to a memorable day spent at ocean's edge. Winding down for the day, the Resort has organised a sound healing session (5:00 pm) at the plush residence overlooking the azure waters of the Gulf. Guests are invited to enjoy an Extended Stay for five nights or more to enjoy 20 percent savings on the room rate, and 10 percent off food and beverage, spa and laundry service.
"Join us for a day of unforgettable experiences that nurture the mind, body, and soul," invites Kotchaphan. "Embrace the power of nature and embark on a journey towards holistic wellness in one of Thailand's most breathtaking settings."
