You are in safe hands It's the second time for me in Ananda for a 7.5 days detox and I can't recommend the place enough! From Valerie, owner/yoga teacher, to Villy, detox manager, Noah and the boys @ the detox bar, everyone has been wonderfully attentive and professional thoroughly the entire process. After three years from my last detox, and living in London, I was ready for a general clean up. And boy they did deliver! The facilities: bedrooms, salt water pool, steam room, yoga shala, massage were spotless and kept that way by an array of young boys and girls always with a smile on their faces. I can't wait for my next visit!!

My partner and I were removed from an aerial yoga class due to overbooking, with no proper checks or full refund given. My partner and I booked an aerial yoga class at the studio and were really excited to attend. We even arrived 30 minutes early to make sure we were ready and could fully enjoy the session. Unfortunately, when the class (which started late) began, we noticed there were more participants than available hammocks. I was left without a hammock, and the instructor asked me to check with reception. At the desk, we were told that someone who wasn’t supposed to be in the class had taken part. However, instead of addressing the issue and removing the extra person, they chose to remove both me and my partner without verifying the situation properly. To make things worse, they didn’t even refund us the full amount for the session. It was disappointing and left us feeling very frustrated with the poor organization and lack of professionalism from the studio.

Aerial yoga class, very disappointed. We booked an aerial yoga class on Ananda’s website and were very excited to attend. Came in early (super early like 30 mins before🤣) to make sure everything is according to plan. When class started we noticed there weren’t enough hammocks for everyone- Sylvia the teacher did not make sure everyone signed up before attending. So instead of checking who showed up unannounced, she told us to leave (as we didn’t secure ourselves a hammock before they were all taken). At the reception they only gave us back some of the money as some was “website fee”. Very disappointed, do not recommend.

Absolutely recommended! I followed the detox for 5.5 days, which was my first time. I am 100% satisfied with the retreat. They are super clean, which is a thing for me. The team is incredibly sweet and helpful. And the program is put together in such a way that the days actually fly by. I will definitely be back here! Thanks Villy and your team for having me. It was an amazing experience 🙏🏽 Kah pu kah and namaste 🧘🏻‍♀️

Lighter, Healthier, and More Balanced After Detox I completed the detox program at Ananda Yoga & Detox Centre a couple of months ago, and I can honestly say that I still feel the benefits today. My relationship with food has completely changed—I used to feel panicked whenever I missed a meal, but now I trust that my body has the energy it needs, even when I skip eating. I feel so much lighter and healthier, both physically and mentally. The support during the detox was incredible. The massages were wonderful, and the twice-daily colemas made the experience much deeper on all levels. I also noticed a shift emotionally, feeling much clearer and more at peace, which has stayed with me long after the program ended. If you're considering a detox, I highly recommend this place!

Best detox in Thailand! I just completed a one week, detox, gallbladder, and liver cleanse retreat at Ananda. It was a phenomenal experience for me. First of all, this retreat appears to be dedicated to the detox experience as there are no food distractions to complicate the process. The restaurant, which does have absolutely delicious food, is located across the street so it doesn’t tempt you while you’re focused on your detox, and I really appreciate that. The program is completely balanced with all the nutrients that you will need to not feel hungry, to feel mental clarity improve, and a significant reduction in inflammation all over the body. The facility is extremely clean, and the staff are very attentive to every need. I enjoyed the saltwater pool, the sauna, the ice baths, and massages every day. The yoga classes were also very enjoyable and effective. If you’re looking for a detox retreat to reset your body mind and soul, I would highly recommend Ananda.

An amazing place with excellent yoga! We can highly recommend this beautiful place. Valerie is an amazing yoga teacher with 30+ years of experience. The classes are dynamic and joyful and she easily adapts to everyone needs no matter if you are a beginner or intermediate practitioner. In addition to Valerie there are some other talented yoga teachers who offer a variation of different classes. The rooms are cozy, beds are comfortable, the food is excellent and everyone extremely friendly. It’s such an amazing place with excellent yoga! We will definitely be back.

Simply the best for a reset of body and mind! A few days ago I finished the 7,5 day detox programme at the wonderful Ananda Yoga & Detox Center. It has brought me the much needed ‘reset’ I was looking for. It has helped me feel so much better in terms of a calmer gut, more energy, better-looking skin and a clearer mind. I furthermore could not be more thankful for the excellent guidance I received from the detox team. They were always available for help and advice whenever I needed it (a special thanks to Villy, Noa and Jay!). Also, the daily schedule (incl. daily massage, herbal steam sauna, meditation and yoga) was well structured and easy to follow. Even after the detox programme as the Shell lounge (part of and across the street from Ananda) provides a 'post-detox' menu with great food options for the first days after detox. This was my first detox at Ananda, but surely not my last! Thank you Ananda!

Fabulous fasting retreat on Koh phanghan :-) It's a very nice place. Nicely located and with great management and super friendly staff. I have been coming there for about 15 years and always had good results from my fasting retreat. They offer Massages, Colemas, meditation and yoga plus steam room and little ice bath and meditation... the program keeps you busy which is great during a fast.Many thanks Amanda. I will be coming back

A great way to start the new year It was an experiment for me to do the eleven-day-detox program at Ananda and I can only I say it exceeded my expectations. Given the controversy around detox programs, I can only recommend it to anyone to just try and see for yourself. At any event, Ananda is the perfect place to do it. Staff is very friendly, professional and supportive. The location is beautiful, accommodation is simple but for my taste just perfect. The resort is very well managed, very clean, everything works and the management is very attentive. The only drawback is the occasional evening noise from the restaurants across the street who are in the habit of killing the beautiful atmosphere with extremely loud "music" (well, if the term even applies to the nerve wrecking, hammering, synthesized rhythms) - but that is a problem all over the island, so make sure to bring some earplugs.
