Spas & Health Resorts, Ko Samui

The spa is located on the beachfront. It offers a huge range of holistic treatments, ancient and modern, from all over the globe. Treatments include massages, body wraps, foot massages, herbal baths, poultices and facials.

After days of high energy sightseeing and beach combing....we decided to try another "Thai" massage and whilst out on the scooters, we drove by the Ban Sabai Spa. Walking through the front gate, it might seem much like any other spa (calm, serene, pretty....) - however once you walk into the front door and through the pavilion and gaze out onto the Gulf of Siam, it's a whole other worldly experience. I just looked up the website for the place and it appears that prices have risen exponentially - however when we were there, a massage and facial for two totaled $18. Maybe that was because we visited in October after the full moon celebrations and there weren't too many people around. It still seems pretty reasonable however.

One of the highlights of my stay in Koh Samui was indulging in a Spa experience. I had a wonderful "Bliss and Radiant" treatement at the Living Senses Spa, a combination of one hour aromatic oil massage with one hour facial. Oh boy! What a great experience! The spa is beautiful and the masseues are the best. I was told they go to the Chiang Mai region to pick the best masseuses and I believe it. I felt asleep during the massage and my face looked like 10 years less after that! And it lasted for days!!! I highly recommend this Spa to anyone. Their service is also fantastic. Book in advance. Highly recommended!

You will find this SPA centre well-decorated as if you are in a mini-Ayutthya palace. Great service, as they are able to fetch you to/fro your resort.

Natural ingredients, from sesame seeds to cucumber, are used for all treatments.

A two and half hour package that includes a body scrub, a body wrap, a massage and a facial costs around 3000B.

In Koh Samui there's a lot of excellent spas. My favourite is Eranda Herbal Spa. It's located in north Chaweng, near Coral Bay Resort.

It's builded in a steep hillside and the wiev is magnificent. And because it's an outdoor spa, the wind breezes mildly.

In Thailand you have to have a traditional Thai massage. It's so relaxing and at least for me it was a bit funny too.

Eranda is not the cheapest spa in Koh Samui, but it's worth visiting.

this was the best massage I ever had in my whole life... ;-)
