Mangosteen Ayurveda & Wellness Resort

This Thai sanctuary exceeded my expectations. The lush greenery and vibrant frangipani trees created a serene atmosphere, while the attentive staff and delicious food made for a rejuvenating experience. Each treatment and massage was tailored to my needs, promoting optimal health. I can't wait to return for a longer stay.

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful resort. We loved everything and can highly recommend it to others. It offers great service, delicious food, and spacious rooms. It's a relatively small resort, which we loved. It has a lovely 'family' vibe.

This is a very unique resort, which is small enough to make you feel totally at peace and relaxed. Excellent Dr for Ayurvedic medicine, excellent food and spa treatments. it really is faultless for taking care of you and making you feel at home. And the staff - many of whom have worked there for more than a decade - make it feel like a family. This is in no small part due to the fact that the owners of the resort, Hayo and Rose have lovingly created this resort and run it as a family - their daughter currently managing whilst the couple currently on a break. You can get better rates May onwards which is rainy season - and that is relative. In March/April it is hot (32-38 when I was there). But it is always comfortable with sea breezes and access to the lovely infinity pool. I was also at the resort in December when it is a little cooler and the sea is clearer. If you are a Yoga fan you will probably enjoy the resort also (not if you are a beginner though, its the only area where I feel few classes that I could do). There is also a great Reiki teacher there and a fantastic yoga/meditation lead, Kirstin. You can learn a lot about your body and your soul at this resort. And it is a very compfortable experience as a solo traveller as there are many others travelling this way and very global. If coming from the UK I recommend the direct Tui flights which are surprisingly comfortable. Allow an hour transfer from the airport to the resort each way and a pick up is arranged by the resort.

if you are looking for a true place for a health retreat you can only enjoy and appreciate this resort.

We stayed here for a few nights over Christmas in 2023 and loved the location, the gorgeous space including the view from our room, and the amenities like yoga and the pool. We did struggle on a few occasions with customer service. For example, during our Christmas Eve dinner, we asked for some water which the waiters were pouring for other customers and were told it was for the Ayerveda retreat members only and we could buy some bottled water (which was ridiculously expensive). Later, there was tea on the buffet where our dessert was laid out and I was told the same thing - only for some guests. These were both SUCH small and inexpensive things that cost the hotel nearly nothing to give us as guests (literally water and tea) but made us feel like we weren't "real" guests because we didn't sign up for their full package. Otherwise, it was mostly pleasant - the rooms are stunning and the pools are expansive. Yoga was nice although you must get there early for a good spot. The sweet resort kitty was a highlight for us too. We'd probably stay somewhere else if we came back because we didn't feel very welcomed here but it is a nice place to stay. Skip the holiday meals though - they were way overpriced and not very good on top of the poor customer service.

Just like last year, it was a great and helpful experience. The resort and the bungalows are very well organized and beautiful. All the staff from reception to the cleaners are super friendly and helpful. Special kudos to the restaurant staff and especially Dr. Nezeem (a great Aryuveda doctor and always friendly and accommodating) and Sagar (wellness coordinator and yoga teacher) and Ajith (Ayurveda Therapist). A great experience to get the body (and mind) back into balance ... combined with weight loss WITHOUT starving ;-)

We did a yoga package and loved it. The pool area especially was perfect with nice cool water, and plenty of space to enjoy privacy. It can sometimes be a bit noisy bc of traffic because, well, it's still Phuket. Sometimes the yoga itinerary is not really clear so just double check that. However, the quality of the classes is superb and you will not regret it.
