Absolute Sanctuary is a wellness resort with a wide smile. The team are there to guide and encourage, not to scold you.
David from Chic stayed here in June 2022 for one night. Not long enough to make much of a difference, but he left with a desire to return.
We have suggested a 5-night stay, but many choose to stay for much longer. It is highly individual and, unlike some similar resorts in Thailand, the setting is totally tropical. Samui can be easily circumnavigated in a day with sensible relaxing time, with the north and east coast developed and the south and west sides almost untouched and authentic Thailand.
We suggest a hotel-arranged taxi rather than moped/motorbike.

+ About Samui & Neighbouring Resorts
Samui – Good, highly innovative hotels and some excellent dining options. The majority of the development has occurred in the north-west area of the island and the more expansive beaches.
Phangan, Koh Tao and Khanom are much less developed, it is like going back 30 years in time, with just a handful of hotels, and offers a true sense of adventure.

Supplements will probably apply at other times, particularly mid-summer in the Med, and for rooms and/or transfers arranged for single travellers.
For example, the Caribbean and Indian Ocean prices for winter can be approximately double the May – June level and about 50% more in Asia.
For the Mediterranean & Canary Islands, Caribbean, Arabia and the Indian Ocean (except Sri Lanka) price guides generally include airfare and transfers.
*For Sri Lanka and Far East we show a per person per night hotel guide, excluding airfare, as arrangements tend to be individually tailored multi-centre itineraries.

Due to the ongoing situation with COVID-19, some hotels may have changed their facilities. Standard descriptions like distance from airport or town remain consistent as does the overall resort style.

Spa facilities, in particular, may be changed depending on local and international suggestions.

Please note, such information may be accurate at the time given but could be subject to change. In these times it would be prudent to be open-minded and flexible on such matters.
