An Amazing Experience!🫶🏼😀
I had an amazing experience at the retreat. As someone who is into fitness activity and overall wellbeing, I was looking to challenge myself and deepen my fitness and yoga practice. This retreat exceeded all my expectations. The quality of the instructors was excellent. I was able to challenge myself and strengthen my journey, working on form, technique, and exploring different forms of yoga, meditation, breath-work, and other fitness activities.
A huge thank you to everyone who works here. They go out of their way to ensure that everyone has a wonderful stay. This place felt like home, I am so grateful, I can’t wait to be back! And I met some incredible people 😀. It was all so wonderful. I highly recommend, for all fitness levels. Truly Transformative.

There was something for everyone! Pick and choose your adventure, but gain the most from leaning in.
I did 99% of the activities and pushed through being sore at the beginning and cannot recommend it enough!

Amazing
I feel rejuvenated and better than when i got here. Every thing is so perfectly planned that at the end of it all i feel satisfied and would definitely be coming back. Yoga, hikes, circuit training, breathwork, icebath, muaythai, the great kitchen. Truly want to thank the people behind it all, you guys are fabulous, khapun khap 🙏

I cannot praise Visit Natural Detox Resort enough.
I only spent one week there and in that time it not only transformed my mind, my soul and my body it helped me begin to find myself again after a particularly challenging time.
I am in the airport on the way home as I write this and the temptation to jack in my job and to tell them I am not leaving Koh Samui and then to get back in the cab and return immediately to the resort is strong.
The food is incredible - every dish I tasted I loved, smoothies, poke bowls, incredible salads, sharing platters, the protein pancakes...YUM!
The exercise was a really balanced mix of hiking, yoga (of all types), strength, Muay Thai, aqua-aerobics. Add to that the incredible massage, ice-bath, medidation and breathwork sessions and you have something that touches every aspect of your life. It is not all easy - you are going to need to work - but it is worth it - and the joy of the group at seeing someone who found one of the workouts hard achieve more than they thought possible was wonderful.
The programme is really well tailored so that you can make it your own and there is plenty of time for making friends with the group, hitting the beach, going shopping or explore the rest of this incredible island.

Lovely retreat on Koh Samui
I loved the morning outings, getting to explore the beautiful surroundings while getting some cardio done. The staff were so friendly and helpful and the food was delicious. Location is very central meaning you can walk to shops and services easily.

Just lovely!
My first time in this sort of retreat, so haven't much to compere with, but seemed like a very well constructed week. From early morning til evening at least three activities and with a well-thought progress over the days passing and (if one chooses ) a delicious, healthy menu to compliment your goal for the retreat.
I can only recommend VDNR!

Tout ! Tout était bien pensé pour faire de cette semaine une remise à zéro pour le corps et l'esprit. Sans aucune pression par rapport aux conditions physiques ou ouverture d'esprit de chacun. Il y avait de la bienveillance à tout moment et le groupe était vraiment soudé. De belles rencontres. J'ai adoré chaque instant passé au resort. J'ai découvert de nouvelles activités (breathwork et le bain de glace) et je repars avec pleins d'objectifs et motivée comme jamais.
Le staff au restaurant était aux petits soins, connaissait tous nos prénoms dès le premier jour et nous permettait de nous sentir chez soi. Ils étaient toujours prêts à satisfaire nos désirs particuliers pour les repas. Un grand merci !

Visit To Natural Detox Resort
I got an eight-day package with the center. As a solo traveler, it was the perfect option as it allowed you to meet individuals with similar interests while also providing you the opportunity to do whatever you want.
The activities over the week are well thought out. I was able to get back on track and felt the difference within a week. It makes you want to stay longer and accomplish more.
The food is divine. Very nutritious while also being delicious. It was one of my highlights to try a different food every day.
Every single member of staff was friendly, personable, and polite. The individualized service you receive gives you a sense of belonging and comfort. The trainers paid close attention to each individual, which made a significant difference. The receptionists and kitchen staff were the kindest. Always greet you with a warm smile.
I celebrated my birthday at the resort, and the staff made it even more special by giving me a beautiful flower, cheering me up, and making me feel amazing. They were kind and outperformed my expectations.
I am really pleased with my choice of retreat center and hope to return one day.

Great Package
All round this is a unique and great value for money package with lots to choose from. I loved the early morning hikes: I got my nature, exercise and seeing the beauty off the island all in one hit. It was wonderful to have a different yoga instructor and style everyday (Ann was my favourite). There is so much packed into a day and all of it is optional. Netta's fitness classes were superb - she put us through exercises that I've never done before.
It's wonderful that you're with the same group the whole time, so you get to make real connections with people who are have similar interests. And you can also be alone when you need: your choice, no pressure either way. A highlight for me was the Conscious Connected Breath Work session, it gave us a profound experience with our inner world.

Mooie oase met een afwisseld en vol programma
Het eten is top! De afwisseling is het programma en dat je het aan kan passen op jou behoefte. Als je alles doet is het wel erg druk, dus als je ook vakantie wilt vieren is kiezen wel een must

Lovely staff, food at resort was very good and healthy, quite expensive though. The instructors were all fantastic and passionate about there work. We also met some amazing fellow retreaters which was great. We did some good activities and hikes etc which I really enjoyed.

A good combination of strength workout and yoga practise
This is a great program for people who want to have a bit of both in strengthening exercises and flexibility/yoga. The activities are well planned. You can go with a strict detox week by having their meals. The food are delicious and healthy. Otherwise, all the restaurants are at the corner. Great location for everything you need. I've enjoyed this retreat a lot and I have made lovely friends here. It's a nice memory. All staff are friendly and helpful. Everything is beyond my expectations. Thank you Leo and Netta and all the instructors, great introduction and instructions for their sessions.

One of the most intense retreat I ever have
I like that the activities pushed me beyond my limits. I thought I could not do the hikes and classes but I did! The instructors were motivating and cater to different fitness levels. The rooms were cleaned daily and the pool was great. The food were tasty and healthy. I have also made really lovely friends from the retreat. I will recommend people to come and experience it at least once! Thank you Netta, Leo and all the staff in the resort!

Best Retreat Yet!
My time at Natual Detox has been exceptional. The programme itself offers way more than I was anticipating and I am walking away feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. The food is so fantastic that even when you are on the actual detox (should you choose to go for this) it does not feel difficult. The menu is clean, vast and delicious. The staff are simply wonderful and I felt nurtured and cared for throughout. I have done a few retreats and this far surpasses them all mainly due to the activities on offer as well as the delicious food. I could not recommend this place enough and my only warning is that you will want to stay longer.
Anette Nordstrand
from Fiji, May 2023
A wonderful all round fitness experience
I loved everything about this retreat. From the hikes and the yoga classes to the strength & conditioning sessions, the retreat exceeded my expectations. Lander, Netta and the rest of the team go above and beyond to ensure everyone is included and they do an excellent job at catering for all fitness levels.
The food was super healthy and so delicious! I am not a vegetarian but I didn’t miss meat at all during my 10 days there. I also really liked that there was no set time for meals so you could have your meal whenever it suited you.
Koh Samui is well connected so it’s easy to get to the retreat if you are in Asia already. And I liked that the retreat itself is in a small town. Other retreats I’ve been to has been isolated so I valued being able to stroll to the shops or to the beautiful Lamai beach whenever I wanted (a 5 mins walk away).
Thank you to everyone for making my stay so enjoyable, I hope to be back again soon!

Great place with positive vibe and interesting program.
Detox diet and quality of food was amazing. The program was diverse and included other activities on top of yoga classes. I had a chance to experience many new things there. Staff is very friendly and helps when it is needed.

I loved the holistic community, had such a great group of people, warm and so friendly and very supportive to everyone's individual needs. The programme was varied each week, and there was room to extra activities if required.
The vegetarian/vegan food was off the scale, so tasty and fresh. I wish I could recreate those dishes at home!

SPECTACULAR Detox, Fitness, & Yoga Retreat! HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Lander & his team of well trained fitness, health, yoga instructors nutrition, & massage therapists offer a rejuvenating, whole health program (1, 2, or more weeks if you have the time). My friend and I just returned from staying the week & appreciated how varied & inclusive the options for meals, beverages, snacks, studio-based fitness, & hikes/activities/excursions in natural settings were…& very well organized…in a beautiful setting on Koh Samui.
The resort is a five minute walk from the beach & close to an array of small shops (for clothing, lotions, bakeries, pedicure/manicure stores). This is my second trip to Thailand (spaced 20 years apart). I love the Thai people, culture, food, as well as a natural beauty of the beaches, markets, jungle, and sites.
This retreat offered quality yoga, meditation (one evening on the beach), hiking, biking, other fun excursions. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Lander, Netta, & the other instructors were so positive, upbeat, encouraging (of all fitness levels and abilities). It was a magnificent week of health, wellness, as well as an opportunity to “reset” one’s body/mind/spirit with fellow travelers from all over the world.
Safe, fun, healthy, delicious (food & menu), and truly enjoyable! I highly recommend and would return again!

the perfect balance between retreat and holiday
I liked everything. The people, the vibe, the location... The trainings were very well and the trainers paid attention to everybody personally. I've been to many retreats and this one was very fun, relaxed and I am highly recommending it to everybody visiting the island. Thanks for being a part of my happiness.

110% empfehlenswert...:-)
Mir gefiel einfach alles.
Die Professionalität der Lehrer, das abwechslungsreiche Sportprogamm und die liebenswerte Betreuung durch das ganze Team von VisitNaturalDetox-Resort. Von dem mega guten und gesundem Essen kann man nur schwärmen. Das Resort selber ist echt sehr schön und wirklich nur 5 min. zu Fuß vom Strand entfernt. Also wer sich dort nicht wohl fühlt, der fühlt sich nirgendwo wohl. Es hat einfach alles gepasst. Das Zimmer war einfach, aber sehr sauber. Es wurde auf Wunsch auch jeden Tag gereinigt und die Handtücher ausgetauscht. Ein ganz großes Dankeschön an das ganze Team die mir meine 4 Wochen Aufenthalt dort super angenehm machten.
Danke Lander mit Jam und
Danke Netta, Alisa, Ann, Mike & Michael.
Danke Eve und Noon von der Rezeption.
Danke Nok, Jamin & June vom Service.

Will be back!
Within a day the resort felt like home and this was 100% because of how friendly the whole team were. The small things make all the difference, every single team member made an effort to learn our names, smile & give us information.
Eve welcomed me with a warm smile and looked after me from start to finish, such a wonderful host! The café served absolutely delicious, healthy food all day from 8:30am-8:30pm and it was such a welcoming environment where you knew you would soon be joined by others at the retreat to chat with. Everyone was very respectful of each other's personal space so if you want time alone like I did, you felt comfortable or if you wanted to chat and socialise for a while there was always someone around!
Other highlights for me.. the hikes with Lander.. these were amazing with incredible views of the whole island, waterfall swims and climbing up rocky paths where you felt like you were really exploring the wilderness.
Loved the yoga classes, the teachers were inspiring - Ann, Mike, Michael.. all so impressive!
Netta is my hero! She's the PT at the retreat, sooo friendly and chatty, happy to help everyone whatever level you're at. I had never done strength training before and now I feel confident enough to join classes back home.

Best decision ever
People were kind, caring and helpful.
Activities were varied and challenging but it was not compulsory, I did as much as I could and there was no judgement. Vegetarian food was divine, and I am a meat eater.
I really enjoyed my time here and intend to come back.

Fun times at Visit Natural Detox Resort
I honestly loved every minute of my time at Visit Natural Detox Resort and surprised myself with how much exercise I did during my 15 day stay. The early morning cardio sessions were tough but the reward of an amazing view, a temple complex or beautiful waterfall made it all worth while. I loved the yoga sessions with Alisa, Ann, Mike and Michael and was amazed by my progress in just 2 weeks. The strength and conditioning sessions with Caroline were toture for a non gym bunny, but her enthusiasm and play list made it fun. The daily massages where much needed and without them I think i'd have seized up completly. :-)
The food at Wild Tribe Cafe was fab and I felt much healthier for sticking to the regime.
I was so lucky to be there with a great bunch of new friends and have left with amazing memories and a good kick start to a healthier future.
Hats off to Lander, Eve and Noon for making me feel so welcome.
I'd definitely consider a return visit.

What an unforgettable Experience!
So first of all, I would like to thank Lander and his Team. I had a very good Time and everyone was very polite.
Had the chance to meet new people, explore the island and eat delicious food.
The Yoga classes were excellent, definitely gonna miss this back at home.
If you worry about your fitness level I can definitely say, that all Workouts and hikes are makeable.

A wonderful time ....
The overall experience at the Natural Detox Resort was wonderful! The fitness program was excellent and I very much appreciated its diversity (hiking, biking, Muay Thai, various yoga instructors, fitness and strengthening, meditation, etc.) and complementarity. Instructors are excellent and passionate. Staff is super lovely and the food is delicious! Friends who did the "Detox" program very much enjoyed it. You can still pick up some detox food without being part of the program (what I did). The hotel is nice and their "standard" rooms are more than what you need - comfy and very spacious - and not standard at all:)) The beautiful beach is around the corner with several food options and a lot of great massages places and clothes cleaning spots!. More importantly - you will end up meeting other travelers that along the way will become long life friends and I feel blessed to have encounter beautiful souls during this journey. Embrace the program as a journey and I promise you to have a great one! Thanks Lander and family, Noon and all the lodging/restaurant team, Dloris, Ann, Michael, Mike, Caroline and all for a wonderful time.

Amazing experience & great value for the money
Visit Natural Detox Resort exceeded my expectations on all levels. I’ve booked 2 weeks all inclusive package and it turned out to be the best decision I took in a long time.
The activities are great, offering different morning exercises every day, from nature hikes to picturesque viewpoints and walks around Lamai, as well as Muay Thai classes next door. The jungle hike followed by a refreshing swim at a waterfall was definitely my favorite way of starting the day. Morning activities would be followed by a healthy, refreshing breakfast and a regenerating yoga session, with different styles and teachers, suitable for all levels. The strength workouts with Caroline are fun and motivating, just what you need to boost your energy in the afternoon and increase the fitness level.
The food was delicious, fresh, offering a great variety of selection.
The stunning beach is located at only 5 min walking distance.
The Wild Tribe Cafe and group activities are offering a great opportunity to meet people of all ages and countries and if you travel solo or in company, is almost certain you will leave Lamai with some new friends.
After 2 weeks, I left the resort healthier, both physically and mentally and ready to bring into my every day life a more consistent fitness routine and cleaner eating habits.
Thank you Lander, Caroline, Cream, Ann and team for helping me recharge, reset a healthier lifestyle and for the great memories! 🌴🙏🏼

Great all round program to kick start new healthier habits
I really enjoyed the variety of activities and the aftercare (massages) were very much appreciated. The food is AMAZING and was a big highlight of the program - it has inspired me to eat better. I especially enjoyed the hikes and being able to see some nature in Lamai as well as being able to try a Muay Thai class. The close proximity to the beach was also great as well as having easy access to the pool. The staff are also super helpful - it is a very small team, but they all work really hard. All the instructors were great and knowledgeable and Lander always made sure we were well looked after

Better than expected - perfect for solo travelers
The resort is a perfect combination of relax, sporting activities and healthy food.
Not only the resort staff ist really nice, friendly and supportive, but so are the local people in the surroundings, where you can find everything you need in minutes walk: supermarket, massage studio, laundry, currency exchange, shops, and the Lamai beach, where you can swim all year round.
The location and the infrastructure, therefore, are perfect. The accomodation offers everything you need in a stylish minimalistic manner, with absolute cleanliness and quality service.
As a solo traveller I liked most taking part of the sports activities like hiking, cycling, yoga and strength classes, where I knew great new people, who became like a family to me. A lot of different hikes gave me the chance to explore the island, see beautiful nature and mystic temples. In the resort, switching between relaxing yoga, strength workouts and swimming, with great food in-between, was the best all-in experience I ever had. Thanks to the competent and friendly trainers I could improve my health and body condition. After two weeks I became much fitter and energized, lost weight and fat. In addition, I learned a lot about yoga, local culture and nutrition.
On overall, I can recommend this program to everybody, who likes the movement, body challenges, being in the nature, yoga and healthy vegan/vegetarian food. You may stay at least two weeks and for better results even longer!

Improve fitness level, detox and lose weight
The level of activity, including multiple yoga classes per day. The food was amazing! The staff - especially Nan and Kai - went out of their way to help us. Cooking class was excellent. Lovely people who attended the courses/retreat. Pool is nice place to hang out. Your system definitely gets the chance to detox, while building strength & fitness. Both the fitness instructor (Dloris) and yoga instructors gave options to each of us - to accommodate various injuries and limitations. If you go and stick to the detox menu and the exercise program, you will lose weight and centimetres.

Wow? I had an amazing two weeks
Hi. I stayed here for two weeks at the beginning of January. The standard of yoga tuition is very high and I had two yoga classes per day. The early morning trecks up into the hills to a waterfall were amazing. The food in the cafe is all fresh and beautifully presented, I chose to eat all my meals there. The staff can't do enough for you and they are all super friendly. Don't let age be a barrier to going, I am 72 and had a wonderful time. Thank you to all the staff and the fellow yogies for making it so good. I will be back soon.

A very enjoyable experience
I went to learn yoga and thoroughly enjoyed most of the instructors. The first day was Ann and although it was the 10:30 class she took absolutely no time to explain or give an alternative. In my opinion Micheal was absolutely fabulous - he explained where you should feel the stretch, why we need to stretch and gave alternatives if you had an injury or issue. I took an one hour private lesson from him which helped immensely. Michael Cooper was also excellent. Yayha and Alisa were great .
I did not do the detox but the food that I tried was very good yet some very expensive. I understand that it is fresh, 220 baht ($9.50 CDN) for overnight oatmeal is a little much. It was excellent though!
I really liked the aqua fit class and had hoped that there would be more of it. Would have been nice if it were offered later in the day.
I did the strength and conditioning once and it was a lot more cardio than I wanted. Perhaps an alternative would have been nice but in all honesty by the time the hike and yoga were done several of us would rather go shopping and chill.
I loved that nothing was pushed on you and none of the instructors made you feel like you should try harder .
The Muay Thai boxing week one was fabulous but week two was just soso. That is out of their control however as it is off site. (next door)
I really enjoyed the morning hikes, Dlores was encouraging and helpful. It was great that there was someone in front and someone in the back.

Excellent
La cuisine offre une variété de plats délicieux végétariens et thaï, de jus frais. Le programme de détox est tout à fait satisfaisant avec des résultats surprenants. Je me suis amusée en faisant du sport !!! Et tout le monde est aux petits soins. Magnifique !

Amazing Week
I loved the sporty, fresh, energetic groove in this resort. It is very well managed by Lander and all the instructors are really well qualified. Coming from an international professional dance background (I have retired a bit over 10 years ago) I really appreciated the offer of visit natural detox. Whether it was a hike, a yoga class or a cardio workout, all really good! Even the people who have not a sports/athlete background could follow and enjoy the vibe.
The food, well, the food was amazing!! First time I became vegan in my life and the food was delicious, and for the whole 10 days it was a treat. Great variety, good portions! Everybody really enjoyed the food actually.
The team is very kind! It is a chilled but sporty and for most vegan or detox mindset. I didn't do the detox, but did the cupping in the spa area and enjoyed a couple of Thai massages just next door which helped tremendously to detox and relax my muscles after workout.
Coming from a typically overworked situation, I can say, my body shifted in 10 days:-))).
I can only recommend this.

Back to (inner) nature
Winning formula! Lander and his staff strike just the right balance with their encouragement and support, and comprehensive programme for health and wellness. Variety of fitness options keep it lively and challenging. Hikes in nature are really fun! Kudos to the yoga teachers and physical trainers who are superb. Small outfit supporting the environment with green initiatives, and relying on local businesses. Had no clue I would be doing a Muay Thai Boxing workout, but loved it! Locally sourced delicious and healthy detox menu. Small groups favour team-building and stimulate motivation and endurance. Time for self-reflection, relaxation and breathing techniques complement the yoga and exercise components.

Definitely not for beginners
The yoga aspect could be enjoyable as the instructors were all great.
Specifically Rosa Belfiore should be applauded for her personal care of the guests and how much effort she puts into every single day. She was definitely the MVP and I cannot compliment her enough.

Wonderful yoga teacher and most angelic person ever
What a fantastic retreat. Came for 2 weeks - best choice ever! The variety and quality of activities and tuition are excellent. The food amazing. You are made to feel at home from the first moment you set foot. I don't want to leave! You don't have time to get bored. Physically exhausting yet exhilarating at the same time and you feel the love of the place. The boxing school next door adds to the animation and nothing is an issue. I can't wait to return. The perfect retreat!

Changing habits
I absolutely loved the versatile daily exercises including hiking, biking, Muay Thai, yoga & fitness. Our trainers were wonderful, always making sure that everyone feels taken care of. And of course the food was amazing as well - I hardly ever ate anywhere else.
Being here felt incredibly relaxing for the soul, even-though I pushed my body to its limit on a daily basis. The other guest that stayed here were also motivated and therefore we had a great team spirit, that helped everyone through the tougher bits.
I would recommend this place to anyone who seriously wants to change their habits and kickstart a fitness and health journey.

Better than expected
The daily activities, lander took into account what the group wanted to do and made sure it was suitable for all abilities. Door is classes were fun too.

Exceeded all my expectations
It’s so much more than a retreat, its a supportive community / family atmosphere with everyone fully engaged and contributing.
I traveled alone with no prior experience of yoga but quickly discovered that didn’t matter. I’m somewhat of a loner when on holiday, the idea of mixing with others is not exactly welcoming. However we worked, ate and socialised as as team which was ( to my surprise) fantastic.
The staff are encouraging, understanding and fully committed to your goals.
The classes are amazing and Dolores is great at helping you reach your potential.
It’s really helped me refocus and reset my mind, I had fantastic end results which I aim to keep improving.
The food is probably some of the best I ever had. I arrived full of sugar, feeling bloated and sluggish and left looking and feeling so much better.
I’m already planning my trip for next year but will stay longer.

Great place & nice vibes - totally recommended experience
The facilities set up and the detox-fitness program are really very well though of. You have the chance to go through a routine that most of us just can't follow in daily life ( 3 activities per day + detox/healthy eating) while you mind is relaxing and enjoying the company of nice like minded group.
The activities / fitness program are quite demanding, if you come with the mindset of challenging yourself and wanting to really work out and get stronger, this is totally your place.
Morning hike in nature is great chance to be in nature and explore the island almost like a local. We had a few situations when it become really difficult for some of us, but then it proved that we are really in good hands: Lander takes extra effort to make sure that all, and specially the one who struggled the most are OK and safe.
Food is another very strong point of the program, healthy, delicious and interesting. You would get into the mood of doing some detox days (at least) The detox program is relatively easy to follow for few days, it is something that I could never do at home, so go for it, your body will be thankful.
Each and everyone of the instructors and the staff is taking good care of you, giving you the support you need when you want to push yourself, but also no pushing when you decide to take a break. People are genuinely nice and approachable, naturally creating this ‘’homey” feeling while also providing a space to be with yourself and just relax.

The staff makes you feel like family
This retreat offered more than just daily yoga. There was an opportunity to be out in nature, hiking, bike riding, visiting a waterfall, and beach work outs. There were HIIT work outs at the end of the day. This seems like a lot but you’ll be surprised how quickly you adapt! Truly the best part though is the staff, they are kind, considerate, and attentative. Shout out to my girls Curly and Kai!

Absolutely a great life experience
This two fitness and yoga weeks were hard. It wasn't definitely just holiday.😅 But after the second week you can already feel the positive difference of your body. You got healthier, stronger and you can feel how your fitnesslevel is going up.
The place is absolutely top. A beautiful pool for relaxing, a massage and a good and healthy restaurant is all what you need next to your courses.😍
I definitely can recommend this place and all the amazing and friendly staff, which makes you feel like beeing at home.
And a bonus: the people you will spend the courses with will be after a few days your family. We all had an amazing time and I definitely got new friends for my life.
So, don't think to long. Just do it! You will not regret it!💪😃

Highly recommend detox resort 👍👍 great fun
As a meat/seafood 🐟🦐🦀 lover, rarely exercise 🏋️♀️, always in office 👩💻 and wear 👠, hardly believe could change my lifestyle but, Lander, the owner of Visit Natural Detox Resort, changed my mindset.
I booked all inclusive program because didn’t know what I wanted and what to choose, knew nothing 🤷♀️, just wanted to “detox”, the package just perfect fit, as soon as landed 🛬, everything was taken care of - airport transfers 🚘 / cardio training / yoga / strengthening session / 3 meals a day 🍽, and wrap up by daily massage 💆♀️ , everything was well organized 😚.
The part I like most though was the program Lander arranged for us, a small group of 👭👭, everyone one of us was very happy and satisfied 👏. We tried different things together like hiking hills, biking 🚴♀️ around the island🌴 , muaythai 🥊, aqua fit 🏊♀️, running 🏃♀️ on Lamai beach, yoga 🧘♀️... indeed it was a very thoughtful and interesting agenda, full of joy 😊, amazing experience that you could hardly get from other places, maybe a little hard core to start with but made me full of energy💪 and refresh, loved it
The Cafe there was also awesome, staffs were very friendly and caring, veggie 🍅🥑🥦🍉🍌🥥🥚 was fresh and dressings were homemade! If you are vegetarian / vegan, must try 🤗!
In addition to normal work out, there’s a beauty center in the resort, you could have facial, body scrub & mud, 👣 detox, 💅, v relax!
I enjoyed the days I stayed at Visit Natural Detox Resort, very memorable and great fun, will definitely go back there again 👍

An excellent experience
Taking 2 weeks away to work on my health and fitness was one of the best decisions I have made in a long time. I got great results and felt like I had really achieved something, it also kick started my new routine and motivation for when I got home. All the staff at the resort were absolutely lovely, you couldn't ask for better service. The food is beautiful and so tasty! The workouts were varied, challenging and rewarding. I especially like the way that the morning workouts were structured so that we saw a lot of the sites around the island. I highly recommend the two week all inclusive detox program to anyone who is wanting to take a break from the rat race and get back to focusing on your health and fitness goals! Go for it!!
