Why it's holistic
Absolute Sanctuary pairs detox work with movement and a set structure. Programmes open with a consultation that includes a bio-impedance reading, and the resort says it offers four different ways to detox because it treats every guest as bio-individual, with different comfort levels and needs. Colon hydrotherapy, detox massage, detox drinks and meals and herbal supplements are combined in different mixes, and yoga, Pilates and other classes sit alongside them. A collaboration with the Moringa Project, a farm in Hua Hin, supplies moringa products for spa treatments.
About
The one-day detox programme at Absolute Sanctuary shows how the place works. Arrival at 8:00 brings a welcome detox drink, then morning yoga, a consultation with a bio-impedance reading, and a colon hydrotherapy session. The afternoon adds a herbal steam, lunch at The Love Kitchen, a lymphatic drainage massage and a group Pilates reformer class. Multi-day programmes come in four types, from fully fasting on detox juices to two light detox meals a day. The resort sits on a hillside in Choeng Mon, on Koh Samui's north shore, in Moroccan-inspired buildings. Its detox centre has four colon hydrotherapy rooms and works to a set of protocols the resort says are there for guests' safety and comfort.
