My husband and I ended up at the Absolute Sanctuary by chance, having had the first 8 days of our honeymoon gratis over at the Napasai resort, and searching online for something in the area where we could spend a few more days on the island, happened upon a deal on a room at Absolute - not knowing it was a detox/yoga center!

Despite this, and us being on our honeymoon, we had a wonderful time taking advantage of the spa and the Love Kitchen every chance we had. As a native New Yorker who loves to eat (and a vegetarian of 21 years), my culinary standards are high - perhaps unreasonably so on occasion. However, the food at the Love Kitchen is...just ridiculous. In a good way. In the kind of way that your brain can have some difficulty assimilating the experience your mouth is having. It might be a little mean to have such delicious offerings for detoxers who can't partake, but we enjoyed it! We felt sort of bad enjoying ourselves so much in front of those who were fasting on broths, but it was hard to contain ourselves. After struggling to find 100% vegetarian food on Ko Samui, it was a joy and a relief and a pleasure to experience the Love Kitchen, particularly knowing that it was a completely animal-free kitchen.

The only negative comments we have about our experience at Absolute is that we wanted to take it with us! We definitely appreciate and respect the fact that the Sanctuary is about the experience of the Sanctuary, and the fact that (I assume) it makes a profit is not an immediately apparent focus. By that I mean - there is nothing in your face that says "money money money, give us your money!"

Thank you for the wonderful experience. The staff is lovely, and, as I may have mentioned - the food was excellent.

Best regards,

"I had a wonderful stay at Absolute Sanctuary and look forward to coming back. The service was excellent especially at the Spa. The Yoga was great and the Alister was wonderful."

Being in the wellness industry in Hawaii, I can be a bit 'picky' when it comes to choosing where I want to spend my time. The Absolute Sanctuary with it's deluxe accommodations, 'aloha' staff, and incredible detox program far exceeded any expectations I may have had. I was fortunate to participate in the pre-cleanse, Ultimate 7-day cleanse and the post-cleanse /liver flush for a total of 12 days at Absolute Sanctuary. Not only did I not want to leave, the completion of my very first detox program had me feeling at optimal level with my health, mind and spirit. Will I come back? I am counting the days.

My wife and I recently returned from a 6 week vacation in Thailand. Our 1 week detox fast & cleanse program at the Absolute Sanctuary Spa was the highlight of the entire vacation. We felt like we breezed through the program which included daily colonics, yoga, swimming and massages. It provided an ideal balance of education, effectiveness and comfort. Our Energy levels remained high and our sense of well-being increased daily. We also came away with a wealth of healthy habits & tips, picked up from our daily spa routine, the staff and other guests. I highly recommend this program to anyone who is serious about their long term overall health.

Cheers,
David & Louise

"When I arrived at the "Absolute Sanctuary" I was literally glowing with toxic waste, feeling lethargic and overweight and even a bit down after a particularly 'merry' Christmas. People who know me will testify to the unliklihood of my completing an 8 day 'detox fast' complete with colonics and regular yoga (I'd never done a 'downward dog' in my life - at least not knowingly).

The pool is heavenly to lie by whilst soaking up the gorgeous weather and the rooms are a joy to retire to - each with a lovely balcony to sit on enjoying the view down the mountain to the blue sea beyond. The funky Moroccan decor is a welcome change from the ubiquitous 'spa look' of other resorts. At the "Absolute", you CAN be fabulous while you fast!

I've come back 11lbs lighter, as brown as berry and (some might say) almost irritatingly cheerful. It's a cold and gloomy UK January but thanks to 'Absolute" I've returned filled with resolve to carry on what was started and ensure that the rest of the year continues as well as it began.

I'll be back and if you haven't been, GO!
