The accommodation is meant to be comfortable but simple. There are no TVs or plush bathrobes or fancy mini-bars filled with chocolate and alcohol. Vikasa offers a modest and beautiful surroundings and we focus on whats really important during your stay – a transformative yoga retreat experience.

You will experience an immersion to a healthy lifestyle that will leave your body and mind feeling fresher than you would if you stayed in a five star hotel. If you’re looking for typical comforts, then we recommend waking up in a Lotus Pad or if you’re looking for an amazing view from your bed you cannot go past the Lotus Pad Plus. If you’re traveling alone and want to truly immerse yourself in the stunning natural surroundings, why not enjoy the sweeping views from the small but cozy Yoga Caves or for beach swims on your door step try the authentic Prana Cabana Beach Bungalows.
Regardless of the room style you choose, your retreat experience will be abundant of new friends, insanely amazing food, epic memories and a week that you’ll remember forever.
YOGA CAVE PLUS
SINGLE BED
Rest and recenter in a compact yet calming space that combines comfort and simplicity. Restful tones and natural materials channel through the room drawing your thoughts inwards, and your gaze outwards to the sea and meandering coastline. Caves are modest in size with a single bed designed for solo journeys. The space may be small but you won’t feel caved-in as sweeping ocean views give a sense of infinity. Each Yoga Cave is climate controlled and has access to the shared but clean bathroom facilities right next to the block. Bathrobes and basic toiletries are provided.

We often walk down together as a group in the mornings to watch the sun rise on the rocks and swim in the crystal clear water of the small beach on Vikasa. Other beautiful beaches around the island can be reached by taxi.
Can you accommodate my special diet?
We sure can! Vikasa Life Cafe is OMazing and can definitely accommodate your dietary requirements. The food is so delicious and one of the main reasons we go back to Vikasa year after year. Both the breakfasts and dinners are fresh, local produce, exquisitely prepared, health conscious and largely vegetarian with some pescatarian options.
If you do have any requirements or allergies please be sure to inform us before the retreat.

Koh Samui is a very easy destination to get to. It really depends on your airline preference and where you’d like to maybe have a little stopover and explore one of these cities. The 3 main options from Australia are;
1 – Fly into Bangkok (BKK) and take a flight to Koh Samui (USM) via Bangkok Airways or Thai Airways.
2 – Fly to with Singapore airlines via Singapore then fly directly to Koh Samui.
3 – Fly to with Malaysian airlines via KL then fly directly to Koh Samui.
