Mandarin Oriental Bangkok Β· SpaWhich resort suits you? If you want a wellness resort in Thailand with a real program, book COMO Point Yamu Phuket: the COMO Shambhala Retreat offers Thai and Ayurvedic therapies, a sauna, a hydropool and yoga with views over Phang Nga Bay. For couples we recommend Six Senses Samui, with six spa salas on the hillside above the sea; yoga is included in the room rate.The 24 resorts are spread across the Andaman coast with Phuket, Krabi and the islands of Phang Nga Bay, Koh Samui in the Gulf of Thailand, Bangkok and Hua Hin, and the north around Chiang Mai and the Golden Triangle. The islands suit beach-and-spa trips, the north suits culture and quiet.
Mandarin Oriental Bangkok Β· SamphengOn Phuket, COMO Point Yamu Phuket sits at the tip of the quiet Cape Yamu peninsula on the east coast. Banyan Tree Phuket is set in gardens around a lagoon in Laguna Phuket on Bang Tao Bay, and InterContinental Phuket Resort right on Kamala Beach on the west coast. If you are looking for spa hotels in Phuket within easy reach of the airport, start here. Our pick: COMO Point Yamu Phuket.
On the islands off Phuket, things get quieter. Six Senses Yao Noi lies on a jungle hillside with its own beach on Koh Yao Noi, Anantara Koh Yao Yai Resort on Koh Yao Yai, 35 minutes by speedboat from Phuket. The Racha Phuket on Koh Racha Yai is car-free and reachable only by boat. If the beach comes first for you, our guide to the beach hotels in Phuket has more addresses.
On Koh Samui, Six Senses Samui sits on a headland at the island's northern tip near Bophut. Banyan Tree Samui has a cove above Lamai used only by guests, and The Ritz-Carlton Koh Samui stands on a former coconut plantation in a private bay in the north. Our pick: Six Senses Samui.
No booking fee: you pay the same price for your rate as for the same rate booked direct with the hotel β suitespot adds no mark-up, and the benefits come on top.
Around Krabi, Banyan Tree Krabi and Phulay Bay Krabi, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve share Tubkaek Beach, facing the limestone karsts of Phang Nga Bay. Pimalai Resort Lanta Island lies in around 40 hectares of protected tropical forest on the quiet south-west coast of Koh Lanta Yai, with 900 meters of beach.
In Bangkok, two hotels on the Chao Phraya are worth a spa detour: Mandarin Oriental Bangkok in historic Bang Rak and The Siam Bangkok in the royal district of Dusit. In Hua Hin, The Barai Hua Hin sits on the Khao Takiap coast, about three hours by car from Bangkok.
In the north, Aleenta Retreat Chiang Mai lies in the forested foothills of Doi Suthep and Anantara Chiang Mai Resort on the Mae Ping in the heart of Chiang Mai. Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort crowns a jungle ridge near Chiang Saen above the Mekong. For city hotels and every other address, see our guide to the luxury hotels in Thailand.
Factor in the journey. To reach Koh Racha Yai you take a van to the pier in Chalong and then a speedboat; Anantara Koh Yao Yai Resort has its own lounge at Laem Sai Pier, and Pimalai Resort Lanta Island is reached from Krabi airport by van and boat. At Phulay Bay Krabi, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, airport pickup is included when you book with suitespot. Our travel advisors will gladly line up your flight, transfer and spa appointment.
Choose a spa hotel in Thailand by its spa and you will find big differences in size, water and style. Among the largest is the Spa Village at The Ritz-Carlton Koh Samui: this spa covers around 3,800 mΒ². It has eight treatment suites, including couples' suites, three massage pavilions, a yoga pavilion, a health bar and a lap pool with cabanas. Treatments follow Thai healing traditions with coconut, herbs, water and flowers.
The Ritz-Carlton Koh Samui Β· Thongson BeachAt Anantara Bophut Koh Samui Resort, Bill Bensley laid out the garden spa over around 3,000 mΒ² among lotus ponds.

The Anumba Spa at The Racha Phuket covers around 2,320 mΒ², with four VIP suites for couples, each with a pool, plus saunas, steam rooms and a studio for daily yoga.

Water in a circuit: at Banyan Tree Samui, The Rainforest, the brand's first Rainforest circuit, leads through a rain walk, steam room, ice buckets, a vitality pool with jets and heated loungers. At Banyan Tree Krabi the hydrotherapy facility is called The Mini Rainforest. And Banyan Tree Phuket is where the story of Banyan Tree and Banyan Tree Spa began in 1994; its Spa Pool Villas come with their own spa facilities.
Wellness as a program: the Holistic Wellness Centre at Amanpuri has 12 treatment rooms, a steam room, infrared saunas, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Wellness Immersions and a Mobility & Recovery Programme by Novak Djokovic. At Six Senses Yao Noi, an on-site Ayurvedic doctor shapes three-, five- or seven-day programs, and the spa sits in a long house on stilts beside a waterfall.

The spa at Anantara Chiang Mai Resort has four couples' rooms with herbal steam and aromatic sauna and practices Lanna therapies such as Tok Sen and Yam Khang. At Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort, the spa is a three-story open-air pavilion in the forest, with a massage sala in the rice paddies.
More spas with their own character: at COMO Point Yamu Phuket, the COMO Shambhala Retreat has eight treatment rooms and four Thai massage alcoves, a sauna, steam rooms and a hydropool. The Mala Spa at Keemala Phuket surrounds eight couples' rooms with flowing water and adds a sauna and aromatherapy bath. At Pimalai Resort Lanta Island the spa is a village of thatched salas in the jungle with a waterfall running through it.
At Amanpuri, booking through suitespot adds a $100 hotel credit for the spa, or $250 from a villa. At Anantara Bophut Koh Samui Resort you get a $100 spa credit, and at Anantara Chiang Mai Resort a 60-minute Thai massage for up to two people is included. At Keemala Phuket you receive 10 percent off spa treatments. So plan your preferred treatment with our travel advisors when you book.
For couples: at Keemala Phuket, all eight treatment rooms of the Mala Spa are designed for two, and each of the 38 villas has its own pool. At Phulay Bay Krabi, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, the spa's couples' room overlooks the lagoon, and every guest has a personal butler. At Anantara Bophut Koh Samui Resort, couples' spa journeys in the garden suites are part of the program.
Keemala Phuket Β· Mu Ban Jasmine KamalaQuiet adults-only pools: InterContinental Phuket Resort has an adults-only infinity pool and a pool with hot and cold zones. At The Slate Phuket, the Pulley Pool (14+) and the Snakeskin Pool are reserved for adults, and at Anantara Koh Yao Yai Resort the Tranquillity Pool.

Our travel advisors will gladly tell you which spa resort fits your children's ages.
Light cuisine is part of the concept at several resorts. At COMO Point Yamu Phuket, COMO Shambhala Kitchen menus are available in every restaurant, and Nahmyaa also serves rare Southern Thai dishes. At Aleenta Retreat Chiang Mai, The Garden serves wellness cuisine, Lanna dishes and Western food from menus by Komkrich Issarajinda around a reflection pool. At Keemala Phuket, the organic Enchanted Garden supplies both kitchen and spa.
The Siam Bangkok Β· DiningFor the evening after the spa: at Mandarin Oriental Bangkok, Anne-Sophie Pic cooks at Le Normandie, which holds two Michelin stars. At Rosewood Phuket, Uncle Nun and Aunt Yai serve Southern Thai cooking at Ta Khai with produce from the resort's own organic garden. At Six Senses Samui, Dining on the Rocks puts you on teak and bamboo terraces above the sea.
Between treatments, head outdoors. Train Muay Thai in the resort's own ring at Amanpuri, or at The Ritz-Carlton Koh Samui, which also runs Southern Thai cooking classes. At The Slate Phuket, an hour of private Thai boxing is included when you book with suitespot.
No booking fee: you pay the same price for your rate as for the same rate booked direct with the hotel β suitespot adds no mark-up, and the benefits come on top.
Underwater: The Racha Phuket has a PADI dive center, and the reef starts right at the beach. In the north, Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort runs an elephant camp for rescued elephants, and Anantara Chiang Mai Resort sets off on daily river cruises on the Mae Ping. Golfers will find the 18-hole Laguna Golf Phuket course next to Banyan Tree Phuket.

There is no fixed ranking, but for couples we recommend Six Senses Samui, with six hillside spa salas and a private butler for every villa. At Keemala Phuket, all eight treatment rooms are designed for two, and every villa has its own pool. At Phulay Bay Krabi, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, the spa's couples' room overlooks the lagoon.
Among the largest is the Spa Village at The Ritz-Carlton Koh Samui: this spa covers around 3,800 mΒ². The garden spa at Anantara Bophut Koh Samui Resort covers around 3,000 mΒ² and the Anumba Spa at The Racha Phuket around 2,320 mΒ². The Barai Hua Hin has 18 treatment rooms, eight spa suites and a Wellness Hub.

Six Senses Yao Noi shapes three-, five- or seven-day programs with an on-site Ayurvedic doctor. Aleenta Resort Phuket offers Detox & Renewal retreats with a licensed wellness clinic, and Amanpuri its Wellness Immersions.
For a wellness resort in Phuket we recommend COMO Point Yamu Phuket, with the COMO Shambhala Retreat and a 100-meter infinity pool above Phang Nga Bay. InterContinental Phuket Resort pairs the Sati Spa with an adults-only pool. If you want a wellness program, stay at Amanpuri or at Rosewood Phuket with its Asaya Spa.
Amanpuri has an Eco-Beach Discovery Centre for children aged 5 to 12, and InterContinental Phuket Resort the Planet Trekkers club for ages 4 to 12. At Banyan Tree Krabi, the kids' club includes a water park, and Anantara Koh Yao Yai Resort has a family pool with four water slides.

At Anantara Chiang Mai Resort, the spa practices Lanna therapies such as Tok Sen hammer massage and Yam Khang fire therapy.
