If you love nature, peace and tranquility, you will enjoy this spa built between trees and natural pools. Absolutely amazing, and a new concept of spa. Shuttle to and from hotel is included, and our spa pack "Forest Dreaming" included 4 hours of spa treatment and pampering. As we arrived, we were warmly greeted by a smiley staff member who... More

We saw an ad in the Austrian Onboard magazine and we are happy we came for a massage. I took the 2 1/2 hour feet and body massage. Unique location, away from all noise. Open air huts is where it happens. Well worth the afternoon.

Although expensive on Asian pricing this experience is well worth the indulgence. There are a variety of packages to choose from however I chose the' Forest Dreaming'. I was staying again at the 'Muang Kalay Pan' Hotel on north Chaweng Beach , Koh Samui. The lovely staff rang and confirmed a booking at the retreat. It is best to book... More

This was by far the best spa I have ever visited and is a must for anyone visiting Koh Samui. The package I had was amazing - Forest Dreaming - and the staff were wonderful, especially the therapists. The caves have been turned into steam rooms and after steaming, you had the chance to bathe in fresh water pools. Very... More

The main attraction of this spa is the setting I think. You are outside the whole time and feel a million miles away from the rest of the world. Our treatment was 5500 Baht (approx $190) so it is more than if you went for a massage in town but as I said you are paying for the whole environment.... More
