New Samui Retreat Partners with Leading Health
Experts for Unique Experiential Wellness
Programmes
LUXURIOUS BEDROOM

The Palms Retreat Samui, a wellness resort that offers a healthy
lifestyle based upon the cornerstones of provenance, integrity and local
experiences, is partnering with the island’s most renowned health specialists
and wellness practitioners to create unique and personalised guest programmes
in line with its mantra, “It’s all about YOU”.
The three, seven and 10 day (or longer) detox programmes provide effective
and practical strategies to alleviate toxins, as well as facilitate weight loss
and also maintain a healthy weight.
Our two initiatives - Easy Slim and
Easy Detox – include a menu of daily smoothies (created from 100% natural Thai herbs
and other natural ingredients), together
with a combination of yoga, meditation, physical activity, massage and
indigenous Thai experiences - all of
which come together to nourish both body
and mind.
The Palms Retreat is located within a charming private estate in the
northeast corner of Samui, close to beautiful, white sand Cheong Mon Beach.
Each spacious 800 sq m compound has three air-conditioned villas, a spacious communal
lounge and dining area and a 10 metre swimming pool.
The grounds are literally teeming with
exotic flowers, fruits and colourful trees,
making this a perfect location for stressed out individuals looking to
enjoy some “me time” in tranquil surroundings.
We also have a tennis court on site and free wi-fi throughout.
All inclusive daily rates include accommodation in spacious en-suite rooms
(some with both in- and outdoor showers) a choice of one of the two “Easy”
detox programmes, yoga and meditation sessions, a daily 60-minute daily
massage, daily guided morning walk, introduction to SuperCharge Yourself ™ (a peak
performance program), fresh cold pressed juices, complimentary herbal teas 24/7,
and, for those on the Easy Detox regime,
healthy cuisine created from totally organic ingredients sourced from local
farms and markets.
Individual plans for each guest are led by the retreat’s General Manager,
Ron Veldhuis, a certified wellness consultant, athletic and
health coach, and devoted yoga instructor.
He works hand in hand with Graham
Rowe, Chief Naturopath at Amrita, who
designed the “Easy” detox programs; Dr Will
Engelhardt, who specialises in functional & physical medicine,
counselling and disease prevention; Khun Lat of Island Organics Micro Farm (Samui’s only truly 100% organic farm); and her husband, micro farmer (and award-winning
photographer), Cameron Hansen, whose stunning work adorns some of the walls at
the Retreat.
In addition to the activities above,
guests can add personal training in an air-conditioned gym, kayaking, scuba
diving/snorkeling, beauty therapies, personal meditation and yoga sessions, and
many other activities.
Founder of The Palms
Retreat, Susan Field, says: “We wanted to move away from the “one size fits
all” detox programmes currently available in many resorts in Samui and instead
work with the most highly qualified professionals to create a retreat that is
personalised, offers amazing local “island experiences”, uses organic products
with authentic provenance and is situated in a beautiful and peaceful
environment.
"We believe we have achieved our vision with The Palms Retreat,
which will take guests on a truly unique and life-changing journey.”
All-inclusive rates start from USD229
(Thai Baht 7,350) per person, per night, depending on room category, season and
selected programme. For two people sharing a room, the second person enjoys a
35% discount off the relevant rate.
The Palms Retreat has a special
20% discount 'opening offer' throughout July to celebrate its launch.

About the Practitioners
at The Palms Retreat
Ron Veldhuis has been based in Samui for many
years and has a deep passion and understanding of authentic Thai culture
through his close collaboration with indigenous artisans and communities. As such, he conducts tours to “hidden
corners” of Samui, way off the beaten track, taking guests on a
variety of fascinating outings, including local coconut farms, foundation
schools, animal sanctuaries, an artisanal silversmith, and cooking classes at
Lat and Cameron’s organic farm. Other excursions include exploring the source of Samui’s famous
waterfalls and trips that showcase the outstanding
natural beauty of the island.
According to Ron: “Our detox and rejuvenation programmes encourage guests
to achieve their personal goals and heighten their ability to perform better,
improve concentration and avoid potentially chronic diseases by learning how to
respect food and its effects on the body.”
Resort Manager, Minah Pohchi, grew up in
Southern Thailand where her grandparents were naturopaths. “They didn’t study
academically, but practiced old style herbal remedies for family, friends and
neighbours,” she says. As a result, Minah is inspired by nature and healing, and
has spent many years self-coaching on the benefits of using indigenous plants
and remedies for curing various ailments.
A keen gardener, she shares her knowledge and passion in her weekly “Magic Garden” tour, pointing out edible
fruits, plants, herbs and their uses that grow in abundance at our resort.
Dr. Will, who has worked at numerous five star resorts in Thailand,
coaching and counseling thousands of international clients while providing
unique insight into health and wellness due to his strong foundation in naturalism
and ecology, offers various courses treatments at The Palms Retreat. These
include physical therapy, chiropractic adjustments, cranio sacral therapy, Chi
Nei Tsang & visceral manipulation, counseling, hypnosis, stress management techniques,
meditation and metabolic training, plus complimentary sessions on body ecology.
