Lamai Beach Spas

Tamarind Springs

Tamarind Springs Classic Spa has a proven recipe for relaxation: Take a tropical island coconut grove in the shade of a gently sloping mountain. Tuck a herbal steam room in between two huge rocks. Nestle a cold plunge pool nearby. Surround with lush natural landscape. Fold in an hour or two (or more...) of soothing massage with essential natural oils. Mix thoroughly. Garnish with a refreshing herbal drink.

It's Forest spa is even more amazing, set into the jungle with herbal steam cave and forest pools. Included in every forest spa experience is time out in the 'space out' zone with complimentary refreshments and snacks. -- a wonderfully relaxing appetizer to the main course of massage. Treatments focus on professional massage (with some skin care treatments) in this spectacular natural environment. There's also a cafe/juice bar. Route 4169, Lamai, Tel.  077 424 221

Spa Samui Resort

Spread over two locations in Lamai - one beachside and one in the hills, Spa Samui Resort is now famous worldwide for its fasting and cleansing programmes, and kick-started the whole trend for alternative health spas with its opening in 1992. Fasting packages range from one day to seven days and are augmented by reflexology, meditation and yoga classes.

For the passing visitor there's also massages, including Thaiatsu, Aroma Oil and Healing Clay, facials and other treatments on offer. Their mostly vegetarian restaurant (same menu at both sites) was recently voted one of the fifty best restaurants in the world by an international magazine and serves a huge array of salads and health shakes unavailable elsewhere on the island. Accommodation is available at both locations although the hillside site is much newer and its bungalows are a higher quality than those on the beach.
