Tropical holiday villas on Koh Samui

Our villas are currently being renovated and will be made available for Tamarind Massage Academy students and other lifestyle retreats.

Tamarind Springs day spa Whenever you are on Samui, you are more than welcome to visit our extraordinary day spa Tamarind Springs. Please see our spa website.

We recommend that you make a reservation in advance – either online or from Samui by phone. Do give yourself plenty of time (at least three days in advance in busy season) as we can be heavily booked at times.

What’s there to do?

• Individual villas, each in its own private garden setting.
• Every home with fully-equipped kitchen, hot-water shower, and CD player.
• All the houses have effective ceiling fans and mosquito nets over every bed. Because of the year round weather conditions, we believe air-conditioning is not necessary.
• A fresh fruit basket, fresh coffee, an assortment of teas on arrival. Drinking water supplied daily.
• A healthy breakfast and lunch served at the spa.
• Maid service every second day.
• No telephone, TV or newspapers.
• No internet access on site
• Free use of the Classic herbal steam sauna and a discount on all massage treatments at Tamarind Springs

The villas at Tamarind Springs are set in exotic tropical gardens under a verdant canopy of trees and palms. Barely visible amid the lush flora you will find the individually designed villas, each uniquely crafted to blend unobtrusively into its natural surroundings.

Your bedroom with its highly polished wood floor might be built against the face of an enormous granite boulder...or overlooking a carp-filled pond. Perhaps a giant ficus tree grows in the middle of your distinctively appointed open-air bathroom.

Here you will find simple luxury in nature – and the simple luxury of being close to nature. Many of the houses are open to the natural surroundings, and all have outdoor or semi-outdoor bathrooms.

Respect for the landscape doesn't come at the expense of comfort. No matter which house you stay in, you will delight in the integration of interior and exterior that makes Tamarind Springs one of the most original spas in Southeast Asia.

What’s there to do?

You will be busy with your course and practice for much of the time.

For the rest, we invite you to discover the essence of Samui and rediscover the simplicity of life. We have meticulously planned everything so that there is nothing for you to do. Nothing except relax, unwind, and rejuvenate.

This doesn't mean you'll be bored. Tamarind Springs is surrounded by rolling coconut groves dotted with dramatic fairy-tale rock formations. Amateur (or avid) birdwatchers will delight in studying the profusion of exotic species that visit the many plants and trees on our property and surrounding hillsides.

And of course, you are on the grounds of one the most famous spas in Asia, and you should find time to try the different massage techniques.

Mountain walks to your taste -- vigorous climbing or gentle strolling -- start immediately behind the houses. Or you may choose to enjoy a quiet beach walk at sunset.
