About Tamarind Springs Forest Spa

Tamarind Springs Forest Spa, nestled on the tranquil and picturesque East coast of Koh Samui, is a unique destination that offers a one-of-a-kind Thailand holiday and spa experience. Among the many spa resorts in Koh Samui, Tamarind Springs stands out as Thailand's first dedicated Day Spa. It is a place where one can truly get away from it all, unwind, and experience unique accommodation in private villas surrounded by tropical gardens. These villas are in close proximity to the spa's magnificent facilities and just a short walk to Lamai beach.

Tamarind Springs is not just a place for relaxation, but also a place for learning. It houses Thailand's first dedicated professional massage training academy on Koh Samui. After a day of learning or relaxation, guests can enjoy healthy and homemade food at the open-air Spa Café. The spa is inspired by its superb location, bordering Lamai's tropical forest interior, where lush coconut groves gently slope into a valley of huge granite boulders.

The spa is a hidden gem away from the tourist crowds. The grounds are beautifully tucked away amongst a rock bed, and the pools are wonderfully integrated into the surrounding rock, creating a true oasis. The staff are known for their lovely demeanor, and guests are encouraged to take their time after their massage to try the pools and saunas. The meals served, including lunch, are delicious and add to the overall unique spa experience.

Many guests have described their massage experience at Tamarind Springs as the best they've ever had. The facilities are incredible, and the spa even offers a vegetarian lunch and snacks before the massage. The massage itself is often described as indescribable, and while the experience may be a bit pricey, it is considered totally worth it. The spa recommends visiting on a day that is not too hot as the massage is conducted under a bungalow outside.

Tamarind Springs offers a memorable experience that is a real retreat in nature. It's an escape, a detox, a reconnection, a regeneration, and an immersive experience of your body and mind with the surroundings. The spa has a policy of no phones allowed, which initially may be a bit disturbing for those who are always with their phones. However, many guests have found that this policy enhances their experience, allowing them to appreciate and feel more of the experience.

The spa offers a variety of packages, including the dreaming package, which includes 1.5 hours of steam and pool and 2.5 hours of treatment. The therapists are very good and are known to help guests' bodies regenerate. A healthy light meal is also served, which many guests have enjoyed. If guests forget their swimming suits, the spa provides a Thai sari that can be used during the steam. The steam areas are literally caves in the rocks, and the pool is a natural water pool in the rocks.

Tamarind Springs is a truly amazing place that is tranquil and serene. While it may be expensive, it offers a memory that guests will take with them for the rest of their days. The massage is perfect, and guests are given a drink and a small snack afterwards. There is plenty of time for the rock pools and steam caves. The property is beautiful and is often described as paradise.

The spa resort offers great treatments and the natural sauna caves with cold natural pools are very close to heaven. The staff is very kind and the refreshments are vegan and surprisingly tasty. Despite being a bit pricey and the treatment huts being high up on a hill with many stairs, Tamarind Springs is a tropical escape that is highly recommended for those seeking body and soul relaxation.
