Retreat Programme
Just imagine that you wake up for an early sunrise or later morning yoga session with breathtaking views from the yoga deck.
The day follows with activities and excursions around Phuket to immerse yourself in the local culture, nature, and wellness.
Each day of the week offers 3 wellness activities to choose from – active, relaxed or Thai Heritage program. You have the freedom to choose which one fits your mood that day.
At the end of the day, you will return your focus on your body, mind, and soul with a round of yoga.
If you crave the kind of holiday that gets you deep into your practice and experience a new culture, this is for you.
Hilltop Wellness Resort offers a balanced program with plenty of options to spend your days more actively or take it easy with their relaxed program or dive deeper into the Thai culture with the Thai Heritage program.
Activities are available on full retreat days, excluding check-in and check-out days. For this 6-day retreat, they have factored in one calmer rest day as well without an excursion.
This gives you some more time to relax at the resort or explore the island on your own with a free shuttle bus.
You can enhance your experience with optional massages, spa treatments, or extra excursions arranged for a small additional fee. Join us for a journey of rejuvenation amidst the serene beauty of Phuket.
Every day includes two yoga classes, one in the morning and one in the evening. The morning practice is a more dynamic Hatha or Vinyasa yoga-based practice to wake up the body and mind for the day ahead.
In the evening, you wind down with a slower yoga practice, calming down the body and the mind.
On Tuesdays and Fridays, they offer a complimentary Sunrise yoga class in addition to the daily yoga classes.
