Das Ayurveda Hotel Mangosteen Phuket ist für mich nicht nur ein Reiseziel, sondern ein zeitloser Rückzugsort der Ruhe und des Wohlbefindens. Vor über 20 Jahren betrat ich dieses Paradies zum ersten Mal, und es hat sich seitdem als ein Ort der Kontinuität und Qualität erwiesen. Was mich besonders beeindruckt, ist der herausragende Zustand des Hotels. Trotz der Jahre ist jede Ecke sorgfältig gepflegt und strahlt eine zeitlose Eleganz aus. Dies ist zweifellos ein Resultat der Hingabe und Leidenschaft, mit der das Hotel von seinen Inhabern geführt wird. Die persönliche Note ist überall spürbar, von der warmen Begrüßung bei der Ankunft bis zu den liebevoll gestalteten Details in den Zimmern. Die professionellen Therapeuten verstehen es, traditionelle Heilmethoden mit modernem Komfort zu verbinden, und schaffen so eine einzigartige Wellness-Erfahrung. Der Service im Ayurveda Hotel Mangosteen Phuket verdient höchstes Lob. Das Personal ist stets aufmerksam, freundlich und hilfsbereit. Es ist offensichtlich, dass die Mitarbeiter nicht nur ihre Aufgaben erfüllen, sondern mit Herz und Seele dabei sind, um den Gästen einen unvergesslichen Aufenthalt zu bescheren. In einer Welt, die sich ständig verändert, ist es beruhigend zu wissen, dass das Ayurveda Hotel Mangosteen Phuket seinen Glanz bewahrt hat. Die Mischung aus zeitloser Schönheit, exzellentem Service und der besonderen Atmosphäre, die durch die persönliche Führung der Besitzer entsteht, macht diesen Ort zu einem unvergleichlichen Erlebnis. Ich freue mich bereits auf viele weitere Jahre der Erholung und des Genusses an diesem außergewöhnlichen Ort.

I have just got back from a stay at the Mangosteen and have only good things to say. The gardens are beautiful, it is an all-villa resort, the yoga and meditation offerings are practical and something to take home with you, and the staff are amazing and look after you so well. However, my main reason for staying was the quality of the Ayurvedic program. I have recently recovered from a major illness and Doctor Nezeem is helping me to make a full recovery from the harsh side effects from my treatments. For anyone who is having issues with health or energy levels, I really urge you to book in to see the Doctor. Between the Ayurvedic spa and the wonderful resort facilities and staff at the Mangosteen, you will leave feeling fully recharged and happy. The Mangosteen is a wonderful tonic for your body, mind and soul. Date of stay: November 2023 Room tip: This place is really special. I have been 5 times. Don‘t go with any preconceptions. Just immerse yourself in the healing spa and relax. Trip type: Traveled solo

SUPERIOR Wellness Paradise: What an amazing wellness resort! As a solo traveler and seeking a detox wellness retreat, I was very discerning and particular in the retreat that I chose, look no further as this is paradise whilst detoxing and cleansing. The amazing Nazeem Ayurveda resident doctor carefully curates all needs along with the very hands-on connected owners and beautiful caring warm team to ensure your stay is welcoming, attentive, and full of care, the food is chef standard and I’ll be returning on a regular basis. I lost 5kg in 9 days and feel amazing 👏 thanks Nazeem for all your help and thanks to all the team 😇🙏

Fantastisches Resort für eine sehr entspannte Auszeit und sehr guten ayurvedischen Behandlungen, passendes Essen und ein sehr großes Yoga ‍️ und Meditationsangebot. Das Resort ist sehr schön gelegen. Ich hatte 14 Tage Medic+ gebucht und ich habe mich sehr gut aufgehoben gefühlt. Mit Dr. Nezeem, welcher bereits aus Indien sehr umfangreiche Erfahrung mitbringt und der ganzen SPA/Behandlungscrew um SPA Leiter Sagar. Ajith (in der 3. Generation als Ayu Spezialist tätig, Bindu, Bow, J, A, um nur einige zu nennen, kümmern sich sehr gut und liebevoll um ihre „Patienten“. Für meine spezielle Krankheit habe ich auch von Dr. Nezeem entsprechende Medikamente und Empfehlungen erhalten. Ebenso meine Ergebnisse der Pre- und Post Blutwerte. In 14 Tagen habe ich 4 kg Gewicht abgelegt und meine Cholesterin- und Leberfettwerte haben sich von grenzwertig zu optimal entwickelt. Das ist doch super. Ebenso das Restaurant Team mit den beiden Nam, Mug, Pong, Rod, Kit und vielen mehr begrüßten mich immer wieder mit einem freundlichen Gruß und vor allem sehr guten Essen, passend zu meiner Anwendung. Auch die Yoga- und Meditationslehrerin und Lehrer sind erstklassig, teilweise mit einem internationalen Ruf. Die täglichen Yoga Sessions sind so gestaltet, dass sich sowohl Anfänger als auch Profis wohl fühlen. Das Team an der Rezeption, am Pool, Housekeeping und alle weiteren unsichtbaren Geister sind immer zuvorkommend und freundlich. Ich habe hier 14 wunderbare, entspannte Tage verbracht und werde gerne wiederkommen. Herzlichen Dank an Hajo, Rose und das gesamte Mangosteen Team.

A superb combination Review of Mangosteen Ayurveda & Wellness Resort Reviewed February 6, 2023, via mobile We have done Ayurveda all over the world, but this was by far the best combination. Indian style treatments in a nice, cozy, family-style resort, secluded and tranquil, but bustling Phuket outside around the corner. The beaches and yes, the shopping and night markets. We spent a wonderful two weeks at the Mangosteen, and it could not have been better. A big thank you to all the team: helpful, efficient, and friendly. If you are looking for Ayurveda, Yoga or both, the Mangosteen is definitely a place to consider. We will come back- for sure!

Mangosteen Ayurveda & Wellness resort is fabulous! If you are looking to reset your life, get off the medical merry-go-round and get your health back in balance, then this is the place for you! Regrettably, I only had 10 days here and could have done with more. I left feeling very balanced, relaxed, and nurtured by everyone. Hajo and Rose (who are owner operators) and their staff have gotten something special to share with the world. They want to take care of us and give us a memorable experience. Dr Nazeem (Ayurvedic doctor) and Sagar run a very good treatment clinic for all attending the resort who are undertaking the Ayurvedic programs. The food is fresh, healthy and very satisfying (Dosha neutral) leaving one with no cravings for sugar or alcohol! The good thing is that you don’t have to give up alcohol or sugar, but what you put in is what you get out! With two yoga classes a day, meditation and Singing Bowls, there is something for everyone and for all abilities. As I said, I left feeling very pampered, stretched and all my knots kneaded out. I left the resort on the first day and realized that I needed to stay in the resort to re-set, away from the busyness of Phuket life! I absolutely loved my time here and will make sure that I make it for two weeks next time! Thank you 🙏 Hajo, Rose and your amazing team!

Wir waren zwei wunderbare Wochen in dieser grünen Oase. Es gibt nicht das Geringste zu beanstanden. Wenn man es zulässt, ist man völlig raus aus dem Alltag. Die Ruhe, der Müßiggang, die Massagen, die großartige Crew… Das alles trägt dazu bei, die innere Ruhe wiederzufinden. Das Essen ist grandios, die Bungalows geschmackvoll eingerichtet und bieten genügend Privatsphäre. Alles ist sehr gepflegt und den Service (Rezeption, Reinigungsmitarbeiter*innen, Fahrdienst, uvm.) des Hotelbetriebes möchten wir besonders hervorheben. Wir können nicht sagen, ob wir wiederkommen werden, aber wir können sagen, dass uns die Zeit im Mangosteen immer in bester und eindrucksvoller Erinnerung bleiben wird. Wir wünschen allen eine weitere gute und erfolgreiche Zeit. Petra und Werner, Oktober 2022

In einer wunderschönen Hanglage mit Blick auf die umliegenden Buchten liegen die Villen verstreut in einem tropischen Garten und bieten jede Menge Privatsphäre. Der Pool ohne Chlor und rote Augen ist der Hammer, man braucht 5 Minuten, um ihn einmal ganz zu durchschwimmen. Der Service ist erstklassig, das Essen (wie die spezielle Ayurvedakost) ebenso. Die Liebe bis ins kleinste Detail begeistert. Dass das Mangosteen nicht direkt am Strand liegt, stört nicht, es gibt einen Hotelshuttle, der den ganzen Tag fährt, den man aber kaum braucht, da man einfach die Anlage genießt. Das Besondere ist aber, dass man hier in dem Therapiezentrum mit indischem Arzt und eine Ayurveda Kur, zwar etwas abgewandelt, hervorragend absolvieren kann, verbunden mit den Annehmlichkeiten, die die Anlage bietet. Alle Ayurveda-Behandlungen werden angeboten verbunden mit einer darauf abgestimmten Küche. Auch unter Corona-Bedingungen ist der Aufenthalt sehr gut, es gibt hohe Hygienestandards (alle Mitarbeiter sind geimpft und in den Flieger nach Phuket dürfen auch nur geimpfte Reisende mit PCR-Test), man fühlt sich sehr gut aufgehoben (wie bei der gut organisierten Einreise), ohne dass es der Bequemlichkeit schadet. Kurzum: Absolut empfehlenswert.

Ich, 45 Jahre alt (m), wollte dringend das herbstliche Norddeutschland verlassen, um wieder Helligkeit zurück in mein Leben zu bringen. Seit Jahren spielte ich schon mit dem Gedanken mal einen Ayurveda Urlaub zu machen. Der Zeitpunkt war nun mehr als reif und nach einer intensiven Onlinerecherche fand ich dann das „The Mangosteen“ in Rawai, Phuket. Hier konnte ich Ayurveda mit einem Urlaub in Thailand kombinieren. Ich buchte zunächst das AyurYoga Panchakarma Programm für 7 Tage. Bei meiner Ankunft am internationalen Flughafen in Phuket wurde ich von einem hoteleigenen Bus-Shuttle abgeholt und nach Rawai ins Hotel chauffiert. Bei der Ankunft im Hotel merkte ich gleich, dass ich die richtige Wahl getroffen hatte. Die ganze Hotelanlage ist mit so viel Liebe zum Detail ausgestattet. Man merkt und fühlt sofort, dass man endlich in Thailand angekommen ist und es sich dort auch von seiner schönsten Seite zeigt. Das Personal ist äußerst freundlich und auch hilfsbereit. Aufgrund der Covid-Situation erhielt ich freundlicherweise ein Zimmerupgrade (Deluxe Jacuzzi Villa). In meiner kleinen Villa fühlte ich mich sehr wohl und alles war sehr sauber und gepflegt. Besonders großartig fand ich, dass das Hotel nachhaltig und ökologisch (z.B. kein Plastik etc.) organisiert war. Es wurde auf Wunsch gefiltertes Wasser in Glasflaschen abgefüllt und Produkte wie Duschgel und Shampoo werden aus dem heimischen Mangosteen hergestellt und dufteten herrlich. Das Hotel bietet mehrfach täglich einen Shuttle zum schönsten Strand in Phuket, dem Nai Harn Beach, an. Bei einer Beratung durch Dr. Subhash wurde mir erstmals im Detail erklärt, worum es beim Ayurveda überhaupt geht. Meine Schwachstellen wurden beim Ausfüllen eines Fragebogens identifiziert und Dr. Subhash entwickelte dann für mich ein individuelles Heilprogramm. Das Highlight waren die täglichen Ayurveda-Behandlungen durch Ajith, welche ich vormittags und am frühen Abend für jeweils eine ganze Stunde erhielt. Die unterschiedlichen Arten von Massagen waren einfach unglaublich gut. Ich habe mich in meinem Leben schon oft massieren lassen, aber Ajith wurde zu meinem persönlichen indischen Massage-Guru. Anstelle der Yoga-Sitzungen im wunderschön angelegten Garten ging ich täglich im hoteleigenen Fitnessstudio trainieren. Die Küche des Hotels ließ ebenfalls keine Wünsche offen. Sämtliche Mahlzeiten wurden ganz auf meine Bedürfnisse zugeschnitten und waren natürlich ayurvedisch. Ich ernährte mich erstmals in meinem Leben für eine Woche vegetarisch und es tat meinem Körper und meiner Seele gut. Die beiden Köche haben mich auch bei jedem Mittag- und Abendessen aufs Neue fasziniert und mit neuen Menüvariationen überrascht. Das Hotel strahlt einen familiären Charakter aus und man fühlt sich irgendwie als Teil der Familie. Ich habe mich nach einer Woche bereits so gut erholt, dass ich sofort eine weitere Woche buchte. Insgesamt verbrachte ich dann 2,5 Wochen in dem Hotel. Es war sicher einer meiner schönsten Urlaube in meinem Leben, aber ganz sicher der bislang erholsamste Urlaub. The Mangosteen, ich komme wieder! I, 45 years old (m), urgently wanted to leave autumnal northern Germany to bring some light back into my life. For years I have toyed with the idea of ​​going on an Ayurveda holiday. The time was now more than right and after intensive online research I found The Mangosteen in Rawai, Phuket. Here I was able to combine Ayurveda with a holiday in Thailand. I first booked the AyurYoga Panchakarma program for 7 days. When I arrived at the international airport in Phuket, I was picked up by the hotel’s own shuttle bus and chauffeured to the hotel in Rawai. As soon as I arrived at the hotel I knew I had made the right choice. The whole hotel complex is equipped with so much attention to detail. You notice and feel immediately that you have finally arrived in Thailand and that it is showing its most beautiful side there. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful too. I was kindly given a room upgrade (Deluxe Jacuzzi Villa) due to the Covid situation. I felt very comfortable in my small villa and everything was very clean and well maintained. I found it particularly great that the hotel was organized in a sustainable and ecological way (e.g. no plastic, etc.). Filtered water was filled into glass bottles on request and products such as shower gel and shampoo are made from local mangosteen and smell wonderful. The hotel offers a shuttle to the most beautiful beach in Phuket, Nai Harn Beach, several times a day. During a consultation with Dr. Subhash was the first time I was explained in detail what Ayurveda is all about. My weaknesses were identified when filling out a questionnaire and Dr. Subhash then developed an individual healing program for me. The highlight was the daily Ayurveda treatments by Ajith, which I received in the morning and early evening for a full hour. The different types of massages were just incredibly good. I’ve had massages many times in my life, but Ajith has become my personal Indian massage guru. Instead of the yoga sessions in the beautifully landscaped garden, I went to work out daily in the hotel’s gym. The kitchen of the hotel also left nothing to be desired. All meals were tailored to my needs and were of course Ayurvedic. For the first time in my life, I went vegetarian for a week, and it was good for my body and soul. The two chefs fascinated me anew at every lunch and dinner and surprised me with new menu variations. The hotel exudes a family character, and you somehow feel like part of the family. I recovered so well after just one week that I immediately booked another week. I then spent a total of 2.5 weeks in the hotel. It was certainly one of the most beautiful vacations of my life, but definitely the most relaxing vacation so far. The Mangosteen, I’ll be back!

What an inspiring retreat. Amazing warmth from Rose, her husband and team. The caliber of instructors and Ayurvedic treatments were really good. I was reluctant to get the vegan menu option at first as I was expecting boring raw foods and cold salads but wow, what an inspiring and diverse variety of fresh, homemade, and soul warming flavorful vegetable dishes! If I have to pick a fault, I wish the room I had could be brighter lit, with windows that could be fully open for better ventilation. I believe the more premium rooms had more natural light. But then again, the main aim of being here is to get a full inside out retreat for body and mind. I highly recommend their practitioners from Kundalini yoga (Sandy) to Reiki (Michael)! The short stay was renewing, resolved a lot of my aches naturally, and I already miss their chef who has opened up my eyes to how delicious vegan cuisine can be! Thank you!!!

Just spent a week at Mangosteen and feel like a new person. I was really cared for and looked after while I was there. The resort itself, the food, the spa was all immaculate and beautiful. I loved having swims every day in the expansive pool and enjoying yoga classes each morning and afternoon. I highly recommend this spot!

I felt a little nostalgic when I left the Mangosteen Resort. I was there for 10 days and wished I would’ve stayed for an entire month. I’m ready to come back again in the future. This gorgeous place is a piece of paradise with a stunning view. I adore the pool and all of the surroundings. What I loved most was the wonderful hospitality of the owners, Hajo and Rose. They will make you feel like a special friend that came to visit them. I couldn’t have made this trip happen if it weren’t for Mr. Hajo. He assisted me to get to Phuket with the proper documentation. Mr. Hajo went above and beyond to make sure everything was in place. All the Villas look beautiful surrounded by pure nature, my Villa was a dream inside and out. I felt beyond spoiled! Fresh fruit and water every day in a super clean room. The bed and pillows are very, very good, I slept wonderfully. Hot water and great air conditioner and TV. I did the Panchakarma wellness program/retreat for 7 days out of my 10 days stay. Doctor Shanbhag is outstanding. He will sit down with you to come up with a customized program for you, based on your needs. I highly recommend people to come here to do one of their wellness retreats. You’ll feel healthier at the end and with a good knowledge of how to continue when you go back to your home. I spoke with three other guests that were doing the Ayurveda program, and we talked about how divine it is and how good the detox has made them feel. We saw a huge difference. One of the couples told me they were thinking they might extend their stay for one more week. That’s how good it is! My therapist, Bee, is such a sweet and gentle lady. Her hands are magic with her wonderful massages and treatments. She always made me feel so welcome and comfortable to enjoy and relax the therapy of the day. I recommend guests to join the two daily Yoga sessions. I had the opportunity to meet a few of the teachers. Each will have a special, gentle, and meaningful class that will make you feel in the clouds, so relax. One day, a small group of guests went with the owners for a wonderful morning walk/soft hike with stunning views outside the resort. We all truly enjoyed it and it gave us the opportunity to talk and learn a bit about us. The resort has a shuttle that takes you to a nice beach nearby. The food at the restaurant is delicious: breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They have a regular menu, delicious, but also have a special menu for the wellness (Ayurveda and Panchakarma, etc.) programs which are beyond what I expected, clean/organic and full of flavors. The staff at the restaurant: Chefs/Cooks and waiters are a wonderful team that make you feel welcome and take care to feed you well. Thank you all for making me feel so special and well taken care of.

Dear Mangosteen Team, To say that we enjoyed our time with you at this lovely resort would be the simplest truth. And yet, we depart from you having created unreplicable life-long memories. We were treated with kindness and a spirit of service of the highest quality. We basked in the hillside sunshine with no unfulfilled desires. Your food, wine, hands and hearts nourished us and refilled what our stressors have stolen. We want to express our sincerest gratitude for who you are and what you do. It was an honor to be with you as the world reopened to travel. We look forward to a future where we find ourselves back here at the Mangosteen. Until that time, please take good care. Isaiah & Renee F. – 13. November 2021 Renee and Isaiah Review, November 2021, Ayurveda, Wellness, Yoga Retreats, Phuket Thailand, Mangosteen Ayurveda & Wellness Resort, Number 1 Ayurveda Resort in Thailand, Rawai, Phuket.  

„Me and my friend live in Bangkok and went on a 8-day Ayurvedic panchakarma detox. To flush all toxins and build up ama in our body. We had a fully guided and customized program for me and my friend who each have a different Dosha. The program we had was in combination of 2x a day a relaxing ying, hatha, vinyasa or kundalini yoga, we tried them all. The staff was so helpful, friendly, and always ready to serve us with a smile! During an Ayurvedic detox the food is customized for what our body needs and was a healthy mix of different dishes each day, of course, vegetarian! But the kitchen serves more than Ayurvedic choices, if for example you come with a partner that doesn’t do the detox, he/she can choose out of many Thai and International dishes. I came with a purpose; I had pain in my bones and hands, and although it’s not completely gone, since Ayurveda is not a magic pill but an improvement of your symptoms, I am definitely feeling 80% better. Less stiff, less bloated, less pain. I will continue with the doctors‘ recommendations for the coming weeks to follow up at home, and I am convinced that in the end I will be pain free! If you have any health issues, I can wholeheartedly recommend Mangosteen resort and the residing dr. Subhash to help you find a plan to ease some of your issues.“

„One week is not enough at Mangosteen. I could stay there forever. The resort is gorgeous with enough space to give you the privacy that you need. The villas are spacious and spotless and have everything I needed. The food and beverage offered are fantastic and every day I looked forward to the next meal. The Ayurvedic program was excellent, and the doctor took time every day to answer all my questions. I am very much looking forward to going back.“

My husband and I came to Thailand specifically to do a 2 weeks Ayurvedic program. We are so pleased with Dr. Subhash and his five therapists. We were treated very kindly and generously and feel relaxed and rejuvenated by our anti-aging regime of daily yoga, vegan food, massage and detoxification. Dr. Subhash has a thorough and comprehensive knowledge of Ayurveda medicine. We highly recommend the Ayur-yoga program and hope to come back next year for round 2. Thank you for your care.

I was doing an 11 days detox program and can only say that this was by far the best treatments I had. The team of practitioners are outstanding in skills, knowledge about the muscles, technique and overall, most welcoming and friendly. I feel rejuvenated, healthier, even lost some weight, my pain is almost gone, and I would recommend this treatment to everybody. Thanks very much for this great experience and I think you will see me coming back again.

I feel wonderful, clear headed and lighter. Thanks for the fabulous massages that tightened up my skin and smoothed out the flob underneath. I hope to find some similar massages in my new home, especially the scrub, powder and warm stones. Thanks also for the 7 days of yoga to stretch my muscles and strengthen my body. Most of all, thanks for your warm hearted tender care.

It has been a great week of yoga, massaging and eating. I was amazed that I have gone a week without a cup of coffee. The treatment, the food and the tea has made me free of the coffee headache I usually have. Also I thought I would be hungry if I didn’t eat meat but the program has proven otherwise. Thanks to all the massage therapist, the treatments were wonderful, the steam room really cleaned out my pores and I truly feel detoxed.

Mind Body & Spirit; they thought of everything! This place is magical. From reception to the very sad good-byes, we wanted for nothing. We were received with the staff meeting us at the private car they arranged for us from the airport. They took our bags then lead us to seats in their comfortable lobby over looking the beautiful bay. They had refreshing drinks and a cold, beautifully scented, wash clothes waiting for us. Checking in was a breeze, seriously there was this magical beautiful breeze coming through the reception. Our room was spacious and beautiful, the pictures don’t do it justice. The service was above and beyond, we wanted for nothing or if we did… they moved heaven and earth to accommodate us. Everyone was friendly and full of smiles. The restaurant manager’s laugh was contagious, we really enjoyed him. The food was all amazing, the best I have EVER had in all the resorts I have ever been to, and I have traveled! I ate from every menu they offered and loved it all. The resort is clean, manicured, lacking for nothing. The spa is heaven on earth. The Dr. was so accommodating and tailored our treatments to our individual goals. We got the all inclusive and then treated ourselves above and beyond and I highly recommend you do the same. The masseuses‘ all had such beautiful healing hands, not sure how you teach that, but they all had the gift. Do not hesitate to go to this beautiful magical place to feed your mind, your body and your soul. It will not disappoint.

Wir hatten sehr erholsame, ruhige Tage in dieser sehr schönen Anlage. Unser Bungalow war klasse, das gesamte Personal sehr freundlich und unaufdringlich, aber stets hilfsbereit. Der Pool super schön, mit Meerblick und das täglich mehrmals fahrende Shuttle zum schönen Strand, ein toller Service. Es gibt gar nichts zu meckern, es war einfach traumhaft. Vielen Dank an alle Mitarbeiter dieses Resorts.

We planned to stay here for three nights and extended to six, and we would have stayed longer (if not for COVID-19). The resort is an excellent mix of yoga retreat and relaxing hotel, you are able to choose how much of a retreat you go on as an individual, your party doesn’t all need to be the same which we thought worked really well. We were part of the wellness package with yoga twice a day and our food included. The yoga instructors were very good and catered for all levels, Kong was brilliant and we looked forward to her classes the most. The food was exceptional and their soups excellent. A full vegan buffet was lunch and dinner with the option of a meat/vegetarian menu which was always delicious, breakfast was one of the best I have ever had, ever. The pool area was lovely with an exceptional view enjoyed from the comfy floating bean bags, the only thing that occasionally let it down as the guy who worked there selling some kind of time shares to Australians or anyone else who would listen, his voice cut through the calm. Rose and her husband as well as all their staff were lovely and I would definitely return to enjoy a relaxing break again and recommend to anyone.

If you need timeout from stressful daily life this is the place to be! I can’t stop talking about my stay here, LOVED IT LOVED IT LOVED IT! Nothing I’ve been to comes close to it. Staff & food were amazing. Everything you would ever need and more are in your room so you have no reason to go elsewhere.

After doing my own research for a health retreat, I chose Mangosteen over several other options for an all inclusive wellness programme. I arrived late evening, and upon checking in, my dinner was prepared, during which the owner came over and introduced himself and spoke with me for a while, I immediately knew I’d made the right decision. Every member of staff in the resort are friendly and courteous, the place is kept remarkably clean and tidy, which considering the size of the gardens and greenery must be no mean feat! The setting for morning yoga could not be more perfect, the spa and treatments are excellent, as are the staff there also. The views from the higher parts of the resort are stunning, it is also well placed for those who want to rent a scooter and venture outside. The serviced pool area is relaxing, staff are never far away should you require anything. Clearly the owner puts a lot of time into the upkeep and service provided by Mangosteen, and I would highly recommend it to anyone whether it be for health, wellness, or just a nice vacation in a stunning location that’ll put a smile on your face every morning! Be proud guys, very well done ?!

I loved the tranquil and relaxed atmosphere at the resort. The staff treats you all like royalty: they are always nice, superfriendly and helpful. The food was absolutely nice and tasty. Yoga classes were very different and showed me all kinds of yoga. The spa is absolutely to die for: lovely treatments in the most relaxed environment.

Reviewed a Wellness Escape in January 2019 PROS: The staff is amazing and accommodating, the rooms are beautiful and the food is incredible. You can feel the place is passionate about health and wellbeing. The Dr is super nice and knowledgeable and the massages are amazing. They will accommodate any changes to the initial plan without issues. CONS: The fact I didn’t book for a longer stay. RATINGS: Overall Impression: Perfect Accommodation & Facilities: Perfect Food: Perfect Location: Perfect Value for money: Perfect Quality of activity: Perfect

I loved everything about this place. I almost didn’t book it because it was out of my price range, but I am so glad I did. The yoga in the morning was great and the massages were awesome. Also, I can’t say enough about the meals. They were absolutely delicious. I had no idea what my lunch and dinner would be since the chef prepared fresh vegan meals that day. Extremely healthy and extremely tasty. I highly recommend coming here and I am trying to see when I can come back!

The high quality spa treatments The amazing yoga classes We loved Grace (vinyasa yoga teacher). She was so happy! The incredibly nourishing food Huge and comfortable beds Lovely, free shuttle to the beach The kind staff It was my first wellbeing retreat and I chose the Mangosteen based on the nice balance of yoga, massage and nurturing food. My mum came with me and we were just blown away. The yoga teachers were fabulous and their classes had so much Soul. Every night, we went to bed looking forward to the yoga class in the morning! The Prana Sala is a beautiful place to practice. After our morning yoga class (which was perfect for both beginner and well seasoned practitioners), we would go for breakfast which was so delicious! Fresh and healthy, we loved the resorts green tea and roselle juice! The staff in the restaurant and by the pool are just amazing! They’re glowing smiles are infectious anne we so enjoyed seeing them every day! An added bonus is that there is a free shuttle to the beach throughout the day. We would go straight after breakfast for a few hours. The beach is lovely and you can pay 100 baht for a sun lounger with umbrella which is great. The food was sensational and the spa treatments were of incredibly high quality (better than in the UK). For the price we paid, it exceeded our expectations. We don’t have a bad word to say! Amazing place!

We enjoyed our 7 days at The Mangosteen Resort and were sorry to leave. The whole team at Mangosteen are so friendly and helpful. We ate at the restaurant onsite most nights and thank you Om and Oilly, who were so helpful in accommodating my dietary concerns and the food was exceptional. The walk to the main road took about 5-10 minutes where there were other restaurants and shops. The reception staff were very helpful in arranging transport for half day or full day tours, as well as taxi’s. We took a taxi to Rawai Beach & selected seafood from the fish market, there were restaurants opposite who will cook your seafood – so fresh and delicious. There is a shuttle bus available 3 times a day to Nai Harn beach, one of the best beaches. The water was so clean and warm, a must to have a swim there. The villas are very comfortable and the outdoor bathrooms are unique. Happy hours were enjoyed by most guests and the way the guests interacted was fabulous, we made quite a few new friends. Each night the owners Hajo and Rose were in the restaurant and always had a chat with us all. No wonder they have such a great team with the leadership that they show. We enjoyed massages, yoga and I really enjoyed the crystal bowl meditation. The grounds are very well kept and the pool magnificent. If you want seclusion that is easily done or if you want to mingle with other guests that is up to you. We would definitely love to return there for another holiday.
