The Mangosteen Ayurveda & Wellness Resort

“Feeling like a new person. Just spent a week at the Mangosteen and feel like a new person. I was really cared for and looked after while I was there. The resort itself, the food, and the spa were 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 feel rejuvenated, healthier, even lost some weight! I did an 11-day detox programme and can only say that this was by far the best treatment I had. The team of practitioners is outstanding in skills, knowledge about the muscles, technique and overall, most welcoming and friendly. I feel rejuvenated, healthier, and have 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.”

“We are very happy. Doing excellently a week after detox. All deals have been great. Our doctor has been excellent with yoga and everything. Thanks very much. See you next year.”

“A beautiful experience to treasure forever! I felt a little nostalgic when I left the Mangosteen Resort. I was there for 10 days and wished I had 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 its surroundings. What I loved most was the wonderful hospitality of the owners, Hajo and Rose. They will make you feel like a special friend who came to visit them. I couldn’t have made this trip happen without Mr. Hajo. He assisted me in obtaining the proper documentation to travel to Phuket. 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, a great air conditioner, and a TV. I participated in the 7-day Panchakarma wellness programme during my 10-day stay. Doctor Shanbhag is outstanding. He will sit down with you to develop a customised programme tailored to your needs. I highly recommend that people come here to do one of their wellness retreats. You’ll feel healthier in the end and have a good understanding of how to continue when you return home. I spoke with three other guests who were participating in the Ayurveda programme, and we discussed how divine it is and how well the detox has made them feel. We saw a huge difference. One of the couples told me they were considering extending 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, and I enjoyed and relaxed during the therapy sessions of the day. I recommend guests join the two daily yoga sessions. I had the opportunity to meet a few of the teachers. Each has a special, gentle, and meaningful class that will make you feel like you're in the clouds, so relax. One day, a small group of guests accompanied the owners on 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 each other. The resort offers a shuttle service that transports you to a nearby beach. 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.) programmes, which are beyond what I expected, clean/organic, and full of flavours. The staff at the restaurant, including chefs, cooks, and waiters, form a wonderful team that makes you feel welcome and takes care to feed you well. Thank you all for making me feel so special and well taken care of.”

“I highly recommend the Ayurveda 7-day detox programme. I feel refreshed and energised. I thoroughly enjoyed the morning yoga sessions. The food was delicious and plentiful. I will be back next year.”

“Re-set from the madness of your life. The 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 attendees of the resort who are undertaking the Ayurvedic programmes. 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 realised 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 to stay for two weeks next time! Thank you 🙏 Hajo, Rose, and your amazing team!”

“Hope to come back next year for round 2! My husband and I came to Thailand specifically to do a two-weeks Ayurvedic programme. 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 programme and hope to come back next year for round 2. Thank you for your care.”

“What an inspiring retreat. Amazing warmth from Rose, her husband and team. The calibre of instructors and Ayurvedic treatments was 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 flavourful 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!!!”

“I truly feel detoxed. 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 programme has proven otherwise. Thanks to all the massage therapists, the treatments were wonderful, the steam room really cleaned out my pores and I truly feel detoxed.”

“Perfection. 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 programme. I have recently recovered from a major illness and Doctor Nazeem 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.”
