The Yogarden is located on a quaint side street in the iconic area of Fisherman’s Village Koh Sami. The Village community is rich in character, retaining its historical heritage through its architecture; warm welcoming locals and beautiful seafront, which harbors some of the islands most spectacular traditional boats. Serene views across to Koh Phangan cast a perfect backdrop to the village ambience. The lively streets tempt visitors with a plethora of shops, boutiques, bars and restaurants and play host to a weekly pedestrian night market. Each Friday the village buzzes with an intoxicating, lively atmosphere. Street vendors from all over Thailand trade their hand made crafts and natural products, whilst the scents and smells of Thai cuisine fill the air and local musicians and traditional Thai dancers perform for passing audiences. The unique magic of Thailand and its people is here to be absorbed in one of the island’s most treasured and intimate spots. Just behind the main street of Fisherman’s village, The Yogarden welcomes you with its offerings of health, wellness, nature, art, fun, beauty, calm and community. We are located off the main village road and can be accessed through the back gate behind The Shack or just through the main entrance gate of the village. Turn left at the teahouse and follow the Lann Thong road until you see The Yogarden on the right-hand side. The Yogarden comprises a traditional, 80-year-old, teak house set within a large relaxing garden. Our Yoga sala is a covered open-air platform within the garden setting. We also invite you to enjoy the creative elements in the art studio, dedicated kids room and therapy room or treat yourself to a healthy bite in the indoor/ outdoor café.
