About Amity Wellness
Amity Wellness is an intimate, family-run boutique detox and wellness retreat in Rawai, Phuket, Thailand. Established in 2012, the retreat features just 12 private guest rooms, two swimming pools and dedicated wellness facilities, with the entire property focused exclusively on wellness, cleansing and fasting programs.
Unlike a hotel or resort where wellness programs operate alongside regular holiday guests, Amity Wellness is exclusively a wellness retreat. All resident guests are participating in a wellness program, and there is no restaurant, bar, alcohol, caffeine or smoking on the premises. This creates a supportive, distraction-free environment where guests can focus on their wellness goals without many of the everyday temptations they may encounter at a conventional resort.
Amity Wellness programs combine raw vegan nutrition, juicing or fasting options with daily restorative massage, self-administered gravity-fed colon cleansing, daily FIR Inflammation Pod sessions with oxygen, daily wellness activities, educational talks and ongoing guidance from our experienced team.
With just 12 private guest rooms and the entire retreat dedicated to wellness, Amity offers an intimate and personal experience where guests can slow down, reconnect with themselves and make self-care the priority. Whether you come to reset, recharge or make positive lifestyle changes, your time at Amity is an opportunity to focus entirely on you.
Amity Wellness is located in Rawai at the southern tip of Phuket, Thailand, giving our guests easy access to beaches on both the east and west sides of the island.
Friendship Beach, also known locally as Sunrise Beach, is approximately 900 metres from Amity Wellness, around a 10-minute walk away. Located on Phuket’s east coast, it is a tidal beach and is not ideal for swimming, but it is a lovely spot for an early morning walk and watching the sunrise over Chalong Bay.
For swimming, sunbathing, walking and beach time, Amity Wellness provides a daily complimentary beach shuttle that alternates between two of southern Phuket’s popular beaches.
Nai Harn Beach is approximately 4.2 km from Amity Wellness on Phuket’s southwest coast. Regularly recognised as one of Thailand’s best beaches, Nai Harn has a wide stretch of soft sand and is a great choice for swimming, beach walks, relaxing and watching Phuket’s beautiful west-coast sunsets.
Ya Nui Beach is approximately 5 km from Amity Wellness and is a smaller, more intimate beach tucked between Nai Harn and Promthep Cape. Its sheltered bay is particularly popular for swimming, snorkelling and kayaking, with equipment available to rent locally.
Being based at the southern tip of Phuket means our guests can enjoy sunrise on the east coast and swimming, beach walks and sunsets on the west coast, all within a short distance of the retreat.
Amity Wellness has been welcoming guests to Phuket since 2012.
Over the years, our programs, therapies and facilities have continued to evolve as the wellness industry has developed, while Amity has remained an intimate, family-run boutique wellness retreat focused on personal attention and a supportive environment.
Many of our guests return to Amity regularly, and much of our business continues to come through returning guests and personal recommendations.
Yes. Amity Wellness is an independent, family-run wellness retreat, founded in Phuket in 2012 by Michelle and Robert Cooper.
Today, the retreat continues to be run by the family, with Michelle, Robert and his wife and retreat manager, Palida Pimarn, working alongside our longstanding wellness team in Phuket.
Many members of our team have been part of Amity for years, creating the personal and familiar atmosphere that our returning guests have come to know and love.
Remaining independent allows us to take a hands-on approach to the retreat and continually evolve our programs and facilities based on our experience, developments within the wellness industry and, importantly, feedback from the guests who stay with us.
What sets Amity Wellness apart is that wellness is not an addition to the experience; it is the entire purpose of the retreat.
Unlike larger hotels and resorts where wellness guests may share the property and facilities with regular holidaymakers, every resident guest at Amity is participating in a wellness program. The retreat has no restaurant or bar, and alcohol, caffeine and smoking are not permitted on the premises, helping to create a supportive, distraction-free environment focused entirely on wellbeing.
With just 12 private guest rooms, our team is able to provide a highly personal level of guidance and support. Guests quickly become familiar with our wellness team and with one another, while still having plenty of space and privacy when they want time to themselves.
Our all-inclusive programs bring together accommodation, raw vegan nutrition, juicing or fasting options, daily restorative massage, self-administered gravity-fed colon cleansing, daily FIR Inflammation Pod sessions with oxygen, twice daily wellness activities, educational talks and ongoing support in one structured wellness stay.
Amity has specialised in this style of retreat since 2012, and many new guests discover us through personal recommendations from previous and returning guests.
Amity Wellness is an intimate boutique wellness retreat with just 12 private guest rooms, two swimming pools and dedicated wellness facilities.
We are a dedicated wellness retreat rather than a conventional resort with a separate spa or wellness department. Our accommodation, facilities, daily schedule, nutrition and team are all centred around guests participating in our wellness programs.
Keeping the retreat intimate allows our team to get to know the people staying with us and provide a more personal and supportive experience throughout their stay.
No. Amity Wellness is a wellness and detox retreat and is not a hospital, medical clinic or medically licensed facility.
Our wellness programs focus on general wellbeing through nutrition, fasting and cleansing options, movement, relaxation, wellness education and complementary therapies. We do not diagnose or treat medical conditions and cannot provide the medical supervision or oversight that may be required for certain health conditions or more complex medication needs.
All guests are required to complete our online health pre-screening before their wellness program booking can be confirmed. This allows our team to review relevant health information, prescribed medications and potential contraindications to determine whether our retreat and wellness protocols are appropriate for each guest.
Amity Wellness is best described as an all-inclusive wellness and detox retreat specialising in structured cleansing and fasting programs.
We recognise that guests use many different terms when searching for this type of experience, including wellness retreat, detox retreat, cleanse retreat and fasting retreat. At Amity, guests can choose from different nutritional and cleansing approaches, including raw vegan cleansing, juicing, intermittent fasting and Full Fast options, subject to individual suitability and our health pre-screening requirements.
Regardless of the program structure you choose, the wider Amity experience focuses on general wellbeing, rest, nutrition, movement, relaxation, self-care and giving yourself dedicated time away from the demands of everyday life.
Amity Wellness has received the Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Award for five consecutive years, including the 2026 Travellers’ Choice Award.
These awards are based on reviews and ratings shared by travellers and recognise businesses that consistently receive positive guest feedback.
As an independent boutique retreat, we are particularly proud that so many of our guests choose to share their experiences and recommend Amity to others.
Guests travel to Amity Wellness from around the world and come for many different reasons. Some arrive with specific wellness, nutrition or lifestyle goals, while others simply recognise that they have been putting themselves last for too long and need dedicated time to focus on their own wellbeing.
For some guests, their stay comes during a period of significant change or transition in their lives. This might be navigating hormonal changes such as perimenopause or menopause, recovering from a particularly stressful period, feeling physically or emotionally burnt out, reflecting on a major life change, or simply reaching the point where some overdue self-care is needed.
Others come to reset their lifestyle habits, improve their relationship with food, take a break from alcohol, caffeine and processed foods, reconnect with movement, prioritise sleep and recovery, or simply step away from the demands and distractions of everyday life. For many, the goal is to return home feeling rested, rejuvenated and motivated to make positive changes.
We welcome both first-time wellness retreat guests and experienced cleansers, and many of our guests return to Amity regularly when they feel it is time to reset and prioritise themselves again.
Because Amity is dedicated entirely to wellness programs, everyone staying at the retreat has made the same decision to take time out and focus on their wellbeing. This creates a supportive environment where guests can share the experience with like-minded people while still having plenty of space for privacy, reflection and time alone.
Yes. Many of our guests travel to Amity Wellness alone, and a wellness retreat can be a wonderful opportunity to enjoy time entirely for yourself, without the responsibilities and demands of everyday life.
Every guest has their own private accommodation, giving you the freedom to spend your downtime exactly as you choose. You might find a quiet spot to read, relax by the pool, sunbathe, take a walk, visit the beach, journal, reflect or simply enjoy having nowhere else you need to be.
At the same time, travelling alone does not mean you need to feel alone. Amity has a friendly and supportive atmosphere, with twice-daily group activities, wellness talks and shared spaces providing natural opportunities to meet and connect with other guests from around the world.
There is never any pressure to socialise or participate in every activity. Some guests embrace the social side of retreat life, while others value the solitude and opportunity for personal reflection. Most find their own balance between the two.
With only 12 private guest rooms and two swimming pools, it does not take long to recognise familiar faces, and many lasting friendships have begun at Amity between people who originally arrived in Phuket on their own.
Yes. Many guests come to Amity Wellness for their very first wellness retreat, and you do not need any previous experience with fasting, raw vegan nutrition, yoga, cleansing or wellness programs to stay with us.
Your program begins with a registration meeting with one of our friendly wellness consultants. This is an opportunity to discuss your goals, preferences and how you are feeling on arrival and decide on the program structure that feels most appropriate for you. All of our core wellness program structures are the same price, so your decision does not need to be based on cost.
You will then receive a detailed program orientation so you understand how everything works, what to expect and how to get the most from your stay.
Throughout your cleanse, our team of wellness program coordinators is available every day to guide and support you. They will help you understand your daily schedule, cleansing protocols and wellness activities and are there to answer questions or provide support whenever you need it.
Coming to Amity does not mean that you have to undertake a Full Fast. We offer different nutritional approaches, including raw vegan cleansing, juicing and intermittent fasting options, and your program structure can be discussed with your wellness consultant when you arrive.
Whether this is your first cleanse or you have been attending wellness retreats for years, you will be guided through the experience from the moment your program begins.
Yes. We welcome many couples, friends and adult family members who choose to experience Amity Wellness together, and we are pleased to report that no one has got divorced yet!
Every resident guest at Amity must be enrolled in a wellness program, as the retreat is dedicated exclusively to wellness guests and we do not offer accommodation-only stays. The minimum age to stay at Amity Wellness and participate in a program is 18 years old.
Travelling together does not mean you have to follow exactly the same program. Each guest can choose the nutritional approach most appropriate for them, subject to our pre-screening requirements. For example, one person may choose a fasting program while their partner or friend follows a raw vegan cleanse.
You can take part in activities together, relax by the pool, head to the beach or enjoy some downtime, while still having the freedom to approach your individual wellness goals in your own way. For many couples, friends and families, sharing the experience provides an additional source of motivation and support throughout their stay.
We love families, but due to the intimate nature of our cleansing programs, Amity Wellness has an adults-only policy and the minimum age for staying at the retreat and participating in a wellness program is 18 years old.
This helps us maintain the comfortable, supportive and distraction-free environment that is such an important part of the Amity experience. For this reason, we are unable to accommodate children or anyone under the age of 18, including children sharing a room with a parent or guardian.
Adult families are very welcome to experience Amity together, provided each guest is enrolled in a wellness program.
As Amity Wellness is dedicated entirely to wellness, all guests staying at the retreat are enrolled in one of our wellness programs and we do not offer accommodation-only stays.
Having everyone at Amity sharing a similar focus on their wellbeing is an important part of the retreat experience. It helps us maintain the supportive and distraction-free environment that makes Amity different from a conventional hotel or resort.
If you are travelling to Phuket with a partner, friend or family member who would prefer not to participate in a wellness program, that is absolutely fine. There are plenty of hotels and accommodation options nearby in Rawai, and our team will be happy to suggest some convenient options so you can still enjoy time together during your stay.
The primary language of Amity Wellness programs is English. Our wellness guidance, educational talks and written program information are provided in English, while many members of our onsite team also speak Thai.
Because understanding the cleansing protocols and safety guidance is important, guests need a sufficient level of English to understand program instructions and communicate with our wellness team.
We welcome guests from many different countries, but we are currently unable to provide the complete wellness program or educational talks in other languages.
The atmosphere at Amity Wellness is warm, welcoming and personal. With just 12 guest rooms and everyone attending for their own wellness journey, there is a natural understanding that each person has come to Amity to focus on their wellbeing, reset, reflect or dedicate some much-needed time to themselves.
There is no ego and no judgement. Guests arrive from different countries, backgrounds and stages of life, each with their own reasons for being here. That shared intention creates a very special sense of community where people can feel comfortable simply being themselves.
Our team is at the heart of the Amity experience. We have built our reputation around genuine care and personal support, taking the time to get to know our guests and being there to encourage, guide and support them throughout their stay. It is something frequently reflected in our guest feedback and one of the reasons so many guests choose to return to Amity year after year.
There is also plenty of space to experience the retreat in your own way. You can join our group activities, connect with other guests, relax by one of the swimming pools, read, visit the beach, walk, journal, reflect or simply slow down and enjoy having nowhere else you need to be.
Some guests leave with new friendships, some leave having enjoyed valuable time alone, and many experience a little of both. At Amity, there is no expectation to be anything other than where you are right now.
Choosing Your Wellness Package
Amity Wellness offers a structured cleansing program with a flexible approach to nutrition, allowing guests to choose or combine different nutritional options during their stay. These include our Raw Cleanse, Juice Cleanse, Intermittent Fasting Program and Full Fast.
While the nutritional approach may differ, the wider Amity Wellness program is designed around supporting digestive health, nutrition and the body's natural elimination processes through a combination of nutrition, cleansing protocols, movement, relaxation and complementary wellness therapies.
Raw Cleanse focuses on fresh, nutrient-rich raw vegan meals, juices and our wider cleansing protocols while allowing you to continue nourishing your body throughout your program.
Juice Cleanse replaces meals with freshly prepared vegetable and fruit juices, providing a lighter nutritional approach while continuing to provide nutrients and energy throughout the day.
Intermittent Fasting combines periods of fasting with a daily eating window that can be adapted to your needs, offering a middle ground between our food-based Raw Cleanse and Full Fast.
Full Fast is our most intensive fasting option and removes solid food for a defined period while following Amity's structured fasting and cleansing protocols.
You do not necessarily have to choose just one approach for your entire stay. Many guests combine different stages, for example beginning with the Raw Cleanse, progressing into a period of Full Fast or Intermittent Fasting, and returning to raw vegan nutrition towards the end of their program.
Whichever nutritional approach you follow, the wider Amity Wellness program can include our specially formulated cleansing shakes and botanical supplements, daily restorative massage, self-administered gravity-fed colon cleansing, a daily FIR Inflammation Pod session with oxygen, twice-daily wellness activities, daily herbal sauna, educational talks and ongoing support from our wellness team.
Individual supplements, therapies and cleansing protocols may be adapted or excluded where a potential contraindication is identified during the initial health pre-screening process.
Your nutritional approach can be discussed with one of our wellness consultants during your registration meeting at the retreat, allowing you to choose a structure that reflects your goals, preferences, previous cleansing experience and individual suitability.
You do not need to know exactly which nutritional approach you want to follow before arriving at Amity Wellness.
Some guests arrive already knowing that they would like to follow a Full Fast, Raw Cleanse, Juice Cleanse or Intermittent Fasting Program, while others prefer to decide once they are at the retreat.
At the beginning of your program, you will have a registration meeting with one of our wellness consultants. Together, you can discuss your goals, previous detox, cleansing or fasting experience, food preferences, how you are feeling on arrival and what you hope to gain from your time at Amity. Your initial health pre-screening will have identified whether there are any contraindications that mean certain nutritional approaches, supplements or wellness protocols are not appropriate for you.
There is no pressure to undertake our most intensive Full Fast. For many guests, particularly those experiencing a detox or wellness retreat for the first time, continuing to nourish the body through our Raw Cleanse or choosing an Intermittent Fasting approach can provide a more comfortable introduction to the Amity experience.
Your program also does not have to remain the same throughout your stay. Depending on your individual suitability, you can combine different nutritional approaches and adjust your program as you progress. Many guests begin by nourishing with raw vegan food, move into a period of Full Fast or Intermittent Fasting, and then return to the Raw Cleanse before leaving the retreat.
The aim is not to complete the most intensive program possible. It is to find an approach that feels appropriate for you and allows you to make the most of the dedicated time you have chosen to invest in your wellbeing.
No. You do not need to decide which nutritional approach you will follow before arriving at Amity Wellness.
You are welcome to arrive with an idea of whether you would like to follow the Raw Cleanse, Intermittent Fasting Program, Juice Cleanse or Full Fast, but there is no need to make a final decision when you book (only the duration is fixed in advance).
Before your stay, you will complete our health pre-screening so that we can identify any potential contraindications to fasting, nutritional or detox protocols.
Once you arrive at Amity, your program begins with a registration meeting with one of our wellness consultants. This gives you the opportunity to discuss your goals, previous detox or fasting experience, preferences and how you are feeling before deciding on the most appropriate way to begin your cleanse.
Your initial choice is also not fixed for the duration of your stay. Subject to individual suitability, you can move between different nutritional approaches as your program progresses.
Yes. All of our core wellness program options are the same price, whether you choose the Raw Cleanse, Juice Cleanse, Intermittent Fasting Program, Full Fast or combine different nutritional approaches during your stay.
We believe your choice should be based on the approach that feels most appropriate for you, rather than one program being positioned as a more expensive or premium option.
Your program price includes the wider Amity Wellness experience, including your chosen nutritional approach, cleansing protocols and supplements, daily restorative massage, self-administered gravity-fed colon cleansing, daily FIR Inflammation Pod session with oxygen, daily herbal sauna, twice-daily wellness activities, educational talks and ongoing support from our wellness team.
If your nutritional approach changes during your stay, there is no additional program charge. This gives you the flexibility to move between Raw Cleanse, Juice Cleanse, Intermittent Fasting and Full Fast options, subject to individual suitability and any contraindications identified during your health pre-screening.
The Raw Cleanse is Amity Wellness’s food-based cleansing option, combining fresh, nutrient-rich raw vegan meals and juices with the wider cleansing protocols, treatments and wellness activities included in our program.
It is designed for guests who want to continue nourishing their body with whole, plant-based foods while taking a break from alcohol, caffeine, refined sugar, highly processed foods and other everyday dietary habits.
Our raw vegan kitchen prepares fresh meals using a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, herbs and other plant-based ingredients, with a focus on providing nutrient-dense food that is both nourishing and enjoyable. The Raw Cleanse also includes fresh juices alongside Amity’s cleansing shakes, botanical supplements and other nutritional support.
Choosing the Raw Cleanse does not mean missing out on the wider Amity detox experience. Subject to individual suitability, guests can still participate in our self-administered gravity-fed colon cleansing, daily restorative massage, FIR Inflammation Pod sessions with oxygen, herbal sauna, twice-daily wellness activities, educational talks and other cleansing protocols.
The Raw Cleanse can be followed throughout your entire stay or used before and after a period of Juice Cleanse, Intermittent Fasting or Full Fast. It is particularly suitable for guests looking for a more restorative cleanse, those experiencing a detox retreat for the first time, guests who prefer not to fast, or anyone who wants to place a greater focus on nutrition during their stay.
Because the Raw Cleanse provides regular nourishment throughout the day, it can also be a good choice for guests who want to focus on more intensive physical activities during their retreat, while still participating in Amity’s wider cleansing and wellness program.
The Juice Cleanse replaces solid meals with freshly prepared cold pressed vegetable and fruit juices while continuing with Amity Wellness’s wider cleansing protocols, treatments and wellness activities.
Our juices are carefully prepared using predominantly low to moderate glycaemic combinations of vegetables and fruits. Rather than relying on high-sugar fruit juices, we focus on balanced blends that provide vitamins, minerals and naturally occurring plant nutrients while allowing guests to take a break from solid food.
Throughout the day, the Juice Cleanse is supported by Amity’s cleansing shakes, botanical supplements, young coconut water, detox tonic, mineral broth and other nutritional support included within the program.
In terms of intensity, the Juice Cleanse sits between our Intermittent Fasting Program and Full Fast. It provides more nutritional intake than a Full Fast, while the absence of solid meals makes it a more intensive cleansing approach than our Intermittent Fasting Program.
The Juice Cleanse can be followed for a defined period during your stay or incorporated as a transition between other nutritional approaches. Some guests may, for example, progress from Raw Cleanse or Intermittent Fasting into a Juice Cleanse before moving into a Full Fast, or use it as a gradual transition back towards food.
Subject to individual suitability, guests continue with the wider Amity detox program, including self-administered gravity-fed colon cleansing, daily restorative massage, FIR Inflammation Pod sessions with oxygen, herbal sauna, twice-daily wellness activities and educational talks.
For guests who would like a more intensive cleanse without undertaking a Full Fast, the Juice Cleanse provides a middle ground while still offering nutritional support throughout the day.
The Intermittent Fasting Program combines a daily period of fasting with a defined eating window, allowing you to experience the benefits of taking a structured break from food while continuing to nourish your body each day.
Unlike our Juice Cleanse and Full Fast, the Intermittent Fasting Program still includes solid food. During your eating window, you will enjoy fresh, nutrient-rich raw vegan food prepared by our kitchen, alongside the nutritional and cleansing support included within your Amity program.
The timing and length of your eating window can be adapted to your individual needs rather than following one fixed fasting schedule for every guest. This makes Intermittent Fasting a flexible option for those who want to introduce periods of fasting without completely removing solid food.
In terms of intensity, the Intermittent Fasting Program sits between our Raw Cleanse and Juice Cleanse. It can be particularly suitable for guests who would like to explore fasting for the first time, those looking for a balance between nourishment and fasting, or guests who want to maintain more energy for physical activities during their stay.
As with our other nutritional approaches, guests continue with the wider Amity detox and wellness program, subject to individual suitability. This includes our cleansing protocols and supplements, self-administered gravity-fed colon cleansing, daily restorative massage, FIR Inflammation Pod sessions with oxygen, herbal sauna, twice-daily wellness activities, educational talks and ongoing support from our wellness team.
The Intermittent Fasting Program can be followed throughout your stay or combined with the Raw Cleanse, Juice Cleanse or Full Fast as your program progresses.
The Full Fast is Amity Wellness’s most intensive cleansing and fasting option. During a Full Fast, solid food and juices are removed for a defined period while you continue with the nutritional support, cleansing protocols, treatments and wellness activities included within the wider Amity program.
Rather than receiving meals or juices, the Full Fast is supported throughout the day with Amity’s specially formulated cleansing shakes, botanical supplements, young coconut water, detox tonic, mineral support, evening mineral broth and plenty of premium water.
The Full Fast is designed to provide a complete break from regular food intake while guests are supported through Amity’s wider cleansing program. Subject to individual suitability, this includes self-administered gravity-fed colon cleansing, daily restorative massage, FIR Inflammation Pod sessions with oxygen, herbal sauna, wellness activities, educational talks and ongoing support from our wellness team.
As our most intensive nutritional approach, the Full Fast is not necessarily the most appropriate choice for every guest. Previous fasting experience, current health, medications and information provided during your health pre-screening are all considered when determining whether fasting is suitable.
A Full Fast also does not need to continue for your entire stay. Many guests begin with the Raw Cleanse or another nutritional approach before progressing into a period of Full Fast and then return to nourishing raw vegan food towards the end of their program.
For guests who are suitable for fasting, the Full Fast offers the most intensive version of the Amity cleansing experience within the supportive environment of the retreat.
The maximum length of a Full Fast at Amity Wellness is 10 days. Guests are very welcome to stay for longer than this and can combine their fasting period with our Raw Cleanse, Juice Cleanse or Intermittent Fasting Program before or after their fast.
Yes. One of the advantages of the Amity Wellness program is the flexibility to combine different nutritional approaches during the same stay, subject to your individual suitability and health pre-screening.
You might choose to begin with the Raw Cleanse to nourish your body and settle into the retreat, progress into Intermittent Fasting, a Juice Cleanse or Full Fast, and then return to raw vegan nutrition towards the end of your program.
There is no requirement to follow the same nutritional approach from beginning to end. Your program can evolve throughout your stay depending on your goals, how you are feeling and the level of cleansing or fasting that is appropriate for you.
This flexibility is particularly useful for longer stays. For example, while the maximum Full Fast at Amity Wellness is 10 days, guests can stay for longer and combine their fasting period with other nutritional approaches before and after their fast.
Changing between the Raw Cleanse, Intermittent Fasting, Juice Cleanse and Full Fast does not change the price of your core wellness program, so your choices can be based on what feels most appropriate for your experience rather than cost.
Our wellness consultants and program coordinators are available throughout your stay to help you understand the different options and support you as your program progresses.
Yes. Your duration is fixed in advance but your nutritional approach at Amity Wellness is flexible and, subject to individual suitability, you can change between the Raw Cleanse, Intermittent Fasting, Juice Cleanse and Full Fast during your stay.
We understand that it can be difficult to know exactly how you will feel until your cleanse begins. You may arrive intending to complete a Full Fast and decide that you would prefer additional nourishment, or you may begin with the Raw Cleanse and later feel ready to progress into Intermittent Fasting, juicing or a period of Full Fast.
Our wellness consultants and program coordinators are available throughout your stay to discuss how you are feeling and help you understand the different options available to you.
There is no additional program charge for changing your nutritional approach, and there is no pressure to continue with a particular option simply because that was what you originally planned.
The aim is not to push yourself through the most intensive cleanse possible, but to find an approach that allows you to have a positive, supportive and rewarding experience at Amity.
The ideal length of stay at Amity Wellness depends on your goals, the nutritional approach you would like to follow, your previous cleansing or fasting experience and the amount of time you have available.
Our wellness programs start from a minimum of four days, making a shorter stay possible for guests who would like an introduction to the Amity experience or simply have limited time available.
For guests looking for a more immersive detox and wellness experience, a longer stay provides more time to settle into the retreat, establish a daily routine and experience the different elements of the program without feeling rushed. It also gives you greater flexibility to combine nutritional approaches, such as beginning with the Raw Cleanse, progressing into Intermittent Fasting, a Juice Cleanse or Full Fast, and returning to nourishing raw vegan food before you leave.
Amity Wellness programs can be followed for up to 21 program days, and the maximum Full Fast is 10 days. Guests staying for longer than 10 days can combine their fasting period with our other nutritional approaches before and after the fast
There is no single ideal length that is right for everyone. Whether you join us for a shorter reset or a more extended stay, your time at Amity can be structured around your individual goals, preferences and suitability.
The minimum wellness program at Amity Wellness is four days.
A four-day program gives guests an opportunity to experience the core elements of the Amity detox and wellness program, including their chosen nutritional approach, cleansing protocols, daily restorative massage, self-administered gravity-fed colon cleansing, FIR Inflammation Pod sessions with oxygen, herbal sauna, wellness activities and support from our team.
Shorter programs can be a good introduction for first-time guests or those with limited time in Phuket. However, guests looking for a more immersive experience may prefer a longer stay, allowing more time to settle into the retreat, experience the program at a comfortable pace and combine different nutritional approaches.
Your accommodation is booked around your program dates, and our team can help you understand the number of nights required when planning your stay.
The maximum length of an Amity Wellness program is 21 program days.
Guests choosing a longer stay can combine different nutritional approaches throughout their program, including the Raw Cleanse, Intermittent Fasting Program, Juice Cleanse and, where suitable, a period of Full Fast.
While the overall wellness program can continue for up to 21 days, the maximum length of a Full Fast at Amity Wellness is 10 days. Guests staying for longer can transition into or out of their fasting period using one of our more nourishing nutritional approaches.
Longer stays provide more time to settle into the retreat, experience the different elements of the program and create a gradual progression through different stages of cleansing and nutrition.
If you are considering an extended stay, our team can help you understand how your program days and accommodation nights work when making your reservation.
Amity Wellness packages combine your private accommodation with a comprehensive detox and wellness program, bringing together nutrition or fasting, cleansing protocols, complementary therapies, wellness activities, education, relaxation and ongoing support throughout your stay.
Your accommodation is always booked for one night longer than your wellness program. This allows you to arrive and settle into the retreat during the afternoon or evening before your wellness program begins the following morning. For example, a 7-day wellness program includes 8 nights of accommodation.
All of our guest rooms and core wellness program options are the same price, so there is no premium for choosing a particular room or nutritional approach. Room selection is subject to availability, and our most popular rooms can book well in advance, particularly during busier periods.
Your Amity Wellness package includes:
Private accommodation at Amity Wellness
Your chosen nutritional approach: Raw Cleanse, Intermittent Fasting, Juice Cleanse or Full Fast
Amity’s cleansing shakes and specially formulated botanical supplements
Fresh juices, young coconut water, detox tonic, mineral support, evening mineral broth and other nutritional support appropriate to your chosen program
Self-administered gravity-fed colon cleansing
Daily FIR Inflammation Pod session with oxygen
One restorative massage every program day
Access to our herbal sauna, open daily from 5:30 pm to 8:00 pm
Ice bath sessions three evenings per week
Two scheduled wellness activities each day, which may include movement and fitness sessions, yoga, meditation, breathwork, educational wellness talks, demonstrations and other activities
Initial registration meeting and detailed program orientation
Ongoing guidance and support from our wellness consultants and program coordinators throughout your stay
Access to Amity’s retreat facilities, including our two swimming pools and wellness spaces
Our different nutritional approaches are all part of the same wider Amity Wellness experience. Choosing the Raw Cleanse rather than the Full Fast does not mean receiving a reduced program, and you can move between nutritional approaches during your stay without an additional charge.
Individual supplements, therapies and cleansing protocols may be adapted or excluded where a potential contraindication has been identified during your health pre-screening.
The result is a structured wellness experience where your accommodation, nutrition or fasting program, daily treatments, cleansing protocols and wellness activities are brought together in one package, allowing you to focus on your wellbeing without having to plan each element separately.
Amity Wellness programs follow a structured framework, but there is flexibility to adapt your experience according to your goals, preferences, health pre-screening and how you progress during your stay.
All guests have access to the same core wellness program, but your nutritional approach can be different. You may choose the Raw Cleanse, Intermittent Fasting Program, Juice Cleanse or Full Fast, or combine different approaches during your stay. You can also adjust your nutritional approach as your cleanse progresses, subject to individual suitability.
Your health pre-screening is reviewed before your booking is confirmed so that we can identify any potential contraindications. Where necessary, particular supplements, fasting options or cleansing protocols may be modified or excluded to help ensure that your program is appropriate for you.
Once you arrive at Amity, you will have a registration meeting with one of our wellness consultants to discuss your goals, preferences, previous cleansing or fasting experience and how you are feeling. Our wellness consultants and program coordinators are then available throughout your stay to provide guidance and support as your program progresses.
The daily schedule also gives you freedom to shape your own retreat experience. Wellness activities are optional, so you can choose whether to join yoga, movement sessions, educational talks and demonstrations or use that time to rest, read, relax by the pool or enjoy some time to yourself.
Rather than creating an entirely different program for every guest, Amity combines a proven and structured wellness program with enough flexibility for each person to experience it in a way that feels appropriate for them.
Yes. You do not need to fast to stay at Amity Wellness, and there is no expectation that first-time guests should undertake our more intensive cleansing options.
Our Raw Cleanse is the gentlest nutritional approach and allows you to enjoy fresh, nutrient-rich raw vegan meals while participating in the wider Amity Wellness program. This can be a good starting point for guests experiencing a detox or wellness retreat for the first time, as well as those who simply prefer to continue eating regular meals throughout their stay.
The Intermittent Fasting Program provides another option for guests who would like to experience periods of fasting while continuing to eat each day. The eating window can be adapted to individual needs rather than following one fixed fasting schedule.
If you feel comfortable progressing further, you may choose to move into a Juice Cleanse or Full Fast later in your stay, subject to suitability. Equally, there is no requirement to progress to a more intensive approach at all.
Whichever nutritional approach you choose, you can still participate in the wider wellness program, including restorative massage, colon cleansing, FIR Inflammation Pod sessions with oxygen, herbal sauna, ice bath sessions and twice-daily wellness activities.
Our aim is not to encourage every guest towards the most intensive cleanse, but to help you find an approach that is appropriate for you and allows you to make the most of your time at Amity Wellness.
No. Although your Amity Wellness package includes a structured schedule of treatments, cleansing protocols and twice-daily wellness activities, participation is optional.
We encourage you to make the most of the program, but your stay should also provide time to rest and focus on yourself. You may choose to join yoga, movement sessions, meditation, breathwork, educational talks or wellness demonstrations, or you may prefer to spend some of that time relaxing by the pool, reading, visiting the beach or simply resting.
The same applies to the treatments and cleansing elements included within your package. If you decide not to use a particular inclusion, that is your choice. However, we recommend speaking with one of our wellness consultants or program coordinators before making significant changes to your program so that we can offer appropriate guidance.
Some elements may also be modified or excluded where a potential contraindication has been identified through your health pre-screening.
As your wellness package is sold as a complete experience, unused treatments, activities or other program inclusions cannot be exchanged, transferred or refunded.
Health, Safety & Pre-Screening
Yes. Every guest is required to complete Amity Wellness’s online health pre-screening questionnaire before their booking can be confirmed.
Your health pre-screening is normally assessed within 24 hours of submission. Once reviewed, you will receive an email from our team with one of the following:
• Approval to proceed with your booking
• Details of any contraindications identified during the screening that might prevent certain program inclusions or attendance
• A request for additional information if we need to clarify anything before approving your participation
The online questionnaire provides us with important information about your current health, medical history, medications and any factors that may affect your suitability for particular nutritional approaches, supplements or cleansing protocols.
Our pre-screening process is not a medical assessment or diagnosis. Amity Wellness is a general wellness retreat and is not a hospital, medical clinic or medically supervised detox facility. The purpose of the questionnaire is to identify potential contraindications and determine whether any elements of the wellness program should be adapted or excluded.
If we believe that your health or medical needs require a level of medical supervision that we cannot provide, we may advise that Amity Wellness is not an appropriate retreat for you.
For this reason, we ask guests to provide complete and accurate information during the pre-screening process.
Once your pre-screening has been approved and there are no outstanding requirements, your wellness package and booking can be confirmed using a flight confirmation in lieu of a monetary deposit.
Having a medical condition does not automatically prevent you from attending Amity Wellness, but your suitability will depend on the condition, its current stability, any medications you are taking and the type of wellness program or cleansing protocols you wish to follow.
Every guest completes our health pre-screening as the first stage of the booking process and before their wellness package and/or booking can be confirmed. This allows us to identify potential contraindications and determine whether elements of the detox program may need to be adapted or excluded.
For example, a health condition or medication may mean that fasting is not appropriate for you, while a Raw Cleanse may still be suitable. In other circumstances, a particular supplement, colon cleansing or another wellness protocol may need to be omitted.
Where additional information is required, we will contact you after reviewing your pre-screening. For some conditions or protocols, we may recommend you seek clearance from your doctor or relevant medical specialist before confirming your participation.
Amity Wellness is not a medical retreat, hospital or clinic, and we cannot provide medical supervision or manage complex medical conditions during your stay. Guests should therefore continue to follow the advice of their own healthcare professionals and should not stop or alter prescribed medication to participate in a cleanse or fast.
If your medical needs require a level of monitoring or supervision that we cannot provide, we may advise that Amity Wellness is not an appropriate retreat for you.
Many guests attending Amity Wellness take prescription medications, and taking medication does not automatically prevent you from participating in a wellness program.
All current medications should be declared on your health pre-screening, along with the reason for taking it.
Some medications need to be taken with food, which may mean that fasting is not an appropriate nutritional approach. In these circumstances, a Raw Cleanse or intermittent fast that allows you to take your medication as prescribed may be more suitable.
Amity Wellness does not provide a clinical medication or drug-interaction assessment. If you are unsure whether any of our supplements or botanical ingredients are suitable alongside your medication, you should discuss this with your doctor, pharmacist or prescribing healthcare professional before your stay.
Where appropriate, certain botanical supplements may be omitted from your program. We may also recommend leaving a minimum four-hour interval between your medication and particular cleansing supplements to reduce the potential for the supplement to interfere with medication absorption.
You should bring an adequate supply of your prescribed medication for your entire stay and continue taking it exactly as directed by your doctor or prescribing healthcare professional.
Amity Wellness will never ask you to stop or reduce prescribed medication in order to participate in a cleanse or fast. Any changes to your medication should only be made in consultation with the healthcare professional responsible for your care.
No. Amity Wellness cleansing and fasting programs are not suitable during pregnancy, and we are therefore unable to accept guests who are pregnant.
If you are breastfeeding following pregnancy, please declare this on your health pre-screening so that we can assess your suitability before confirming your booking.
Suitability depends on the type of Diabetes, how it is managed and any medication you are taking.
Guests with Type 1 insulin-dependent diabetes are not suitable for Amity Wellness cleansing or fasting programs as medical oversight is required. Guests with Type 2 diabetes who are not insulin-dependent may still be able to attend, but fasting, juice cleansing and some botanicals may be contraindicated. A modified Raw Cleanse would be a more appropriate option.
Please provide full details of your diabetes, current medication and management on your health pre-screening. We may request additional information or clearance from your doctor or diabetes specialist before your booking can be approved.
Amity Wellness is not a medically supervised retreat and cannot provide medical advise or management of diabetes during your stay.
Yes, potentially. We have welcomed many guests who use GLP-1 medications such as Wegovy, Ozempic or Mounjaro, although the most appropriate nutritional approach may differ from guest to guest.
If you are using a GLP-1 or similar weight-loss medication, please declare this on your health pre-screening for Amity Wellness.
These medications can affect appetite, digestion and blood sugar regulation, so fasting or more intensive cleansing approaches may not always be appropriate for everyone. Depending on your individual circumstances, a Raw Cleanse or modified intermittent fasting approach may be a better choice.
We recommend discussing your medication with your prescribing healthcare professional before attending if you have any specific questions about compatibility. You should not stop, delay or alter prescribed weight-loss medication solely to participate in a cleanse or fast without first discussing this with your prescriber.
Possibly. Digestive wellbeing is an important focus of the Amity Wellness cleansing program, and many guests choose to cleanse because they want to support their digestion, improve their relationship with food and establish healthier dietary habits.
Guests commonly tell us that they notice positive changes in areas such as bloating, digestive comfort and bowel regularity following their stay. However, if you have a diagnosed digestive or bowel condition, we need to consider whether all elements of the program are appropriate for you.
Self-administered colon cleansing without medical oversight may be contraindicated for people with certain gastrointestinal conditions, including active inflammatory bowel disease such as Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, diverticulitis, known or suspected bowel obstruction, bowel perforation, active gastrointestinal or rectal bleeding, or certain conditions or previous surgeries affecting the structure or integrity of the bowel.
Fasting or a raw-food diet may also not be appropriate for everyone with a digestive condition. Raw foods in particular can be more difficult to tolerate with some gastrointestinal disorders, so your nutritional approach may need to be adapted.
Having a digestive condition does not automatically prevent you from attending Amity Wellness. A previous or well-controlled condition may present very differently from an active condition, and you may still be able to participate in the wider wellness program even where a particular protocol is contraindicated.
Please provide full details of any diagnosed digestive or bowel conditions on your health pre-screening. Where necessary, we may request additional information or clearance from your doctor or relevant specialist before confirming your booking.
Guests over 70 are very welcome at Amity Wellness. However, as an additional safety precaution, we take a more cautious approach to self-administered colon cleansing for first-time guests in a higher risk age demographic (aged 70 and over).
This is not because we consider someone “too old”. Many of our guests in their 70s are extremely active, healthy and experienced in wellness practices. However, normal biological changes associated with ageing can make the bowel and surrounding tissues more vulnerable, while the potential risks associated with dehydration, electrolyte changes and gastrointestinal procedures also increase with age.
Because colon cleansing at Amity is self-administered and takes place without medical oversight, we believe it is responsible to take a more conservative approach for first-time guests in this higher-risk age demographic.
For first-time guests aged 70 and over, we therefore replace the colon cleansing inclusion with our FIR Inflammation Pod with oxygen therapy, allowing you to continue enjoying the wider Amity Wellness program.
Returning guests aged 70 and over who already have significant previous experience with colon cleansing at Amity may still choose to participate, subject to their current health pre-screening and there being no new contraindications.
Our policy is simply an additional precaution designed with guest wellbeing in mind. It is not a judgement of an individual guest’s health, fitness or ability to participate in and enjoy the Amity Wellness experience.
Yes. Guests with thyroid conditions are very welcome at Amity Wellness, and we have modified thyroid-friendly Raw Cleanse and Intermittent Fasting options available.
Our thyroid-friendly menus are still varied, fresh and delicious, while being adapted to limit higher-goitrogen foods and provide regular nutritional intake. Because more intensive fasting and significant dietary restriction can influence thyroid hormone metabolism, we take a more conservative approach for guests with diagnosed thyroid conditions.
For this reason, we offer our Raw Cleanse or Intermittent Fasting Program rather than the Juice Cleanse or Full Fast.
If you take thyroid medication, you should continue taking it exactly as prescribed and declare your condition and medication on your health pre-screening. The timing of certain cleansing supplements can also be adjusted around your medication where appropriate.
Yes, in most cases. Well-controlled high blood pressure and stable heart conditions that are appropriately managed with prescribed medication are common and are not automatically contraindicated for an Amity Wellness program.
Please declare your condition and any medication on your health pre-screening application and continue taking prescribed medication exactly as directed by your healthcare professional.
If you have a more significant cardiovascular condition, recent changes in your health, or any concerns about whether cleansing is appropriate for you, we suggest checking with your cardiologist or healthcare professional before travelling to ensure they have no objections to your participation.
If previously undiagnosed, or untreated high blood pressure is identified after arrival, we may recommend a consultation with a local medical clinic before commencing your wellness program.
Phuket has excellent private healthcare facilities, including an international hospital offering comprehensive health screening packages. Some Amity guests choose to participate in a health screening package during their time in Phuket, particularly if they would like a broader overview of their health alongside their wellness stay.
Amity Wellness is not a medical facility, so guests with unstable or severe cardiovascular conditions requiring medical oversight may need medical clearance or a medically supervised environment/retreat.
A contraindication to one part of the Amity Wellness program does not necessarily mean that you cannot attend.
Where appropriate, we can adapt your nutritional approach or omit a particular supplement or wellness protocol. For example, you may be better suited to a nourishing Raw Cleanse rather than a Full Fast, or certain botanical supplements may be excluded where they are not appropriate for you.
All wellness program inclusions are optional, and you are always free to choose not to participate in a particular treatment, activity or cleansing protocol during your stay.
As our packages are provided as a complete wellness program, unused inclusions cannot be exchanged for other treatments or services and are not refundable.
The exception is where colon cleansing has been identified as contraindicated through our health pre-screening. In this situation, we offer our FIR Inflammation Pod with oxygen therapy as an alternative inclusion.
Our health pre-screening helps us identify any known contraindications before your booking is confirmed, so that you can understand any necessary program adaptations before you arrive and make an informed decision about whether to proceed with a booking.
Everyone experiences a cleanse differently, but most guests find the transition very manageable. Following our recommended pre-cleanse before arrival can make a significant difference, and with Amity’s comprehensive, layered approach combining carefully selected nutritional and botanical support with cleansing therapies, rest and hydration, many guests report only mild or short-lived adjustment symptoms, if any at all.
Some guests feel lighter, clearer and more energised within the first few days. Others may experience a more challenging day or two, with temporary tiredness, headaches, cravings, digestive changes, changes in sleep or fluctuations in mood and energy as they adjust to a different way of eating and a break from caffeine, sugar, alcohol and their usual routines.
A cleanse can also provide something we rarely give ourselves in everyday life: permission to slow down. With fewer distractions and more time for rest and reflection, some guests find that emotions or stresses they have been carrying become more noticeable. We see this as an opportunity to listen to yourself rather than something that needs to be suppressed or pushed through.
Our experienced wellness team is here to support you throughout the process. Depending on how you are feeling, this might mean encouraging additional rest and hydration, reviewing your electrolyte and nutritional support, or introducing more nourishment and adjusting your nutritional approach. There is never any pressure to continue a Full Fast or Juice Cleanse simply because that was your original plan.
Importantly, not everything that happens while you are cleansing is caused by the cleanse. If guests become genuinely unwell during their stay just as they can at any other time. We do not automatically label symptoms as a “detox reaction”. If something is unusual, persistent, worsening or suggests that medical assessment may be appropriate, we will recommend seeking medical advice rather than simply encouraging you to push through.
There is no single “correct” way to experience a cleanse. You may feel fantastic almost immediately, or you may have a few ups and downs along the way. Our role is to provide a supportive environment, experienced guidance and the flexibility to respond to how you are actually feeling.
You can also read more about the physical and emotional side of the cleansing experience in our Feeling to Heal: Making Peace with the Detox Journey article.
Preparing for Your Cleanse
A smoother cleanse can begin before you arrive at Amity. We encourage guests to follow a gentle pre-cleanse phase, gradually transitioning away from everyday dietary habits so that the change does not happen all at once when your wellness program begins.
If you regularly consume caffeine, sugar or alcohol, we particularly recommend reducing these gradually rather than stopping suddenly on your first day. Sudden withdrawal can contribute to temporary headaches, fatigue, nausea, irritability, mood changes or restlessness during the first few days of a cleanse.
In the days leading up to your stay, gradually simplify your diet, reduce highly processed and heavier foods, increase your water intake and introduce more fresh, whole foods, fruits and vegetables. There is no need to fast before you arrive; the aim is to arrive well hydrated and nourished, with your body already beginning to adjust to the change in routine.
You can follow our Pre-Cleansing Guidelines for more detailed advice on preparing for your stay.
And if life gets in the way and you do not manage to pre-cleanse before travelling, please do not worry. You do not need to arrive at Amity perfectly prepared. We can gently ease you into your wellness program with our nourishing Raw Cleanse, allowing you time to adjust before deciding whether you would like to progress to Intermittent Fasting, Juice Cleanse or Full Fast.
Even a few simple changes before arrival can make the transition more comfortable, but wherever you are starting from, our team will meet you there and support you through the process.
One of the lovely surprises many guests discover is just how little they actually need.
After a day or two, most people find themselves living in their Amity Wellness t-shirt, comfortable Thai yoga pants, sarong and flip-flops, moving easily between treatments, wellness activities, the pool and time to relax.
When you arrive, you will already have a nutritious welcome salad waiting in your refrigerator, premium filtered drinking water available throughout the retreat, a reusable water bottle, detox shaker for your cleansing drinks, Amity shoulder bag, Thai yoga pants and your Amity Wellness t-shirt.
For the rest, we recommend packing:
• A good book or journal to enjoy by the pool or at the beach
• Comfortable trainers for the weekly viewpoint walk, fitness sessions and self-guided morning or evening walks
• Lightweight, comfortable clothing for yoga and group wellness activities
• Swimwear for the pools, beach and ice bath
• Flip-flops or sandals
• Lightweight long trousers or an extra layer for the evenings
• A hat and sunglasses for outdoor activities
• Any prescription medication you require for your stay
• Your own toiletries, skincare, cosmetics and sunscreen (organic if possible)
Please note that personal toiletries are not provided in the guest rooms. As part of the wider cleansing experience, we encourage guests to keep skincare, cosmetics and toiletries as simple and natural as possible, choosing natural, organic or homemade products where practical.
If you need to purchase these during your stay, a selection of organic toiletries and personal-care products is available to purchase from our shop cupboard in the Amity Wellness office.
Everything specifically required for your wellness program, cleansing protocols and included treatments is provided by the retreat, so there is no need to arrive with specialist detox products or wellness equipment.
Your arrival day is a non-program day, giving you time to settle in, recover from your journey and become familiar with Amity before your wellness program officially begins the following morning.
Guest rooms are available for check-in from 2:00 pm. If you arrive earlier, you are very welcome to leave your luggage with us and enjoy the communal retreat facilities while you wait for your room to be prepared.
Although your wellness program has not yet started, you are welcome to join the afternoon group wellness activity, use the herbal sauna between 5:30 pm and 8:00 pm, and join the scheduled beach shuttle on your arrival day.
When you reach your room, you will find a fresh, nutritious welcome salad waiting in your refrigerator, along with a refillable water bottle. Premium filtered drinking-water dispensers are conveniently located around the retreat so you can refill your bottle throughout your stay.
As your wellness program does not officially begin until the following morning, you are also free to head out and enjoy dinner in Phuket on your arrival evening. Alternatively, if you would prefer to begin easing into the Amity way of eating, you can join us for our raw vegan evening meal, which can be added for an additional charge. Simply let the office team know if you would like to be included (please order before 3pm).
If you arrive after the main office closes at 7:00 pm, our night security team member will welcome and check you in and remains based in the main office throughout the night should you need any assistance.
Your wellness program officially begins the following morning with the scheduled morning wellness activity, followed by our group morning meeting, where you will have the opportunity to meet the team and your fellow cleansers.
You will then have your individual program registration meeting, where your nutritional approach and wellness program structure are discussed and finalised (all wellness programs are the same price so the quotation wont change). Afterwards, you will complete your wellness program induction and orientation, where we explain your cleansing protocols and daily routine and provide your cleanse kit and everything you need to get started.
There is no need to arrive already fasting. If you have not managed to pre-cleanse before travelling, please don't worry; we can begin with our nourishing Raw Cleanse to provide a gentler transition into your wellness program.
We recommend gradually reducing caffeine and alcohol before you arrive at Amity Wellness, particularly if they are a regular part of your routine.
If you drink coffee, tea or other caffeinated drinks every day, stopping suddenly when your cleanse begins can cause withdrawal symptoms such as headaches, tiredness, irritability and difficulty concentrating. Gradually reducing your intake in the days leading up to your stay can make the transition considerably more comfortable.
The same gradual approach can be helpful with sugar and highly processed foods, allowing your body and appetite to adjust before your wellness program begins.
We also recommend avoiding or significantly reducing alcohol in the lead-up to your cleanse and arriving well hydrated. Once your wellness program begins, alcohol and caffeinated drinks are not consumed at the retreat.
Don't worry if you are travelling beforehand or simply haven't managed to follow the pre-cleanse as closely as you intended. You can begin with our nourishing Raw Cleanse, giving yourself a gentler transition before moving to Intermittent Fasting, Juice Cleanse or Full Fast if appropriate.
The aim of pre-cleansing isn't perfection. Even a few gradual changes before you arrive can help make your first few days at Amity more comfortable.
Not at all. Some guests arrive at Amity Wellness with a very specific intention, while others simply know that they need some time to step away from everyday life and focus on themselves.
Your goals might be practical, such as improving your eating habits, taking a break from alcohol, caffeine or processed foods, experiencing fasting for the first time or establishing a healthier routine. For others, the intention is simply to rest, reflect, reconnect with themselves and create some space away from everyday responsibilities and distractions.
You also don't need to decide in advance how intensively you want to cleanse. During your registration meeting, we will discuss how you are feeling, your previous experience and what you hope to gain from your stay before finalising your nutritional approach.
And your goals can change once you are here. You may arrive determined to complete a Full Fast and discover that a gentler approach feels better or begin with the Raw Cleanse and later feel ready to progress further.
There is no competition and no expectation to achieve a particular number of fasting days. Your time at Amity is your own, and we encourage you to listen to your body, use the space to focus on what you need and allow your wellness program to evolve as your stay unfolds.
What to Expect During Your Stay
Each day at Amity Wellness follows a gentle rhythm, combining your cleansing program, treatments and group wellness activities with scheduled free time to rest, relax and enjoy Phuket.
For early risers, we recommend beginning the day with a self-guided walk to Friendship Beach, approximately 900 metres from the retreat. Located on Phuket's east coast, it isn't a beach suitable for swimming, but it is a lovely place to watch the sunrise before returning to Amity for the morning activity.
Our morning Wellness Activity begins at 7:15 am. Across a typical week, the morning schedule usually includes five yoga classes, one fitness class and one guided walk to the Windmill Viewpoint at Promthep Cape, overlooking the beautiful coastline around Nai Harn and Ya Nui.
This is followed by our group morning meeting, giving everyone a chance to come together and enjoy a herbal tea and superfood shot before continuing with their individual wellness program schedule.
Throughout the day, every cleansing program includes, unless contraindicated:
• Daily self-administered colon cleansing
• Daily Inflammation Pod session using FIR infrared technology with Oxygen Therapy
• Daily Restorative Massage
• Two group Wellness Activities each day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon
• All raw vegan foods unless fasting, together with the juices, smoothies, detox tonic, cleansing shakes and botanicals appropriate to your program
• Full use of our two swimming pools
• Daily herbal sauna, available from 5:30 pm to 8:00 pm
• Ice bath three evenings per week
• Complimentary daily beach shuttle
• Ongoing support from our cleansing specialists
Your exact wellness program schedule will vary depending on whether you are following the Raw Cleanse, Intermittent Fasting, Juice Cleanse, Full Fast or a combination of approaches.
We deliberately include scheduled free time within the day, giving you space to enjoy the pools, read, journal, take a nap or simply slow down. During the afternoon free-time period, you can also join our complimentary beach shuttle, which alternates between two of southern Phuket's favourite beaches.
Nai Harn Beach is regularly recognised as one of Phuket's best beaches and is ideal for swimming, walking, sunbathing or simply relaxing by the sea. Ya Nui Beach is a smaller bay particularly popular for snorkelling and kayaking.
Later in the day, there is a second group Wellness Activity, followed by time to enjoy the herbal sauna from 5:30 pm to 8:00 pm, with the ice bath available three evenings each week.
Although there is a comprehensive wellness program available each day, your stay should never feel like a timetable you have to race through. All activities and program inclusions are optional, and there is always space to slow down, listen to your body and make the experience your own.
Plenty. Although Amity Wellness provides a comprehensive daily program, we deliberately build free time into the schedule so that your stay never feels rushed or over-programmed.
Between your massage, cleansing protocols and morning and afternoon Wellness Activities, there are scheduled periods where you can simply do what feels right for you. You might relax beside one of our two swimming pools, read, journal, take a nap, enjoy some quiet time or join the complimentary afternoon beach shuttle.
The beach shuttle alternates between Nai Harn Beach, one of Phuket's most popular beaches for swimming, walking, sunbathing and relaxing, and Ya Nui Beach, a smaller bay where you can swim, snorkel or hire a kayak.
If you have work commitments during your stay, would like additional free time for sightseeing or have other plans in Phuket, simply let our Program Coordinators know. Wherever possible, they will work with you to create an accommodating wellness program schedule, arranging your individual program elements around your other commitments.
You are also welcome to skip a group Wellness Activity if you feel that your body needs rest or you simply want some extra time to yourself. Everything included in your program is there to support your stay rather than create another list of things you have to accomplish.
For many guests, having permission to slow down and enjoy some genuinely unstructured time becomes one of the most valuable parts of their Amity experience.
Every Amity Wellness program includes two scheduled group Wellness Activities each day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, giving you the opportunity to incorporate movement, relaxation, education and new experiences into your cleanse.
Our morning program is generally more movement-focused. Across a typical week, this usually includes five morning yoga classes, one fitness class and one guided walk to the Windmill Viewpoint at Promthep Cape.
Afternoon activities vary throughout the week and may include meditation, breathwork, sound healing, functional movement, Thai boxing, dance fitness, educational wellness talks, raw food demonstrations and other practical wellness sessions.
The schedule is intentionally varied, so your stay isn't centred solely around cleansing protocols. Some sessions get you moving, some help you slow down, and others give you practical ideas and knowledge that you can take home and incorporate into everyday life.
You don't need to be experienced in yoga, fitness or meditation to participate. Activities are designed to be welcoming to different levels of experience, and you can always work within your own comfort and ability.
Participation is completely optional. You might want to join everything, choose the activities that interest you most, or occasionally skip a session to rest, visit the beach or enjoy some time by the pool.
The exact Wellness Activity schedule varies, so individual classes and activities cannot be guaranteed on particular days, but there will always be a mixture of opportunities to move, learn, relax and reconnect throughout your stay.
Every Amity Wellness program includes one restorative massage for each program day, giving you dedicated time each day to relax and unwind as part of your cleansing experience.
You can choose from:
• Traditional Thai Massage
• Oil Massage
• Head & Shoulder Massage
• Foot Massage
You don't have to choose the same massage every day, so you can vary your massage throughout your stay depending on how you are feeling and what you would most enjoy.
If you have an injury, sensitivity, recent surgery or an area you would prefer your therapist to avoid, please let the team know so your massage can be adapted where appropriate.
Your one hour daily massage is included within your wellness package. Our Venus Spa also offers additional massage and spa treatments that can be booked separately at an additional cost if you would like to explore more of our treatment menu during your stay.
As with all program inclusions, your daily massage is optional. If you choose not to use an included massage, it cannot be exchanged for another service, transferred or refunded.
Colon cleansing is available daily as part of the Amity Wellness cleansing program, unless it has been identified as unsuitable for you during your health pre-screening. Some guests choose to colon cleanse each day, others prefer to do it less frequently during their stay, and some choose not to participate at all. That is completely fine — it is your cleanse, and there is no pressure to use the colon cleansing every day simply because it is included.
At Amity, colon cleansing is private and self-administered using a gentle gravity-fed system with premium filtered water. The process takes place in our dedicated colon cleansing rooms, allowing you privacy and time to complete your cleanse at your own pace.
It is important to distinguish this from practitioner-administered colon hydrotherapy. Amity does not provide colon hydrotherapy performed by a colon hydrotherapist or medical practitioner. Our system is a gentle gravity-fed, self-administered form of colon cleansing (colonic irrigation), with our team providing guidance rather than administering the procedure for you.
If you have never experienced colon cleansing before, there is no need to feel embarrassed or nervous. On the first day of your wellness program, you will receive a full colon cleansing induction as part of your program orientation. Our cleansing team will explain how the system works, take you through the process step by step and make sure you understand the basics before using it independently.
You will also receive your own personal tubing and colema tip set for use throughout your program.
Once you have had time to settle in and become familiar with the basic process (often around day 3 or 4), you will have a colon cleansing follow-up with one of our Wellness Consultants. This gives you an opportunity to troubleshoot anything you have found difficult and learn some additional techniques that may help you become more comfortable and confident with the process. Your consultant will also explain in more detail what you may observe during a colon cleanse and answer any questions that naturally arise once you have experienced it for yourself.
Behind the scenes, we have a dedicated colon cleansing team responsible for the care, cleaning and preparation of our cleanse rooms and equipment, with a strong focus on maintaining high standards of hygiene throughout the facilities.
Although the process itself remains private and self-administered, our cleansing team and Wellness Consultants are available throughout your stay if you have questions or need further guidance.
Colon cleansing is not appropriate for everyone. Certain digestive conditions, previous surgeries or other health considerations may make it unsuitable, which is one of the reasons every guest completes our health pre-screening before their booking is confirmed.
Where colon cleansing is identified as contraindicated, an Inflammation Pod session using FIR infrared technology with Oxygen Therapy is offered as the alternative program inclusion.
For many first-time guests, colon cleansing is one of the parts of the program they feel most uncertain about before arriving. Having clear instruction, a follow-up consultation, personal equipment, dedicated facilities and an experienced team available for support can make the experience feel much more straightforward once you are here.
One of the more distinctive features of the Amity Wellness program is our Inflammation Pod with Oxygen Therapy, included every program day (unless contraindicated).
Our pods use far-infrared (FIR) technology, delivering infrared energy while you lie comfortably inside with your head remaining outside. Unlike a traditional sauna, which primarily heats the air around you, FIR uses radiant energy to create a deep warming effect that extends beneath the surface of the skin
Each session operates at a preset temperature and is combined with supplemental Oxygen Therapy, delivered through a comfortable nasal cannula.
Far-infrared technology has been studied for a growing range of physiological and wellness effects. Research has explored its potential to support circulation and blood flow, encourage healthy vascular function, support muscle recovery, reduce post-exercise soreness and encourage relaxation. Infrared therapies have also been studied for pain relief and improved physical comfort, with research reporting reductions in pain in a number of musculoskeletal and chronic pain conditions. FIR is also being investigated for its influence on inflammatory and oxidative-stress pathways, although research in these areas continues to develop.
The deep warming effect of FIR creates a natural thermoregulatory response, increasing circulation, heart rate and energy expenditure as your body works to regulate its temperature — meaning you can even burn additional calories while you simply lie back and relax.
Many Amity guests also tell us that regular sessions leave their body and skin feeling wonderful. Over the years, we have had numerous guests even report noticeable improvements in the appearance of cellulite during their stay.
On the first day of your wellness program, you will receive a dedicated Inflammation Pod induction, where our team will show you how to use the pod and Oxygen Therapy safely and comfortably before you begin your daily sessions.
What makes the experience particularly special at Amity is that FIR isn't simply an occasional treatment or optional upgrade. A Inflammation Pod session with Oxygen Therapy is included every day of your wellness program, alongside your daily restorative massage and other detox protocols and wellness inclusions.
Many guests tell us that it quickly becomes one of their favourite parts of the day.
The Inflammation Pod forms part of Amity's wider cleansing and wellness approach rather than being a medical treatment, and it is not intended to diagnose, treat or cure a medical condition. As with all program inclusions, participation is optional.
Yes. Guests have complimentary access to our traditional herbal sauna every evening from 5:30 pm to 8:00 pm, with our ice bath available three evenings each week.
Our herbal sauna offers a traditional whole-body heat experience and is a lovely way to slow down towards the end of the day, enjoy the warmth and herbal aroma, and relax after your treatments and Wellness Activities.
For those curious about cold-water immersion, we encourage a gradual approach rather than jumping straight into the ice bath.
If cold exposure is new to you, we recommend beginning with short intervals of cold water during your showers, gradually increasing the duration as you become more comfortable. When you feel ready, you can progress to the ice bath, beginning with a short immersion and building up gradually.
There is no competition and no target time you need to achieve. Becoming comfortable with your breathing, remaining calm and paying attention to how your body responds is far more important than how long you stay in the water.
Cold-water immersion is widely used and has been studied for its effects on recovery and the body's physiological response to cold, while many guests simply enjoy the invigorating feeling and sense of accomplishment that comes from gradually becoming more comfortable with cold exposure.
Both the herbal sauna and ice bath are completely optional. You may love using them regularly, prefer one over the other or decide that they simply aren't for you.
If you have been advised by your doctor or medical practitioner to avoid sauna, heat therapy or cold-water immersion, please follow their advice. As with all Amity Wellness activities, participation is completely optional.
The aim isn't to push yourself to an extreme. Start gently, listen to your body and progress only when you feel comfortable.
You are not expected to navigate your detox alone. One of the benefits of staying at an intimate retreat like Amity Wellness is having an experienced wellness team and a supportive community around you throughout your stay.
Your stay begins with an individual program registration meeting, where we discuss your goals, previous detox or fasting experience, preferred detox approach and any relevant information identified through your pre-screening. This helps us establish a program schedule that feels appropriate for you.
Throughout your stay, our Wellness Consultants and Program Coordinators are available to check in with you, answer questions and help you get the most from your experience. If you are finding a particular detox approach too intensive, for example, you can discuss moving from a Full Fast or Juice Cleanse to Intermittent Fasting or Raw Cleanse rather than feeling that you have to continue simply because it was your original plan.
There is also a wonderful sense of shared experience at Amity. Everyone staying at the retreat is enrolled in a wellness program, so you won't be surrounded by regular holidaymakers while you are trying to focus on your wellbeing. Detox programs can begin on any day of the week, which means you will meet other cleansers at different stages of their journey — some may be on their first day while others are approaching the end of their stay.
Although everyone's reasons for coming to Amity are different, guests share a common intention to dedicate some time to themselves and improve some aspect of their wellbeing. Morning meetings, Wellness Activities and time around the retreat naturally provide opportunities to meet other cleansers, share experiences and encourage one another. Many guests form genuine friendships during their stay, while there is equally no pressure to socialise if you would prefer time to yourself.
Support isn't only about getting through the detox. We want your time at Amity to be an opportunity to learn more about your own habits and take practical ideas home with you. During your stay, our team may share wellness education relevant to your individual goals, supported by our wellness activities, recipes, talks and demonstrations.
And the support doesn't have to finish when your stay does. Guests can join our private Body Mind Detox Facebook group, dedicated to the Amity Wellness community. It provides a space to stay connected and access additional wellness resources, educational articles, practical tips and healthy recipes to help support the positive habits you want to continue once you return home.
There is no judgement and no expectation that you need to transform every aspect of your life in one stay. Sometimes the most valuable part of a wellness retreat is simply having enough time and space to notice what is and isn't working for you.
Our role is to provide the structure, education, encouragement, community and supportive environment around your detox, while allowing the experience to remain very much your own.
Amity Wellness takes a much more comprehensive approach to detox than simply changing what you eat or drink. Depending on your chosen detox approach and individual suitability, your daily program can include a carefully structured combination of fibre, botanicals, nutritional support, probiotics and other plant-based ingredients alongside your Raw Cleanse, Intermittent Fasting, Juice Cleanse or Full Fast.
A central part of the program is our fibre cleansing drink, providing a concentrated source of soluble and insoluble fibre to support normal digestion and bowel regularity. This is complemented by digestive cleansing support, traditional botanical blends and nutrient-rich plant-based supplementation as part of the wider detox protocol.
Our approach includes prebiotic fibres and probiotics, while guests following the Raw Cleanse also enjoy naturally fermented foods as part of their meals.
Depending on your detox approach, your daily nutritional support will also include fresh young coconut water, ginger tea, our apple cider vinegar-based detox tonic, fresh juices or smoothies, coconut oil and an evening mineral-rich vegan or bone broth. Guests following the Raw Cleanse or Intermittent Fasting program also enjoy our freshly prepared raw vegan cuisine.
Not every guest follows exactly the same schedule. Certain botanicals, supplements or other elements may be omitted when they are not appropriate for an individual's circumstances, particularly where prescription medication is involved. If your doctor, pharmacist or medical practitioner has advised you to avoid a particular herb, supplement or ingredient, please follow their advice.
On your first program morning, our team will introduce you to your cleanse kit and daily schedule, explain the different elements and help you become familiar with the routine.
Rather than relying on any single shake, cleansing botanical or treatment, the Amity detox program brings these different elements together with nutrition or fasting, hydration, daily restorative massage, colon cleansing where appropriate, FIR Inflammation Pod with Oxygen Therapy, movement, rest and ongoing wellness support as part of one structured detox experience.
What you eat and drink at Amity Wellness depends on the detox approach you choose, with options ranging from our nourishing Raw Cleanse through to Intermittent Fasting, Juice Cleanse and Full Fast.
Our Raw Cleanse incorporates our Nourish to Flourish plan, designed for guests who want to experience the full Amity detox program while enjoying fresh, satisfying raw vegan meals throughout their stay. Each day includes a raw vegan breakfast, lunch and dinner, two freshly prepared juices, a raw vegan dessert, mineral-rich evening broth and two fresh young coconuts.
Everything is freshly prepared by our dedicated raw kitchen team, with an emphasis on whole, plant-based ingredients, creativity and variety. The menu goes far beyond simple salads, with dishes such as smoothie bowls, raw muesli, creative main meals, fermented foods and healthy desserts. Many guests are surprised by just how varied, satisfying and enjoyable raw vegan food can be.
Our Intermittent Fasting Program combines a daily fasting period with nourishing raw vegan meals and can be adapted around the eating pattern that suits you. You may prefer breakfast and lunch followed by an afternoon, evening and overnight fasting window, or lunch and dinner with your fasting window extending overnight and through the morning. This flexibility allows you to experience intermittent fasting without following one rigid schedule.
Guests choosing the Juice Cleanse receive freshly prepared vegetable and fruit juices throughout the day. We favour predominantly low-to-moderate glycaemic blends, rather than relying heavily on sweet fruit juices.
The Full Fast is our most intensive detox approach and removes solid food and juices for a defined period. Guests continue to receive the appropriate cleansing, hydration and nutritional support within the program. A Full Fast can be followed for a maximum of 10 days and is not suitable for everyone.
Alongside your chosen detox approach, your daily program can include additional cleansing, botanical and nutritional support, with premium filtered drinking water available throughout the retreat.
You don't need to decide exactly how you want to detox before arriving. Your approach can be discussed during your program registration and can also be changed or combined during your stay. Some guests begin with the Raw Cleanse, progress into Intermittent Fasting, Juice Cleanse or Full Fast, and then return to nourishing raw food towards the end of their stay.
There is no expectation to choose the most intensive option. Raw Cleanse is just as much a part of the Amity detox experience as fasting, and the flexibility to move between approaches allows you to find the balance of nourishment and fasting that feels right for your stay.
Amity Wellness can accommodate many common food intolerances and dietary requirements, although there are some important limitations because of the nature of our raw vegan kitchen.
Our Raw Cleanse is based around fresh, whole, raw vegan cuisine and is naturally free from meat, fish, dairy and eggs. Our food is also prepared without refined sugar, highly processed foods, hydrogenated oils, MSG or artificial preservatives, keeping the focus on fresh, nutrient-rich plant foods.
If you have an intolerance, sensitivity or ingredient you need to avoid, please provide full details on your pre-screening form before arrival so our wellness and kitchen teams can review your requirements.
Nuts are used regularly in our raw kitchen, including in the preparation of meals, desserts, sauces and other foods. We do not have a separate allergen-free preparation area and cannot guarantee that our food will be free from traces of nuts.
For this reason, unfortunately we cannot accommodate guests with a severe nut allergy where exposure to trace amounts could cause anaphylaxis. This is an important safety precaution because cross-contact with nuts is possible within our kitchen.
It is also important to tell us about allergies and intolerances even if you are considering a Juice Cleanse or Full Fast, as the wider detox program includes juices, broths, cleansing drinks, botanical and nutritional support that may contain ingredients relevant to your requirements.
For other dietary requirements and intolerances, our kitchen team will do their best to make appropriate adaptations while maintaining the structure and quality of the Amity detox program. Please tell us about all known food allergies and dietary requirements during pre-screening rather than waiting until arrival, so we can confirm what we are able to accommodate before your stay.
You may feel hungry at times, particularly during the first few days or when transitioning from your usual diet into Intermittent Fasting, Juice Cleanse or Full Fast — and that is okay too.
Part of the detox experience can be learning to become more comfortable with feelings and sensations that we would normally respond to immediately. In everyday life, it is easy to reach automatically for food, coffee, alcohol, something sweet, our phone or another distraction whenever we feel hungry, tired, bored, restless or uncomfortable. At Amity, you have an opportunity to slow down, notice what you are feeling and give yourself a little space before automatically responding to it.
Sometimes hunger is physical; at other times what feels like hunger may be influenced by habit, routine, cravings or simply being accustomed to eating at a particular time. During your detox, you are also stepping away from refined sugar, highly processed foods, caffeine and many of the familiar foods and routines that can contribute to repeated cravings and fluctuations in appetite.
Many guests find that hunger becomes much less of a focus once they settle into the rhythm of their detox. Our fibre-based cleansing drinks can also help promote a feeling of fullness, which can make periods without food feel more manageable.
Your day also has structure. Cleansing protocols, treatments, Wellness Activities, relaxation, hydration and nutritional support create a very different experience from simply trying not to eat at home.
And fasting is certainly not the only way to detox at Amity. Our Raw Cleanse with Nourish to Flourish provides three raw vegan meals each day, together with two freshly prepared juices, a raw vegan dessert, two fresh young coconuts and an evening mineral broth. Our Intermittent Fasting Program provides a middle ground, combining nourishing raw vegan meals with a daily fasting window.
Guests following the Juice Cleanse or Full Fast receive structured cleansing, hydration, botanical and nutritional support, including our fibre-based cleansing drinks. You are not simply having food removed and being left to manage hunger on your own.
Most importantly, there is a difference between allowing yourself to experience some temporary hunger and believing you have to push through regardless of how you feel. If your detox feels more intensive than expected, speak with your Wellness Consultant or Program Coordinator. You can introduce more nourishment or move to a gentler detox approach at any time.
There is no competition at Amity and no prize for fasting the longest. Sometimes an important part of the experience is simply becoming more aware of your body, your habits, your cravings and your relationship with food — discovering that not every uncomfortable feeling needs to be immediately fixed or suppressed, while also learning when to listen to yourself and choose more nourishment.
Absolutely. Movement is an important part of the Amity Wellness experience, but during a detox we generally encourage a more restorative approach — moving your body in ways that feel good without placing unnecessary demands on it, particularly when fasting.
Each morning begins with a 7:15 am Wellness Activity, providing a wonderful way to start the day before the morning meeting and your detox schedule begins. A typical week includes five morning yoga classes, one fitness session and one guided walk to Windmill Viewpoint at Promthep Cape, overlooking the coastline around Nai Harn and Ya Nui.
These morning activities have been chosen to work particularly well within a detox retreat environment. They provide an opportunity to stretch, mobilise, breathe, build strength and get your body moving, while allowing you to adjust the intensity to your own energy levels and detox approach. You don't need any previous yoga or fitness experience, and there is no expectation to push yourself.
We also love encouraging guests to walk outdoors. Early risers can take a self-guided walk to the nearby Beach, approximately 900 metres from Amity, to watch the sunrise before returning for the morning Wellness Activity. Later in the day, another gentle walk, a stroll along the beach or pier as the day cools can be a lovely way to add more natural movement.
Guests following our Raw Cleanse with Nourish to Flourish or Intermittent Fasting Program may feel comfortable maintaining a more active routine. During a Juice Cleanse or Full Fast, we generally recommend favouring walking, yoga, stretching, swimming and other restorative forms of movement rather than strenuous training.
For guests who would like to continue with more intensive exercise, Rawai also has an excellent fitness community surrounding the retreat. Local gyms and a Pilates reformer studio are approximately 1 km from Amity, with several Muay Thai boxing gyms less than 1 km away. These independent facilities give you the option to add additional training to your stay if you wish, with classes or sessions arranged and paid for separately.
Our Program Coordinators can also work with you to arrange your wellness schedule around outside exercise or other commitments wherever possible.
You certainly don't need to stop moving because you are detoxing. For many guests, the difference is simply changing the emphasis from pushing the body to working with it — starting the morning with yoga or movement, walking outdoors, swimming, stretching and allowing adequate time for recovery and rest.
All Wellness Activities are optional, so you can always adjust your day according to how you feel. Some mornings you may want to do more; others may call for something gentler. Both are part of listening to your body during your detox.
Absolutely. Amity Wellness provides a structured detox program, but you are not confined to the retreat during your stay. We deliberately include scheduled free time so you can relax, head to the beach or experience some of what Phuket has to offer.
Our location in Rawai, at the southern end of Phuket, puts you within easy reach of beaches, local islands, temples, viewpoints, hiking trails, shopping and many of the cultural and natural attractions of southern Phuket.
Each day we provide a complimentary beach shuttle, alternating between Nai Harn and Ya Nui Beach. Nai Harn is one of Phuket's best-loved beaches and is ideal for swimming, walking or simply relaxing by the sea, while smaller Ya Nui is a lovely spot for swimming, snorkelling and kayaking.
Friendship Beach is also approximately 900 metres from Amity and is particularly beautiful for an early-morning walk and sunrise over Chalong Bay. As a shallow, tidal beach, we recommend it more for walking and enjoying the views than for swimming.
For a little authentic Thai retail therapy, we organise a group night-market shopping trip every weekend. It's a fun opportunity to get out with other guests, browse local stalls and experience the atmosphere of a Thai night market during your stay.
If you want to explore further, there is plenty within reach. Guests often visit local islands, temples, Phuket's Big Buddha, shopping malls, viewpoints and hiking trails during their free time.
If you have specific sightseeing plans, simply let our Program Coordinators know. Wherever possible, they can arrange your massage, Inflammation Pod, colon cleansing and other scheduled program elements around your plans so that you can enjoy time away without unnecessarily missing parts of your detox.
At the same time, there is absolutely no pressure to spend your free time sightseeing. Many guests find that one of the unexpected pleasures of a detox retreat is having fewer things they need to do. An afternoon at the beach, a swim in one of our pools, a book, a nap or simply doing very little can be just as enjoyable.
Your stay can therefore be as quiet or as exploratory as you want it to be. Amity provides the structure and support around your detox while still giving you the freedom to enjoy Phuket at your own pace.
Accommodation & Practical Information
Amity Wellness has just 12 private guest rooms, helping us maintain the intimate, personal atmosphere of a boutique detox and wellness retreat. Our accommodation is divided between three different areas of the retreat, each offering a slightly different setting.
We have five upstairs Superior Rooms with a communal balcony, four ground floor Poolside Rooms beside our main swimming pool, and three Bamboo Haven Rooms (2 ground and one upstairs) situated beside our saltwater plunge pool. Whichever area you choose, you are never far from the pools, wellness facilities and communal spaces, with everything conveniently located within our intimate retreat grounds.
Your room provides a comfortable private space to rest, recharge and enjoy some time to yourself between treatments, Wellness Activities and the different elements of your detox program.
Rooms are subject to availability at the time of your enquiry. The default option on our booking enquiry form is "No Preference", so if you would like to request a particular room type — Superior, Poolside or Bamboo Haven — please let us know when submitting your enquiry and we will check availability for your dates. Some room types are particularly popular with returning guests and are usually reserved well in advance.
Your accommodation is always booked for one night longer than the number of wellness program days. This gives you time to arrive, settle into your room and relax before your detox begins the following morning. For example, a 7-day wellness program includes 8 nights of accommodation.
With only 12 rooms in total, wherever you stay you remain part of the same intimate Amity experience. Every resident guest is enrolled in a wellness program, so you are surrounded by others who have also chosen to dedicate time to improving some aspect of their wellbeing. This creates a lovely sense of shared purpose around the retreat, while your room still gives you your own private space to retreat to whenever you want it.
One of the pleasures of staying at Amity is that everything you need for your detox is right here, within an intimate retreat where it doesn't take long to settle in and feel at home.
Between treatments and Wellness Activities, there is plenty of time simply to slow down and enjoy the space around you. You might start the morning with yoga, cool off with a swim, find a comfortable spot with a book, have your massage in the afternoon and finish the day unwinding in the herbal sauna. Some guests naturally spend time together, while others find their favourite quiet corner and enjoy having nowhere else they need to be.
We have two pool areas, including our main swimming pool and a smaller saltwater plunge pool beside the Bamboo Haven rooms. Around the retreat you will also find our Venus Spa, dedicated colon cleansing rooms, FIR Inflammation Pods with Oxygen Therapy, traditional herbal sauna, ice bath, and our yoga and Wellness Activity space.
Premium filtered drinking water is available throughout the retreat, so you can refill your Amity water bottle whenever you need it.
What makes the environment a little different from staying at a conventional Phuket resort is that everyone around you is here for a similar reason. Every resident guest is enrolled in a wellness program. You might be sitting beside someone on the first morning of their detox, chatting with someone halfway through a fast, or sharing a sauna with a returning guest who has been coming to Amity for years.
There is no restaurant crowd, bar scene or stream of regular holiday guests coming and going. Instead, the retreat gradually develops its own rhythm — morning movement, treatments, cleansing, swimming, conversations, quiet moments, beach time and plenty of opportunity to rest.
With only 12 rooms, you never have far to go. Your treatments, pools and Wellness Activities are all close by, leaving you with less time rushing from one place to another and more time simply to be where you are.
Yes. Complimentary Wi-Fi is available throughout Amity Wellness, so you can stay in touch with family and friends, answer emails or continue with work commitments when you need to.
We understand that life doesn't always stop simply because you have booked a wellness retreat. If you have an important meeting or work commitment during your stay, just let our Program Coordinators know. Wherever possible, we can arrange your wellness schedule around it so you don't have to choose between looking after yourself and taking care of something important back home.
But one of the lovely things about Amity is that many guests naturally find themselves switching off more than they expected to.
There is no formal digital detox, it tends to happen quite organically. Your day begins with movement, your treatments are arranged for you, there is time to swim or walk to the beach, and you are surrounded by a small group of people who have also chosen to step away from everyday life for a while.
You may start the week checking your phone beside the pool and, a few days later, realise that you have spent the afternoon reading a book, chatting with another cleanser, having a nap or simply sitting quietly without thinking about it at all.
With only 12 rooms, Amity has a very personal, almost home-away-from-home feeling. Guests and team members get to know one another, conversations happen naturally and everyone shares the same intimate spaces. We simply ask that guests consider those around them when using phones in communal areas, particularly for calls, videos or audio, so that someone else's quiet moment can remain quiet.
Some guests need to work for a few hours each day. Others close their laptop when they arrive and don't open it again until they leave. Both are completely fine.
Stay connected when you need to. Switch off when you can. Sometimes having the freedom to do both is exactly what you need.
We want your time at Amity Wellness to feel simple and uncomplicated from the moment you arrive. You don't need to bring special detox equipment or fill your suitcase with things for the program — we provide the essentials you need to settle in and begin your stay.
After arrival, you will receive an Amity T-shirt, comfortable Thai yoga pants, reusable water bottle and Amity shoulder bag, and a freshly prepared welcome salad will be waiting in your room. You will also find herbal teas in your room, and once your detox program begins you will receive organic coconut oil and your own detox shaker for preparing your cleansing drinks.
Throughout your stay, you have unlimited access to premium filtered drinking water, with dispensers around the retreat so you can keep your reusable bottle topped up throughout the day. Your cleanse kit and the botanical, cleansing and nutritional support appropriate to your detox program are also provided as part of your wellness package.
Your room is looked after by our housekeeping team throughout your stay, with fresh towels and bed linen provided. With only 12 guest rooms, our housekeeping team quickly become familiar faces and are very much part of the warm, family atmosphere at Amity. If you would prefer a lighter environmental footprint during your stay, just let our office team know that you would like your towels and bed linen changed less frequently. Our housekeeping team will be very happy to accommodate your preference.
We don't provide individual toiletries, skincare or cosmetics in the guest rooms, so please bring the personal essentials you need. During your detox, however, we encourage you to simplify what you put on your skin. Just as you are taking a break from many of the foods, drinks and everyday habits that form part of your normal routine, this can be a lovely opportunity to take a break from unnecessary make-up, perfumes and heavily formulated personal-care products too.
For a few days, we encourage a less-is-more approach. Use what you need, but consider minimising strong fragrances, unnecessary dyes, heavily perfumed products and complex cosmetic formulations. Many guests choose simple, natural or organic toiletries and enjoy giving their skin a break alongside the rest of their routine. A selection of organic personal-care products is also available to purchase from our shop cupboard in the Amity office.
Laundry service is available for an additional charge, which can be particularly useful during a longer stay and means there is no need to overpack.
In reality, many guests soon discover that life at Amity becomes wonderfully uncomplicated. Your Amity T-shirt, comfortable yoga pants, swimwear, activity clothes and flip-flops can take you through much of your stay.
It is all part of stepping away from your usual routine for a while, bringing a little less, needing a little less and giving yourself more time and space to focus on you.
No. Amity Wellness is dedicated exclusively to guests participating in our wellness programs, and we don't offer accommodation-only stays.
Unlike a conventional Phuket hotel or resort where wellness treatments are an optional addition to a holiday, the wellness program is the reason for staying at Amity. Every resident guest is taking part in a structured detox or cleanse, whether they have chosen our Raw Cleanse, Intermittent Fasting, Juice Cleanse, Full Fast or a combination during their stay.
This is an important part of the Amity experience. With only 12 guest rooms and everyone following a wellness program, you are surrounded by people who have also chosen to dedicate some time to themselves. Guests may be following very different approaches, but there is a shared sense of purpose that helps create the supportive, friendly atmosphere for which Amity is known.
If you are travelling with a partner, friend or family member who does not wish to participate in a wellness program, there are many hotels and other accommodation options nearby in Rawai. They are very welcome to meet you away from the retreat during your free time.
All resident guests must be at least 18 years old and enrolled in an Amity Wellness program for the duration of their stay.
No. Amity Wellness is exclusively for resident guests who are enrolled in one of our wellness programs. We don't offer day passes, drop-in Wellness Activities, educational talks, individual treatments or access to our wellness facilities for outside visitors.
Our core wellness packages are all-inclusive (ranging from 4 to 21 days), bringing together your accommodation, chosen detox approach, daily restorative massage, cleansing protocols, FIR Inflammation Pod with Oxygen Therapy, colon cleansing where suitable, twice-daily Wellness Activities, herbal sauna, scheduled ice bath sessions, nutritional and botanical support, and ongoing guidance from our wellness team.
Rather than operating as a conventional spa, yoga studio or wellness centre where individual services can be booked separately, these elements are brought together as part of the complete Amity detox and wellness experience.
During their stay, resident guests may also choose to book additional private sessions with our independent wellness practitioners. These specialist sessions are optional, charged separately and available exclusively to guests staying at Amity on a wellness program.
Keeping our facilities, Wellness Activities and therapies exclusively for resident guests is also an important part of maintaining the intimate, personal atmosphere of the retreat. It allows our team to focus their attention on the guests completing their programs and helps create the shared sense of purpose and community that is such an important part of the Amity experience.
Yes. Couples, friends and adult family members are very welcome to experience Amity Wellness together and can share accommodation during their stay.
All of our guest rooms have a king-size bed. If you are happy to share a king-size bed, you can request any of our room types, subject to availability.
If you are travelling together but require separate beds, we have five guest rooms with a layout that can accommodate an additional single bed alongside the existing king-size bed. As only five rooms can accommodate this arrangement, please be specific when submitting your booking enquiry that you require an extra single bed. Our reservations team will then check whether a suitable room is available for your dates.
You don't need to follow the same detox approach simply because you are travelling together. One person might choose the Raw Cleanse while the other follows Intermittent Fasting, Juice Cleanse or a Full Fast. Each guest is individually enrolled in their own wellness program and can follow the approach most appropriate for them.
You can enjoy Wellness Activities, beach trips, pool time and other parts of the experience together while still having the freedom to follow different detox approaches or spend some time doing your own thing.
Sometimes coming to Amity with someone you know can make the experience particularly special, you are sharing the journey, without having to follow exactly the same journey.
Your accommodation begins the day before your wellness program starts, giving you time to arrive, unpack and settle in before beginning your detox the following morning.
Guest rooms are available from 2:00pm on your arrival day. If you arrive earlier, you are welcome to leave your luggage with us and enjoy the communal areas of the retreat while you wait for your room.
Your arrival day is intentionally separate from your official program days. A freshly prepared welcome salad will be waiting in your room, and you are welcome to join the afternoon Wellness Activity, scheduled beach shuttle and herbal sauna if you feel like easing yourself into the Amity routine.
If you would prefer to go out for dinner and enjoy your first evening in Phuket, you are completely free to do so. Alternatively, a raw vegan evening meal can be arranged at Amity for an additional charge.
For guests arriving later in the evening, our main office closes at 7:00pm, but our night security team is based at the office throughout the night and can welcome you and assist with your arrival.
The following morning, your wellness program officially begins with your morning Wellness Activity, group meeting, individual program registration and detox orientation.
Room check-out is by 12:00 noon on your departure day but you are welcome to use the communal facilities and shower in the spa if you have an evening flight.
This is also why, when looking at our packages, you will notice that your accommodation is always one night longer than your number of program days. For example, a 7-day wellness program includes 8 nights of accommodation, giving you that important first evening to arrive and settle in before your cleanse begins.
Your core Amity Wellness package is all-inclusive, so everything you need to follow and enjoy your detox and wellness program is already included in your package price.
Your accommodation, chosen detox approach, daily restorative massage, cleansing protocols, FIR Inflammation Pod with Oxygen Therapy, colon cleansing where suitable, twice-daily Wellness Activities, herbal sauna, scheduled ice bath sessions, botanical and nutritional support, and the other core elements of your wellness program are all included.
If you would like to personalise your stay further, there are a small number of completely optional extras available outside your all-inclusive package. These might include private sessions with our independent wellness practitioners, additional spa treatments beyond your included daily restorative massage, laundry service, products from our small shop cupboard, or an additional raw vegan meal on your arrival evening before your wellness program officially begins (a complimentary welcome salad is included).
You may, of course, also choose to spend money away from the retreat on shopping, sightseeing, independent activities, restaurants before or after your program, or other experiences around Phuket.
One of the nice things about staying at Amity is that you don't need to keep reaching for your wallet throughout the day. Your core detox and wellness experience has already been brought together within your all-inclusive package, allowing you to focus on your program rather than deciding which treatments or activities you need to purchase each day.
Travel and Getting to Amity Wellness
Amity Wellness is located in Rawai, at the southern end of Phuket, Thailand. The nearest airport is Phuket International Airport (HKT), which receives international flights as well as frequent domestic connections from Bangkok and other destinations within Thailand.
Amity is approximately 45 kilometres from Phuket International Airport, with the journey to the retreat taking around one hour, depending on traffic.
To make your arrival as easy as possible, we can arrange a private airport transfer for 1,100 THB per car, each way. Your driver will meet you at Phuket International Airport and bring you directly to Amity Wellness in Rawai, so you can simply arrive, unpack and begin settling into your stay.
If you cannot find a convenient direct flight to Phuket, the island is also very easy to reach via Bangkok, with frequent connecting domestic flights to Phuket.
Your accommodation begins one night before your wellness program, so there is no need to arrive at a particular time in order to begin your detox. Your first evening is deliberately there for you to arrive, settle into your room, enjoy your welcome salad and recover from your journey before your program begins the following morning.
International visitors will also need to complete Thailand's Digital Arrival Card (TDAC). It is a straightforward online arrival form and isn't something to worry about, we'll explain how to complete it in our travel information, and if you haven't completed it before travelling, you can also complete it when you arrive at Phuket International Airport before passing through immigration.
Yes. International visitors travelling to Thailand are required to complete the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) before passing through immigration. It is simply Thailand's digital arrival form and has replaced the old paper arrival card that many returning visitors may remember completing on the plane.
The form asks for some basic information about your passport, journey and where you will be staying in Thailand. The TDAC is free to complete and is separate from your visa or visa-exemption arrangements.
You can complete the form online within 3 days of arrival. And don't worry if you haven't managed to do it before your flight as you can also complete the TDAC when you arrive at Phuket International Airport before going through immigration, so it shouldn't be something that adds stress to your journey.
We have also created a simple step-by-step TDAC guide for Amity guests, including the information you may need when completing the form:
Amity Wellness Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) Guide
Once completed, keep the confirmation accessible on your phone when you arrive in Thailand.
When travelling internationally, we strongly recommend that all guests have valid travel insurance in place for the duration of their trip to Thailand.
Hopefully, it is something you will purchase and never need to use, but having appropriate travel insurance can provide a little extra peace of mind while you are away from home, allowing you to relax and enjoy your time in Thailand.
Travel insurance is not included as part of your Amity Wellness package.
Many international visitors travelling to Thailand for a holiday are eligible to enter under Thailand's visa-exemption scheme, so you may not need to arrange a tourist visa before travelling.
The requirements and permitted length of stay depend on your nationality and passport, so we recommend checking the current entry requirements before your trip.
Thailand's Ministry of Foreign Affairs provides an easy online service where you can check the requirements that apply to you and, if necessary, apply for an e-Visa. Thailand e-Visa
Check your Thailand visa requirements – Official Thai e-Visa Website
Your visa or visa-exemption status is separate from the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC), which should also be completed for your arrival in Thailand.
No. You don't need to hire a car or scooter to enjoy your stay at Amity Wellness. Your accommodation, treatments, Wellness Activities and detox program all take place at the retreat, and we provide a complimentary scheduled beach shuttle each day.
Our beach shuttle alternates between Nai Harn Beach and Ya Nui Beach, giving you an easy opportunity to enjoy some of southern Phuket's beautiful coastline, swim, walk or simply spend some time by the sea without needing your own transport.
Friendship Beach is approximately 900 metres from Amity and is an easy option for guests who enjoy an early-morning walk. Its east-coast location makes it particularly lovely for watching the sunrise
If you would like to explore more of Phuket during your free time, our team can help you arrange local transport or tours. Taxis and app-based transport services(Grab and Bolt) are also readily available, making it easy to go shopping, sightseeing or explore more of the island.
Some guests choose to hire a car or scooter independently. If you do, please make sure you have the appropriate International Driving Permit together with your valid driving licence, and check that your travel insurance provides suitable cover for driving or riding a motor vehicle in Thailand.
For many guests, however, there is no need to drive at all. You can arrive at Phuket International Airport, take our private transfer directly to Amity and comfortably enjoy your wellness retreat without hiring a vehicle.
Don't worry if your flight times don't match our 2:00pm room check-in or 12:00 noon room check-out times. We understand that flights arrive and depart Phuket throughout the day, and we want your arrival and departure to feel as easy as possible.
If you arrive before your room is ready, you are welcome to leave your luggage with us and enjoy the communal facilities at Amity while you wait.
If you have a later flight on your departure day, you are equally welcome to store your luggage with us and continue enjoying the communal areas of the retreat after checking out of your room. You can relax by the pool, read or simply enjoy a little more time at Amity before leaving for the airport. A shower is also available in our Venus Spa, so you can freshen up and change before your journey home.
Yes. If you are already staying elsewhere in Phuket before your wellness retreat, we can help arrange private transport to Amity Wellness in Rawai.
The cost will depend on your collection location, so simply let our reservations team know where you will be staying and we can confirm the transfer price for you.
We can also help arrange onward transport when you leave Amity, whether you are travelling to Phuket International Airport, another hotel or another destination on the island.
You are, of course, also welcome to arrange your own taxi or app-based transport if you prefer.
There is no need for Amity to be the first or last stop on your Thailand holiday. Some guests come directly to us after landing in Phuket, while others spend a few days exploring Thailand before their detox or continue their holiday afterwards. Your Amity stay can fit comfortably into the wider trip you have planned.
Booking, Pricing & Reservations
Booking your stay at Amity Wellness begins by submitting a booking enquiry for your preferred dates. You can do this using our online booking enquiry page or simply contact our reservations team using the WhatsApp button on our website if you would prefer to chat with us directly.
Our online price calculator allows you to see the cost of your chosen program length and accommodation before submitting your details. The calculator provides pricing only and does not show live room availability. Once you submit the enquiry, it is sent directly to our reservations team, who will personally check availability for your requested dates.
If suitable accommodation is available, we will inform you and can place the room on a temporary pending hold, giving you time to complete the next step of the booking process, our online health pre-screening application.
Every guest is required to complete the pre-screening before their wellness package can be confirmed. Our wellness team will review the information you provide to identify any contraindications that might prevent attendance and make sure that we can appropriately accommodate you at Amity. Pre-screening applications are reviewed within 24 hours.
Once everything has been finalised and you have received your pre-screening approval email, we ask you to send our reservations team confirmation of your flight into Thailand. We can use your confirmed travel arrangements in place of requesting a monetary deposit, allowing us to secure your reservation without asking you to pay for your wellness package in advance.
Payment can then be conveniently made after you arrive at Amity Wellness.
You don't need to decide whether you would like to follow the Raw Cleanse, Intermittent Fasting, Juice Cleanse or Full Fast when making your booking. All our wellness programs are the same price, and you can discuss your preferred approach with your Wellness Consultant in your registration meeting. You can also combine or change approaches during your stay where appropriate.
When submitting your booking enquiry, the default room selection is "No Preference." If you would particularly like a Upstairs Superior, Poolside or Bamboo Haven room, or you require one of the limited rooms that can accommodate an additional single bed, please tell us when enquiring so we can check the appropriate availability.
With only 12 guest rooms, we recommend booking ahead where possible. Some returning guests book well in advance to secure their favourite rooms, and during Phuket's high season we often operate at high occupancy, with a waiting list for particularly popular dates.
If your travel dates are important to you, or you have a particular room preference, enquiring early gives you the best choice and helps avoid disappointment.

Alternatively, use the WhatsApp button on our website to chat with our reservations team.
There is no fixed amount of time in advance that you need to book, and we are always happy to accommodate last-minute enquiries when we have availability.
However, Amity Wellness has only 12 guest rooms, and we regularly operate at high occupancy during Phuket's high season. At particularly popular times, we may also have a waiting list for cancellations.
Many of our returning guests have favourite rooms they would like and book well in advance to secure their preference. If you have fixed travel dates, a particular room preference, or require one of the limited rooms that can accommodate an additional single bed, we recommend enquiring as early as you can.
If your dates are flexible, our reservations team can also help you find alternative dates when your first choice is unavailable.
You can check current package prices using our online calculator. Please remember that the calculator shows pricing rather than live availability. Submitting the calculator sends your enquiry to our reservations team, who will personally check the rooms available for your dates.

Yes. Amity Wellness is open 365 days a year, including Christmas, New Year and other public holidays. Our wellness programs run as usual every day of the year, so you can plan your stay for the time that suits you best.
Phuket has different seasons, and both high and low season can be wonderful times to visit Amity.
During the high season, Phuket is generally hotter and drier, with excellent conditions for beaches, swimming and exploring the islands. It is also the most popular time to visit Phuket, and Amity often operates at high occupancy, so we recommend booking ahead, particularly if you have fixed dates or a favourite room.
The low or green season offers a more laid-back vibe in Thailand. Phuket becomes beautifully lush and green, the island is generally less busy. Amity usually offers our biggest seasonal promotions during this period, and international flights to Phuket can also be considerably less expensive than during the peak holiday season. Tropical showers are more frequent, but there are still plenty of sunshine to enjoy.
Whichever season you choose, the Amity wellness experience remains the same, with our detox programs, daily treatments, wellness activities and support continuing throughout the year.
There really isn't one "best" time to visit. High season offers the classic Phuket holiday atmosphere, while the low or green season can offer exceptional value and a more relaxed side of the island.
Yes. Amity Wellness offers seasonal pricing and promotions throughout the year, which means the cost of your stay can vary depending on when you choose to visit.
Our low or green season generally offers our biggest promotions, making it an excellent time to experience the full Amity detox and wellness program at particularly good value. During Phuket's high season, demand is much greater and promotional discounts may be smaller.
Importantly, the wellness program itself does not change with the season. Whether you visit during a promotional period or at the height of Phuket's high season, you receive the same comprehensive program, daily treatments, wellness activities, support and access to Amity's facilities.
We also love welcoming familiar faces back to Amity. Returning guests receive our Returning Guest discount. When using the online price calculator, simply select the "Returning Guest" box and enter the email address you have previously used with Amity so that your returning guest pricing can be applied.
The easiest way to see the price for your preferred dates and program length is to use our online price calculator, which will calculate the applicable pricing for your stay.
Please remember that the calculator provides pricing only and does not show live room availability. Once you submit your enquiry, it is sent to our reservations team, who will personally check availability for your requested dates.
Calculate the Price for Your Stay
No. Amity Wellness does not normally require a monetary deposit to secure your wellness retreat booking.
Once your dates and accommodation have been arranged and you have received your pre-screening approval, we ask you to send our reservations team confirmation of your flight into Thailand. We use your confirmed travel arrangements in place of a financial deposit to secure your reservation.
This means you do not need to pay for your wellness package months in advance. Payment can conveniently be made after you arrive at Amity Wellness.
We have chosen to keep the process this way because we want booking your stay to feel simple, personal and straightforward, particularly when you may already be organising international flights and the rest of your Thailand travel.
If you have any questions before confirming your travel arrangements, our reservations team is always happy to help.
Payment is made after you arrive at Amity Wellness, on the morning your wellness program begins.
After your morning registration meeting has been completed, our team will provide your invoice and arrange payment with you. This means there is no need to pay for your wellness package in advance before travelling to Thailand.
All invoices are charged in Thai Baht (THB). Payment can be made by card, or in cash. If paying by card, the physical card is required for our payment system, so please make sure you bring it with you to the retreat.
If you prefer to pay in cash, there are ATMs, banks and currency exchange services in the local Rawai area, making it easy to access or exchange Thai Baht during your stay.
During your stay, you may also choose to book additional private therapies or specialist sessions outside your all-inclusive wellness package. These are completely optional and are payable in cash only. There is no need to pay for each session individually as you go; they can be added to your account and settled conveniently at the end of your stay.
We understand that sometimes life doesn't go according to plan, particularly when international travel is involved. If unforeseen circumstances mean that you need to change your dates or cancel your stay at Amity Wellness, we do not charge a cancellation fee.
We operate this way because we trust that when a guest needs to cancel a wellness retreat they have been looking forward to, there is usually a genuine reason behind it.
We simply ask that you let our reservations team know as soon as possible if your plans change.
As an independent, family-run retreat with only 12 guest rooms, a last-minute cancellation that we are unable to refill can have a significant impact on our small business, particularly when we have previously turned away other guests or had a waiting list for those dates.
The more notice you can give us, the better chance we have of offering the room to someone else. We genuinely appreciate our guests' consideration in helping us manage this fairly.
It may be possible to extend your stay, but only if we have accommodation available for the additional dates.
Amity Wellness has just 12 guest rooms, and particularly during high season we often have guests arriving immediately after another guest departs. For this reason, an extension can never be guaranteed, and we recommend booking the full length of stay you would ideally like from the beginning whenever possible.
If you do decide during your stay that you would like some extra time at Amity, please speak with our team as early as possible. We will check the reservations calendar and let you know what is available. In some cases, extending may also require moving to a different room.
Wellness programs can be extended up to a maximum of 21 program days in total. The Full Fast itself is limited to a maximum of 10 days, although you can continue with another detox approach for the remainder of your stay where appropriate.
If we have availability, we will always be happy to help you stay a little longer.
Yes. You can stay at Amity Wellness for up to 21 program days without following the same detox approach for your entire stay.
Our Full Fast is limited to a maximum of 10 days, but this does not mean your overall wellness program needs to end after 10 days. For a longer stay, you can combine the Full Fast with the Raw Cleanse, Intermittent Fasting Program or Juice Cleanse before or afterwards, depending on what is appropriate for you.
In fact, you do not need to plan the exact sequence before you arrive. Your detox approach can be discussed during your registration meeting and adapted during your stay according to how you are feeling and your individual suitability.
All of our core detox approaches are the same price, so moving between them does not change the cost of your wellness program.
This flexibility allows you to book the length of stay you would like without feeling that you need to follow the most intensive approach for the entire time.
Amity Wellness is a dedicated detox and wellness retreat rather than a conventional hotel, so we do not offer accommodation-only stays.
Every guest staying at Amity must be enrolled in a wellness program for each full day of their stay, with the exception of their arrival and departure days.
Your accommodation therefore begins the day before your wellness program starts, giving you time to arrive, settle in and prepare for your first program morning. Your final night is the night before your departure day. For example, a 7-day wellness program includes 8 nights of accommodation.
If you would like to spend additional time in Phuket before or after your retreat without participating in a wellness program, there are plenty of hotels and other accommodation options in the Rawai area (we are happy to make recommendations).
Keeping Amity exclusively for guests participating in our wellness programs is an important part of the experience. Everyone staying at the retreat is there with a shared intention to dedicate some time to their wellbeing, which helps preserve the intimate and supportive atmosphere that makes Amity feel different from a regular resort.
Yes. An Amity Wellness stay can be a meaningful gift for a partner, friend or family member, particularly if you would like to give someone time to step away from everyday life and focus on themselves.
Because every guest must complete our health pre-screening process before their reservation can be approved, we recommend contacting our reservations team before making firm travel arrangements on someone else's behalf. The person attending Amity will need to complete their own pre-screening application and provide the required health and medication information themselves.
Once their stay has been approved, our reservations team can help you with the practical arrangements.
No. Amity Wellness does not work with booking agents or offer agency commissions, referral fees or incentives for recommending our retreat.
All reservations are handled directly by our own team. Because every guest completes a personal health pre-screening before their stay can be confirmed, we believe it is important to communicate directly with the person who will be attending the retreat. This allows our team to answer questions, understand individual requirements and guide each guest through the booking and pre-screening process personally.
We are incredibly grateful that many of our guests discover Amity through genuine word-of-mouth recommendations from previous guests.
What we do offer is a Returning Guest loyalty discount as our way of recognising and welcoming back guests who choose to return to Amity for another stay.
For us, there is something quite special about knowing that so many new guests arrive because someone they trust told them about Amity.
Yes. Amity Wellness welcomes small groups of friends or adult family members who would like to experience a wellness retreat together.
As Amity has only 12 guest rooms and regularly operates at high occupancy, we usually limit group bookings to a maximum of five rooms. If you are planning to visit as a group, we recommend enquiring well in advance so our reservations team can check whether we can accommodate everyone over the same dates.
Each guest must be aged 18 or over, enrolled in their own wellness program and complete an individual health pre-screening application before their reservation can be confirmed. Group members do not need to follow the same detox approach, so everyone can choose the experience that is most appropriate for them.
It is also important to understand that a group will not follow one identical daily schedule. Individual wellness inclusions are spaced throughout the day. Amity has three FIR Inflammation Pods, three private colon cleansing rooms and three massage rooms, so appointments are scheduled at different times for different guests.
You will still be able to enjoy scheduled group Wellness Activities, communal time, meals where applicable, the pools, sauna, beach visits and plenty of your Amity experience together, while individual treatments and wellness appointments take place at different times throughout the day.
For many groups, this creates a lovely balance: you can share the retreat experience together while still having space for your own individual wellness journey.
Yes. All of our rooms are lovely, and every room type is the same price, but we understand that different guests have different preferences and practical requirements.
Amity has just 12 private guest rooms, comprising five upstairs Superior Rooms, four Poolside Rooms beside the main swimming pool and three Bamboo Haven Rooms beside the saltwater plunge pool.
Some guests prefer to be on the ground floor because of mobility considerations, while others enjoy being a little further away from the main pool area for greater privacy. Some guests travelling together may also require an additional single bed. All of our rooms have a king-size bed, but only five rooms have sufficient space to accommodate an additional single bed.
For these reasons, it is important to tell us about any room preference or requirement when you first submit your booking enquiry. Our reservations team can then check the exact room availability across your entire stay and make sure the room being offered is suitable for you.
If you have no particular preference, the default setting is "No Preference" on the booking enquiry and we will allocate a lovely room based on availability.
Because Amity regularly operates at high occupancy and rooms are allocated around incoming and departing reservations, we are unable to accommodate requests to change rooms after arrival. If a particular location, ground-floor room, additional bed or room type is important to you, please make sure you tell us before your booking is confirmed.
Some returning guests have a favourite room and book well in advance to secure it, but there is no premium room category at Amity. The different room types simply allow you to choose the setting that feels most suitable for your stay.
It is important to check availability with us first and complete the health pre-screening process before making non-refundable travel arrangements specifically for your Amity stay.
The first step is to submit your preferred dates through our booking enquiry or contact our reservations team via WhatsApp. If we have suitable accommodation available, we can place a room on a temporary pending hold while you complete your health pre-screening application.
Once your pre-screening has been reviewed and you have received your approval email, you can finalise your travel arrangements with confidence. We then ask you to send us confirmation of your flight into Thailand, which we use in place of a monetary deposit to secure your reservation.
If you are already travelling in Thailand or have already booked your flights before discovering Amity, that is absolutely fine. Simply send us your dates and we will check what availability we have.
With only 12 rooms, checking with us before arranging travel around an Amity stay is particularly important during high season, when some dates may be fully booked or have a waiting list.
Yes. If Amity Wellness is fully booked for your preferred dates, our reservations team can add you to our waiting list and contact you if suitable accommodation becomes available.
With only 12 guest rooms and high occupancy throughout popular periods, we often have waiting lists for peak dates. Travel plans do change, so rooms occasionally become available again closer to arrival.
If your dates are flexible, please let us know. Our reservations team can also check nearby dates or alternative room types that may allow you to stay without waiting for a cancellation.
As a thank you for their continued loyalty, returning Amity guests receive priority on our waiting lists. If you have stayed with us before, please make sure our reservations team knows when you join the waiting list.
If you have specific accommodation requirements, such as a ground-floor room or a room that can accommodate an additional single bed, please also mention this so we only contact you when suitable accommodation becomes available.
If Amity is an important part of your Thailand travel plans, we recommend enquiring early wherever possible, particularly for peak dates.
Food, Nutrition & Dietary Requirements
Amity Wellness has its own dedicated raw vegan kitchen, where our team prepares fresh, colourful plant-based food as part of our cleansing programs.
Our approach is very different from the idea that a detox retreat means surviving on plain salads. We want nutritious food to be something guests genuinely look forward to. Depending on the day's menu, you might find smoothie bowls, raw muesli, creative salads and main dishes, fermented foods, fresh juices and healthy raw desserts.
Guests following our Raw Cleanse enjoy our Nourish to Flourish menu, which includes a raw vegan breakfast, lunch and dinner, two freshly prepared juices and a raw vegan dessert each day.
Alongside the main nutritional approach, our programs also incorporate a variety of nourishing drinks and nutritional additions throughout the day, including fresh young coconuts, a superfood shot, detox tonic, ginger tea and a mineral-rich broth or bone broth, together with the cleansing shakes, botanicals and other nutritional support included within the program.
Guests following Intermittent Fasting enjoy our raw vegan foods within their chosen eating window, while those following the Juice Cleanse or Full Fast have a different nutritional schedule appropriate to their chosen detox approach.
Our raw vegan kitchen prepares food without meat, fish, dairy, eggs, refined sugar, hydrogenated oils, MSG or artificial preservatives. Bone broth is offered separately where appropriate and is therefore the exception to the otherwise plant-based nutritional offering.
For many guests, one of the surprises of staying at Amity is discovering just how creative, satisfying and enjoyable fresh raw plant-based food can be, and how much variety can be incorporated into a structured wellness program.
Yes. Our kitchen can accommodate many common dietary requirements and food intolerances, and we ask guests to tell us about these during the pre-screening process so our kitchen team can prepare appropriately for their stay.
Our kitchen is predominantly raw vegan, so our regular food menus contain no meat, fish, dairy or eggs. We also prepare our food without refined sugar, hydrogenated oils, MSG or artificial preservatives. Bone broth is available separately as an alternative to our plant-based mineral broth.
Because our food is freshly prepared onsite, we can often make reasonable adjustments to individual meals. However, nuts are regularly used throughout our raw vegan kitchen, and we do not have a separate allergen-free food preparation environment. For this reason, we are unable to accommodate guests with a severe or anaphylactic nut allergy.
Guests with severe food allergies or medically required dietary restrictions should discuss these with us before confirming their stay so we can explain what we can and cannot accommodate.
Our cleansing programs also include nutritional supplements, botanical preparations and cleansing drinks outside of the meals prepared by our kitchen. Amity does not provide medical or pharmaceutical advice regarding potential allergies, contraindications or interactions between these products and prescription medications. If you have concerns about the suitability of any botanical alongside a medical condition, allergy or medication, you should discuss this with your doctor or pharmacist before participating.
Our food program is centred around fresh raw vegan nutrition, so we do not serve cooked meals at Amity Wellness.
The exception is in the evening, when guests can receive a warm mineral-rich broth or bone broth, depending on their program and preference. This provides something warm and comforting at the end of the day while remaining part of the structured cleansing program.
Everything else prepared by our Raw Kitchen is served raw, including our breakfasts, lunches, dinners, desserts and other food-based elements of the program.
For guests who have never experienced raw vegan cuisine before, the variety can often be a pleasant surprise. Our Raw Kitchen team creates a changing selection of dishes using fresh whole-food ingredients, so raw doesn't simply mean salads and cold vegetables.
Our Raw Kitchen can accommodate certain dietary requirements, but we are unable to create individually tailored meal plans for each guest.
Amity's detox programs follow a carefully structured nutritional framework, with the Raw Cleanse, Intermittent Fasting, Juice Cleanse and Full Fast forming the core approaches. This allows our kitchen and wellness teams to provide a consistent program across our intimate 12-room retreat.
You can move between the different detox approaches where appropriate, and we can make certain modifications for dietary requirements, but we cannot design a separate menu around individual food preferences, calorie targets, macronutrient goals or personal meal plans.
If you have a medically required dietary restriction, please tell us during pre-screening so we can confirm whether our existing program can appropriately accommodate it.
No. Outside food and meals cannot be brought or delivered into the retreat during your wellness program.
Everyone staying at Amity is participating in a structured detox program, and maintaining that environment is an important part of the experience for all of our guests. For this reason, food deliveries, takeaway meals and outside restaurant food are not permitted within the retreat.
You will have everything provided for your chosen detox approach as part of your program, whether you are following the Raw Cleanse, Intermittent Fasting, Juice Cleanse or Full Fast.
This also helps preserve the shared wellness environment at Amity.
Our Raw Cleanse is centred around fresh, detox compatible, whole, plant-based nutrition rather than specific calorie or macronutrient targets, but we do understand that some guests are physically active and may prefer a higher protein intake.
If you are exercising during your stay and would like additional protein, our Raw Kitchen can provide extra plant-based protein balls alongside your usual Raw Cleanse. Just speak with your Wellness Consultant and kitchen team so we can incorporate these into your program.
Spirulina is already included as part of our cleansing program. Spirulina is naturally rich in plant protein, with protein making up approximately 60–70% of its dry weight, and it provides essential amino acids alongside nutrients including iron and antioxidant compounds such as phycocyanin. Guests who would like additional spirulina can request an extra serving during their stay.
Guests looking for a little additional protein may also choose our bone broth in place of the plant-based mineral broth in the evening.
If maintaining a particular protein intake is important to you, you are also welcome to bring your own plant-based protein powder providing you choose a clean, good-quality product that fits with the purpose of your cleanse, ideally with a simple ingredient list and without large amounts of added sugar, artificial flavours, sweeteners or unnecessary additives.
For guests planning to continue more intensive workouts during their stay, the Raw Cleanse or Intermittent Fasting Program will generally provide more nutritional flexibility than our Juice Cleanse or Full Fast.
If you are already following a low-FODMAP diet, we can modify our Raw Cleanse to provide a low-FODMAP version, allowing you to still participate in the Amity detox and wellness program while continuing to avoid many of the foods you currently restrict.
However, combining a low-FODMAP approach with a raw vegan menu is very restrictive, so the range of foods and dishes available will naturally be more limited than on our classic Raw Cleanse.
It is also important to recognise that raw foods are not equally well tolerated by everyone with digestive sensitivities. If you are following a low-FODMAP diet under the guidance of a doctor, dietitian or other healthcare practitioner, we recommend discussing the suitability of a predominantly raw diet with them before your stay.
Please tell us that you are following a low-FODMAP diet during your health pre-screening, rather than waiting until arrival, so our kitchen and wellness teams can prepare accordingly.
Yes. Amity Wellness offers a Candida-friendly variation of our Raw Cleanse for guests who prefer a more restrictive, lower natural sugar approach to the food-based program.
Rather than following our classic Raw Cleanse menu, the Candida-friendly option omits the raw vegan desserts and places greater emphasis on green juices and lower glycaemic food groups, while still providing fresh, whole, plant-based nutrition throughout the day.
The food program is layered with the wider elements of our cleansing protocol, including our high-fibre cleansing drinks, program botanicals and nutritional support, together with the other wellness inclusions that form part of your Amity program.
This option can be selected by guests who are already following a Candida-conscious way of eating or who simply prefer a lower natural sugar version of our Raw Cleanse.
Weight loss is a common goal for many of our guests, and it can certainly be a welcome outcome of an Amity Wellness program, but we believe a successful cleanse goes much deeper than simply seeing a lower number on the scales.
Our programs are not built around calorie counting, strict weight-loss targets or promises about how many kilograms you will lose. Instead, we focus on creating an environment that supports positive changes in nutrition, lifestyle habits and metabolic wellbeing.
During a stay, guests step away from many of the things that can gradually become part of everyday life, including alcohol, caffeine, refined sugar, highly processed foods and habitual snacking, while following a structured program of fresh whole-food nutrition or fasting, cleansing protocols, movement, restorative treatments, education and rest.
For guests who have weight-loss goals, we are often more interested in positive changes in waist circumference, body composition and visceral fat than focusing solely on total body weight. The scales tell only one part of the story.
The wider goals of the Amity experience can include supporting healthy digestion and gut health, reducing cravings, breaking unhelpful eating habits, supporting healthy blood-sugar regulation and metabolic health, encouraging normal detoxification pathways, supporting a healthy inflammatory balance, improving nutritional choices and helping guests reconnect with their natural hunger and fullness cues.
Many guests also value changes that cannot be measured on a scale at all, such as feeling more energetic, sleeping better, feeling clearer and more motivated, discovering healthier foods they genuinely enjoy, or simply proving to themselves that they can step away from habits they previously felt dependent upon.
Some guests lose a noticeable amount of weight during their stay, others lose very little, and individual results can never be predicted or guaranteed. Changes during a cleanse can also include shifts in fluid balance and digestive contents, particularly over shorter stays.
So while weight loss can be a very welcome part of the journey, at Amity we would much rather help you leave feeling that something meaningful has changed in the way you eat, think, feel and care for yourself than judge the success of your retreat by the scales alone.
Additional Therapies, Treatments & Local Wellness Services
Yes. Alongside your inclusive wellness program, Amity Wellness works with a carefully selected network of independent, Phuket-based wellness practitioners who offer additional private therapies and specialist sessions.
These practitioners are independent professionals, not employees of Amity Wellness, and manage their own availability. We work with practitioners who are based in Phuket rather than those visiting for short periods, allowing us to build established relationships with the people we recommend.
On the morning your wellness program begins, you will receive an up-to-date list of available practitioners, therapies and prices as part of your induction kit. If something interests you, simply complete a Therapy Request Slip and return it to our main office. Our team will help coordinate your enquiry and arrange an appointment, subject to availability.
If you are unsure whether a particular therapy is right for you, an introductory discovery call can also be arranged directly with the practitioner, giving you an opportunity to discuss your interests, expectations and any relevant considerations before deciding whether to book.
Most private sessions take place in our dedicated therapy room at Amity Wellness, although practitioners with their own specialist clinics may offer appointments at their external premises.
While we aim to provide a varied selection of additional therapies throughout the year, all sessions are subject to practitioner availability. Our practitioners are Phuket residents, but they also take holidays and manage their own schedules, so particular therapies cannot always be guaranteed during your chosen dates.
Additional therapies are completely optional and charged separately from your wellness package. Payment for additional services can be settled at the end of your stay. ATMs, banks and currency exchange services are readily available in the local Rawai area.
Our intention is to give you the freedom to explore additional areas of wellbeing that interest you, with the convenience of having our team help coordinate the arrangements during your stay.
Alongside our inclusive detox and wellness programs, Amity Wellness offers guests the opportunity to explore a range of additional private therapies and specialist sessions with our carefully selected network of independent wellness practitioners based in Phuket.
Depending on practitioner availability, these may include sound, Tok Sen traditional Thai therapy, Acupuncture, Body Realignment, Reiki, Breathwork, Family Constellations, Lymphatic Drainage therapy, Nutrition Coaching, Chi Nei Tsang abdominal massage, Hijama (cupping therapy), and personalised wellbeing and mindset sessions.
These individual appointments offer an opportunity to explore particular areas of interest in greater depth, whether you are seeking relaxation, traditional therapeutic bodywork, personal reflection or simply the experience of trying something new.
Some guests enjoy incorporating additional therapies into their stay, while others prefer to leave their schedule open for rest, group activities and time by the pool. There is absolutely no expectation to book anything extra, as your core wellness program already includes a comprehensive range of treatments, activities and nutritional support.
Our independent practitioners manage their own schedules, so the selection of therapies may vary throughout the year. You will receive an up-to-date list of available therapies and prices in your induction kit on the morning your wellness program begins, and our office team will be happy to help coordinate any appointments that interest you.
To discover more about the treatments and specialist sessions that may be available during your stay, explore our Amity Wellness Therapies & Services overview page.
Absolutely. Many of our guests take advantage of their time in Phuket to arrange a comprehensive private medical health check-up at Bangkok Hospital Phuket, an established international hospital offering an impressive range of health screening packages.
One of the greatest advantages is the convenience. A wide range of medical investigations can often be completed in a single visit, typically taking just a few hours to half a day, depending on the package selected. Rather than arranging separate appointments for individual tests, guests can access a coordinated screening experience with qualified medical professionals.
Depending on the package, investigations may include:
• Comprehensive blood work, including cholesterol, blood sugar, liver and kidney function, and selected nutritional or hormonal markers.
• Cardiovascular assessments, such as an electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG) or echocardiogram.
• Diagnostic imaging, including chest X-rays and ultrasound examinations.
• Bone density assessments, where included or available.
• Digestive health investigations, including stool analysis where offered.
• Age- and sex-specific health screenings, with packages designed around different health priorities.
Many routine results may be available on the same day, giving guests an opportunity to review their findings with the hospital's medical team before returning to Amity. More specialised investigations may require additional processing time, so result turnaround should always be confirmed directly with the hospital.
Although Amity Wellness is not a medically licensed facility and does not provide medical testing, diagnosis or treatment, we are delighted to help guests access these independent healthcare services. Our office team can coordinate appointments directly with the hospital on your behalf, help plan your visit around your wellness schedule and arrange taxi transfers.
All investigations, medical consultations and results are handled by Bangkok Hospital Phuket, with payment made directly to the hospital.
You can explore the Bangkok Hospital Phuket health screening packages to discover the available screening options: bangkokhospital.com health check-up packages
For guests interested in taking a more proactive approach to their long-term wellbeing, combining a dedicated wellness retreat with access to comprehensive independent medical screening can be a particularly valuable opportunity. It allows you to dedicate time not only to nutrition, rest and healthier lifestyle habits, but also to gaining a more informed understanding of your health through professional medical assessment.
Amity Wellness is not a medically licensed facility and does not provide IV vitamin therapy or intravenous treatments. However, Phuket has a number of reputable private hospitals and medical clinics offering these services under the supervision of qualified healthcare professionals.
IV vitamin therapy involves delivering fluids, vitamins and minerals directly into the bloodstream. Depending on the provider, different formulations may be available, with suitability determined through an individual medical consultation.
Amity Wellness does not administer IV infusions or provide medical treatments onsite. However, our office team can help you contact a local clinic, enquire about available services and coordinate an appointment around your wellness schedule. All medical consultations, assessments and treatments are provided independently by the clinic or hospital, with payment made directly to the healthcare provider, hospital, or clinic.
IV vitamin therapy is not a necessary part of our detox and wellness programs, and its benefits depend on individual medical circumstances. If you are considering an infusion during a fasting or cleansing program, we recommend discussing your nutritional intake, medications and any relevant health conditions with the treating medical professional before proceeding.
Yes. Amity Wellness is located in Rawai, an area of southern Phuket with a good selection of gyms, fitness studios and training facilities, although you may find that our wellness program already provides plenty of opportunities to stay active.
Every Amity wellness program includes two scheduled wellness activities each day, with a varied weekly schedule featuring five morning yoga classes, one group fitness session and a guided viewpoint walk up to the spectacular Promthep Windmill Viewpoint, overlooking Phuket's beautiful southern coastline.
Our afternoon activities offer a complementary mix of activities, such as breathwork, meditation, educational wellness talks, practical demonstrations and other restorative experiences. Together, these activities provide a balanced combination of movement, learning, relaxation and personal wellbeing.
For guests who would like additional training, a Pilates reformer studio and a fully equipped gym are located less than 1 km from Amity Wellness, along with several local Muay Thai gyms offering traditional Thai boxing and fitness classes.
However, we do not recommend combining intensive exercise with our more restrictive fasting programs, particularly alongside colon cleansing and heat-based treatments such as our FIR Inflammation Pods. Reduced nutritional intake, fluid losses and strenuous activity can increase the risk of dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, fatigue and dizziness.
If maintaining a regular strength-training or fitness routine is important to you, our Raw Cleanse or Intermittent Fasting Programs generally offers greater nutritional flexibility than the Juice Cleanse or Full Fast. We encourage guests to adjust their exercise intensity to their nutritional intake, hydration and individual circumstances.
Our office team will be happy to help you explore nearby fitness facilities, although external gym memberships, classes and personal training sessions are arranged and paid for separately.
At Amity, the emphasis is on finding a healthy balance between movement, nourishment and recovery, rather than feeling you need to push yourself physically to get the most from your retreat.
Yes. Rawai and the surrounding area of southern Phuket offer an interesting selection of specialist wellness facilities, giving guests the opportunity to explore additional therapies and recovery experiences beyond those included in their Amity Wellness program.
Depending on local availability, these may include:
• Cryotherapy: Short sessions involving exposure to extremely cold temperatures, commonly offered for sports recovery and general wellbeing.
• Float Therapy: A deeply relaxing sensory experience in a specially designed flotation tank containing highly concentrated salt water, allowing you to float effortlessly with minimal external stimulation.
• Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (mHBOT): Sessions in a pressurised chamber, typically operating at lower pressures than medical hyperbaric oxygen treatment, offered by some wellness and recovery centres.
These services are popular amongst guests who enjoy exploring different approaches to relaxation, recovery and personal wellbeing.
Amity Wellness does not provide these specialist therapies, but our office team can help you enquire about local facilities and explore appointment options during your stay.
All sessions are provided independently by the external clinics, with their own pricing, availability and suitability requirements. Some therapies, particularly cryotherapy and hyperbaric oxygen sessions, may not be appropriate for everyone, so pre-screening with their qualified healthcare professional before booking is necessary.
Whether you prefer to immerse yourself entirely in the Amity experience or explore some of the additional wellness services Phuket has to offer, Rawai provides an excellent base for discovering a wider world of wellbeing.
Yes. Many Amity Wellness guests take advantage of their time in Phuket to arrange dental care, cosmetic dentistry and aesthetic treatments, with a wide selection of private dental clinics, aesthetic centres and specialist medical providers located in Rawai and the surrounding areas.
Phuket is a popular destination for international visitors seeking private dental and aesthetic services, and combining these appointments with a longer wellness retreat can be particularly convenient.
Depending on your interests, local clinics may offer routine dental examinations and cleaning, professional teeth whitening, and other cosmetic dental procedures, alongside aesthetic services such as facials, skin rejuvenation, laser treatments and non-surgical cosmetic procedures.
Amity Wellness does not provide dental, cosmetic or medical aesthetic treatment. Guests are free to choose their own preferred clinics and healthcare professionals, while our office team can assist with scheduling appointments, arranging transport and coordinating your Amity wellness program inclusions around your appointment times, wherever possible.
Our team is always happy to assist with arranging additional private therapies, medical appointments and specialist services in Phuket. However, we kindly ask that guests are physically present at Amity Wellness before we begin coordinating bookings on their behalf.
For additional therapies with our independent wellness practitioners, we need to coordinate both practitioner availability and the use of our dedicated therapy rooms, alongside the treatments and activities already scheduled for our resident guests.
The good news is that our independent practitioners generally reserve a generous selection of appointment options exclusively for Amity guests. With just 12 guest rooms at our retreat, arranging additional private sessions is usually straightforward, even when booked after arrival.
To request an additional therapy, simply complete a Therapy Request Slip and return it to our main office. Our team will check availability and help arrange a convenient appointment.
For external medical appointments, hospital health screenings, dental clinics, aesthetic treatments and other specialist services in Phuket, our office team can assist you with coordinating appointments and arranging transport once you have arrived. We will require a copy of your passport to assist with bookings through these external hospitals or clinics.
All appointments remain subject to the availability and booking requirements of the individual practitioner or healthcare provider.
