Kapuhala Koh Samui: The Wellness Retreat You Didn’t Know You Needed

Perched high on the lush hillside of Koh Samui’s east coast, Kapuhala is a wellness resort that promises to take you back to nature without compromising comfort.

Eco-Conscious Luxury: Kapuhala’s Unique Glamping Experience

This isn’t your run-of-the-mill Thai island getaway. Instead, Kapuhala offers something refreshingly different – think stylish glamping, plant-based cuisine, and a focus on mind-body balance.

Wellness and Nature at Kapuhala: Tented Villas and Seaview Farmhouses

With just five Tented Villas and four Seaview Farmhouses, the boutique resort is intimate by design. We checked in for three nights choosing one of the tented villas – a beautifully crafted en suite space with a private terrace, perfect for watching the sunrise or enjoying breakfast as the forest hums around you. The modular design lets you open panels to blend seamlessly with the outdoors, offering an immersive, eco-conscious stay.

Mind-Body Balance: Yoga, Fitness, and Plant-Based Dining

For those looking to recharge, the resort delivers daily yoga, a 25-metre infinity pool with jaw-dropping ocean views, and a fitness studio to keep both body and mind in tune. The food is just as holistic, with an all-vegan menu designed to nourish as much as delight (including the delicious spaghetti bolognese and lasagne). The farm-to-table dishes here don’t just taste good – they’ll leave you feeling good too, and in our case, very full.

Kapuhala’s charm lies in its ethos of wellness beyond the physical. It’s a place for entrepreneurs, creatives, and forward thinkers to gather and exchange ideas, tapping into a global community of like-minded individuals. And if you’re curious about bio-hacking, circadian rhythm-based training, or how a plant-based diet can boost longevity, you’re in the right place.

Meet the Visionaries Behind Kapuhala: Crystal Lee and Stefano Passarello

Crystal Lee is the engaging managing director and plant-based chef who is the brains behind the concept, alongside her fitness-loving Iron Man competing husband Stefano Passarello. Together, the pair took on the challenge of creating a unique resort in a seemingly inhabitable terrain, managing to keep the essence of nature with smart design sensibilities, resulting in a remarkably well-executed project.

A Wellness Retreat for All: Couples, Entrepreneurs, and Creatives

You don’t need to be a Yoga convert (we certainly aren’t) to enjoy a stay at Kapuhala. During our short time, a variety of all-age (mainly) couples were hanging out and enjoying the experience. More than the amenities or philosophy, it’s the simplicity of life at Kapuhala that’s truly transformative. Whether it’s waking to the sound of birds or showering under the open sky, the resort invites you to slow down, reconnect with nature, and leave feeling like the best version of yourself.

But, if your idea of a life-changing experience includes yoga at dawn, a dip in the infinity pool, and the chance to share ideas with trailblazers from around the world, Kapuhala Koh Samui might just be the retreat you’ve been waiting for.
