 Although Ban Sabai Spa isn’t Samui’s only spa with a seaside location, it’s the only one that really encapsulates the island’s unspoilt, tropical beach environment.
This unique ‘health & wellness’ centre is found on the western end of Big Buddha Beach – one of Samui's most picturesque. And even from the road itself, it’s visually attractive, with its huge, ornately-carved entrance gate creating an impressive façade. But it’s once you enter the grounds themselves that the sheer beauty of the place becomes apparent.
From the moment you pass through the gateway, you feel like you’ve entered a secret garden. Aromatic tropical plants springing up from everywhere; carp-filled lily-ponds spanned by sandstone bridges; terra-cotta Buddha images placed here and there; traditional Thai-style salas and houses dotted around, and the ever-present sound of the surf – just metres away.
 And even as you’re welcomed, and seated with a cup of ginger tea looking through the extensive list of services, you become aware of the myriad of small touches that add to the magic of Ban Sabai Spa: the sounds of wind-chimes, barely audible, drifting through the air; jossticks and sweet-smelling oil burners exuding exotic, oriental aromas; and a wealth of antique art and artifacts that’s literally everywhere.
Just about every pampering or therapeutic service is available. From traditional Thai massages through to complete full-day packages with steam baths, Jacuzzis, facials, body-wraps and aromatherapy oil massages, it’s all here. And you get to choose where many of the services take place. There are private, open-air,  beachside salas for many of the massage and oil treatments; cool stone rooms for the body-wraps; and there are also 2 splendid Thai houses that can be secured for a half-day, a full-day or even overnight periods.
Each of these fabulous old homes comes complete with beds, bathroom, seaview balcony, and just about everything else you might need for a totally private day of decadence. Total indulgence!
