It’s known as ‘The Spa with a View’, and it’s the only one that can honestly make that claim on Samui! Eranda Herbal Spa has been imaginatively laid-out on a beautiful hillside in the north of Chaweng, overlooking lush tropical gardens and the tops of coconut palms, through to the emerald Gulf of Siam beyond. And it’s this elevated position that immediately creates that ‘away from it all’ feeling. There are good reasons why the ancients sought peace and enlightenment on mountainsides and hilltops!

Service is a practised art-form at Eranda. As soon as you ascend the 30-or-so granite steps leading from the car park and arrive at the thatched reception, you’re welcomed by a smiling receptionist who offers you an ice-cold ginger and tamarind juice. She then guides you helpfully through the list of services on offer, providing samples of all the essential oils too.

And when it comes to choices of spa treatments, Eranda really is hard to beat. For example, there are nine different body-scrubs alone, including an excellent Ginger Cream Scrub which has proven anti-cellulite and firming qualities. And there’s a wide range of body-wraps too, with the Moroccan Red Clay & Roselle Wrap great for naturally exfoliating dead skin cells before nourishing the new ones.

But do try one of Eranda’s all-inclusive packages if you have the time, and if you think you deserve something special! The couples’ 4 ½ hour Eranda Experience (with its herbal steam, Jacuzzi, body-scrubs, body-wraps, massages, facials and foot massages) is a highly recommended package for honeymooners and lovers alike.



The eight private treatment suites (six have their own Jacuzzis and steam rooms) are something special, too; spa facilities just don’t come better than these – anywhere. And they are spread throughout the spa grounds on nine levels, which are named after the six levels of heaven (rather appropriately), the overall name of heaven, the Chedi, and God himself.

Whether you’ve opted for just a traditional Thai massage by one of Eranda’s ‘Wat Po’ trained masseuses (they have a resident massage teacher, too), their unique oil massage, which successfully blends Thai with occidental techniques in a most enjoyable way, or feel totally self-indulgent and choose to spoil yourself with one of the fabulous packages, you’ll be sure of having a great Samui spa experience!

Hot Stone Therapy Massage 90-120 minutes

Water-treated stones are placed in strategic sites on the body to promote relaxation and to help open up meridians or energy lines.
