Koh Jum, Thailand
January 26-31 2028
Slow Down. Breathe. Be.
Join Julie on the magical island of Koh Jum for a boutique retreat designed to help you slow down, reconnect, and experience the beauty of Thailand at an unhurried pace.
This retreat is a gentle transition from the more immersive Awaken to Wellbeing forest retreat, with more freedom to explore the island, enjoy the beach, and shape your days around what feels good to you.
You'll have opportunities to practice yoga and meditation, experience local culture, swim in the ocean, explore the island, enjoy beautiful meals, and simply make space for rest.
With Julie's deep personal connection to Koh Jum after five years living in Thailand and her work supporting the local community following the tsunami, this retreat offers a more personal way to experience the island and its people.
The Retreat Experience
Yoga & Meditation
Begin the day with breathing, meditation, and a short yoga practice on the beachfront yoga platform, then return later in the day for an afternoon or evening practice and iRest® Yoga Nidra.
Island Life
Take your time exploring the island and enjoying its natural beauty. Swim in the ocean or saltwater pool, wander the beaches, go beachcombing, hop on a bicycle, or simply settle into a quiet afternoon by the water.
Nature & Adventure
Thailand offers an incredible backdrop for exploration. Venture beyond the retreat centre to experience lush jungle landscapes, beautiful beaches, local trails, and some of the natural wonders of the Krabi region.
Explore & Adventure
For those looking for a little more adventure, Koh Jum offers opportunities for kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, guided trekking, and excursions for snorkeling, diving, climbing, and exploring nearby islands.
Culture & Connection
Experience the local villages, island traditions, and culture of Koh Jum while enjoying the slower pace of life that makes this island so special.
Your Island Home
Set along the Andaman Sea with views toward Koh Phi Phi National Marine Park, Koh Jum Beach Villas offers a peaceful and intimate setting for this boutique retreat.
Koh Jum is a relatively untouched island known for its beautiful beaches, relaxed atmosphere, and natural beauty. The resort has also made sustainability and connection to the local community part of its approach, including composting, organic gardens, beach cleanups, recycling initiatives, and respect for local island traditions.
Accommodation offers a selection of comfortable private villas, giving you a beautiful place to retreat to at the end of each day.
The resort's beachfront setting means the ocean is never far away, whether you're heading out for a morning swim, enjoying the sunset, or simply listening to the waves.
Daily full breakfasts are included throughout your stay, with fresh food and plenty of time to linger over your morning meal.
Tea, coffee, water, and breakfast are included, while lunch and dinner can be enjoyed at the resort or explored through the island's local food offerings.
You'll also have 10% off food and beverages at the resort during your stay.
