Welcome to iRetreat Koh Yao Noi

A memorable and profound experience  - I signed up for iRetreat’s first women meditation retreat in Pa Pae. The destination surrounded by beautiful forest was conducive for the retreat program which offers 4 times a day... read more meditation guided sessions, yoga and activities. The buffet meals was delicious and healthy. What I loved most was the stunning surrounding, lovely hilltop meditation hall, and sleeping in a luxurious spacious tent, very comfortable and connecting with nature. They kept our phone throughout the retreat, which I was grateful for at the end. My heart and soul got purified and I left feeling lighter and happier. Definitely recommend, meditation in a very comfortable and stunning surrounding.

Easily a 10+ out of 10!  - I can't say enough good things about this place! I spent 4 wonderful days gaining insight into meditation as well as Buddhism. The staff is top-notch and accommodating. The lodging... read more simple, yet comfortable. The food? Wow! And the young man that prepares it does not only provide a variety of tasteful meals, but they are visually pleasing as well! The grounds are beautiful and the crew does an excellent job of keeping them clean, despite being in the jungle! There are wonderful views all around and the space is serene and perfect if you are seeking solitude and a connection back to nature.
As for the program - Monk Tim is wise beyond his years and does an amazing job presenting concepts and theory in an easy to understand way. I can't say enough good things about him either! He eagerly listens to questions as well as to your ideas or understanding(s) and is always open to willing to assist in your understanding.
They are busy improving and expanding the retreat space. I suspect I will visit again, not just for the experience, but to see what they have done to the property.
Easily a 10+!!!
Thanks to everyone there that made my 4 days a lifetime memory!

Life-changing experience  - If you are serious about your retreat I would recommend going for at least a week. 🙂 The team is wonderful, the food is delicious and you’re accommodated in a... read more glamping style. You can also join optional program if you choose to as there’s monastery nearby. The schedule leaves plenty of time for reflection.

A lifetime experience!  - This is an experience that have helped my journey of spiritual search. I loved everything about it. The food (fine cuisine) the people (Thai people working only ♥️) meditation sessions... read more (with Monk and very friendly ) the schedule (time for meditation and time alone or with other guests) the frame (all amenities are brand new and soooo comfortable, the sound of the jungle and its view are unbeleivable !
Don’t hesitate and go for more than one day!

Best retreat facilities in Thailand  - It was a great four days. I applied for a four-day retreat at the institution because I wanted to learn about meditation in Thailand. As a result, I was able... read more to easily and happily practice meditation and have a satisfying experience. The daily meditation lessons by Monk were very easy to understand, and the hour of meditation that followed was very pleasant. This retreat facility provided the perfect environment to keep your mind at peace. The tent I was staying in was very pretty and the bed was comfortable. Each meal was a different variation and very delicious. And most of all, thank you to Joy for supporting me through all the experiences I had during my stay, and to Tim and New at Monk. I think it is because of their love and dedication that this retreat center has become such a wonderful place. This time it was a four-day experience, but I hope to return someday. This is the retreat center that seems like it. Now I would like to return to this facility with a group member that I organize.

Beautiful and calm experience at Iretreat  - I had an amazing experience at Iretreat and I would recommend anyone to go. I stayed at Iretreat for three nights and I learned more than I thought I would.... read more The monks are really nice and it is a great balance between formal and informal interaction. The food at the retreat is amazing, I had three incredible meals per day. The tent is very spacious and clean and the bathrooms are clean as well. You have enough free time to think about everything you are learning and there is good wifi to call with family and friends. Already in the first session I meditated for 40 minutes. I did not know I could do this but with the help of the monks meditation is made to be very easy going. The manager Joy is very kind and always makes sure you have everything you need. She even offered to sleep in the tent next to me in case I did not want to sleep alone. The environment that Iretreat is build in is beautiful and adds a lot of value to the experience. Overall, I would recommend Iretreat to anyone who is interested in learning more about meditation!

Profound experience, even one night is worth a try!  - I did a two-day, one-night meditation retreat that included four sessions of lectures and meditation practices. I am so pleased with this experience—from the amazing nature to the lovely space... read more they created at iRetreat, which immediately puts you in a relaxing mood before starting. The staff were friendly, and both breakfast and dinner were good and more than enough.
Now for the most important part—the meditation. I had four sessions with two monks who guided me step by step through visualization meditation. Each session included meditation practice, followed by discussion and a Q&A session, which was very important as the experience differs for each individual. With each session, I felt real progress. The last session was a profound experience, and afterward, I wished I could stay longer. If you can, I highly recommend staying for more than two days. Still, even one night is worth a try.

Brilliant Self Discovery Resort  - A brilliant meditation resort. It is brand new open in Nov 2024. I visited here for a 4 day retreat in Jan 2025 and loved iRetreat.

My day agenda... read more started with a meditation at 6am and ended with the meditation at 8:30pm.

You could also walk to a tiny town nearby, which takes about 30 to 40 minutes in each direction - which has a good café now restaurant as well. I did it once during my four days to have a change of mind.

Joy was an amazing host, I never heard anything but yes/sure from her. She was absolutely accommodating and this improved the whole experience.

For meditation I was guided by Monk Kevin & Monk New - both were absolutely brilliant and my day agenda was to see either one of them 4 times a day for 5 hours in total.

The meditation hall is very serene and holistic.

The tents are comfortable and the bathrooms are external they also have self paid wash and dry machines.

The meals are brilliant - freshly prepared and 3 full meals a day, actually a lot more than you could consume, they took all my eating preferences and other details so I could be catered well.

The only down side was that I was alone during my stay in the whole resort - which was brilliant as I was a beginner in meditation and got all the help, but the sleeping alone in a larger guest area was an experience as well.

iRetreat also arrange for me to be picked up from the airport and drop back from their own drivers had a fixed fee, which was again very comfortable and professional, and the drivers were in touch with me before I began my journey.

In the end, what really mattered was I could enjoy the entire experience and I couldn’t have asked for anything better or left as a very happy person.

The entire workforce is brilliant from housekeeping, to the landscape management, the Restaurant staff, everyone and every department.

Thank you to the entire iRetreat team.

Absolutely recommended ! 😇
