Sai Daeng Spa is the beachfront wellness centre of Sai Daeng Resort, a private world-class retreat perched on a peninsula on the south-eastern cape of Koh Tao, overlooking Shark Island and the Gulf of Thailand. Set right by the sand, the spa makes the most of its location, letting guests listen to the waves roll in while they relax.
Treatments
The spa offers a full range of treatments in a choice of settings, from an open-air Thai massage by the beach to an aromatherapy oil massage in the comfort of a private or couples air-conditioned room. Beyond massage, the menu covers manicures and pedicures, facials, body scrubs, hot stone therapy and ear spa therapy, making it possible to build a half-day of pampering rather than a single treatment.
More than a spa
Sai Daeng is a full-service resort, so a spa visit pairs naturally with the rest of the property. There is a large infinity pool with a swim-up bar and daily happy hour, a beachfront restaurant with feet in the sand, and an air-conditioned gym with what the resort calls the best ocean view of any gym on the island. The resort also runs a regular programme of wellness activities including daily yoga, HIIT classes and ice baths, so visitors can combine a treatment with movement and recovery.
Setting
The resort occupies its own quiet peninsula with a private beach, giving the spa a secluded, unhurried feel that is hard to find in the busier bays of the island. For anyone staying on or visiting the south-east of Koh Tao, Sai Daeng Spa is a natural choice for a beachfront treatment away from the crowds.
