CELEBRATING 7 YEARS OF MENDING HEARTS RETREATS
Koh Samui - Thailand May 2027
Our grief retreat in Thailand takes place at the five-star Santiburi Koh Samui, and this will be our second retreat here.
This will be our 15th Mending Hearts Retreat. Over the years we've hosted retreats in Spain, Greece, Portugal, Morocco and Thailand, and one thing I've learnt is that finding the right place matters.
I think we've found two places that have something really special our beautiful villa in Marrakech and, here in Thailand, the five-star Santiburi Koh Samui.
But this isn't simply a luxury holiday. You'll have qualified therapeutic support, daily yoga and the opportunity to learn meditation from local Thai Buddhist monks and discover practical ways to calm your nervous system. You'll be surrounded by others who are also navigating divorce, grief, loss or a major change in their lives, so you don't have to do any of this alone.
Your seven nights at Santiburi will be a five-star and all-inclusive retreat, with your own private suite or villa and private bathroom, meals, drinks allowance, private transfers, therapy, daily yoga. No sharing rooms and no hidden extras. We take care of the details so you can concentrate on yourself.
And our support doesn't suddenly end when you check out. Aftercare is part of Mending Hearts. Our guests stay connected, we arrange meet-ups, and you become part of a community of people who understand what you've been through. Many of our guests come back to us again, some several times.
And if you're travelling all the way to Thailand, you can make the experience even bigger.
Join us first for two nights in Bangkok, where we'll start the journey together before flying to Koh Samui. And if you're ready for a little more adventure after the retreat, you can continue with us into Vietnam as part of a Mending Hearts Escape.
Come for the retreat. Stay for the connection. And maybe leave with a very different idea of what your next chapter could look like.

After seven nights in paradise on Koh Samui, join me for five more nights exploring Vietnam, starting with three nights in beautiful Hoi An at the Little Riverside Hotel, followed by two nights in Ho Chi Minh City at the five-star Hôtel des Arts Saigon.
Think lantern-lit evenings, a boat ride along the river, fabulous Vietnamese food, bustling markets and a chance to have something tailor-made in Hoi An. We'll also enjoy a guided food tour in Ho Chi Minh City, with time to shop, explore or simply relax.
Your five-night experience includes luxury accommodation, meals, internal flights and private transfers. Our journey finishes in Ho Chi Minh City, where you can fly home or extend your stay.
