About Mangosteen Ayurveda and Wellness Resort
Mangosteen Ayurveda & Wellness Resort is an adults-only Ayurveda retreat set on a peaceful hillside in southern Phuket, surrounded by tropical gardens and panoramic sea views. Overlooking four bays and nearby islands, the resort offers a quiet, restorative setting designed for focused wellbeing stays.
As Phuket’s first dedicated Ayurveda resort, Mangosteen is known for its personalised, doctor-led wellness programmes rooted in traditional Ayurvedic principles. Stays combine classical treatments, yoga, meditation, and supportive nutrition within a relaxed, small-scale environment. Rather than a conventional spa holiday, the focus here is on balance, routine, and gentle lifestyle reset.
While the atmosphere feels secluded, Mangosteen remains within easy reach of Nai Harn Beach and the surrounding Rawai area, making it well suited to guests seeking an Ayurveda retreat in Phuket without feeling completely remote.
Wellness Programmes
Hotel Facilities
Set within 25,000 square metres of tropical gardens, Mangosteen Ayurveda & Wellness Resort is designed to support rest and simplicity. At the centre of the resort is a large free-form saltwater pool, framed by waterfall gardens and complemented by a spa area with two steam saunas.
An open-air yoga sala hosts daily sessions, including Kundalini, Vinyasa, Yin, and Hatha yoga, alongside guided meditation. These practices are particularly supportive for guests following structured wellness programmes.
Outside of scheduled wellness activities, the resort offers a relaxed weekly programme that may include Thai cooking demonstrations, local market visits in Rawai, and gentle bodywork workshops. A complimentary daily shuttle service runs to nearby Nai Harn Beach, allowing guests to enjoy the coast alongside their retreat stay.
Wellness Facilities
The Ayurveda spa is the heart of Mangosteen’s wellness offering. As the only Ayurveda resort in Phuket with a resident Ayurvedic doctor, the spa provides structured, personalised programmes based on individual consultations and traditional diagnostic methods.
Treatments use natural, plant-based ingredients and focus on restoring balance through classical Ayurvedic therapies, bodywork, and daily rituals. Programmes may include Panchakarma-style cleansing, although these are approached in a measured, supportive way rather than as intensive or medicalised interventions.
The spa environment is calm and unhurried, encouraging guests to slow down and engage fully with the process. With experienced practitioners and a consistent daily rhythm, Mangosteen supports both first-time Ayurveda guests and those returning to deepen their practice.
Dining
Dining at Mangosteen supports the Ayurvedic approach to wellbeing, with menus designed to complement individual programmes and seasonal needs. Menus place emphasis on fresh, nourishing ingredients, with dishes adapted to Ayurvedic recommendations where appropriate.
Mangosteen Restaurant: Open-air restaurant with display kitchen serving a classic Thai menu and Mediterranean cuisine.
Mangosteen Wine Cellar: An underground cellar offering a considered selection of international wines.
Pool & Lounge Bar: A relaxed swim-up bar serving light meals and drinks throughout the day.
