    I have done a 10 days Juice Fast at Santosa, the experience was amazing. The place is super clean, beautiful and comfortable. Usually you don’t expect it’s more beautiful than the website pictures, but it happened to Santosa. I would say the program is very well designed and organized, you are kind of busy from early morning, but you still have lots of private moments. The highlights are the knowledge they spreaded at the morning meeting, and the supports from the staffs. When you do a fasting, your mood can be easily a bit up and down - supporting, someone listening to you is super important. They did so well on this part, you always feel that you were taken good care. Not only from the managers, also all the staffs are doing so to the guests, even the lady who took care of Colema room, her smile would comfort you all day long. The result from the fasting was tremendous, my skin became really glowing, lost 5kg (exactly the amount I want to get rid of), feeling much more energized and mental clear. The most beneficial part is I start to understand what’s happened to my routine life and what I can improve. This is so precious. I am home now and kick start a totally new life. I am confident that I can keep going well... however, detox once a year is my plan now. I met a guy staying for 21 days after his cancer treatments, he recovered so well from the raw fasting program. All these vivid examples told me that once you start to take care yourself, there’s always a chance. Santosa can be a wonderful choice if you suffer from any chronic diseases.

    Wow. The menu is full of mouth watering vegan dishes to choose from; half of which I've never heard of. I had the quinoa salad, which is flavorful without any spices. The chef is extremely friendly and enjoys his work. We had a lovely chat about his work and cooking philosophy. That gives this beautifully setup place a lovely personality all together, which you must experience. I'm going back to this place for sure before leaving the country. This is my third visit and I would classify this place as the best vegetarian restaurant on the island. I've tried the rest, don't waste your money

    Very good vegan cuisine here! I searched everywhere in Phuket for some upper scale vegan dining, but couldn’t find a good place. A local recommended this place and I’m glad we came. Very good service as well, bravo! The prices is a little high, but it’s nice to get away from stalls and malls and sit down for a real meal. When comparing to USA restaurants, I think the price is well worth it. The view is also very nice at sunset. Check this place out!

    It's an alfresco vegan restaurant with a good view. Beware of stairs though, not for the old and frail! Dishes were definitely very healthy and tasted very healthy too...if you know what I mean. Might offend certain sensibilities but definitely worth trying at least once. I didn't have the wines because I was driving but I assume they'd make everything taste better.

    Such a nice and cosy place 😇 I was doing a full fasting program and it was such an amazing experience. Mainly because of the people who work there - Sherryl, May, Stas and others, they became like a family for me. So grateful 🙏🏻 Big thank you to Em - the lady who does massage, she has a gift! The best massage ever! For those interesting in detox, yoga or raw vegan food, highly recommend 👍🏻

    By far the best vegan food I have tasted. The chef is amazing! I from Miami and I have lived in Dubai; I know my gourmet vegan foods. The food and intimate hospitality was amazing. The classes were also amazing and intimate. I am excited about returning in the future!

  • 5/5 Samantha K. 4 years ago on Google
    This place was incredible. We traveled to Phuket with a vegan friend and finding this place was like heaven. The menu options were so varied and everything was absolutely delicious. We were there after sunset and the frog chorus was pretty intense, so that's the only thing I would keep in mind.

  • 5/5 Fernando M. 4 years ago on Google
    Outstanding food in a beautiful setting, and excellent service. Vegan menu with plenty of options and a great assortment of juice mixes and smoothies. The vegan cheese are incredibly tasty.

  • 5/5 danielwright4 4 years ago on Google
    I thought this was an absolutely great restaurant. Firstly, the location at the top of the hill is fantastic. The view was spectacular. Also, all the staff were charming and friendly and the service was great. Then you could see the sheer joy on the face of the chef as she watched customer's faces lighting up as they saw the food, which was magnificently presented. Furthermore, the food was seriously delicious and innovative. I am an avid meat and fish eater but I left feeling 110% satisfied. Would recommend to anyone.

  • 5/5 MWOOD 1 year ago on Google
    Outstanding food. I've been vegan for 7 years now so I've eaten a lot of vegan food Haha The chef and kitchen staff here absolutely know what they are doing. Very diverse menu, clear descriptions of what each meal / juice / smoothie contains. All good is marked Raw or Cooked which is always helpful at a raw food restaurant. I ordered a main Raw Spaghetti Pomodoro, the serving size was so generous I couldn't believe it. Only 200THB too. Seriously delicious I wanted to lick my plate 😋 Fresh ingredients, very flavoursome and the presentation was on point too. The photo attached to this review is a screen shot from a video so doesn't do it justice. I am 100% coming back here and I00% recommend this Santosa, even non-vegans would love this place!

    I call it Instagram food. Though it looks really good, the food was cold and not tasty for me, small dishes and expensive. I left still hungry.

  • 5/5 Volker M. 1 year ago on Google
    I stayed at Santosa for 4 nights and it was a great experience. The management, staff and trainers are super friendly, welcoming and professional. The vegan food is the best I ever had, the hotel rooms are spacious, super clean with a fantastic views of the bay. If you want to escape from the busy city life, Santosa ist the perfect place to workout, relax, fast and feeling home away from home.

  • 5/5 Shane N. 1 year ago on Google
    Edit :: Santosa kindly reached out and offered a massage and transfer from my accommodation. The service was brilliant! . . 10th March we text Santosa through WhatsApp to let them know we would be arriving at 6pm on 11th March for ice bath and sauna on my birthday. We arrived at 5:55pm on March 11th but were told there was no ice left for the ice bath. They hadn’t purchased enough for the evening. We were told we needed to prebook - which we had done. I asked could they purchase more ice for the evening since we had gotten a taxi to the spa especially for our reservation - they said no.

    I stayed at Santosa for 3 day full detox fast, I went for 3 days as I’ve never done anything like this before. The whole experience from start to finish was just wonderful, it was surprisingly easy not to eat for 3 days. You have cleanse drinks, supplements, fresh coconut, ginger shot and an optional evening broth. A true retreat in a peaceful location. All of the team are super supportive and your days are pretty busy with lots of options of classes so there isn’t much time to think about food. Classes are completely optional tho so you can have plenty of free time if you want it. Rooms are modern, spacious and very comfortable. The colema was a new experience for me and everyone was really professional. Anyone contemplating going - I recommend just to book! Shout out to the team … Sherryl helped organise the trip for me and was nothing but helpful and pleasant the entire time. I’m a customer with 100 questions and nothing was too much hassle. Stas was my program guide and yoga teacher, super informative and friendly. It was my first ever yoga class and he made me feel comfortable. I had an intro meeting and then meeting at the end to go through my results. Very educational on how to continue a clean life after a detox and cleanse. Bhupin in the kitchen was great. I didn’t get to try much food apart from my break the fast meal, but the evening Broth was great and everything else I saw coming out of the kitchen with juices and raw meal plans looked great. Jeanly, May and Belle on reception were great. Always friendly and motivating you through the day. Last but not least my masseuse was amazing. I recommend the relax massage. Always a welcoming smile from everyone when you come into the resort! Would book again. Thanks Team.

    Great vegan choices! The risotto is a vegan symphony and makes me wonder over and over again how the chef magically manages it to taste this great!

    Although the restaurant ran out of coffee, the server made up for it by giving us a complimentary small bottle of homemade matcha green tea kombucha to go with our avocado key lime pie ... delicious!

    (Translated by Google) Just because it's a vegan place - I bet 4. And for the service. The guy was very polite and changed the purple sour cambuco to non-sour). The food is very mediocre, I took a bowl and rolls. Well .. somehow not at all. The view is beautiful, yes. (Original) Только потому что это веганское место — ставлю 4. И за обслуживание. Парень был очень вежливый и фиолетовую кислую камбучу поменял на не кислую). Еда очень посредственная, я брала боул и роллы. Ну.. как-то совсем не очень. Вид красивый, да.

    (Translated by Google) Santosa restaurant is located on a hill, the dining room has spectacular views of Karon. The staff is attentive and friendly, and the menu is very extensive and with a surprising enough variety to be a restaurant where all their dishes are vegan. My experience was very enriching and my palate enjoyed the different flavors of the chosen dishes. The plate with different types of cheese was spectacular, it would be difficult for me to decide which was my favorite. It was accompanied with sprouts of lentils, apples and pomegranate seeds. As for the main dishes, the same, a large quantity and a very enriching fusion of flavors. Without a doubt a restaurant in which one will enjoy as a child. I will repeat. (Original) El restaurante Santosa se encuentra en la loma de una montaña, el comedor tiene unas vistas espectaculares de Karon. El personal es atento y amable, y la carta es muy extensa y con una variedad bastante sorprendente para tratarse de un restaurante en el que todos sus platos son veganos. Mi experiencia fue muy enriquecedora y mi paladar disfruto los diferentes sabores de los platos escogidos. El plato con distintos tipos de queso estaba espectacular, me costaría decidir cual fue mi favorito. Venía acompañado con brotes de lentejas, manzanas y pepitas de granada. En cuantos a los platos principales lo mismo, gran cantidad y una fusión de sabores muy enriquecedora. Sin lugar a duda un restaurante en el que uno disfrutara como un niño. Repetiré.

  • 3/5 Sarah R. 4 years ago on Google
    The food is alright but nothing special. We were the only ones there and we struggled to get their attention and it’s a little more expensive that other places. Such a shame because it could be an amazing location.

  • 5/5 יואל �. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) amazing place. An activity-rich health center, people from all over the world come here, usually from Asian countries to practice yoga and cleaning. 200 baht with a taxi and you at sea (or 300 if you order from reception) have a sauna, spa center, workshop center, restaurant, rooms and juice bar. We only stayed at the restaurant. The food is completely vegan, the service is amazing, the place is brilliant and the food is delicious and fresh, amazing vegan cheeses and all tasteful, with a stunning view of the sea and the huge sculpture of Big Buddha on the mountain opposite. We will come back sometime for sure, even if we do not come to clean and yoga workshops we will come to eat in the future. (Original) מקום מדהים. מרכז בריאות עתיר פעילויות, מגיעים לכאן אנשים מכל העולם, לרוב ממדינות אסייה לתרגל יוגה וניקויים. 200 באהט עם מונית ואתם בים (או 300 אם אתם מזמינים מהקבלה) יש להם סאונה, מרכז ספא, מרכז סדנאות, מסעדה, חדרים ובר מיצים. אנחנו התארחנו רק במסעדה. האוכל טבעוני לחלוטין, השירות מדהים, המקום מבריק והאוכל טעים וטרי, גבינות טבעוניות מדהימות והכל בטוב טעם, עם נוף משגע לים ולפסל העצום של הביג בודה על ההר ממול. אנחנו נחזור מתישהו בוודאות, גם אם לא לבוא לניקוי וסדנאות יוגה נבוא לאכול בעתיד.

  • 1/5 Andrus Y. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It's time to debunk another myth about healthy eating. If we talk about this place as a restaurant, about the quality of service, about the beauty of the design of dishes, about the waiting time ... then this is not a restaurant level at all, but a Thai eatery with a "horse" price tag for vegetables rubbed in various shapes ... Well, the service and presentation, the place itself is very beautiful, sunsets, gazebos, a tree around ... sets you in a romantic mood. But food, the main thing for which people go to a restaurant, is to eat deliciously, try some new recipes and unexpected culinary delights. Everything here is not tasty, but we tried about 12 dishes, monotonous, with sour lemon sauces, which were poured into everything, even into shakes and smoothies. Gentlemen restaurateurs proper nutrition is not only beautifully cut vegetables. This is a concept, this is a beautiful presentation, these are delicious dishes with a twist ... I will not advise anyone, do not get fooled by advertising and beautiful photographs of dishes, in reality it sucks and a scam (((. Spaghetti carbonara - 220 baht, in fact zucchini chopped into strips for 20 baht / pc with sour sauce ... (Original) Пришла пора развенчать еще один миф о правильном питании. Если говорить об этом месте как о ресторане, о качестве обслуживания, о красоте оформления блюд, о времени ожидания.... то это совсем не ресторанный уровень, а тайская забегаловка с "конским " ценником на протертые на различной форме овощи... Ну ладно сервис и подача, место само очень красивое, закаты, беседки, дерево кругом... настраивает на романтичный лад. Но еда, главное за чем люди идут в ресторан - это вкусно поесть, попробовать какие-то новые рецепты и неожиданные кулинарные изыски. Здесь все не вкусно, а мы попробовали порядка 12 блюд, однообразно, с кислыми лимонным соусами, которые лили во все, даже в шейки и смузи . Господа рестораторы правильное питание - это не только красиво порезанные овощи. Это концепция, это красивая подача, это вкусные с изюминкой блюда.... Никому не посоветую, не ведитесь на рекламу и красивые фотографии блюд, в реальности это отстой и развод на бабки(((. Спагетти карбонара - 220 бат , по факту нашинкованный соломкой кабачок за 20 бат/шт с кислым соусом...

    Absolutely divine meal, view was very nice. Staff were friendly although a little occupied on phones and chatting. Best vegan cheese board I have ever had. If your up for spending a little more money the food is absolutely delicious. Very limited bar menu though, glasses of house wine or bottles of import wine, or non alcoholic beverages (fair enough as it’s a detox centre)
