SINGING, SELF-CARE, SWIMMING AND FUN ON KOH SAMUI
April 2025
Our time on the island of Koh Samui turned out to be a week of sisterhood, nourishing ourselves with newly found space, movement and nutrition, being in awe of the beauty and nature around us, finding joy and meaning through our singing, stepping up and taking risks, and also letting our hair down to have some FUN.
We’ve arrived in paradise
Day 1: We are literally stunned by the beauty of this land, and our luxurious resort, which has sweeping sea and mountain views.
This view is from The Life Cafe where we have long dinners and brunch every day.
We were taken aback by the abundance of the gourmet, nutritious food on offer which seems to match the abundance of the jaw dropping views.
And, relax…
First things first, we made sure to put a lot of time built in for getting through jet lag and relaxing .
We headed to the resort’s incredible infinity pool and secret beach, happily getting to know each other and soaking up the gorgeous sunshine, which truly felt like liquid honey on our bodies.
Beach bonfire ceremony
We bonded together with a beachfront fire ceremony on night 2, where we socialised and then set some intentions.
Already gaining clarity from our morning journalling sessions and the newfound space we are finding away from our busy day-to-day lives, we wrote down and let go of what doesn’t serve us any longer, by burning it into the fire (and then howling towards the moon - like the wild goddesses we are!)
Daily singing classes, and world-class yoga on tap
We spent the week nourishing our bodies by taking Vikasa resort’s world renowned yoga classes (which are optional and also suited to all levels).
Our singing classes include both group and individual singing (which is also optional and available to all levels of singers).
We learn techniques to open and explore singing at each person’s level, and generally get some great practise time with this beautiful art form and creative outlet of expression.
Learning and singing together on day 2!
A trip to Lemai night markets
Our group trips out were possibly TOO much fun?
We came across a live band, and of course were right up there with them, singing, dancing and having a wild time.
Extra special fun was travelling home in open top pickup trucks (of course still singing).
How many singers can you fit in the back of a truck??
Group Excursions:
Group excursions:

Photo 2 - group hike and waterfall swim
Open mic
We finished the week with an open mic - some performed solo, some observed and it was a truly beautiful and supportive experience. We sang our group songs with solos and harmonies and showed off everything we learned in the week.
(We then went out again to celebrate!)
We can’t wait to go back!
