7 Day Sober Living Sanctuary on Koh Phangan, Thailand

This seven-day sober living retreat on the western coast of Koh Phangan, Thailand, offers a structured, supportive environment for people in recovery who want to deepen their healing journey in a tropical setting. Set on a sunset-facing ridge surrounded by jungle, the sanctuary blends the familiar framework of 12-step recovery with a broader holistic approach to wellbeing. The programme is designed and led by staff who are themselves in long-term recovery, which means the care feels grounded in lived experience rather than theory alone. Guests can expect a community where the language and culture of recovery are understood and honoured from the moment they arrive. Days here typically combine recovery-focused work with practices that nourish the body and quiet the mind, taking advantage of the natural beauty of the Gulf of Thailand. The western position on the island means evenings close out with ocean sunsets, a small but meaningful rhythm that many guests come to treasure during their week-long stay. Koh Phangan has long drawn travellers seeking transformation, and this retreat occupies a unique niche within that landscape. It is one of the few places in Thailand, and arguably anywhere, that integrates 12-step principles into a full holistic resort experience, making it especially suited to those who want to stay connected to their programme while also exploring meditation, wellness, and community living in a restorative environment. For anyone looking to step away from daily triggers and spend a focused week strengthening their foundation in sobriety, this Koh Phangan sanctuary offers both the structure and the warmth to make that time genuinely count.
