About the Stay
What is the ideal length of stay?+
There is no minimum stay. Guests come for three days or stay for three months — most come for a week. The ideal for real, lasting transformation is 14 days: long enough to find your rhythm, discover the classes you love, and let the change actually land. Short stays are packed and energising. Longer stays let rest and training coexist without pressure. However long you have, you will leave having gained something real.
What is included in the all-inclusive rate?+
Everything. Accommodation, all meals three times daily, unlimited juices and elixirs, full access to every class on the schedule, three massages per 7-night stay, two private Muay Thai sessions per week, all recovery facilities (sauna, ice bath, red light therapy, magnesium float, compression therapy, saltwater pool), all beach excursions and the Sunday boat trip to Ko Hae island (weather dependent), and daily laundry. The second guest sharing a room pays 50% of the first guest rate.
How do I book?+
Book directly through the Phuket Cleanse booking page (Cloudbeds) for live rates and availability. Or contact Stanton directly via WhatsApp — he answers personally and picks up his phone. Flexible. Book early or last minute — we are always here to serve.
Is alcohol or coffee available?+
Phuket Cleanse is alcohol-free — but coffee is available. Most guests are also surprised by how much they enjoy the elixirs, fresh juices, and protein shakes. The sleep quality and energy levels that come without alcohol are consistently cited as one of the biggest surprises of a stay.
What is the booking lead time?+
Flexible. Book early or last minute — we are always here to serve. Contact Stanton directly for current availability.
Fitness & Classes
Do I need to be fit to come to Phuket Cleanse?+
No. Phuket Cleanse welcomes guests at every fitness level including complete beginners. Nothing is mandatory. You choose every class you attend and every trainer adjusts for your level. Many guests arrive having not exercised in years and leave having discovered a love of movement they never had before.
How many classes are offered each week?+
Every week there is a generous variety of classes spanning fitness, Muay Thai, yoga, breathwork, meditation, longevity education, cooking, consciousness work, and excursions — enough to fill your days as fully or as gently as you choose. The schedule shifts and evolves week to week, so the best way to get a feel for what your stay will look like is to check the schedule for the week you are coming.
What types of yoga are offered?+
We offer the foundational classics — Vinyasa Flow, Restorative Yin, and Aerial Yoga — alongside a number of signature classes you won't find anywhere else. Tantra Energy Activation is our most distinctive: a fusion of Kundalini and breathwork woven into flowing yoga postures, designed to stimulate the body's electrical current and move dense energy through the system as you move. It's a buildable two-part series that works through neurogenic tremors (TRE) combined with yoga to reactivate an energetic capacity that ancient yogic traditions understood and modern practice has largely lost. Yoga Sticks and Wheels uses hand-painted totem sticks and yoga wheels as props to deepen your stretch, improve flexibility, and access postures you may normally find difficult. Yoga Strength with Weights is taught by a teacher who is also a competitive bodybuilder — strength and yoga intelligently combined. Yoga Cardio Strength fuses three disciplines into one high-energy session. We also practise Yoga Nidra, the ancient yogic sleep meditation, reinvigorated as a genuine tool for calming and opening the mind. The goal is simple: exposure to both the classical lineages and genuinely new forms — including ancient meditation practices like Quantum Jumping that most yoga programmes have never encountered.
What is included in the Muay Thai?+
Daily group Muay Thai classes are included, plus one complimentary private 1:1 session per week. Additional private sessions are available at 1,500 THB per session. Our trainers Mang and Pom have 20 years of professional fighting experience and teach all levels from complete beginners.
What is Boundless?+
Boundless is Phuket Cleanse's flagship regenerative fitness class — HIIT in the Rawai hills with kettlebells, designed around one core principle: VO2 max is the leading measurable indicator of biological age, and raising it is one of the most reliable ways to reverse it. That is why we call Boundless regenerative fitness — it follows hard science to age you backwards, measurably. What makes it different from any HIIT class you've done before is that you learn how to breathe during it. Specific breathwork protocols keep the class from becoming a stressor to the body — instead they improve your endurance and support hormonal balance, so you can push hard without the cortisol cost. You leave knowing exactly how to run this practice at home. That is the point. You take the full skillset with you as a life practice — not just a class you did on holiday. It is the first class we have seen designed explicitly to reverse biological age, and to teach you how to keep doing it long after you leave.
Is the programme suitable for guests over 50?+
Yes. The programme is specifically designed to scale to every age and fitness level. Many of the most enthusiastic regulars are in their 50s, 60s, and 70s. Trainers modify all classes for older guests. The longevity and Age Backwards programmes are particularly popular with guests focused on healthy aging and biological age improvement.
Food & Nutrition
What is the food like?+
Gourmet biohacking — and the best description of what that means is: a brand-new cuisine invented every lunch and every dinner, by a nutritionist and a chef, that tastes extraordinary and quietly makes you healthier at the same time. No seed oils, no soy, organic, anti-inflammatory, high-protein, superfood-rich. Three meals a day plus unlimited cold-pressed juices, healing elixirs, and shakes — all included, every day. What makes the food genuinely unusual is the culinary architecture behind it. Melanie researches the world's great cuisines — Mexican, Italian, Thai, Peranakan, Mediterranean, Indian, American comfort food, and the ancient temple-cooking traditions the world is in danger of forgetting — and rebuilds them from the inside as wellness food, without losing what made them wonderful. You might sit down to a spirulina lasagne with cashew cheese, or a fermented lentil tortilla with zesty salsa, or a fragrant Thai Buddha bowl — and every one of them is built to heal. Guests who expected rabbit food consistently say the kitchen is the biggest surprise of their stay. Every recipe is in the Phuket Cleanse app — written, filmed, or both — so the whole adventure comes home with you.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?+
Yes — all of them. The meal service is a generous buffet, but it is also completely customisable around your needs. The guest experience app has a dedicated section where you can list dietary restrictions, food allergies, food aversions, and any specific preferences about how you want your food prepared. Every member of the kitchen team has access to your profile, so your requirements are known across the whole team — not just passed to one person. You can communicate with the kitchen as much as you like, add notes as you go, and update your preferences at any time during your stay. Vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, ketogenic, gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, custom elimination protocols — all accommodated without compromise.
Can I do a juice cleanse or detox?+
Yes. Multiple cleanse protocols are available including juice fast, broth fast, sardine fast, fast-mimicking diet, and one meal a day. The signature push/catch detox system uses moringa and bitter melon to activate detoxification pathways and spirulina and chlorella to bind toxins for elimination.
Consciousness & Superhuman
What is Superhuman?+
Superhuman is Phuket Cleanse's consciousness and human potential programme. It combines breathwork, meditation, group intention, guided visualisation, intuition practices, and emotional release to help guests explore higher states of awareness and expand what they believe is possible. The programme is substance-free and draws on modern breathwork science, nervous system research, and group coherence studies. No previous experience is needed.
What is Shamanic Breathwork?+
Shamanic Breathwork is a guided breathwork journey designed to help guests access non-ordinary states of awareness through breath alone — without any substances. Many guests describe the experience as visionary, deeply emotional, or profoundly clarifying. Sessions are led by professional boxer and breathwork facilitator Adam Bell, accompanied by curated shamanic music.
What is Soul Speak?+
Soul Speak is a guided consciousness meditation practice that helps guests connect at a soul level — with loved ones living or who have passed, with their own higher self, or with intentions for relationships they want to deepen. Many guests describe it as the most quietly profound experience of their stay. No previous meditation experience is needed.
What is Quantum Jumping?+
Quantum Jumping at Phuket Cleanse is a guided visualisation and manifestation practice — learning to hold focused intention for the world you want to create, while your body walks some of the most beautiful beaches in Phuket. Guests describe it as the most practical and transferable skill they take home. It can be practised anywhere, for life.
Do I have to do the woo classes?+
Absolutely not. Nothing at Phuket Cleanse is mandatory. Guests who have no interest in consciousness work can have a completely extraordinary experience doing only fitness, yoga, Muay Thai, recovery, and food. Many guests who arrived sceptical find themselves curious about the breathwork or meditation classes by day three — but there is zero pressure. You build your own programme entirely.
Longevity & Age Backwards
What is the Age Backwards programme?+
Age Backwards is a five-layer longevity system combining education, regenerative fitness, mind-body practices, nutrition, and clinical referral. It includes classes on biological age testing, VO2 max training, gut health, sleep science, fasting protocols, and peptide and NAD+ education. Advanced clinical treatments are referred to cooperating medical facilities in Phuket. Many guests describe significant improvements in energy, fitness, and how they feel in their body.
What biological age tests are recommended?+
Phuket Cleanse recommends TruAge, TruDiagnostics, and TruHealth — epigenetic biological age testing that measures actual cellular age through DNA methylation analysis. These tests can establish a baseline before the programme and allow guests to track real changes over time.
Solo Travel
Is Phuket Cleanse good for solo travellers?+
It is one of the best places in the world for solo travel. About 80% of guests arrive alone. The communal dining, shared classes, beach excursions, and evening sessions create an organic community — most solo guests find their people within 24–48 hours. Many form friendships that outlast the retreat by years. The long table at dinner is where it starts.
Is it safe for solo female travellers?+
Yes. Rawai is safe, Phuket Cleanse is an enclosed community environment, and the majority of solo guests are women. The owner-led nature of the retreat means Melanie and Stanton are present and genuinely invested in every guest's experience and safety.
Location & Getting Here
Where exactly is Phuket Cleanse?+
49/105 Moo 1, Soi Nanachat, Rawai, Phuket 83130, Thailand. Rawai is in the quiet southern tip of Phuket — far from the tourist chaos of Patong. About 50 minutes from Phuket International Airport. Airport transfer available at 1,000 THB (~$28 USD) one way, bookable through the app.
What is Rawai like?+
Rawai is considered the world's first wellness town — home to world-class Muay Thai gyms, yoga studios, healthy restaurants, and wellness shops. Five beautiful beaches are within minutes: Naiharn, Ao Sane, Yanui, Friendship Beach, and Kata Noi. The whole town beats to a wellness rhythm that amplifies the retreat experience.
What is the weather like in Phuket?+
Tropical year-round — warm and humid. Dry season runs roughly November to April with clear skies and calm seas. Wet season May to October brings afternoon showers. Both seasons work well for Phuket Cleanse — the indoor schedule is as full as the outdoor programme and beach excursions adapt to conditions.
