This first-of-its-kind travel destination will provide meaningful retreat experiences designed to aid healing using natural plant-based remedies to supercharge one's lifestyle.

T-Basa, a cannabis industry leader in Thailand, well-respected as a seasoned expert in cultivation using environmentally friendly practices to manufacture pharmaceutical-grade cannabis extracts in state-of-the-art labs, is joining forces with The Beach Samui to spearhead licensing and cultivation. Element Apothec is on the cutting edge of purpose-driven cannabis education and product development and will be delivering years of research-based, doctor-formulated, award-winning products, infused within the menu of well-being ritual programmes guests will experience. Ceremony, with its premium cannabis-related consumption products and mindfulness-oriented events, partners with The Beach Samui to further expand and enhance its luxury retreat programme.
The Herbalist at The Beach Samui is uniquely positioned to lead the way for plant-enhanced destination resorts with plans to expand throughout Thailand, Asia and worldwide under the SABAI SABAI Wellness Resorts umbrella brand. SABAI SABAI and The Beach Samui team are welcoming new investors and strategic partners and will be launching a digital membership platform later in 2023 that will allow guests and others wishing to invest in their well-being an opportunity to share in the future of wellness travel.
