I stayed at Shanti Som for three nights on a yoga retreat, and I absolutely loved the experience. From the moment I arrived, I felt genuinely welcomed. Every member of staff was extremely friendly and seemed to make a real effort to ensure each guest had a wonderful stay. With only around 15 rooms, the resort keeps guest numbers low, which allows the staff to offer very personal attention. My room was nicely decorated and a good size, with a kettle and a small selection of teas. The bathroom was well equipped with all the toiletries you’d need, and the room also had a small private garden area, which was a lovely touch. The spa facilities were excellent. I used the sauna and steam bath several times and often had them to myself due to the limited number of guests. The treatment room where I had my massage was beautifully set up with dim lighting and candles, creating a peaceful atmosphere. The massage included in my package was fantastic, and if I return, I would definitely book more treatments. The outdoor pool was a good size and heated, making it very pleasant even in November. The gardens and grounds are beautifully maintained, with water features throughout that create a relaxing backdrop. The gym looked well equipped with the essentials, though I didn't use it during my stay. The food was great throughout my visit. Breakfast was a continental buffet with meats, cheeses, breads, dried fruits, granola, yogurts, and the option to order warm dishes like porridge and eggs. Lunch was buffet-style with soups, salads, poke bowls, and bread. Dinner was cooked to order from a small, rotating menu. Over my stay, I had a tagine, a curry, and a cod dish—all delicious. Desserts varied each night, including cakes, ice cream, and chia pudding. I liked the choice of dining spaces. There were individual tables, plus a large shared table for guests who preferred to eat together. I tend to keep to myself, but it was lovely to see others chatting and enjoying the communal option. There was also outdoor seating, which I imagine is wonderful in warmer months. The yoga classes and guided meditations were excellent. The instructors were very accommodating of different abilities, offering variations so beginners and more advanced practitioners could get the most out of each session. My three-night stay was perfect for what I wanted this time. If I return, I would probably stay for five nights to take fuller advantage of the treatments and facilities. Overall, it was a fantastic holiday, and I would definitely consider visiting again.
