Viatorem Retreats

Train well, travel together

Thailand Chalong paid

A Phuket retreat with a distinctly active pulse, Viatorem brings travel, fitness and time with fellow guests together under the guidance of founders Jess and Holly. Training is central to the experience, with sessions at Bang Tao Muay Thai & MMA, a facility whose classes range from general fitness to martial arts and welcome complete beginners as well as experienced athletes. The hosts draw on years of experience helping people pursue individual goals, so the focus is on finding a suitable challenge rather than arriving with a particular level of expertise. Meals are arranged in partnership with Pure Prep, with options spanning plant-based, meat-inclusive and several dietary needs. The Chalong base has practical comforts including air-conditioned rooms, Wi-Fi and a pool, while the wider program leans toward shared activity and social connection. It’s a good fit for travelers who want their Phuket break to include coached movement, not just downtime. Retreats are paid, with prices starting at USD 815.
