There has never been a more important time to invest in health and wellbeing, and at RAKxa Wellness & Medical Retreat, wellness is a natural way of life. Asia’s first fully integrated wellness and medical retreat is located in Bangkok’s ‘green lung’ of Bang Kachao, only an hour from the city’s airports, yet its own little island of verdant calm where profound renewal of body and mind awaits.

The Setting

Ensconced in a bend of Bangkok’s Chao Phraya River, Bang Kachao is a protected sanctuary of green and tranquillity, where traditional village rhythms reign. Blending into the pristine surroundings, RAKxa features naturally Zen architecture that floats on water. Guests are accommodated in spacious garden or pool villas, brought to you by the people behind Anantara Hotels, Resorts & Spas, each with a garden sanctuary, while the residence – ideal for those seeking complete privacy – is equipped with its own treatment room and gym.

Retreats

At RAKxa, each wellness journey is unique, and begins with both medical and holistic consultations. Utilising some of the world’s most advanced technologies, guests can undergo DNA, allergen and heavy metal testing by Bumrungrad International Hospital’s VitalLife, and with their advisors draw up highly specific diet, detox and exercise regimens that maximise transformation.

Each retreat is themed around a specific concern, whether immunity, weight management, rehabilitation, relaxation or beauty, with a recommended stay of five to 10 nights. Days are tranquil yet results driven, with a personalised schedule for each guest of medical, holistic and aesthetic treatments, physiotherapy and personal training, all-inclusive healthy wellness cuisine and relaxation by the river.

Signature Treatments

RAKxa uniquely draws on time-tested holistic healing and combines it with the latest medical technology. Treatments include traditional Thai and Chinese, Ayurveda and energy healing, as well as anti-ageing sessions in a hyperbaric chamber and immediate energising and detoxing with IV infusions. Exclusive to RAKxa, physicians are on hand to prescribe health supplements, FDA-approved weight loss medication, and the latest aesthetic treatments including Botox, fillers and lasers. Guests return home rested, renewed from the inside out, and looking and feeling younger and better.

Wellness Facilities

RAXxa features some of the most extensive wellness facilities in the region, with a dedicated hydrotherapy suite, physiotherapy gym, yoga and Pilates studios and an outdoor pool for aquatherapy. As part of the all-inclusive wellness journey, fresh, organic, seasonal cuisine is served at all-day Unam, where the focus is on anti-inflammatories and a balanced gut microbiome, and produce is sourced daily from the farm.

A Day in the Life of RAKxa

While retreats of five to 10 days are recommended for optimal results, visitors can also escape to Bang Kachao for day healing, or choose to spend one night exploring the resort’s wellness facilities. Visits begin with a consultation, so guests can envision their journey to wellness before enjoying an introduction to treatments and healthy cuisine.
