The bit that decides it

When you can travel, and whether that is the right season

Singapore’s two long school breaks fall at very different times of year. The June holidays are the dry season in Bali and one of Koh Samui’s good windows, and Kerala’s monsoon — the classical Ayurveda season — begins at the start of the month. The year-end break, from late November through December, is Bali’s wettest stretch and Samui’s wet season; it is the right time for Sri Lanka’s Ayurveda coast, which dries out in December, and for Beppu’s onsen in the cold.

Departing from

  • Singapore Changi
Worth knowing. Koh Samui runs on a different calendar from the rest of Thailand: its wet season is October to December, which is exactly the Singapore year-end school break. For a November or December retreat, look at Sri Lanka or Beppu instead.

Getting there

The shape of the journey from Singapore

  • Bali and Koh Samui

    Both direct. Bali has flights roughly every hour and is a short hop; Koh Samui is a direct flight to the island’s own airport.

  • Kerala and Sri Lanka

    Both direct — to Kochi for Kerala and to Colombo for Sri Lanka.

  • Rishikesh and Bhutan

    Rishikesh is a flight to Delhi and the domestic hop to Dehradun. Bhutan connects through Bangkok, Kolkata or Delhi onto a Bhutanese carrier to Paro.

  • Japan

    Direct to Fukuoka, two hours by train from Beppu, or to Tokyo with a domestic flight on. Okinawa connects through Tokyo or Taipei.

  • The European cure towns

    An overnight direct flight to a large European hub, then a train.

Routes describe the shape of the journey, not a timetable. Carriers and connections change every season, so we confirm the actual routing in writing with your quote.

Which wellness retreats are a direct flight from Singapore?
Bali, Koh Samui, Kerala (into Kochi) and Sri Lanka (into Colombo) are all direct. For Beppu, fly direct to Fukuoka and take the train for about two hours.
Is Bali or Koh Samui better for a wellness retreat in the June holidays?
Both are in season in June — Bali’s dry season runs from April to September, and June to August is one of Samui’s two good windows. The choice comes down to the programme and the house rather than the weather.
Where should I go for a retreat in the year-end school holidays?
Not Koh Samui, which is in its wet season from October to December, and not Bali, whose wettest stretch begins in December. Sri Lanka’s south-west coast is dry from December, Beppu’s onsen are at their best from late October to early December, and November is still a good month for Rishikesh and Bhutan.
