About
Indriya Retreat Center is a meditation and Vipassana retreat on Koh Phangan, Thailand, in the Ao Sri Thanu area between Hin Kong and Sri Thanu. The centre shares authentic Buddhist meditation techniques preserved in Southeast Asian monastic traditions, offered in a peaceful tropical setting for modern practitioners.
Led by founder and lead teacher Anthony Markwell (a former Buddhist monk) with an experienced facilitation team, Indriya runs scheduled English and Russian language Vipassana and meditation retreats — from multi-day immersions to longer advanced formats — plus guest-led programs on the current calendar at indriyaretreat.com. The property includes a meditation hall for up to about 100 people with palm-grove views, two-bed eco-bungalows, and a dining hall serving balanced vegetarian meals twice daily.
Indriya also welcomes meditation masters, yoga teachers, and practice facilitators seeking a Koh Phangan venue to host in-person events. Guests book direct through booking@indriyaretreat.com / indriyaretreat.com. For North American and international wellness travellers comparing Phangan Vipassana and meditation retreats, Indriya offers structured program clarity and book-direct booking — MindReach takes no commission.
Indriya Retreat was built as a space to slow down, reconnect, and practice authentic meditation in the heart of Koh Phangan. Teachings draw on traditions preserved in Southeast Asian monasteries, guided by Anthony Markwell and guest teachers on the centre calendar.
