What if your next DJ experience wasn't just another course, but a full week dedicated to music, creativity and yourself?
At Sunrise Studio in Koh Samui, Thailand, we have created a DJ retreat for people who want to learn, improve or take their DJ skills further — while enjoying the unique experience of living on a tropical island.
This is not a fixed DJ course where everyone follows the same program.
You bring your level, your goals and your musical identity. We build the week around you.
A DJ retreat in Thailand, designed around you
Whether you're touching a DJ controller for the first time or you've already been playing for years, your retreat is fully personalized.
Before the retreat, we take the time to understand your experience, your expectations and what you want to achieve.
You might want to:
- Learn the fundamentals of DJing
- Improve your beatmatching and transitions
- Build better DJ sets
- Develop your track selection and musical identity
- Learn more about phrasing, EQ and mixing techniques
- Work on your performance skills
- Understand how to prepare a professional set
- Explore different genres and styles
- Prepare for your first performance
- Take your existing skills to a more professional level
And if you have a very specific goal, that's exactly what we want to work on.
There is no one-size-fits-all program.
Do your DJ Retreat at a professional music studio in Thailand
Your DJ training takes place at Sunrise Studio, a professional residential recording studio in Koh Samui.
Rather than learning in a classroom environment, you'll spend your week surrounded by professional music equipment and immersed in a real creative environment.
You'll have more than 25 hours of music training during the week, together with access to the studio and its equipment.
The objective isn't simply to teach you how to use equipment.
It's to help you become more confident, more creative and more intentional as a DJ.
A creative environment for artists
Sunrise Studio has also welcomed artists such as Jarl Flamar, B Jones (Tomorrowland Mainstage) and Matteo (Chinese Man), who have used the studio and villa as a creative base in Koh Samui.
From the studio to the beach
One of the unique aspects of the retreat is what happens outside the studio.
Your days aren't spent sitting in a classroom from morning to night.
Each morning, you can choose between Yoga, Muay Thai, Hyrox (or what you want). You can then spend focused time working on your DJ skills before taking time to swim, explore Koh Samui, relax or simply let your mind breathe.
The environment is part of the experience.
Sometimes stepping away from the screen and the speakers is exactly what allows a new idea to appear.
A real DJ experience at the end of the week
Depending on your level and your goals, the retreat can also lead to a real performance.
DJ participants may have the opportunity to play a DJ set at a beach club in Koh Samui at the end of the retreat. It's completely optional.
The idea isn't to put you on stage before you're ready. It's to give you the opportunity to experience what you've been working towards in a real environment.
Everything is included
The idea is simple: once you arrive in Koh Samui, you shouldn't have to organize anything.
Your retreat includes:
- 7 nights accommodation
- More than 25 hours of personalized music training
- Access to the studio and equipment
- Three freshly prepared meals every day
- Airport transfer
- Scooter during your stay
- Yoga or Muay Thai or HYROX every morning
- Pool access
- A mid-week island excursion
- A foot massage
Vegetarian and vegan options are available.
You simply arrive, settle in and focus on music.
Coming to Thailand for Wonderfruit or Tomorrowland?
December 2026 is an exceptional time to combine a music festival trip with a creative retreat.
Wonderfruit takes place in Thailand from December 3–7, 2026, while the first full-scale Tomorrowland Thailand takes place at Wisdom Valley from December 11–13, 2026.
If you're already planning to come to Thailand for one of these events, why not extend your trip and spend a week developing your own skills?
Our December retreat weeks are:
November 29 – December 6, 2026
December 6 – December 13, 2026
December 13 – December 20, 2026
For example, you could experience Wonderfruit before heading to Koh Samui for your retreat, or finish your Thailand festival trip with a week dedicated to your own music.
Who is the retreat for?
You don't need to be a professional DJ.
The retreat is open to complete beginners, experienced DJs and everyone in between.
What matters most is that you have something you want to learn, improve or explore.
You can come alone, with a partner or as part of your wider Thailand trip.
A week to learn, create and reset
A DJ retreat in Koh Samui isn't about escaping from music.
It's about getting closer to it.
For one week, you can step away from your usual routine, focus on your skills, discover new ideas and immerse yourself in a creative environment — while still having time to enjoy the island.
