About Kamalaya Koh Samui, Wellness Sanctuary & Holistic Spa

Nestled on a hillside leading to a serene lagoon along the southeastern shores of Thailand's third-largest island, the Kamalaya Koh Samui, Wellness Sanctuary & Holistic Spa has created a secluded, spiritual haven that immerses guests in the beauty of its surroundings—ancient granite boulders, open sea views, natural streams, and lush vegetation.

Offering an unpretentious, communal vibe, the nine-acre property is dedicated to providing a holistic wellness experience through nutritious cuisine, individual and group wellness programs and fitness endeavors, and healing spa therapies inspired by both the East and West. Exotic amenities include a steam cavern, a Buddhist monk cave, and swimming pools surrounded by lotus ponds, overlooking the ocean. Of the 59 guest accommodations, three are private villas set on the beach, two of which have private pools.

A friend recommended I visit Kamalaya in Koh Samui because I have been through a series of debilitating, stressful operations, and needed to take time out, focus on my wellbeing and reconnect with myself.The retreat is on a beautiful piece of land, surrounded by coconut palms, leading a to white sandy beach. Views from the bedrooms, the yoga sala, the treatment rooms, the restaurants and the pools are breathtaking. The beauty of the natural setting makes you feel balanced again.I chose the Relax and Renew programme, but there are many to chose from. Friends I made during my holiday were on the detox programme and weight loss. My treatments were mainly nurturing types of treatments, and I was amazed at the staff's care and sensitivity. My body has been through a lot of trauma in the past 18 months, and they couldn't have been more tender, gentle or kind.All of the people at Kamalaya make you feel special, and this comes from the owners who are regularly in the resort and talk to all the guests, through to the massage therapists and waiters. Think of it not as a hotel, but a retreat for the body and mind.
