Kamalaya Wellness Sanctuary & Holistic Spa

DELUXE

The Kamalaya Wellness Sanctuary & Holistic Spa, nestled on the "quiet side" of Koh Samui's southern coast at Laem Set Beach, about 30 minutes from Chaweng, is built around a natural rock cave that served as a meditation site for Buddhist monks for centuries, radiating a unique tranquility and spirituality. This exceptional atmosphere invites you to escape the everyday, recharge, and rediscover yourself. A stay at Kamalaya also offers the perfect opportunity for a beneficial digital detox. In ancient Sanskrit, Kamalaya means "Lotus (Kamal) Realm (alaya)", symbolizing the unfolding of the human spirit.

At Kamalaya, ancient Eastern healing traditions merge with modern Western science in an innovative wellness approach. Tailored programs support the body, mind, and soul on the journey to holistic health. A team of experienced naturopaths, Traditional Chinese Medicine doctors, yoga instructors, fitness trainers, massage therapists, meditation and life coaches, and other health experts ensures that each guest can achieve their personal wellness goals - for a life in balance and well-being.

Koh Samui, Thailand's second largest island, is located in the Gulf of Thailand and is renowned for its tropical nature and diverse activities. Dense palm groves, gentle hills, and waterfalls characterise the landscape. Diving, snorkelling, and hiking are particularly popular. The rainy season lasts from mid-October to mid-December. The area around Kamalaya is distinguished by gentle hills, tropical greenery, and a bay with a fine sandy beach - a perfect backdrop for relaxation and enjoyment of nature.

At Kamalaya, the cuisine transforms into a true delight that nourishes both body and mind. The menus blend Eastern and Western culinary traditions, offering a wide selection of fresh, healthy dishes with sophisticated touches. Whether vegetarian, vegan, seafood, poultry, or even alkaline detox meals, there is a perfect dish for everyone. Guests participating in detox or ideal weight programs enjoy specially tailored menus. All dishes are prepared with fresh organic ingredients, complemented by refreshing juices, signature tonics, and a variety of coffee and tea specialties. Indulge in a lavish breakfast buffet, à la carte lunch and dinner, as well as light snacks at the Amrita Café and the Alchemy Tea Lounge - a true feast for the senses and your health. Communication tables are available for personal exchanges. Lactose-free and gluten-free dishes are also available.

At the Wellness Sanctuary (ages 16 and up), guests can explore a comprehensive array of holistic health programs that blend Eastern and Western healing traditions. With over 70 different therapies, the programs focus on themes such as healthy living, detox, stress management, burnout prevention, fitness, healthy sleep, and rejuvenation. A combination of balanced nutrition, tailored exercise, and treatments from Traditional Chinese Medicine, naturopathy, and Ayurveda significantly enhances well-being.

The services include medical diagnostics (such as bio-impedance analysis and laboratory tests), health consultations, and individual discussions on lifestyle habits. These are complemented by treatments like acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, herbal medicine, Reiki, massages, and physiotherapy, as well as relaxing treatments such as steam baths, infrared saunas, and plunge pools.

The Longevity House offers modern therapies like ozone and oxygen treatments, IV therapies, and cancer screening. At the Cognitive House, the focus is on enhancing cognitive performance, mental health, and emotional balance, supported by neurofeedback, meditation, light therapy, and other tailored treatments. Some medical services are reimbursable due to the licensing as a multidisciplinary wellness clinic.

The diverse course programme includes Yoga for beginners and advanced practitioners, featuring Hatha, Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Yin, and therapeutic Yoga, Pranayama (breathing techniques), Meditation, Reformer Pilates, Tai Chi, Qi Gong, and much more. Approximately 5-6 group classes are offered daily (subject to availability).

The Hilltop Yoga Pavilion offers a stunning setting with panoramic sea views, surrounding islands, and picturesque sunsets. The open Prana Sala, nestled in tropical gardens, creates a serene atmosphere for holistic sessions in small groups. The Yantra Hall, surrounded by majestic granite rocks, invites with sea views and modern facilities for Yoga and retreats. The state-of-the-art Shakti Fitness Centre, located at the highest point of the facility, offers fitness with a breathtaking view, complemented by the Padma Studio for Pilates and more. Personal trainers and private Yoga sessions are available for a fee.

Two outdoor pools and a tranquil natural beach provide additional relaxation and activity. The 25-metre Lap Pool near the Shakti Fitness Centre impresses with panoramic views, fresh water, and fruit snacks. The Leisure Pool at the Amrita Café is harmoniously integrated into lotus ponds and impresses with artistic details such as Buddhist motifs and elephant sculptures. At the 250-metre-long beach, sun loungers, a hammock, and a swing invite you to linger. Guests can explore the lagoon with complimentary paddleboards and kayaks, though bathing shoes are recommended due to coral and shells. Tides vary by season, with particularly high water levels during the day in the winter months.
