Kamalaya Wellness Sanctuary & Holistic Spa in Detail

Your Wellness Resort

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 cave that served as a meditation retreat for Buddhist monks for centuries, radiating a unique tranquility and spirituality. This unique 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)" and symbolizes 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.

The Kamalaya Wellness Sanctuary & Holistic Spa, located on the tranquil south side of Koh Samui at Laem Set Beach, approximately 30 minutes from Chaweng, is built around a natural cave that once served as a meditation spot for Buddhist monks, radiating a special calm and spirituality. Designed like a lush garden, Kamalaya blends harmoniously into the tropical landscape - a place that invites you to pause and let go. In ancient Sanskrit, Kamalaya means "Lotus (Kamal) Realm (alaya)" and symbolizes the unfolding of the human spirit. The resort actively supports digital detox: in public areas, guests are encouraged to refrain from phone calls and messaging to preserve an atmosphere of mindfulness. At Kamalaya, ancient Eastern healing traditions and modern Western science unite in a holistic wellness concept. Individually tailored programs promote physical, mental, and spiritual balance.

Location & Surroundings

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 shape the landscape. Diving, snorkelling, and hiking are particularly popular. The area around Kamalaya features gentle hills, tropical greenery, and a bay with a fine sandy beach - a perfect backdrop for relaxation and enjoyment of nature.

Dining & Leisure

At Kamalaya, healthy eating becomes pure pleasure. The cuisine blends Eastern and Western influences to create fresh, balanced dishes with sophisticated touches. Whether vegetarian, vegan, seafood, or poultry, there is something for everyone. Guests participating in detox or weight management programs enjoy a special menu of healthy, alkaline dishes and can still choose from various options for each course. All dishes are prepared using fresh, mostly organic ingredients. Refreshing juices, signature tonics, and specialty coffees and teas await you. Indulge in a rich breakfast buffet, à la carte lunch and dinner, or light snacks at the Amrita Café and the Alchemy Tea Lounge - a feast for the senses and your health. Communication tables are available for personal exchanges.

Wellness & Spa

At the Wellness Sanctuary (ages 16 and up), guests can explore a comprehensive array of holistic health programmes that blend Eastern and Western healing traditions. With over 70 different therapies, the programmes focus on themes such as healthy lifestyle, 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.

Even if you book a fixed programme with pre-determined treatments, these can be individually adjusted or supplemented during consultations on-site, ensuring every guest finds their optimal, personalised wellness programme.

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.

Courses & Yoga

The diverse course program includes yoga for beginners and advanced practitioners, featuring Hatha, Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Yin, and therapeutic yoga, Pranayama (breathing techniques), meditation, Reformer Pilates (for a fee), Tai Chi, Qi Gong, and much more. Approximately 5-6 group classes are offered daily (depending on availability).

The Hilltop Yoga Pavilion offers a stunning setting with panoramic views of the sea, 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 Center, located at the highest point of the facility, provides 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.

Pool Area

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.

Free Time

Library with TV, art gallery, Kamalaya Boutique. Cooking classes, island, kayak, and boat excursions. Golf course about a 45-minute drive away.
