Centred around a monk's cave that once served Buddhist monks as a place of meditation and spiritual retreat, Kamalaya's essence is expressed in its name, 'Lotus (kamal) Realm (alaya)', an ancient symbol for the growth and unfolding of the human spirit.
Kamalaya is a haven; a place for us to slow down and feel safe enough to let go of old habits, drop our armour and begin to listen once again to our heart’s song, and to realise the depth of inspiration and wisdom all around.
Kamalaya’s natural environment, an inspiring palate of sights, sounds, aromas and textures, empowers and amplifies the healing experience. Kamalaya was carefully designed to embrace the diverse elements of the very special piece of land on which it rests. This considered approach went beyond maintaining the integrity of the land; Kamalaya was created so that the various elemental themes were available to nourish and inspire you. Within Kamalaya, there are different landscapes – sea, earth, streams, ponds, open skies, bouldered hilltops – so you can find your own place of comfort; a place that resonates with an energy that nurtures and reconnects you with nature through all of your senses.
Flowing down a tropical Koh Samui hillside and overlooking the pristine coastline and outlying islands, Kamalaya’s sixty accommodation options range from cosy Hillside Rooms to open Suites and spacious Villas. Asian textiles and carefully selected art pieces combine with modern amenities to create comfortable, serene and elegant interiors. Nature's restorative presence is felt through semi-open bathrooms, outdoor terraces and balconies, expansive windows and some captivating views.
Offering a unique concept in personal wellbeing and vibrant health, Kamalaya is offering holistic medicine and complementary therapies from Eastern and Western traditions and hosts group retreats and events. It is also a place where you can relax and simply enjoy nature, complemented with art, healthy cuisine, and community spirit.
