Serenity reigns supreme at Kamalaya, a uniquely indulgent detox & wellness resort.

Not many hotels come with their own ancient meditation cave, but that’s just one of the many USPs that Kamalaya lays claim to. Created specifically as a space for rejuvenation, healing, and self-improvement, this beautiful property is set on the Southeast of Koh Samui, where stunning thatch-roofed villas immediately bring a sense of tranquillity and create a chasm between perhaps the full-moon partying scenes of its neighbouring islands.

Accommodation

The accommodation is a purposeful minimalist Asian luxury and blends into the peaceful surroundings beautifully, with villas scattered alongside the native waterfalls and lotus ponds. There are a whole host of room categories from hillside suites, to jungle villas, and giant beachfront villas complete with infinity pools.

Food

Two al-fresco dining options are offered to guests, with an approach to dining that kicks fad dieting into touch, and instead favours nourishment, of both the body and mind. Nutrient-rich soups, smoothies, juices, and poached eggs are your breakfast staple, with gorgeously flaky fresh fish and pak choi on the menu for dinner.

Kamalaya also offers a range of cooking courses, where guests can learn how to balance delicate Thai flavours in a massaman curry, or Thai green coconut soup.
