Kamalaya Wellness Sanctuary & Holistic Spa is a multi-award-winning retreat located on the island of Koh Samui in the Gulf of Thailand. Offering holistic health solutions to ease the challenges posed by day-to-day life, Kamalaya is a place where you can reconnect with your inner self to rejuvenate your mind, body, and spirit while harnessing the healing power of nature.
Kamalaya translates as ‘Lotus Realm’, an enduring symbol of the unfolding of the human spirit. Taking a unique approach to complete wellbeing and personal fulfilment, Kamalaya transcends the usual spa experience to offer opportunities for self-discovery and life enhancement through diverse traditions of healing and holistic lifestyle concepts.
Kamalaya presents 17 wellness programs across five categories ranging from Healthy Lifestyle, Detox & Reset, Stress & Burnout, and Cultivating Heart, Body & Spirit. The programs are available for 3, 5, 7, 14, and 21 days.

The Wellness Sanctuary was envisioned as an all-encompassing healing oasis and other wellness facilities extend to Kamalaya’s dedicated yoga pavilions, lap and leisure pools, Yantra Hall, Elixir Bar, and the state-of-the-art Shakti Fitness Centre.

To Stay
Located on a tropical hillside and overlooking the Gulf of Thailand with outlying islands, Kamalaya’s accommodation options vary from cosy Hillside Rooms to open Suites, spacious Villas, and Private Pool Villas.
Kamalaya incorporates the surrounding landscape into the simple elegance of its architecture and design. Buildings are nestled amidst ancient, granite boulders, streams, and tropical vegetation, with existing rocks and trees as defining elements for many of the structures.
Asian textiles and carefully selected art pieces, combined with modern amenities, create comfortable, serene, and elegant interiors for the guests to enjoy and unwind.
To Eat
At Kamalaya, the cuisine is an integral component of the holistic health concept. The menus reflect Kamalaya’s philosophy of healthy living and the celebration of different cultures, featuring fresh and healthy dishes with enough sumptuous twists to satisfy the most discerning palates.
Co-created by Karina Stewart, Kamalaya’s founder and a doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and the Kamalaya Chef, the cuisine is influenced by Karina’s wealth of knowledge in functional medicine and cellular detoxification. It is based on principles of Asian healing traditions, as well as the latest nutritional research.
The healthful, inspired cuisine is a fusion of Eastern and Western culinary traditions and menus include extensive vegetarian options as well as fresh seafood and poultry dishes. There are separate menus for those on Detox or Ideal Weight programs. Fresh juices, signature tonics, herbal teas and wines are also served.
