The Location of Kamalaya Wellness Sanctuary

For decades, Buddhist monks and those seeking calm, quiet reflection, have been drawn to the healing energy of Koh Samui: the island is interspersed with meditation caves, one of which lies at the very heart of Kamalaya. You are welcome to enter this sacred space for quiet reflection and meditation, as the land itself is a powerful part of the healing journey, giving you a direct experience of the healing power of nature. 

The retreat incorporates its surroundings into the delicate elegance of its architecture, where the buildings are nestled among ancient boulders, streams and tropical vegetation, with a private beach right at its doorstep, helping you to disconnect from the rapid flow of the daily hustle, and embrace the simplicity of being present in your life.

At Kamalaya, you will have the chance to meet like- minded people, and make friends with those who are seeking the same goals as you. One of the great advantages of staying at Kamalaya is the shared table at dinner, where the walls are really lowered, and single guests, who do not wish to dine alone, can come together to chat and get to know one another. This is a unique opportunity to open up about what you’re facing, or simply spend some reflective time with them. This way, you get to do something relaxing, while reinforcing your social bridges.
