Rooms

Kamalaya has 75 rooms set among granite boulders, streams and exotic gardens, including 24 hillside rooms, 26 suites and 25 villas. Some are located at the bottom of the steep hill, which means reaching the restaurant, wellness centre and activity areas can be a bit of a workout. Buggies are available on demand, but if you’d like to be closer to the action, be sure to consider the room type carefully – ask us for details. Mosquito repellent is supplied in all room types.
