Kamalaya

B Corp
Contact us

Kamalaya offers guests a chance to relax and unwind with a choice of wellness options, which do not feel contrived or forced. Found in a peaceful part of southeast Koh Samui, the Kamalaya is a retreat hidden within a lush green hillside, dotted with stone pools and wooden pavilions.

The thatched roofed villas pepper the hillside and range from suites with balconies overlooking the ocean, some nestled in the rainforest and some on the beachfront. All have calm and unfussy interiors.

Why we like Kamalaya

Kamalaya has a relaxed feel, which means those travelling who don’t want to partake in a wellness programme are left free to read a book, enjoy an ad hoc spa treatment and indulge in some of the best food this region has to offer.
