the resort is hoslotic. i tried embrace change consultations, natropathic consultation, body analysis, massages, lotus body scrub, yoga, meditation, tai chi, qi gong, lecture on crown chakra and stress managment with herbs. I loved all of them. the team are experts know what they are doing and talking about and give sincere advise. i chnage few sesions to be able to attend so of the lectures and the staff were very accomodating. there is a weekly schedule for activities that all resort guests can join. you can book a package too or design your own depending on your needs. since my days were full I didn't feel bored or the need to leave the resort for the 5 days stay. the satff were very friendly, caring and kind. I felt welcomed. everyone smiled and greeted me and made the effort to call me by my name, which made it very personal. I didn't feel anyone was materialistic waiting for a tip. even in my consultations, I didn't feel they were trying to sell me certain products they were genuine in their interaction. the food was impeccable. chef mohan was very meticulous. he came around the tables to make sure everything is to our liking. the breakfast buffet is huge, and u start your day with 4 shots of greens and tumeric. the menue for the dinner and lunch is big with variable options including vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options too. the room was spacious with a balcony. they provide everything in the room including toothbrush/paste, slippers, loafa, body lotion/ shower gel and shampoo, and a kettle for your every morning lemon drink and other types of teas too. the shower/bath area was on the balcony covered with wooden curtains and plants. I didn't feel it was private enough, so immediately the staff provided black curtains. they use natural mosquito repellent in the form of candles and incense. they gave me a water bottle that is exo friendly to minimise plastic use and a dairy to reflect and write my thoughts and feelings, which was very fitting for my package. the resort is on a hill that decsend down to a small beach. there is greens everywhere with ponds with fish too. the beach has small rocks and shells, so you can't walk barefoot, however, beach shoes and even kayak board are provided. I found some glass shreds, so be careful. there are many halls and rooms for each activity. The designs are so beautiful using graceful wood and even rocks can be part of the room. it can be hard hiking up and down the hill, but carts are easily available. the retreat atmosphere, food, activities and the amazing staff provided a soul soothing experience. evey single detail is take care of. everything is built and done with so much care and love. I highly recommend. thank you kamalaya team.

Stayed during Loy Krathong, such a beautiful time to be here. Everyone is incredibly kind and attentive; they genuinely care about you feeling relaxed the whole time. The massages and all the services are super professional. Truly an incredible experience.

Absolutely loved my stay in Kamalaya. The pictures and reviews don't do full justice to the beauty and tranquility of the place. The quality of the facilities and service is excellent. You really feel the care and support throughout your stay. Superb attention to the smallest of detail that make a big difference. High quality, clean linen, furniture, and bath products. The wellness centre is spotless with immensely kind and talented therapists- and the most amazing views into the sea and mountains! So is the yoga pavilion and Yantra Hall. It is almost dream like to finish a yoga or meditation session and walk over to see the ocean views. The room I stayed in was more spacious than it appeared in pictures and housekeeping checked in twice a day. The Hillside rooms are closer to the activity centres and dinner/breakfast restaurants so make it easier walk to places. Of course, staying closer to the beach too has its advantages but some pathways are quite steep and quite the trek. The food is top-notch with a menu that combines local flavours and western recipes all based on the best quality ingredients with the highest standards of cooking, presentation, and taste. You can feel the freshness in every meal! The service staff, manager, and head chef were extremely polite, friendly, and attentive and the whole place exudes peace, calm, restfulness, and generosity.

Came here without expectations as I was joining a friend on her detox journey. Kamalaya was built for any form of detox journey u are looking for. Mind and body. The workout / event schedule all make sense. Not frilly like most resorts. The massages & treatments are executed by properly trained professionals. There’s a digital detox required in common areas. The result an actually quiet resort. So quiet u can fully immerse in the beautiful nature it is built upon. The private beach is small but adequate for a calm evening stroll or just relax. Food is good makes me want to eat cleaner even back home. Staff is friendly and go above and beyond making you feel at home. Rooms are not 5 star resort level but clean and well maintained. Highly recommend this space for an any form of detox and rejuvenation you’re looking for.

Kamalaya was one of the best experiences we’ve ever had. Everything was exceptional – the service, food, and treatments – you truly feel like a special guest. I can’t recall anything quite like it anywhere else. Their philosophy and digital detox policy add so much to mental health, overall wellbeing, and even strengthen relationships when traveling as a couple. We stayed for 8 nights on the Relax and Rejuvenation program, and it was absolutely amazing. Highly recommended.
