Kamalaya

With lush tropical vegetation, ancient boulders, cascading streams, and 1.5 miles of idyllic private beach, Kamalaya’s natural setting is an integral part of each guest’s experience. Centered around a monk's cave that once served Buddhist monks as a place of meditation and spiritual retreat, Kamalaya's essence is expressed in its name, 'Lotus (kamal) Realm (alaya)', an ancient symbol for the growth and unfolding of the human spirit.

Integrating the beauty of the surrounding environment into its design, the Wellness Sanctuary features open-air treatment spaces as well as deluxe air-conditioned suites.

At Kamalaya, the cuisine is an integral component of the holistic wellness concept. The menus reflect Kamalaya’s philosophy of healthy living and the celebration of different cultures, featuring fresh and healthy dishes with enough sumptuous twist to satisfy the most discerning palates.
