KAMALAYA WELLNESS SANCTURY Koh Samui, Thailand Tucked away in a lush valley, overlooking the coast of southern Koh Samui lies the hypnotically-beautiful Kamalaya. The spiritual energy is so pure and intense, it’s no wonder that Buddhist monks came here to contemplate, and it’s around their cave of worship that the resort has been built. Everything is geared for total and complete transformation. It’s just recently been revamped, so the rooms are bright and airy, and the additions of a three-storey fitness emporium and a 25-metre pool means it is now is also the best looking, and best equipped spa in Thailand, if not Asia. The joy of staying in this most stellar of spas is that you will be nurtured and healed by some of Asia’s best healers. Many of the counsellors have been monks, (and you will also get the best overseas visiting experts), the near-vegan food is delectable, and your mouth will zing with the Asian fusion taste explosion. There is no calorie counting here, that’s not the Kamalaya way, you can have a little of what you fancy, and even have the odd glass of organic wine with dinner in the evening. Kamalaya is the perfect place for the stressed-out, adrenalin-depleted city goer, or for those who want to slow down their pace.
