Kamalaya offers a synergistic wellness experience to help people reconnect to life’s potential and achieve wellbeing. The cuisine, the service style, the environment and even the architecture are designed to support and enhance the wellness therapies and services.

The resort was founded by John and Karina Stewart with the vision to bring together diverse traditions and cultures in a nurturing, healing environment from which people can explore and embrace life’s potential. Since opening in 2005, Kamalaya has been offering enriching holistic wellness programs which combine healing therapies from East and West, in a beautiful natural environment. With lush tropical vegetation, ancient boulders, cascading streams, 250 meters of idyllic private beach and a cave once used by Buddhist Monks as a place of meditative retreat, Kamalaya’s nature and setting is an integral part of each guest’s experience.
