Located on the island’s quiet southern coast, Kamalaya feels like a (much-needed) escape from reality. Technically, this is a wellness sanctuary, and it’s a title they take seriously—there’s even is an ancient cave on property that was once used by Thai monks for meditation. Each guest starts their stay with a consultation that addresses their physical, mental, and spiritual well-being and the hotel’s team of massage therapists, acupuncturists, life coaches, yoga teachers, and holistic doctors take it from there. Treatments can be booked a la carte, but there are outstanding set programs designed to treat exhaustion and health concerns like improving fitness and getting better sleep. There are also detox and yoga retreats with top international teachers. A dozen room categories cater to most budgets and range from suites with balconies to villas with splendid outdoor bathrooms and private pools. While the hotel doesn’t specifically limit the guest list to those 18-years and older, this isn’t a place for families.
