Kamalaya

Koh Samui

Kamalaya is a holistic spa and wellness sanctuary opening in November 2005 on the Thai island of Koh Samui, lauded by Condι Nast Traveler as one of the ten most beautiful islands in the world.

Food & Entertainment

Kamalaya's Soma Restaurant, Amrita Cafe, and Alchemy Bar offers tantalizing and nutritius cuisine based on the changing seasons.

Soma Restaurant derives its name from the "food of the gods" of the ancient Vedas and offers flavorful fusions of Oriental and Western cuisine. With magnificent sunset views over the sea and outlying islands, Soma accommodates a wide variety of dietary preferences, from tantalizing salads and raw food preparations to fresh seafood, organic poultry, and specially selected wines. A range of individually customized dishes will also be available at Soma for those undertaking Kamalaya's Detox and Rejuvenation Program.

Soma will also feature a "long table" where individual guests can unite as a group to sample a shifting assortment of Kamalaya's culinary delights.

Amrita Cafι lies at the edge of flowering lotus ponds that encompass a bathing and lap pool and refers to a divine substance described in Hindu mythology that confers immortality on all who taste it. Amrita Cafι serves fresh juices and salads as well as a variety of wok-prepared and vegetarian dishes.

The Alchemy Bar emerges from Kamalaya's Art & Antiques Gallery and nourishes body and soul with ambrosial appetizers, cocktails, wines, and elixirs based on Chinese, Indian, and Thai traditions of herbal medicine and internal alchemy. Foremost among the Alchemy Bar's signature alcoholic drinks are the "Moon Elixir" for women and "Sun Elixir" for men, served in goblets of colored glass. An extensive selection of herbal teas is also available as well as different grades of oolong, jasmine, green, and pu-ehr teas from China and Taiwan, all served in a traditional manner in aesthetic surroundings.

In addition to its restaurant and cafe, Kamalaya offers specially prepared hampers for picnics on uninhabited outlying islands and private luncheons in Kamalaya's Elixir Garden teeming with medicinal plants, passion fruit, and tamarind, mango, and papaya trees.
