History of Spa and Wellness
The word ‘spa’ is an abbreviation for the Latin phrase ‘Sanus Per Aquam’, which means ‘health through water’ and ‘wellness’ refers to our state of good health and combines the concepts of wellbeing and fitness together.
Why Detox
“Detoxification” refers to the body’s ability to neutralize and safely eliminate harmful chemicals within the body.
Setting Goals
Goal setting is a powerful process for thinking about your ideal future, and for motivating yourself to turn your vision of this future into reality.
Value of Yoga retreat
Physical asanas (yoga postures) establish greater strength, flexibility, and balance. Additional physiological benefits include improved circulation, deepened sleep and improved posture and reduction in structural pains.
Travel Restrictions
As Thailand moves into the post-pandemic phase, a world of wellness awaits at Kamalaya Koh Samui now that entry requirements to the Kingdom have been lifted.
Benefits of Ozone Therapy
Ozone therapy uses breathing as a conduit for the inhalation of oxygen. This therapy enables us to treat wounds and heal illnesses and it has been around for more than 150 years effectively delivering results.
A guided Meditation
The best way to lead a more productive life is to take regular breaks for your mind and body. These breaks enable you to reconnect to your essential self and recharge for ultimate physical and emotional strength.
What is a Colon Cleanse
Colon cleansing aids in the removal of plaque and waste matter that has accumulated over many years and has created blockages and sluggishness in the digestive system.
Detox Therapies
Detox therapies: Bio impedance analysis, colon hydrotherapy, far infrared sauna, chi nei tsang, lymphatic massage & oriental herbal body scrub and wrap
Zucchini Spaghetti
A nutrient dense pasta-free spaghetti (the zucchini is the ‘spaghetti’) with a pumpkin based sauce.
Health, Wellness & Yoga
You can dramatically improve your health and wellness through the practice of yoga.
Adrenal Stress Relief
Excessive stress is the main cause. Working too much, sleeping too little, the constant demands of a fast-paced, high-stress lifestyle, and even stressful life events can compromise the adrenals.
Depression
The World Health Organization estimates that about 121 million people worldwide have some form of depression.
Yoga Prana
Prana (Devanagari: pra-Na) is a Sanskrit word meaning ‘breath’ and is understood as the vital, life-sustaining force of living beings and the vital energy in all natural processes of the universe.
Hatha Yoga Pradipika
Hatha Yoga is essentially a manual for scientifically taking one’s body through stages of control to a point at which one-pointed focus on the unmanifested brahman is possible.
International Guests Return
After a long pause on inbound international travel, fully vaccinated travellers can fly directly to Koh Samui upon meeting health and safety requirements.
5 Reasons Why You Need a Wellness Retreat
Wellness is often mistaken for health, and while both go hand in hand, they are not the same. Just like how our personal and professional lives are interconnected, so are wellness and health; one affects the other.
Pre-Arrival Functional Testing
In partnership with Paar, a London-based holistic vitality and longevity company, Kamalaya welcomes guests to explore their path of wellness with a clear sense of purpose by undergoing bespoke screening prior to arrival in Thailand.
IV Therapy
When there’s a synergy between scientific and holistic approaches to wellbeing, the benefits are truly transformative. They can be immediate too, such as with IV or intravenous therapy.
Detox Experiences at Kamalaya
Detox is a good idea. If you’re new to the concept it’s best to take things slowly.
Pumpkin Seed Milk
A super healthy lactose-free alternative to dairy milk, pumpkin seed milk helps to reduce cholesterol and boost immunity.
Sondra Ray
Sondra Ray is known all over the world as a foremost spiritual leader and teacher. Having written 30 books about rebirthing, relationships, ideal birth, healing and holiness, and the many mental and spiritual imperatives in life, Sondra’s lectures are in high demand wherever she goes.
Eating Mindfully
Our eating habits and preferences have a major impact on our physical health and appearance.
What is Stress
The signs of adrenal burnout are often hard to diagnose correctly, since they seem like part of everyday life. But if you suffer from an afternoon energy crash that is followed by a boost of energy late in the evening, you should take a closer look.
Jamu Turmeric Elixir
Jamu’s vivid colour is curcumin, the powerful anti-inflammatory component in turmeric, which is valued by many as a pain reliever and liver tonic.
Papaya Bee Smoothie
Blend the goat yoghurt, papaya and honey with a few ice cubes, until smooth and creamy. Serve in a tall glass, sprinkling the bee pollen on top. Stir the bee pollen through when you’re ready to drink.
How to get to Thailand
Thailand welcomes back international travellers and begins to reopen to the rest of the world, Koh Samui celebrates being voted as one of the Top 25 Islands Around the World by readers of influential Travel + Leisure magazine.
