Kamalaya’s natural environment, an inspiring palate of sights, sounds, aromas and textures, empowers and amplifies the healing experience.
Kamalaya was carefully designed to embrace the diverse elements of the very special piece of land on which it rests. This considered approach went beyond maintaining the integrity of the land; Kamalaya was created so that the various elemental themes were available to nourish and inspire you. Within Kamalaya, there are different landscapes – sea, earth, streams, ponds, open skies, bouldered hilltops – so you can find your own place of comfort; a place that resonates with an energy that nurtures and reconnects you with nature through all of your senses.
"At first, it's almost unnerving - the absolute quiet of the place. Then as ears and senses adjust, you begin to hear birds and insects and lovelorn, melancholy bull frogs. You might hear laughter, but never a too-loud TV from the next room (the only televisions are in the library) or the latest Shakira number blasting from the swim-up bar (there isn't one) or children screeching or the constant zippp zipppp zipppppp of jet skis. If all you came for is the quiet, it would be enough.”

"Brilliant experience - a very natural, authentic ambience - a genuine retreat in harmony with the natural surroundings."
