Guru, Kankanok Wichiantanon, Published on 18/09/2020
» Built around a cave temple that once served as a meditative retreat for Buddhist monks, Kamalaya Koh Samui manages to top many other wellness retreats that I have been to. This is largely because its focus isn't only to provide you with a peaceful sanctuary that is an escape from the rest of the world but also to help you find a deeper understanding of yourself. The thoughtfully prepared food, great service and the company of the people there make Kamalaya overshadows a regular beach holiday to no end.

For that, there may be no place better than Sunplay Club Bangsaray.
