Luxury Destination Spas

I attended three days of meetings for ILTM Spa in London in early October. The opening forum presented trends for luxury travel and spa experiences and talked about both wellness clinics and destination spas as well as luxury resorts with spectacular spa facilities.  We also discussed the role of traditional Chinese medicine alternative therapies and mental health now included in many wellness spas.  Spa travel is a growing trend and many Americans can benefit from the spas in Europe and Asia that are a little more established.

I will share some of the great destination spas I met with during the conference and maybe inspire you to try one of these wellness experiences.

Kamalaya –

At Kamalaya Koh Samui, Thailand`s award-winning Wellness Sanctuary and Holistic Spa resort, you can experience a life-enriching healthy holiday. Our wellness programs offer solutions for detox, yoga, stress and burnout, fitness and weight control. If you are looking for a more personalized wellness experience, our team of international naturopaths can work with you to create your own health program from our extensive range of holistic medicine, spa and healing therapies.

Centered around a monk’s cave that once served Buddhist monks as a place of meditation and spiritual retreat, Kamalaya’s essence is expressed in its name, ‘Lotus (kamal) Realm (alaya)’, an ancient symbol for the growth and unfolding of the human spirit.

Koh Samui has long been favored by Buddhist monks as a sanctuary for spiritual retreat. The island, they say, has a special energy that enriches and enlightens their spiritual path and helps them connect more profoundly with the universal energies.

Kamalaya’s facilities and accommodations encircle a centuries-old cave, once used by Buddhist monks as a place for meditation and spiritual retreat. The tradition of these monks continues at Kamalaya and adds an aura of spiritual and sacred energy to the physical beauty of the land.

The Monks’ Cave is always open, and guests are welcome to enter this sacred space for quiet contemplation and meditation. For Kamalaya hosts, the cave provides spiritual nourishment and a peaceful break to lighten and brighten the day..
