Kamalaya resort in Koh Samui, Thailand, has added a sleep enhancement programme to its range of wellness courses.

The focus of the new programme is to re-establish healthy and restful sleep, while addressing sleep issues and imbalances - both during a guest's time at Kamalaya and also for the long term back home.

According to Kamalaya co-founder and Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor Karina Stewart, the sleep enhancement programme was created in response to a need from guests.

"A high proportion of our guests mention sleep as an issue and concern in their lives," she said. "Most are suffering from disruption to a healthy sleep cycle - whether it is poor quality sleep, insufficient sleep or an inability to fall asleep.

"This program is a vital addition to our portfolio as we know sufficient quality sleep is a key ingredient to optimal wellness and vitality."

Kamalaya is marketed as a wellness sanctuary and holistic spa and is located on the tropical beachfront southern coastline of Koh Samui.

Founded by John and Karina Stewart in 2005, the resort offers a holistic experience that integrates healing therapies from east and west.
