COMO Shambhala Estate is a residential health retreat with luxury villa-style accommodations near Ubud, Bali. This ‘Retreat for Change’ occupies an extraordinary 23-acre location on a jungle-covered riverbank known for The Source, a natural spring locally revered for its healing properties. As a place to relax and improve individual wellbeing, the Estate takes a personalised approach to health. The Estate’s Resident experts include a Yoga Master, Ayurvedic Doctor, Nutritionist and teachers in Tai’Chi, Qigong and other martial arts, all of whom work together to create purposeful healing programmes. State-of-the-art wellness facilities include a Vitality pool using water from The Source, private treatment areas beside the River Ayung, indoor and outdoor gyms, a climbing wall, yoga pavilion and Pilates studio.

This holistic, 360-degree approach is supported by sophisticated nutritional menus from COMO Shambhala Cuisine, as well as outdoor activities, the Estate providing specialist guides for mountain biking, hiking, climbing, whitewater rafting and local sightseeing. The dramatic accommodation in villas and suites is suited to couples, independent travellers, groups and families seeking a peaceful holiday focused on wellness. The design, by architect Cheong Yew-Kwan, incorporates much of the Indonesian style, with natural roofs and stone, while all suites and villas have private pools.
