There are few places that offer such an extensive and immersive wellness experience, combining healthy, energy-giving food for every meal with a dynamic itinerary of activities and treatments created according to your needs.

Our COMO Shambhala Cuisine takes its unique inspiration from the living foods tradition. This maintains the nutritional integrity of the original foods’ essential enzymes, vitamins and minerals and allows you to benefit from the ‘life force’ of specific ingredients—many of them raw, brought from field to table with minimum delay.

Location

COMO Shambhala Estate location is unique, a spiritual enclave of jungle, river and sun-rich clearings just north of Ubud. Specialists in yoga and Pilates provide inspiration and nurture, working in harmony with guides for mountain biking, hiking, climbing, whitewater rafting and outdoor circuit training.

Accommodation

Unique among Bali wellness resorts, COMO Shambhala Estate feels truly residential, like a home away from home. All of the individual rooms and suites at our Ubud spa resort sit within one of our freestanding Residences. Every room is different, but has access to its Residence's pools, lounge areas and shaded pavilions.
