Overview

The flagship member of the renowned COMO hotel collection, the Shambhala Estate has wowed visitors since it first opened in 2005, starring in countless write-ups of the world’s best wellness retreats. Tucked away in a 22-acre forest above the Ayung River, it’s a healing sanctuary where birdsong, rustling leaves and flowing water provide the soundtrack.

Here, wellness is both personal and luxurious. Whether you opt for a multi-night package or a single evening treatment, you’ll be guided by expert therapists skilled in Ayurveda, naturopathy, hydrotherapy and more. Best of all, they’re carried out in the likes of tranquil pavilions, forest-fringed pools and spring-fed vitality water.

Movement and mindfulness are both encouraged. Think yoga or Pilates as the sun comes up, circuit training by the pool, and jungle gym sessions, followed by healthy dishes from the estate’s kitchen. As for the villas and suites, they fall in the low-key elegance category, with stone and wood accents and alang-alang thatched roofs.

Children are welcome to stay at the resort, but the nature of the place is more suited to adults. Babysitting services are available upon request.

When to go

Bali has an exotic climate. Best time to visit Bali is generally from June to September when days are dry and sunny. The wettest months are November to March.
