Bayugita Pool, Como Shambhala Estate, Ubud, Indonesia

Como Shambhala Estate

Wellness and Spa
Bali and Lombok, Indonesia

Como Shambhala is set in the hills of Ubud overlooking the stunning Ayung Valley and River. The grounds are fed by three holy springs highlighting COMO’s concept of serenity and calm.

The gardens are phenomenal, beautifully kept without being manicured and facilities include one of the world’s best holistic spas. The beautifully designed residences and pool villas are simple in their design, using locally sourced wood and stone and dark wood interiors and each has a private pool.

Why we like Como Shambhala Estate

With its amazing spa and grounds, plus its excellent location for visiting the surrounding Ubud region, COMO Shambhala is perfect for those wanting to both immerse themselves in a health and spa programme but also suited to couples, independent travellers and families seeking a varied and fulfilling holiday.

Facilities

Swimming pool
Three natural rock spring pools
Spa
Sauna and steam room
Two fitness centres
A choice of restaurants
Tennis court
Yoga pavilions

Activities

If you can tear yourself away from the peaceful pools and world-class wellness spa, visit the local artisans of nearby Ubud, take a walk along the Tjampuhan Ridge, home to Gunung Lebah temple or a thrilling white-water ride down the Ayung River. Alternatively take one of the resorts bikes out for the day.
