“A wonderfully opulent spa retreat in the rainforests along the Ayung River. With wooden suites & villas featuring four-poster beds & outdoor rainwater showers, this is a special spot. Everything here seems to have its own natural flow here - including the infinity pools. Simplicity meets luxury. ”

Hotel Review
One of a kind, this exquisitely elegant hotel is set on its own estate overlooking thickly forested hills, steep misty valleys and monumental moss-covered stone walls. Its 30 suites are split between nine individually styled villas, each with its own pool. The hotel encourages a holistic approach to life focusing on wellness but does this in a relaxed manner – unless you knew you wouldn’t even notice. The spa treatments are sinfully pleasurable and so is the food. Perfect to rest, recharge and develop new good habits, it is also a convenient location from which to visit nearby Ubud or take part in adventurous mountain biking, trekking and rafting.

COMO Shambhala Estate
"Part super-slick hotel, part spiritual retreat, this is a place to come for complete self-restoration. Encircled by jungle and waterfalls, patrolled by monkeys and frequently shrouded in river mist, it is like a valley conjured up in a dream. But one that can also produce real results."
