COMO Shambhala Estate in Detail
Your Wellness Resort
Nestled in the Payangan jungle, by a sacred spring revered by locals for its healing properties, lies the COMO Shambhala Estate – an extraordinary oasis of meditative tranquility. This unique hideaway resembles not just a resort, but a Balinese village seamlessly integrated into nature. Here lies the renowned COMO Shambhala Spa (from age 16), the birthplace of a holistic wellness concept that merges modern science with Eastern healing arts. Tailored massage therapies, personalised fitness programmes, Ayurvedic treatments, and a healing wellness cuisine holistically support both body and mind. Guests can also partake in an authentic spiritual experience at the Tirta Empul water temple, built in the 10th century and still a key element in Balinese mythology today. During a purification ritual in 30 different water sources, travellers undergo a profound spiritual cleansing – from protection against nightmares to the clarification of chakras.
Location & Surroundings
The COMO Shambhala Estate is nestled in the lush rainforest of Payangan near Ubud, surrounded by tropical trees, bamboo groves, and the sacred spring revered by the Balinese for its healing properties. Here, in the cultural and spiritual heart of Bali, you will experience tranquility and pure nature, while the artistic city of Ubud with its temples, traditional markets, and galleries is just a short drive away. The expansive estate blends harmoniously into the hillside landscape along the Ayung River and offers breathtaking views of the Balinese jungle. Walks through the rice fields, visits to local artisan villages, or spiritual cleansing rituals at the nearby water temple Tirta Empul make your stay a deeply authentic experience, closely connected with Balinese culture and nature.
Dining & Leisure
The Wellness Cuisine blends fresh, nutrient-rich ingredients with Balinese and international influences to foster healing from within. Guests relish light, creative dishes at the "Kudus House" restaurant, set in a traditional Javanese building, or at the open "Glow" restaurant overlooking the jungle. Whether it's vegan, vegetarian, or bespoke detox options, each meal is designed to harmonize body and mind while delivering the utmost culinary delight.
Wellness & Spa
The spa "Ojas" is the jewel of the resort, embodying a holistic wellness concept in its purest form. Nestled in the Balinese jungle, the retreat centre features 12 treatment rooms, outdoor spring water pools, a 25-metre pool, a hydrotherapy and vitality pool with circuit training, as well as a sauna and steam bath, creating the perfect conditions for profound rejuvenation. The multi-award-winning spa combines modern science with traditional healing methods. Guests enjoy personalised treatments such as Ayurvedic treatments, Balinese massages, acupuncture, and hydrotherapy, complemented by yoga, Pilates, and meditation in open pavilions with views of the lush greenery. A highly qualified, international team of wellness experts, personal fitness trainers, and yoga instructors ensures that every guest achieves harmony of body, mind, and spirit.
Fitness & Courses
The fitness and Pilates studio, along with two yoga pavilions, complete the offerings, creating a space where tranquility, healing, and sustainable relaxation are truly experienced. Weekly schedule includes about 3-4 sessions daily, each lasting approximately 60-75 minutes, such as Flow Yoga, Yin Yoga, Pranayama breathing exercises and meditation, circuit training in the fitness studio or in the pool, Pilates, and endurance training.
Free Time
The renowned Tegalalang Rice Terraces are located approximately a 30-minute drive from the hotel. The area is also ideal for outdoor activities such as hiking, mountain biking, cycling, rowing, or rafting. Within the gardens of the COMO Shambala Estate, there is an ancient spring with rejuvenating sacred water, just steps away from the Ayung River. Here, you can participate in a guided water spring blessing ceremony (available for a fee). The hotel also offers cooking classes (available for a fee).
