COMO Shambhala bare foot luxury Destination Spa

COMO SHAMBHALA Estate is part of the COMO group who are truly the masters and innovators of bare foot luxury - think uber stylish but understated, not a gold tap in sight. They are committed to offering the best treatments, therapists and yoga teachers all in pristine environments around the world with cuisine to die for. Their comprehensive wellness offering is ahead of the curve and very high quality.  All  the staff at COMO are trained to ensure that all your expectations, wants and needs are met with a smile. COMO is committed to working harmoniously with the natural environment and is respectful of the people who live in the area.

Setting

The drive to The Estate will take you past rice fields, temples and shrines. Do not miss seeing the wonderful landscapes. COMO Shambhala sits on 23 acres of land in the heart of Bali. The property is perched on a jungle covered mountain which is lush with tropical trees, flowers and wildlife as well as a sacred spring (the Source) and the Ayung sacred River. Nearby 15 minutes drive away is the town of Ubud whose name means medicine in Balinese due to the medicinal plantation that grows wild in the area. The accommodation is stylish, airy, using natural products with a modern Asian design which gives you the feeling of calm and serenity.

Benefits

With genius treatments and programmes even the most spa savvy guest will be impressed. All therapists have the X factor and are trained in house to ensure they are up to the high COMO standards. Whether you pick an Ayurveda treatment, pop into a yoga class or indulge in one of the anti - aging programmes, you will be truly wowed. Be sure to take advantage of their comprehensive menu of activities from the Jungle Gym, yoga or cookery classes - it is always worth the effort. 

Eateries

There are 2 restaurants at COMO Shambhala - Glow and Kudos. They also offer room service as well as a light snack menu which is available in the spa area or by the pool. Prepare your taste buds for a wholesome treat of a lifetime as you will feel like you have died and gone to nutritional heaven. All food is intelligently prepared and is rich in nutrition and bursting with flavour. COMO Shambhala places a core emphasis on cuisine and their nutritionists liaise between the guest and the kitchen, ensuring all personal needs are catered for. For us wheat free or dairy free people this is food heaven.

Feel Good Factor

The Estate is truly a mystical place, which makes it impossible not to be at one with yourself and nature. You will come away rested, feeling healthier, happier and, if you venture out on one of the wonderful treks offered (or bike rides), with a knowledge of Bali’s authentic way of life and its people.

Who's it for?

Anyone who takes their wellbeing seriously as well as the wellbeing of the environment and wants to combine their time improving their health and seeing Bali. Let’s be honest here, expect bankers, leaders in business, A-list stars and people who are giving themselves a real treat. So any grey bikinis must be left at home to save embarrassment at the pool.

Insider Tips

Yes, this might be bare foot luxury but definitely pack your best kaftans, chic bikinis and straw sunhats. Think Anya Hindmarch straw clutch bags to get you on the right track. You will have your own personal butler who will be able to help you with anything you need. Do visit the local village and Ubud Town and see the local arts and crafts. If your yoga kit is not up to scratch then pop into the COMO Shop and indulge in their gorgeous but understated yoga line.
