Signature Treatment
COMO Shambhala Massage. A nurturing massage using their signature blended massage oil to calm the mind and rejuvenate the body.
We Love
- The Outdoor Gym and climbing wall - it is so liberating to take your fitness sessions outdoors rather than a stuffy gym.
- There is a very special Water Garden which is in a hidden zone above the river. It has a steam area, hot tub, and four pavilions, each with large rest areas and outdoor baths and showers
- A fully equipped Pilates Studio with resident teacher is a unique facility and one that shows their dedication to provide all things holistic.

Holiday reviews and comments

There are no words to describe how amazing Como Shambhala Estate was.
Every single detail was perfect and stunning. The service was second to none, the place was very beautiful, the food was so yummy that every mouthful felt like heaven, the facilities were really wonderful. Jason and I had a very sporty time, trekking cycling, white water rafting and gym too. The treatments in the spa were sensational, we had thai and sports massage.
We really really loved it. I have been to Parrot Cay and many other 5 star resorts, but Como Shambhala Estate way exceeds any other place Iv'e ever visited. It was so personal and the attention to detail was outstanding. We were absolutely very very impressed by every aspect of the place. It had a very special feeling and it is a very very special place.
After Como Shambhala Estate we went to the Four Seasons Jimbaran Bay, and we really noticed a huge diference from leaving Como! A step down, even though it was lovely.
We will definitely be returning to Como Shambhala as we loved it so so much.

Wellbeing Escapes was recommended by a friend and I have to say Thank You. I was very impressed both by the service and the holiday at Como Shambhala. Not only that, the after sales service was equally impressive, a very rare thing. I would not hesitate to use Wellbeing Escapes again or to recommend them to friends.

Travelled August 07
We had a fabulous time a Como Shambhala - our only complaint was that we had to leave. They met us at the airport and whizzed us through customs before giving us water and a cold towel and driving us the few hours away to the estate. The staff were exceptional - especially Sumantran who was our personal assistant. I took part in a Yoga class which was very good and my husband took part in what I can only describe as a jacuzzi class - which he really enjoyed. I wish we had had time for more. We were lucky enough to be there on a day when there was a local festival and as both the graveyard and the temple for the local town are in the estate grounds, they invited all the guests to participate and gave us all clothing and a running commentary. It was all totally comfortable and felt like we were just mucking in with the rest of them rather than it being a show for tourists (which it really wasn't). The food was excellent and incredibly healthy with lots of veggie options. We had the treatments, which were professionally administered, and upgraded one of them to a wrap, which they did for us on their hillside treatment place (very small) which was great. The staff were smiley, warm and professional and I would definitely go back again. Also it felt like there were very few people there, despite the fact the place was fairly fully booked.
Also, can I thank whoever did the plane booking for us as we had superb bulkhead seats on all but one of the flights.
