COMO Shambhala Estate occupies a 22-acre natural sanctuary in a riverine forest just beyond Ubud, a 90-minute drive from Denpasar International Airport. The site sits around the Ayung River and holds a place in Balinese tradition as a purification ground, marked by a sacred spring known locally as The Source.
The property is aligned with four key Balinese temples, reflecting its cultural significance. Ubud itself is a recognised hub for arts, culture and wellness tourism in Bali, positioning the Estate within a landscape of galleries, studios and sacred sites rather than beachfront resorts.
Accommodation comprises private residences, villas and suites designed by architect Cheong Yew Kuan with interiors by Koichiro Ikebuchi. Materials include local stone, wood and traditional alang-alang roofing, drawn from Balinese building traditions.
The estate offers one-bedroom pool villas (235 square metres), two-bedroom pool villas (300 square metres), two-bedroom garden pool villas (591 square metres), three-bedroom pool villas (620 square metres) and terrace suites (42–80 square metres). All feature private pools, Jacuzzis and outdoor living spaces with forest or garden views. Larger residences include fully equipped kitchens and multiple master bedrooms.
The estate operates two dining venues. Kudus House serves breakfast and dinner menus focused on Indonesian cuisine using regional ingredients and traditional recipes. Glow is an all-day dining restaurant featuring dishes from COMO Shambhala Kitchen, the estate's signature healthy cuisine philosophy based on organic, nutrient-rich ingredients.
Private dining is available at multiple locations on the estate, including the Tea House and riverside settings. Sunday brunch is offered weekly at glow. The kitchens accommodate vegetarian and vegan options across all menus.
Ojas is the estate's wellness centre, offering the signature COMO Shambhala Massage, individual treatments, cold plunges and oxygen therapy. The property provides three ways to access wellness: all-inclusive multi-night packages with structured itineraries (six Wellness Paths), à la carte room bookings with wellness add-ons, or standalone treatments and centre access without accommodation.
Each villa and suite includes a private pool. Day-visitor access allows non-residents to use the Ojas wellness centre, dine at either restaurant or join two-day wellness programmes.
The estate is designed primarily for guests seeking structured wellness experiences—yoga retreats, Ayurvedic treatments, and health-focused stays. The multi-night Wellness Paths cater to those with specific wellness intentions such as nervous system balancing, gut cleansing and metabolic reset.
The riverine forest setting and cultural experiences (water purification ceremonies, herb walks, temple trekking) appeal to travellers interested in Balinese tradition. Larger villas with multiple bedrooms and kitchens accommodate families or small group retreats.
The estate is located a 90-minute drive from Denpasar International Airport, Bali's main gateway. Ground transfers can be arranged through the estate.
