The flagship of the chic COMO Shambhala holistic health brand, the Estate (as it's known for short) enjoys a special setting on a ridge overlooking a jungle-covered riverbank close to Ubud, Bali's cultural hub.
It is famed for the Source, a natural spring revered for its healing properties. It is a residential wellness retreat offering comprehensive lifestyle and healing programmes to rebalance mind, body and spirit in a deeply affecting environment.
When not being cosseted, pampered and advised, guests stay at luxurious four or five-suite Residences or individual Retreat Villas. Each suite has one bedroom, except - grandest of all - the Royal Suite at Umabona which has two (plus jacuzzi, infinity pool, living room and dining room).
At the buzzing heart of the Estate are two restaurants. Glow is an open-sided, all-day dining restaurant serving ultra-healthy COMO Shambhala cuisine. Kudus House is open for breakfast and dinner, showcasing the diverse influences and flavours of Indonesia's regions.
In a sunny clearing at the centre of the resort is Ojas, the award-winning spa and main treatment area where you can simply hang out or book private sessions with resident consultants such as the Ayurvedic doctor.
Treatments are also available in Kedara, the Estate's spring-fed water gardens. Resident yoga teachers offer daily complimentary classes and visiting masters regularly host specialist Retreat Weeks.

Bookable in their entirety or as individual rooms, each residence is characterised by uniquely beautiful interiors decorated with Indonesian artefacts and hand-made furniture. There are 10 villas, five located towards the western edge of the resort and five located at the COMO Shambhala Estate retreat facility.
Garden Rooms are the most basic room category offered. Rooms overlook the garden with a king-sized bed, private balcony, bath tub and open air shower room.
Terrace Suites are also part of the Residence. They are different from Garden Suites because they have a private outdoor area (either a terrace or garden) in addition to access to the Residence's main shared pool and living areas.
The Estate fosters a balanced approach to eating, encouraging guests to enjoy their food and its creation while maintaining a life-long interest in the benefits of good nutrition. These values are reflected in Personal Eating Plans drawn up by The Estate's resident Nutritionist and Executive Chef, complemented by Special Learning Seminars and Cookery Workshops.
Food is organic and sourced locally. Meat, fish and vegetables are all featured, allowing all guests to eat healthily whatever their preferences. Tastes, too, are given full rein in influences that run the gamut from South Indian spices to Italian and Balinese.
International Restaurant - Glow is the all-day dining restaurant.
Javanese Restaurant - Kudus House serves breakfast and dinner, showcasing the diverse influences, flavours and spices of Indonesia's regions served in a 150-year old former Javanese residence.
Spa Restaurant - In the spa area and beside the pool, guests can partake of a light snack menu, including healthy sate, sorbets, and granitas served in bamboo steamers, wooden vessels and banana-leaf wraps.
Prior to your stay at The Estate, you're encouraged to communicate with the resort so that the right Personal Programme may be developed for each individual. A fixed aprogramme operates daily with group activities that might include morning Yoga, Pilates, Tai'Chi, morning walks, guided hikes, meditation, cooking demonstrations and specialist Learning Seminars. Personal Programmes complement the Activities Programme and focus on particular activities, therapies and nutritional requirements to help everybody reach his or her individual goals, from get fit to detoxification.
The Estate places greatest value on its passionate and experienced team of specialist staff including Therapists, Consultants, Activity Guides, a resident Nutritionist, Naturopath, Ayurvedic Doctor, Physiotherapist, as well as Fitness, Yoga and Pilates Instructors.
Intuitive, purposeful and empowering, they are dedicated to guiding each guest out of familiar comfort zones towards higher goals and a sense of equilibrium.
In addition to changing mindsets, teaching skills and setting new perspectives, these experts also provide healing treatments and bodywork.
