With nutrition being a main component of all the programmes, two restaurants, Glow and Kudus, cater for all food tastes and plans. They focus on food that maximises personal performance and increases concentration and energy levels. 

glow
glow is a contemporary open-kitchen, allowing you to watch the preparation and cooking of local and fresh produce, serving delicious food all day. 

Kudus
Kudus brings together the many diverse influences of Indonesia's regions into an intimate space to give a truly exotic experience to guests, set in a 160-year-old former Javanese house perched above the gorge. 

Both restaurants allow for the tailored nutritional aspects to some programmes, giving you easy access to great, healthy and fresh food. If you don't fancy going to dinner, simply ask your personal assistant to bring it to your room and enjoy the mouth-watering cuisine in sumptuous comfort.

    There is something almost magical about Como Shambhala Estate, as I head through the nearby town of Ubud; home to all things creative in Bali, I feel the excitement start to build.

    Fantastic holiday, cannot fault anything. Highlights to me were: peace and calm, the food, the beauty of the location and the variety of activities. I’m telling all my friends about it and saying: embrace the opportunities, go with an open mind, take the calm home with you as much as you can whether it’s through yoga, stretching, whole food, or the memory of the lovely people you will meet there! Thank you Health and Fitness Travel for recommending COMO Shambhala to me! It was a life-changing experience.

    Visited October 2015

    Thanks to a system error during the reservation process with their sister resort, we were upgraded to this huge beautiful resort that I have always wanted to stay in. Stayed here for a total of 3 nights in their 2 bedroom private retreat pool villas. Their retreat villas are more modern than their reaidences. But having walked past their residences, they looked more local and unique but less private.

    On arrival, we were greeted warmly and brought on a tour of the grounds of the estate and then to the villa for a in-villa check-in. Our personal assistant was already there waiting to check us in and with our welcome drink. He helped to ensure that all the activities we booked are arranged. He was also helpful to answer all our queries. And greet us at our breakfast and remind us of our schedules.

    This is a one of a kind resort with unmatched service and attention to details. We loved our stay here so much. The residence we stayed in was perfect. If feels like your own private home in Bali with a full time staf to keep it impecibley clean and meet your every need. The food, spa, grounds, service, pools, hikes and incredible natural beauty are not to be surpased and all in a magical and mystical location. This should not be a once in a lifetime experince because you will want to return long after you have departed, as I do. But, if you only have one opportunity to visit this should be that once in a lifetime destination in Indonesia.

    My wife and I were staying at the sister property, Uma by Como, and decided to come by Como Shambhala for a visit and lunch. Boy are we glad we did!

    Como Shambhala is immediately relaxing...it is just so beautiful, well appointed and the staff is highly trained and clearly service oriented. We were delighted to return for lunch down at the river and a day of relaxation. Makes us wish we had booked at Como Shambhala instead of Uma (which is a fine hotel, but not remotely comparable).

    Visited September 2015

    I first stayed at this estate in 2004 and eleven years later I still remember how I enjoyed my stay like it was yesterday. The first impression surely lasts forever. COMO Shambala Estate is a resort like any other resort in the area. It feels like it has its own atmosphere and its own charms. You can immediately feel it the moment you step in. This is my third time staying at the estate and its excellent service with its attention to detail are really unmatch with any resort I have stayed before. The appointed butler will help you in anything you need. The healthy menu will offer you the freshest ingredients you've ever tasted. The stay at COMO Shambala Estate will not only relax your body, but also your mind.

Highs

  • Surrounded by acres of tropical rainforest, COMO Shambala is both stunning and serene.
  • The holistic therapies offered by the award-winning spa equate to relaxation and zen at its finest
  • Food is locally grown (mostly on-site). The freshness of its source can be tasted in the meals, which are absolutely divine.
  • Private infinity pools for villa guests – need we say more.
  • The service and attention by staff is unparalleled
  • If it’s care you’re after, then it’s care you shall get – there is a dedicated ayurvedic doctor, oriental medicine consultant, certified yoga teacher, Pilates teacher, personal trainer and nutritionist onsite.
  • The ‘back-to-nature’ wellness approach is reflected throughout the estate, from the décor to the treatments and food.

Lows

  • If you enjoy the hustle and bustle of a nearby town, this remote location may not be for you.
  • Pools may have to be shared with other guests. For total privacy book into one of the self-contained villas.
  • There are some steep steps leading down to the river. The down-hill requires agility and the up-hill can certainly get the heart racing!
  • 5-star impeccable luxury and service doesn’t come cheap!
