COMO Shambhala Estate, Bali, Indonesia: Is this the world’s most restorative hotel?

If it’s peace of mind you’re looking for, it doesn’t get much better than the iconic COMO Shambhala Estate. Set in 22 acres of breathtaking jungle, near Bali's cultural capital of Ubud, it’s a place that seems to vibrate on a higher plane.

A stalwart of the destination hotel scene, Shambhala opened in its original iteration in 1995 after a British couple discovered its paradisal grounds and worked in collaboration with residents of surrounding villages to create an estate hotel. A few years on it was snapped up by Singaporean hotelier Christina Ong as part of the COMO group. She introduced yoga pavilions and spa treatments — and so the seeds were sown for its reputation as a world-class wellness destination.
