COMO Shambhala Estate

The Verdict
Worth it for your honeymoon?
COMO Shambhala Estate is a 23-acre wellness sanctuary in the jungle above Begawan Giri outside Ubud, built around five residences designed by Cheong Yew Kuan. It is the island's serious wellness destination — Ayurveda, Ayurvedic cuisine, hydrotherapy, resident doctors — and a transformative choice for couples who want their honeymoon to actually reset something. Not a spa hotel with yoga tacked on; this is a retreat with hotel-grade luxury bolted on.

Room Recommendation
Which room to book
Book a one-bedroom suite within Tirta Ening, the residence that sits directly over the Ayung River — the suites face a private infinity pool with jungle canopy and river sounds below. Alternatively, the Wanakasa treehouse suites put you up in the jungle canopy among the ficus.

Honest Assessment
What to know before you book
This is a wellness retreat — no burgers, minimal alcohol, and the kitchen leans plant-based and macrobiotic. If you wanted a pure indulgence honeymoon, pair it with a few nights at a beach resort.
The estate is built on a steep ravine; buggies run constantly but there are stairs everywhere.
It's not adults-only officially but families are very rare — expect a hushed, adult-serious atmosphere.
