Alot can be said about the beauty of nature that surrounds COMO Shambhala Estate.

Experience rustic luxury and discreet service at one of the Residences; or book the Retreat Pool Villa for total privacy.

Opened in 2005, COMO Shambhala Estate has perfected the art of a healthy way of living, learning and eating well. With a

minimum three-night stay, a stay at The Estate gets you started on a journey toward sustainabl­e wellness. The Estate provides individual­ly tailored programmes depending on the goals and needs of each guest, from Be Active, Cleanse, Ayurveda or Bespoke. With a team of resident experts which includes an Ayurvedic consultant and an Oriental Medicine consultant, guests will learn more on how to heal their mind, body and soul.

There are daily activities to support the programme, from pilates to pranayama meditation in different facilities throughout The Estate. In between, enjoy nutritious fare at the glow restaurant or Kudus House. The COMO Shambhala cuisine at both F&B outlets uses organic, locally sourced ingredient­s, and cater to different dietary plans without sacrificin­g in flavour.

Spend some time at the Ojas, the main treatment area where the spa, vitality pool, outdoor hydrothera­py area, steam room, sauna, yoga bale and relaxation area are located. Highly skilled spa therapists are ready to assist your healing process with various massage and body care treatments. At the end of the nurturing experience, guests will return home with new knowledge and a reservoir of recharged energy.

set of organs and systems, such as the endocrine and the nervous system, affecting the senses, perception­s and awareness. For example, the sacral chakra, located in the lower abdomen, is our centre of sensuality and self-worth, fertility and creativity. When it's balanced, it enables us to ‘let go’, connect openly to others and develop our own sense of pleasure and creativity. Thus, the spa at Four Seasons Resort Bali designed a deep lymphatic scrub, Vichy shower, nourishing bath and flowing chakra warming massage with ylang ylang and jasmine oils, and meditation that are aimed at restoring the sacral chakra.

Fera personally leads the meditation classes, hosts a series of talks and the peaceful Sacred Nap session, but she says that self-awareness is the ultimate healer. “You should be the healer for yourself. There is so much a healer can help you, all she or he can do is to offer you a temporary relief. It is like taking a painkiller. The first person who is there for you when you feel the pain is yourself so it is important to embrace yourself first,” says Fera.
