Como Shambhala Resort in Bali. By Eric • Mar 18, 2011 • Selected Work Como Shambhala Estate is located amidst the serenity of Bali’s stunning landscape, close to Ubud, Bali’s creative and cultural center.
Accommodations are a mix of contemporary design and indigenous detailing, with houses dramatically inset into the forest, in jade-green clearings and above the River Ayung. Each is different from the next, with subtle shifts in mood, view and spirit. Private and Retreat Villas allow for couples and single travelers to be entirely private; some include their own spa facilities. Suites and Villas can be booked all year long from $535 to $3,570 per night, depending on the season and the room/villa size.

The complex is now home to its Gothic-influenced architect Ricardo Bofill, acting as his main residence, as well as numerous vast offices, archives, design labs and various outside patios, decks, gardens and paths. All part of an ever-evolving master plan. Ivy, cypress, eucalyptus, palm and olive trees have been slowly added and grown throughout the remodel, giving the exterior grounds new life, as well as the interior areas.
The décor is simple and aims to not detract too much from the majesty and ethos of the rooms themselves. This article has been tagged in the following...
