Villa Shamballa is a rustic retreat tucked away in a sleepy traditional Balinese village near to the centre of Ubud, the cultural heart of Bali, famous for its art galleries, health café's and rice paddies. This intimate open-plan 1-bedroom villa is perched on the edge of a dramatic river gorge, providing you with amazing views. The greenery all around evokes a sense of being at one with nature, making it hard to leave this peaceful sanctuary for sure!
With just one bedroom, tucked on the first floor of the traditional wooden pavilion, this hideaway is designed for couples on a romantic getaway or small families. The view over the dense jungle valley is once again breathtaking and enchanting. There is a stunning four poster king-sized bed draped by white curtains and tucked with comfortable bedding and Egyptian cotton sheets to help you get a good night's sleep. At dawn, gentle rays of sunlight kiss you a good morning. Enjoy the wonderful view of sunrise each day, without even climbing out of bed. The en-suite is also beyond exceptions, boasting a bathtub on a balcony for bathing with an alfresco, back to nature feel to it.

The outdoor area features a stunning edged swimming pool that overflows naturally into the deep river valley, giving you an amazing experience and a breathtaking view while swimming laps in the crystal clear water. On the side there is a timber deck where you can soak up the sun to take that gorgeous tropical tan home with you after reviving your body, mind and soul during your stay on this mystical island. The villa's dining area is found outdoors, shaded by a pergola roof. At night, you can enjoy the romantic ambiance of a candlelight dinner by the poolside whilst you savor the exquisite meal that was crafted with your preferences in mind.
The fan-cooled open-sided living room features wooden sofa's tucked with push white pillows and they make comfortable lounge places to sit during the day, gazing at the view or reading a book to the sounds of nature and breathing in the fresh air of the jungle valley. The pool is just a few steps away, allowing you to live the tropical life in every sense of the word. In the evening you can watch movies together on the flat-screen television or you can opt to hire traditional Balinese dancers and Gamelan musicians to provide the entertainment in the evening.
The dedicated staff of three will welcome you with warm Balinese hospitality. They really are another highlight of this private piece of paradise, not only doing all the housekeeping for you, providing you with drinks and delicious food but they can also prepare a pampering flower bath for you at a small cost for the candles and the aroma therapy oils. Each guest is also given one complimentary natural aroma bath bomb.
With such beautiful views all around the villa and plenty of attractions in Ubud for you to explore, each day in Villa Shamballa is indeed a magical treat. We ensure that you will leave recharged and invigorated. In Ubud you can wonder around for days, visiting the market, the Monkey Forest, eating in the rice paddies at Sari Organic and visiting the renowned Yoga Barn. You can also follow art-classes, learn the secrets of the Balinese cuisine or go rafting on the Ayung river. The possibilities are endless!
9.8/10Villa Shamballa was a wonderful experience for my husband and I. We were lucky enough to get accommodation as we booked very last minute - 8pm the previous night, even with the last minute booking they were still able to arrange a taxi for us. The villa it's self is incredible with dreamy views and wonderful friendly staff. We loved everything about our stay and would HIGHLY recommend it to any one looking for a bit of romantic luxury.
8.4/10one night at the Villa Shamballa.. Top Villa but poorly located, too close to road so a lot of noise, very friendly staff and super friendly pool.
10/10For those of you Looking for a romantic getaway in a breathtaking location your searching is over! Villa Shamballa in Ubud is nestled away in a valley (just outside of the hustle and bustle of Ubud central) with your own private views in a spectacularly appointed resistance. Location wise we found it to be centrally located yet far enough away from the Ubud Market area to afford the best of both worlds. The photos of the villa are true to life with the only exception that Villa Shamballa is actually more impressive in person. You won't want for anything while staying here. The staff (which are on call 24/7) are so very accommodating and genuine. Was a joy to get to interact and know them over our stay. We'll definitely return, don't miss out on the most treasured and unforgettable stay in Bali and take my advice and book your own Spectacular stay @ Villa Shamballa!!!
