For a holistic wellness resort you’re not likely to forget in a hurry, make for COMO Shambhala Estate in the cultural area of Ubud in Bali. Indulge in Tai Chi, yoga and meditation classes amidst the resort’s peaceful and jungle location, with the Ayung River close by. Rooms situated in individual residences are decorated in fine local silks, with beautiful views. The exceptional COMO Suite has two master suites, a private infinity pool, private terrace with Jacuzzi and a courtyard terrace, perfect for private dinners.

Sometimes, from the outside, you might wonder what all the fuss is about. But Aman sucks you in. Day two, day three, you're toast, brother, addicted to its zen for life. Aman holds fast to a certain flip-flop chic, knowing exactly how to spoil its disciples without being over-the-top or formulaic. Want breakfast on the beach at 1pm? No problem. It's about supercharged standards but at a totally intimate level - from homemade spicy teas to fabulous guides. While a rash of newer and brasher outfits compete to knock them off their pedestal, Aman, let's face it, rather puts its nose in the air. Of all the Aman motherships, Amanwana & Amanjiwo are pretty much its star players with, so it's said, more repeat guests than at any of its other outposts.
