Villa Shambala

Our family has been to Bali more than 10 times now, and this is by far the best villa my family and friends have ever stayed in. The staff are wonderful, they really help you step into holiday mode. Nothing is too much trouble for them, and they are fantastic with kids as well. To be honest, you could spend a week at the villa, and not step outside the villa's walls, the quality / service of the meals and drinks was first class. Thank you again for a lovely stay, we will be back!

Villa Shambala was everything we hoped for and more! The villa is stunning with a mix of traditional Balinese decor and modern amenities with living areas surrounding the huge central pool, a fantastic meeting area for our family. It was an absolute haven to come home to each day, immediately relaxing when you wander into the enclosure and enjoy the luxurious surroundings (and in-house massages and facials!) As much the villa was beautiful, our stay was made even better by the wonderful staff, all of whom quietly go about their duties but make you feel so special. We would like to make a special mention of our great butlers, Aju and Jack who were both sensational, Aju's warmth and personality made sure we had everything we needed and Jack made the best cocktails! Nothing was too much trouble and their courteous and professional service made our stay at the Villa absolutely PERFECT! We celebrated my 60th birthday with a BBQ dinner at the Villa, all the staff went to so much trouble to make this a very special event. We enjoyed breakfasts, lunches and dinners prepared by the chef which were all fantastic. I will never forget this holiday and is probably the best ever. Everyone loved this villa and hopefully we can come back one day! Highly recommend, you wont be sorry!

Perfectly situated in the heart of Seminyak, the more stylish part of Bali, Villa Shambala was perfect for travelling as a family of 6 for two weeks with 3 teenagers who had their own bedrooms and bathrooms up one end of the 19m pool and a littly up the other in the main house who felt like a true princess in the garden suite. All staff were welcoming, friendly and attentive without crowding our space. You really don’t know they are there until they suddenly appear offering a fresh towel or a cold drink. Menu selections were varied and delicious. The convenience of booking massages in the poolside spa room (although more expensive than the $6 ones down the street that our sons went to) were well worth it and having a private yoga instructor attend each morning were the icing on the cake. Villa Shambala is a stunning oasis that we truly enjoyed hanging out in, and returning home to after a day of shopping or dining which we would highly recommend to others who expect only the best and most luxurious of accommodation and service.

My family celebrated Christmas (and my birthday) at the villa and the amazing staff went above & beyond to ensure we had a wonderful stay. The chef, Katut, created delicious feasts for us - no request too difficult. Normally restaurant people, we opted to stay at home more often than not. We had some vegan guests well catered to. Our butlers, Abu & Dewa, were fabulous, ensuring we organised, anticipated our needs and always ensuring drinks in hand. Decorated my bedroom for my birthday as a surprise with a fresh flower mural. We went to a larger modern villa for 2nd part of holiday to accommodate more guests (Villa Anam) and were sorely disappointed in comparison. Villa is older style, but it meant the gardens were more luscious and ebstablished. Gorgeous pool, private & quiet location - less than 10 min walk to heart of Seminyak if you didn't use supplied scooters (another bonus). Shower pressure (for the master bed at least) was non-existent. Highly recommend due to the incredible staff.
