We want to thank everyone we encountered/had contact with during this vacation. Firstly, this house is super elegant and beautiful. We definitely feel the Bali life during this stay. But what made this stay unforgettable is the staff. Dwi, Ita, Dewa, Budi, Chef Astawa and everyone were so wonderful to us. They all provided first class service, they took care of us with smile. Special thanks to chef for all our meals we had every time here at the villa. Also, thanks you Dwi for trying your best to make our last minute request happen. All of you are great people. Till we see each other again.

We had a great stay in Villa Shambala. The villa is a little part of paradise in the center of Seminyak. The villa has everything you wish, is very clean and very nicely decorated. We would like to thank all the staff, they were all great. Everything we asked was arranged, the food was delicious, housekeeping great and the security always there. Thanks a lot to everybody. We will definitely be back if we are in the neighborhood.

Crowded streets, but once you enter the drifted wood gate, wonder reveals. Budha stares at you with a peaceful gate, flowers hanging over his neck and the sounds of water - what a bliss. I don't know what to start with. A warm and friendly welcome, such kind and helpful staff. Discrete luxury, refined pleasure, elegantly designed pool, comfy beds, beautiful garden, shade almost everywhere. I feel young and beautiful again. I will definitely come again. Congratulations for your exquisite property and services. I am blessed, we are blessed, all of us.

Shambala is a beautiful retreat. The arrangement is very conducive to sharing happy time, eating, talking, swimming. Also everyone has a private place to retire for shares and sleeping. The integrates of outdoor and indoor is simply stunning from Buddha to swim pool. The varied menus cooked in the villa are excellent. We could gather for excellent barbecue instead of going to a restaurant. Most important is the kind staff who saw to an every need. No matter how small or difficult, every request for anything who fulfilled. Jack and Ayu were very special in helping with my husband. Thank you for making this per-wedding week so amazing. We also love the turtles and fish.

Villa Shambala has been like paradise on earth. It is a haven from the hectic streets of Seminyak. The staff are very attentive without being intrusive. They anticipate your needs and wants and are extremely efficient. Nothing is too much trouble and service is delivered with a smile. All the staff are warm and friendly and genuinely care. The facilities are fantastic and everything is beautifully maintained from the rooms, to the pool and the gardens. The pool is a perfect temperature and is refreshing without being cold. Make sure you have lots of in house beauty treatments as the recommended therapists the Shambala uses were incredible and always consistent. The meals prepared by Ketut were just divine especially the Indonesian cuisine. Everyday we were spoilt by amazing breakfasts which were the perfect start to the day. We are sad to be leaving Villa Shambala, our home away from home.

An amazing, beautiful, tranquil place hidden behind the outside world. The food has been prepared with such love and enthusiasm, and presented the same way. To the staff at Villa Shambala, you have made our stay exactly how I dream my/our holiday would be. The beautiful smiles, happy faces and the way you embraced us with your kindness. Nothing was ever too hard. We especially found such peace here. I can't wait to tell everyone about our stay. I think the fish and turtles may have put a bit of weigh on from the many hands feeding them. Sad to say goodbye to dear Villa Shambala. Leaving with beautiful memories. So many thanks.

Thank you so much to the wonderful staff at Villa Shambala, you made our holiday so amazing. Nothing was too much trouble. Our kids loved the milkshakes and the banana fritters. The dinners in the villa were the best we had in Bali. The villa itself is out of this world. Such Luxury. We can't wait to come back soon.

We spent 7 days in Shambala Villa in Seminyak and I can say the stay was wonderful. Perfect service provided by Arya and Susi, tasty and nice food prepared by Ketut. The Villa is very well equipped, big pool, nice rooms, but the best was the very convenient living room. Really nice stay in Shambala. I think we will return again.

Thank you for an incredible stay in this beautiful villa. It is truly spectacular place physically but the experience is even more special because of the attentive and friendly staff who go out of their way to make you feel at home.

Our expectations were exceeded in every way. We will recommend Villa Shambala and plan to return when possible. Great location, close enough to all the action but still very private, secluded and peaceful. The staff were very warm, friendly and nothing was too much. The quality of the food and drinks was great and to a very high standard. The design of the villa suited us and made the holiday very easy and relaxing even with three different families needs. Thank you so much! That was awesome.

What a Divine week. We have been fed with beautiful Balinese food, drink and been pampered and looked after so well by the great staff at Villa Shambala. It has been an unforgettable stay in a secluded tropical haven. Lovely food and Balinese smiles have made our week. Not to mention massages and scooter rides. My sixth visit to Bali and the best visit ever. Thank so much. We can't wait to come back.

My family and I had the best vacation ever at Villa Shambala. We loved and thoroughly enjoyed everything that was offered. Very tasty and fresh food (Thank you so much for the home made oatmeal cookies), Perfectly decorated bedrooms, welcoming and clear swimming pool, videos in the home theater. Everything was great. Most at all, all Villa Shambala staff are so nice, genuine and caring to our every needs. We are so sad to leave but feel blessed to have spent our wonderful holidays in this magical place. We hope we can be back soon.

Villa Shambala was an amazing villa to stay at. From the beginning of the trip upon our late night arrival, staff met us with food and drinks and explained the villa to us. The staff was always willing to help in anyway possible. Food was prepared when and how we requested. The staff was more than willing to arrange taxis for our group and reservations at local restaurants. I was extremely impressed with the house and would definitely recommend it for anyone staying in Seminyak.

The Villa is exactly as shown on the website - if not better. There is somewhere to "get away" for everyone. We were an extended family ( from 70 to 2) and the separate bedrooms worked very well. The outdoor eating area made for many happy family meals. The pool was large with a shallow end for younger children and deep enough and large enough for a decent swim. The staff were outstanding. There was always someone there for meals and the chef did a wonderful job of cooking for the children as well as the adults. Butlers, room attendants, gardeners were all helpful and nothing was too much trouble. A wonderful week. We had to drag ourselves away.

We had a fantastic stay in Villa Shambala. The villa is stunning and the staff were amazing. Annie was the chef, we ate some fabulous food from all around the world. Six adults and four children, plenty of room for kids to run around and plenty of space to not feel like we were living on top of each other. Couldn't have been any better. Thank you

Oh My!! we can't rave enough about this place - although I want to keep a lid on it due to the fact that we don't want it to become too popular we can't get back in!!! We help my 40th poolside soire here and could not have asked for a better time! the staff could not do enough - the food impeccable - the atmosphere fun and fabulous when we needed it and relaxing and indulgent when things needed to be slow! our guests and ourselves were truly blown away with Wayan, Arya and his team!! well done to a fabulous bunch and a true gem of a villa!

Stunning Villa in the earth of Seminyak, only few steps away from the beach and KUDETA's spotlights. Despite the central location, we enjoyed peaceful time only surrounded by palms and bamboos trees. Bedrooms are spacious, charming and really well decorated, only one of the five bedrooms does not meet the same standards and it's more suitable for children or temporary guests rather than for a couple taying long term. The outside area is dominated by one of the biggest pools you can find in a private villa in Seminyak. And for better enjoying this slice of paradise we have been supported by a kind, unobtrusive and smiling staff. For sure it was one experience we all would like to repeat in the near future!
