Spa

The Como Shambhala Spa welcomes its guests with minimalist elegance expressed through the predominantly white colour palette, low furniture, and natural-fibre and dark- wood furnishings. The ten treatment rooms echo the minimalist design to provide guests with a tranquil retreat.

Spa products

The spa’s very own COMO Shambhala products are used for all beauty and massage treatments. The range includes shower gels, massage oils, body scrubs, and scented candles, all of which contain local botanical ingredients such as ginger, basil, lemon, and camphor.
