COMO Shambhala Estate, overlooking Bali’s Ayung River, just north of Ubud, ranks as one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. So when COMO Hotels founder Christina Ong debuted a series of enhancements and renovations to mark the flagship property’s 20th birthday late in 2025, my interest was piqued. But I travel for a living. There needed to be more to lure me, even to such a paradise. Then, I heard about the rebooted Ojas Wellness Centre, featuring hyperbaric oxygen chambers, infrared saunas and cold therapy, and vitamin and ozone infusions. Ticket booked.

The Ojas Wellness Centre overlook the Bali jungle.
