We visited the Shambhala spa for a relaxing spa treat and weren't disappointed. We opted for the couples Innersense package and it was truly amazing, which ended with an outdoorJapanese hot-tub including fruit and wine, it was a magical 3.5 hour experience and we couldn't rate it highly enough. Thanks to Priscilla and staff for a fabulous visit.

I had an ayurvedic massage with Zo, I went in with a lot of tension in my back, and left feeling perfect. The spa is a well appointed two story house, looked very clean and comfortable. Very professional, relaxing music, great massage. I recommend it!

All the hype is true; This spa is extraordinary!! I treated myself to the best massage I have ever had in my life (kudos to Fabiana for being an amazing masseuse and therapist). Staff is super nice and honest, the receptionist informed me of a promotion and I therefore paid 40% less than I should have. Do not miss out... More

After having experienced numerous spa's all over the world and ranking them (Mandarin Oriental in Paris and Fontainebleau in Miami are at the top of my list), what a surprise it was to discover this little gem where the service is outstanding, the massages are exquisite and the setting is amazing! Many thanks for the great massage!

We had a great experience at Shambhala. The staff are really great, welcoming and give really good treatments. We were picked up and taken to the spa which is a nice touch. We were also lucky enough to be there during spa week where they have a 40% discount in April, so it was extreemly good value too. Having said... More

Thank you for your kind words! We remember you had the Traditional Thai and Ayurvedic massage. If you visit us again during your stay, I recommend the Shambhala couples massage followed by the Japanese hot tub (ofurô) in the garden, a nice and different experience! More

It's not possible for me to say enough good things about the wonderful scrub and massage that I had recently at Shambhala. The owners are lovely, friendly and caring, and the therapists are so skillful and knowledgeable. All of this combined with one of the prettiest hilltop settings in Paraty. I would recommend anyone to not only find the time,... More

The whole experience was magnificent. I got the best massage ever. I totally reccommend the Lakshim massage. I think it's a must-do in Paraty
