I went for a facial and my sister had a massage on a rainy day in Paraty and it was so worth it! The spa was perfect - in the woods around paraty and the masseuses and beauticians were very friendly, helpful and good! More

I just came back from the Shambhala Asian Day Spa where my mother, brother and I had fantastic massages. Two of us elected to have the Thai massage, which was really excellent! My mother had the Shambhala massage, which was a mix of different massage styles, outdoors in the garden, she thought it was fabulous and she tends to be... More

My partner and I had Indian massages at Shambhala. Priscilla, the owner, picked us up at our hotel and drove us directly to the spa. It's a gorgeous facility, peaceful and relaxing. Our massages were amazing... neither of us could move for hours and slept so well afterwards! Highly recommended. More

The only place where you can really find this kind of service in such a high quality. The prices (of the accommodation/stay and th services as massages etc) are quite expensives, but it really worth if you are looking for relax in a pleasant atmosphere. More

Thank you for your kind words, we are really happy to hear you enjoyed your time at our spa! Just a small correction: we don't have hotel facilities, we are just a 'day spa'. We do however offer 3 and 5 days spa packages, including accommodation in one of the many nice pousadas in Paraty. Hope to see you back... More

“Relaxing”

Reviewed November 25, 2011

I really enjoyed my 30 - or was it 45 I don't know - time just passed by very nicely :-) minute Aurvedic massage. It loosened up my knots and prepared me for my long return trip in Italy. I wish I had done a yoga session too but I only came around to visit the Spa on my last... More

Thanks for your kind words! Your interest in spa + yoga was heard a few times, and we recently introduced the 'Goa Spa' with a yoga session, a traditional Thai Yoga massage and finishing off in a Japanese wooden hot tub (ofurô)... Hope we'll see you again soon! More

“A great way to pamper and relax”

Reviewed October 25, 2011

Wonderful, fresh interiors and professional staff. Impressed of the pick up from a meeting point to the dayspa. Cons- therapist didn't ask for feedback if pressure given was ok during massage and the oil was no wiped off at the end. A nice tea would be a nice idea to finish off the experience. More

Reviewed October 23, 2011

I visited the Shambhala spa while visiting Paraty for Semana Santa in April 2010. I was in need of a bit of care and attention after long flights and bus rides with my backpack, and spotted the flyer in my local Pousada. I'm a reasonably regular Reiki recipient, so went for the Khi package. I wasn't quite sure *where* the... More
