COMO Shambhala Singapore is the brand's urban wellness flagship, occupying a 9,000-square-foot fourth-floor space within COMO Orchard in the heart of Orchard Road. Founded in 1997 as an intimate yoga studio, it has since grown into 16 spas across nine countries, and the Singapore flagship was designed by Milan-based architect Paola Navone, reflecting the flow and palette of healing water throughout the space. The centre's approach integrates gut health and body composition diagnostics with functional fitness training, yoga, Pilates, hot and cold therapies and hands-on healing, positioned as a place for long-stay commitment rather than one-off treatments, offered through single classes, one-day Wellness Packages and multi-day Wellness Paths.
Movement is the foundation of the offering, with more than 70 classes taught weekly spanning yoga, mat and reformer Pilates, and private Gyrotonic sessions. A partnership with Flex Studio, described as Asia's leading Classical Pilates studio, brought the Founder's Pilates Series to the flagship, with elite instructors teaching private classes that honour Joseph Pilates' original teachings. The centre's gym is outfitted with over 20 types of strength and functional training equipment, including Eleiko weightlifting gear, and physiotherapy is available in-house through a partnership with SCA, supporting clients returning to sport with a personalised, data-driven approach.
On the more clinical end, COMO Shambhala has built out a suite of science-backed recovery technologies, including a Red Light Therapy Room, Contrast Therapy Rooms with infrared saunas and ice baths, and an Oxygen Therapy Space offering hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Two private rooms house a Brass Monkey ice bath — described as the world's first to make its own ice sheets — paired with a Sunlighten infrared sauna. Gut health is a particular area of focus, anchored by the Good Gut Programme, a science-informed approach to decoding the individual microbiome, complemented by a four-day, three-night digestive reset cleanse menu from the COMO Shambhala Kitchen. Massage and facial treatments round out the offering, including the COMO Shambhala Microbiome Facial, which uses a proprietary blend of pre- and post-biotics, all set against binaural soundscaping and signature scenting designed to reinforce the sense of calm within an otherwise bustling commercial district.
