COMBO SHAMBHALA ESTATE - THE WANAKASA
The residence, set amongst the trees, overlooks, the river and
valley one hundred metres below.Its fresh, young atmosphere is closely integrated with the
forest with pockets of trees found throughout the buildings, maintaining a feeling of the
forest within. Extraordinary views and the soothing sounds of the Ayung River can be seen
and heard from every corner of this exquisitely bright and contemporary residence. A
semi-circular infinity edge pool mirrors the turn
of the river around the estate. |

The main living pavilion is supported by hug tree columns which
stretch to a height of two storeys. The impressive width of the bingkirai trees, 40
cm in diameter, and the seemingly unending teak floors and ironwood shingle roof give
guests the dramatic feel of living in the "ultimate tree-house". The holy tree,
which stands before the entrance, sits beside an altar, blanketed with offerings. Its
existence on the before the creation of Combo Shambala, and the importance of its mystic
history, dictated the entire design and building of the residence which was literally
built around the tree. |
That Wanakasa is a more contemporary
residence is apparent in its use of the wood-light-speckled tiger bamboo and over
150-year-old teak in the tree guest suites. Another feature is the green stone insets in
the terrazzo bath; it is same stone that forms the focal feature throughout the residence.
The furnishings are a mixture of local, Javanese
and Philippine pieces. |

The garden are very special in
Wanakasa, Species or heliconia, wild ferns and bamboo were planted not only for their
aesthetic beauty but for their contribution to the privacy of the residence. A variety of
plants and trees, such as coffee, were planted to lend their fragrances to Wanakasa’s
atmosphere.
