The Luxe Nomad introduces Nag Shampa Private Estate by Sam and Isabella Branson, offering a truly immersive experience that combines the essence of traditional Balinese hospitality with contemporary comforts. Located just outside of Ubud, Nag Shampa Private Estate is nestled in the lush landscapes of Taro Village, one of the oldest villages in Bali where the ancient rhythm of life, prayer and ceremony established centuries ago, still exists today. The Estate wears the history of its location gracefully to welcome you with the peace and serenity that Bali has long been known for.
At One with Nature
Sam and Isabella Branson set out to create a destination in itself and getaway like no other, where every detail is infused with intention by taking into account the rich culture and natural wonders of Bali as they breathe life into the lovingly curated space. “We wanted to create an environment where time slows down and where every moment feels meaningful—a space to breathe deeply, reconnect with loved ones, and rediscover yourself,” Sam explains. He envisions Nag Shampa Private Estate as a sanctuary for those seeking refuge from the ordinary.
Traditional Architecture Meets Modern Luxury
Nag Shampa, meaning “Incense of Love”, is constructed with natural and locally sourced materials to comfortably welcome stays for up to 16 guests in its traditional Joglo style Javanese architecture, which provides five spacious rooms and three traditionally built free-standing pool villas. Filled with eclectic and meaningful treasures, all dwellings are infused with warmth and style, encouraging guests to fully immerse themselves in rest and relaxation.
Where Wellness Reigns
With over one hectare to explore, Nag Shampa Private Estate is a living, breathing feast for the senses. Wander through its organic orchards and vegetable gardens, and delight in local produce destined for your plate. Discover your favourite spots for peaceful meditation or join together in its yoga shala, a haven of spiritual wellness. Stay active around its five swimming pools, each with its unique characteristics; The Istana Suite Pool with its private dining bale, the main pool which surrounds the impressive and inspiring yoga shala, plus three private pools for each of the private suites.
Taro Village: An Authentic Side of Bali
For guests seeking a deeper connection to the local culture, Nag Shampa Private Estate’s dedicated driver is ready to take you to Tegalalang Rice Terraces with its iconic tiered rice fields, and Tirta Empul Temple where guests can experience Melukat ceremonies, cleansing and purifying the mind, body, and soul before returning to the Estate to enjoy locally sourced delicacies prepared by its private chef.
This tranquil oasis is more than just a retreat; rediscover the Bali of old, where life flows gently at a slower pace, and every moment feels intimately connected to the earth. Find the freedom to let go of worries while the dedicated team takes care of your every need, from daily housekeeping and a butler service, to in-villa spa treatments that can be arranged upon request. Experience the perfect balance of luxury and authenticity.
