Renew your energy and nourish your body, mind
and spirit in the peace and tranquillity of Shambala,
a retreat centre with a distinctive Buddhist focus.

Shambala (Sanskrit for Pure Land or Paradise) is a beautifully renovated country house, set amidst six acres of secluded grounds on the edge of Findhorn Bay in Moray, adjacent to a nature reserve. Moray is often called the Scottish Riviera and Findhorn Bay is known for its mild and sunny micro climate. 

Our calm and beautiful gardens with direct access to the beach of Findhorn Bay encourage you to free your mind from distractions and focus your attention on the beauty of the present moment.

"Thank you for your hospitality, care, trust and understanding.
I will be coming back to my second home very soon." - George, UK
