Where the Lake Holds Still
Shambala Holistic & Retreat Centre sits alongside the shores of Upper Lough Erne, a sanctuary carved from the landscape of Co. Fermanagh, where the water is calm and the pace of the world slows to match it.
Founded by Sukhada Smith-Repass in 1999, Shambala has offered holistic therapies, residential retreats, sound healing and yoga to guests from across Ireland and beyond for over 26 years.
Every session and every retreat is rooted in genuine practice, treating people as individuals and welcoming guests from Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, and further afield.

The Setting
Upper Lough Erne, Co. Fermanagh
Shambala sits on the banks of Upper Lough Erne, one of Ireland’s most beautiful and least-visited landscapes. The lake is a constant presence: visible from the yoga space, audible from the treatment rooms, and steps from the front door.
We are 20 minutes from Enniskillen, 40 minutes from Cavan, and accessible from Dublin and Belfast within two hours.
The border is crossed without formality, guests from the Republic are welcome, and we price in both currencies as a matter of course.Plan Your Journey
Sound Healing · Northern Ireland
What Is a Sound Bath?
A sound bath is a meditative experience in which you are immersed in the resonant tones of Tibetan singing bowls, crystal bowls and gong. You lie down, close your eyes and let the sound do its work.
The vibrations invite a deeply relaxed, meditative state, reducing stress, easing anxiety and restoring the body’s natural equilibrium.

What People Say
One of the most restorative weekends of my life. The setting is extraordinary, Sukhada’s energy is calming, and the sound bath was unlike anything I’ve experienced.
I came for a massage and left having booked a retreat. The Himalayan salt stone treatment was exceptional. Sukhada has a gift.
Our corporate team left completely transformed. The combination of yoga, forest bathing and the Lough Erne setting created something no conference room ever could.
