22 Best Spas in Bali

The best spas in Bali offer high-quality spa and massage treatments, with a level of luxury and service that goes to the next level.

Many of the treatments at Balinese spas are traditional, drawing from Hinduism, as well as Ayurvedic and Javanese influences. Popular spa treatments at Bali's spas include traditional Balinese massage, couples or honeymoon packages, body scrubs, flower baths, and much more. There is little wonder why visiting a spa is one of the top activities to do in Bali. Some of Bali’s most popular spas include Zahra Spa, Ubud Traditional Spa, Putri Spa, and Reborn Spa.

When choosing a spa in Bali, it's important to consider factors like location, treatments offered, quality, consistency, and pricing.

The overall cost at Bali's spas is usually very affordable, with basic massages or spa treatments costing between 100,000 - 400,000 IDR (≈$10-40 AUD) depending on the treatment. At some luxury resorts or high-end spas, treatments and packages cost as much as 120,000,000 IDR (≈$120 AUD).

In addition to the standalone spas and massage parlors, many resorts in Bali boast their own in-house spa services. These resort spas often complement their luxurious accommodations, allowing you to retire to your room or shower for dinner as soon as your massage is over. However, the overall quality of the spa treatments varies, and prices can go as high as 150,000 IDR (≈$150 AUD) per person at resort spas, so we recommend you do your research in advance.

In this guide, we provide a comprehensive breakdown of each of Bali's best spas, highlighting their unique features, advantages, disadvantages, overall costs, aesthetics, and atmosphere.

Tips for Visiting a Spa in Bali

Heading to a spa is not a difficult task in general, but some visitors wonder what to expect, or even find it intimidating to visit a spa in Bali for the first time. There are a few considerations for ensuring your massage or spa treatment is the best it can be. 

Below are general guidelines when visiting spas in Bali: 

• Decide what kind of spa treatment you want. Choosing the right spa for your treatment depends on your own preferences when visiting Bali. Are you looking for a cheap massage walking in from the street, or are you looking for a higher degree of service and quality? Deciding this in advance helps you to match your preferences to your choice of spa. 
• Look up spa menus online.  Many of Bali's better spas have websites that provide menus explaining the treatment options. This makes it a lot easier to understand the type of treatment, as well as other factors like duration and cost. Common treatments at Balinese spa centres include massages, facials, reflexology, flower baths, scrubs, facials, manicures and pedicures. u 
• Dress for comfort: Wear loose, comfortable clothing to and from the spa. You'll be provided with a robe or sarong during your treatment
• Leave Valuables At Home: It's best to leave any valuables at your hotel in the safe, rather than bring them to a spa. Jewelry sometimes needs to be removed for spa treatments, and doing so at home before you arrive  saves you the stress of potentially losing a precious item.
• Stay Hydrated: Spea treatments sometimes last hours, and your treatment won't feel as good if you get dehydrated. Most spas offer water or tea on arrival. 
• Communicate your preferences: The staff at Bali's spas are usually very friendly and considerate, so it's a good idea to let them know of any allergies, sensitivities or specific areas you want to have them focus on during your treatmentt.
• Don't Tip If You Don't Want To: Tipping is not expected in Bali in general, and not for spas eiither. However, feel free to provide an extra 10% if you feel you have received a great treatment. 
• Consider Spa Packages: It is very common for Bali's spas to offer deals for packages, include couples and honeymoon packages. These typically involve a massage, a flower bath or scrub, and some kind of additional service like a facial, manicure or pedicure. It's not uncommon for spas to offer refreshments, as well as snacks like banana fritters or sweet potato with palm sugar - a local treat. 
• Book in Advance: The good spas in Bali are extremely popular, and bookings fill up during the peak tourist season. In many cases it's best to make spa reservations 1-2 days in advance if you have a particular place in mind. At many spas this is often done via Whatsapp, which is easier for tourists who generally have data but not local network service. 
• Organise Transportation: There are a few options for travelling to your chosen spa. One is to go via a rideshare service, like Grab or Gojek, which drop you at your destination. A second transport option is that some spas offer hotel pick-up, if you are locared in a reasonable vicinity to the spa (usually this is only for 2 people or more). The final option is to go on foot if the spa is located close to you already. 

 

What is the Spa Etiquette in Bali?

In general, visiting a spa in Bali is similar to what you can expect back home. Still it helps to know the local etiquette and customs especially when heading to a spa in Bali for the first time.

When you arrive at the spa, it's customary for the spa to offer a refreshment, provide a cold towel, or wash your feet. While you wait, you might be asked verbally (even given a form) about your desired treatment, and for massages you will often be asked to choose the oil used and to outline any parts of the body you'd like the masseur or masseuse to focuse on.

One important part of Bali spa etiquette is that Balinese culture is conservative, and it is expected you wear some degree of clothing during your treatment, especially for massages. Most Bali spas provide disposable underwear if you haven't brought your own, and draping is usually used to ensure discretion throughout the treatmet. In some cases, like during a flower bath, a robe is provided and staff let you know that they are leaving the room for you to undress.
