Luxury Spas & Traditional Treatments
In Bali, the spa experience is elevated to an art form. Traditional Balinese Massage uses a combination of gentle stretches, acupressure, and aromatherapy oils to stimulate the flow of blood and oxygen.
For the ultimate indulgence, try the Royal Mandi Lulur, a treatment originally created for Javanese princesses before their wedding day. It involves a full body massage, an exfoliation scrub made of turmeric and sandalwood, and a luxurious flower bath. Top-tier locations like Thermes Marins at Ayana offer this with thalassotherapy pools overlooking the ocean.
Yoga & Mindfulness
Ubud is the global epicenter for yoga lovers. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced practitioner, you will find a class that suits you—from Vinyasa and Hatha to Ecstatic Dance.
Studios like The Yoga Barn and Radiantly Alive offer daily schedules packed with classes. For those staying in the south, The Practice in Canggu offers world-class traditional Hatha yoga, while Udara provides spectacular aerial yoga with ocean views.
