10 Best Spas in Bali 

1. Soori Spa (Soori Bali)

Indulge in blissful serenity at Bali’s award-winning spa 

Get ready to indulge in a haven of tranquillity where your well-being takes centre stage. Soori Spa holds a deep belief in the power of holistic healing, recognising that true rejuvenation comes from within. This is why their spa is thoughtfully designed amidst a tranquil setting, offering an idyllic backdrop for your wellness journey. Picture this: a luxurious spa that lies on the edge of a black volcanic beach, with incredible views of verdant rice fields and the towering Mount Batukaru. Along with their specially curated deeply transformative spa experiences, Soori Bali invites you to embark on a journey of self-discovery, where the mind, body, and spirit find true rejuvenation and alignment. 

Bespoke massages tailored to your needs 

When it comes to massage therapies, Soori Spa aims to combine the benefits of both Asian and European massage techniques in a bespoke spa treatment tailored to your needs.  A standout treatment at Soori Spa is the Spirit of Soori Massage, a truly exceptional offering rooted in the concept of healing energy. Drawing inspiration from the Balinese concept of “taksu” or spirit,  this tailor-made oil massage takes you on a transformative journey of self-discovery, incorporating firm pressure and dynamic stretches. It allows you to reconnect with your body and inner essence, leaving you feeling harmonised and revitalised.

For those longing for a massage that leaves them completely renewed, the Deep Tissue Massage at Soori Spa is an absolute must-try. This treatment provides a comprehensive awakening of the body, blending various therapeutic techniques with fluid strokes of different depths and intensities. By skillfully applying firm palm, thumb, and forearm pressure, the expert massage therapists (we highly recommend that you engage with Devy and Tami!) release muscle tension and enhance joint mobility, resulting in a profound sense of relaxation and renewed well-being. 

At Soori Spa, each massage treatment is thoughtfully designed to transport you to a realm of healing and tranquility. Whether you choose the Deep Tissue Massage or opt for another option from their extensive menu, you can expect an unrivaled experience that nurtures your well-being. Elevate your relaxation to new heights by booking a stay at Soori Bali, where you can unlock an even more immersive and revitalising journey.

2. The Sacred River Spa (Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan)

Immersed in lush jungle greenery in the Ayung River Valley, The Sacred River Spa is a sanctuary for those who are looking for the perfect bliss. This spa is situated inside the award-winning Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan, so you can experience relaxing treatments and massages amidst an enchanting forest, with complementary vibrant paddy fields and a peaceful river as your view. 

If you have the time, you may opt for their multi-day spa programs that also include other wellness services like yoga, chakra ceremonies, Balinese spa rituals, life talks, and meditation. Their Sekala and Nisala 3-Day Package is especially a must-try as it helps to detoxify and purify the mind and body to create a naturally harmonious state of being. These spa programs bring a different type of healing to every guest – an inner glow that is found only from within. 

3. Ubud Traditional Spa

For more affordable spa treatments, head over to the Ubud Traditional Spa. You can already get a Balinese Reflexology treatment for as low as IDR170,000+ (or 10 USD)! What we really recommend, though, is their Ubud Royal Massage, which is super relaxing that it could pass as a massage fit for a royal family. Two massage therapists will be working simultaneously to provide you with the most blissful experience. 

Ubud Traditional Spa is located in the small traditional village of Payogan and is right next to the historic Pura Pucak temple that has been active since the 11th century. Although it is a bit far from the centre of Ubud, the spa takes care of its guests further by providing free transportation to and from Ubud for guests of two or more. 

4. Sundari Day Spa

Sundari Day Spa rivals the quality of massages you can get from spas located inside 5-star resorts. In fact, Sundari is one of the most awarded spas in entire Bali. They draw inspiration from the traditional Balinese philosophy of Tri Hita Karana, which encourages us to nurture a greater harmony with spirit, the environment and with one another. That said, Sundara’s spa treatments are a result of the combination of modern and traditional healing techniques with the use of natural products, ensuring absolute relaxation. Their Sundari Signature Massage is definitely a must-try!

5. The Bvlgari Spa (Bvlgari Resort Bali)

Bvlgari has always been synonymous with luxury so one can only expect the best from The Bvlgari Spa. Their spa menu is designed to offer the most luxurious and soothing treatments that integrate Asian and European approaches, which include the ayurvedic Balinese ritual, facial treatments, body wraps and Balinese massages. The best part? You can enjoy all these while overlooking mesmerising sea views on a cliff top! If you are on a Bali honeymoon, we suggest that you try the Bvlgari Royal Lulur for two, which consists of an exotic blend of indulgent therapies for couples seeking a complete retreat.

6. Spa Alila (Alila Villas Uluwatu)

Perched over the limestone cliffs of Uluwatu, Spa Alila is another relaxing spa in Bali to consider. This spa will pamper you with spa treatments inspired by ancient Asian healing techniques and age-old recipes. On top of that, Spa Alila offers a range of exercise, yoga and meditation classes for guests who seek to invigorate their senses. And if you want to elevate your experience further, you can book the Cliff Edge Spa Cabana, which is literally on the cliff edge. From there, enjoy a 120-minute treatment with a breathtaking view of the azure Indian Ocean, plus the relaxing sounds of birds chirping and the waves crashing below.

7. Zahra Spa 

If you are in Nusa Dua, make sure that you don’t miss out on a spa treatment from Zahra Spa. This spa may not look as luxurious as the others, but many customers love the service here. In fact, it is one of the top-rated spas on the island, which is not only because of its spa treatments, but also because of the friendly and attentive staff. Zahra Spa offers all sorts of spa treatments that are not too expensive, including those that are specially designed for couples. If you are nowhere near Nusa Dua, you may also opt to visit their branch in Uluwatu. 

8. Bodyworks Bali 

Bodyworks Bali does not look like your usual day spa. It has a gorgeous courtyard that looks like it was straight out of a film, not to mention the perfect blend of pink and turquoise on its Mediterranean-styled architecture! We highly recommend that you go there at least an hour before your appointment so you can take some OOTD shots for the gram. As for the spa treatments, Bodyworks Bali offers a variety of traditional massages, facials, waxing, hair and nail care. 

9. AYANA Spa (AYANA Resort and Spa) 

A harbour of wellness and serenity, AYANA Spa is the perfect place to create and achieve your wellness goals. The best spa experience here, though, is at Ayana’s signature Spa on the Rocks. Drift and dream away with their luxurious pampering treatments while perched on top of seaside rock, with the sparkling Indian Ocean as your view. You may also try getting Thalassotherapy, which is the therapeutic use of seawater and marine products to promote health, wellness, and beauty. The water massage is pure bliss!

10. Fivelements Bali

For a complete wellness experience, head over to Fivelements Bali, where you will be pampered with all sorts of spa treatments for the ultimate bliss. Nestled alongside the Ayung River, it is Bali’s most awarded wellness destination that seamlessly blends modern luxury with Balinese traditions, nurturing harmony among spirit, humans, and nature. For first-time guests, we highly recommend their signature Fivelements Retreat, which includes not only healing spas and body care rituals, but also wellness activities like yoga, healing energy sessions, fire blessing rituals, and so much more. Overall, it is the perfect retreat for regeneration, replenishment, and alignment.

We hope that our guide on the 10 Best Spas in Bali will help you find the best spa for the most relaxing vacation in Bali. If you found this useful, please share it with your friends and family!
