Wow, such great choices. I think Thermes Marins & Spa On The Rocks would have to be top of my list. Listening to the ocean at the same time as having a massage would be very relaxing indeed. :-)
Nothing says luxury like a diamond scrub facial! Without a doubt it would have to be Thermes Marins & Spa On The Rocks for me. Bali obviously has so much to offer but its spas definitely seem unmissable.
They all sound so wonderful. For a first time visitor, and not an especially regular spa-goer, is there any one of these that you would recommend over and above the rest? Thanks.
Oh we stayed at Royal Kirana on our honeymoon! The surroundings and the staff are all so lovely! Would go back in a heartbeat x
Looks lovely! In the process of planning my honeymoon in SE Asia including a week in Bali, this and your other articles are extremely helpful. Thanks!
Enjoyed reading your post on Bali, will be visiting Bali again soon & will definitely have to try one or two of these spas. Mango Tree Spa sounds amazing. Thanks for sharing this great spa guide.
Not so expensive and still very luxurious is The Bodyworks. It’s the oldest spa in town, it opened up when Seminyak was very undeveloped and almost nobody around! It’s been run by a German woman who has everything under control. It’s really awesome. It’s got this oriental vibe to it as well. Check it out when you are around!
The Riverside Spa at Maya looks amazing! To be in a soothing spa bath while having a beautiful panorama view of the ocean!
