With its emerald green landscapes and the sounds of nature all around, there's no better place to bliss out than at these top Ubud spas...
We love Ubud for its culture-meets-nature vibes. And we often spend multiple days here, exploring temples and trekking through the jungle or rice paddies. But Ubud is also one of the best places in Bali for health and wellness. There are yoga studios with stunning views, award-winning vegan restaurants and six-star wellness resorts hugged by lush rainforests. And of course, Ubud is also home to world-class spa treatments and age-old rituals, found within the very best spas in Ubud.
In true Ubud style, these blissful spas and beauty studios come with sanctuary-like interiors, endless views, and a plethora of ahh-inducing treatments. From classic Balinese massages, to rejuvenating facials, mani-pedis and even romantic couples spa treatments – these top Ubud spas have got it all.
Top 14 Best Spas In Ubud
1. Ubud Traditional Spa
Ubud Traditional Spa is a family-run spa that specialises in authentic Balinese spa experiences. As soon as you book, you’ll receive complimentary transport (a minimum of two people within Ubud) to the traditional village of Payogan where this hidden gem is located. Then, it’s all about traditional spa treatments delivered by a team of expert therapists. The classic Balinese massages and reflexology are worth the trip alone, but we couldn’t say no to the four hands Ubud Royal Massage. We also tried the Rice Farmer Massage, which is inspired by the massages given by the wives of rice farmers. All of this at an affordable price too!

2. The Sacred River Spa
The mother of all luxury spas in Ubud is The Sacred River Spa. And it’s in a class all of its own. This six-star wellness destination breaks the mould of your typical Bali bliss-sesh by going beyond material pampering. It transcends the physical for a deep, inner focus on the flow of energy, balance and harmony from within – providing the kind of inner glow that no single beauty treatment could ever offer. The seven healing Chakra Ceremonies are the specialty here, which target each chakra individually. For example, the ‘grounding’ Muladhara root chakra treatment begins with a cleansing Balinese “kemenyan” smoke ceremony, serenaded by crystal singing bowls that are tuned to 432hz to align with Mother Earth’s own heartbeat. This encourages vibrational flow, before a deep and hypnotic full body massage. And before you go, don’t miss the transcendent Sacred Nap experience in the open-air bamboo shala.

3. COMO Shambhala Estate
COMO Shambhala Estate is a luxury Ubud resort that’s wholly centred around wellness. Spend a day here and you’ll be treated to the sounds of the rushing river all around. Inspired by these natural surroundings, COMO’s wellness offerings are designed with nature and culture in mind, from full-body traditional massages, to immersive wellness programs. Our fave is the Ayurvedic therapy designed by the in-house Ayurvedic doctor. Or COMO Shambhala’s personalised Wellness Path that focuses on prevention, rather than cure.

Holistic wellness is at the heart of Spa Alila. This Ubud spa is nestled atop a canopy of lush greenery, backed by some of the most professional therapists in Bali. It’s an homage to nature, using all natural ingredients like virgin coconut oil sourced from local villages in East Bali. The wide variety of massages and facials mix time-honoured therapies with a contemporary approach, and some are even specifically designed for mothers-to-be, kids and holistic healing. The Balinese Beauty Ritual, for example, includes a Balinese massage, mandi lulur (Indonesia’s traditional body scrub), a skin-smoothing body mask and a brightening facial. FYI – it turns out, mandi lulur is the secret to glowing skin for women all over Bali.

In fact, Serayu Spa’s signature spa treatments are so dreamy, they’re best enjoyed with a special someone. We love to disconnect and immerse in the all-in-one spa packages (our fave is the “A Day in Healing”), which combines traditional healing rituals with modern wellness practices. Think palm reading, a water purification ceremony, Chakra meditation and sound healing, finishing with a herbal massage and an invigorating yoga session. Or for a spa date to really remember, try the “Royal Intimate Couple” package. Yes, it’s as divine as it sounds. All of this, surrounded by tropical jungle. Bliss!

We love all of their Ubud-based spas, but our favourite has to be Jaens Spa Triloka on Pengosekan street, thanks to its calming interiors and gorgeous views.

Or how about the uber stylish mani-pedis that use OPI and a flawless Russian manicure technique? Our fave is the traditional four-hands Royal massage, and the Ultra-Calming facial. But next time we are coming back to try the high-tech INKA Anti-Aging facial to plump our sun-kissed skin.

A fragrant flower, fruit or spice bath tops off the experience…

The friendly staff greeted us with the warmest smile, and a foot soak right by the floor-to-ceiling windows with views of untouched greenery. We were then taken to a gorgeous treatment room, where we were pampered with the most relaxing aromatherapy massage. Psst – if you’re staying at this barefoot luxury hotel, you can book an in-room bath ritual (hellooo wine bath!), and turn your room into your own private spa.

The cosy, award-winning Sang Spa offers everything from traditional Balinese massages to dreamy facials and head-to-toe scrubs that left us glowing for days. We got rid of our knots with their signature Hot Stone Massage – it felt like a warm hug for our muscles. And we say, if you’re feeling stuck, go for an intuitive massage, a Tibetan sound healing or a seven-chakra crystal healing instead. Psst – they double up as a yoga centre, meaning you’ll get to indulge in breathwork and movement therapy, too.
