Bali Wellness Guide: Affordable Luxury Spa Treatments
Bali vacation
Thinking of heading to Bali? Indonesia is a blissful paradise, where you can escape from the hustle and bustle of a city. Soak up the beauty of the island. Enjoy beach days, shopping, eating and exploring. So let's turn that vacay mode on high!
After days of wandering around the tropical island, you might need a little ‘pick-me-up’ treatment. Hand on heart, who doesn't love the endless spa options Bali has to offer? A trip to an Island of Gods would be incomplete without a spa treatment in one of the local wellness retreats. It's Bali, the place of simple pleasures.😍
Exotic wellness paradise
You can barely walk down the street in Bali without tripping over a few spas. So ladies, let me share the following tips with you. Where to find affordable and satisfying wellness options that will blow your mind, not your budget!
Forget western-style retreats, this is something you will only find in Bali. Everything from traditional massages, luxury baths, glam mani-pedis to ayurvedic healing treatments. Are you ready for the ultimate relaxation?
Beji Ayu Spa, Ubud
Enter a world of zen gardens and Balinese sculptures while stepping through the doors. Sacred site of Beji was chosen for the spiritual power of its springs that help with healing. If you are leaning towards the spiritual side of your treatments, this is the place to be.
Overlooking rice fields, it's a real body and mind soothing paradise. And after the massage treatment, you will be treated once again. A cup of Balinese tea of your choice served with traditional banana fritters. Yes, please!
