Bali is synonymous with spas, but the sheer number of options can be overwhelming. So we’ll make this easy: If you’re in Ubud, show some love to the locally owned Ubud Wellness Spa. The facilities are humble, but so are the prices. A blowout 4.5-hour package featuring a full-body massage (Lomi Lomi + Balinese + deep-tissue action), mini-facial, ritual foot bath, akar wangi herbal flower bath (pictured), boreh body scrub, honey-and-tamarind body wrap, luxurious aloe vera cream bath for your hair, immaculate manicure and pedicure (BYO nail polish, as the selection is limited), and light lunch costs about $50 USD. The staff is charming beyond belief and, most importantly, great at what they do. Your aching calves and sweaty, sunburnt skin will thank you.
