About the experience
Warm oil, a traditional touch.
Traditional Balinese massage grew out of Indonesian, Indian and Chinese techniques blending over centuries. Long, deep gliding pressure, acupressure with palm and thumb, light stretching — all with warm coconut or frangipani oil.
The session opens with a flower foot bath. Then ninety minutes of massage: back, legs, arms, shoulders and neck. A warm herbal compress can be added — cloth pouches of ginger, lemongrass and turmeric, steamed and pressed into the muscle.
The room is a bamboo pavilion open on one side to a tropical garden. Not a closed spa cabin; there are birds and wind in the background. A twin-table room is available for couples.
“Once the warm spice pouches meet the muscle, the rest of the day runs differently.”
Highlights
Three things to expect from this session
Long gliding pressure and thumb acupressure. Deeper than Swedish, less stretching than Thai.
Cloth pouches of ginger, lemongrass and turmeric, steamed and pressed into the muscle. The most effective part for a sore shoulder.
Not a closed cabin; one side of the bamboo pavilion looks onto tropical garden.
