Traditional Balinese Massage
Bali's famous full-body massage — from US$ 10 an hour
A traditional Balinese massage is one of the island's great affordable pleasures. Using warm coconut oil, gentle stretching, long strokes and firm acupressure, it eases tension from head to toe — and at neighbourhood spas it often costs just US$ 10–25 for a full 60–90 minutes. It's relaxing rather than deep-tissue unless you ask for more pressure, and it's available everywhere from simple local parlours to five-star resort spas.
