A day spa in Ubud, with Japanese hands and Balinese ones
Somewhere between the airport, the rice terraces and the 6 am temple visit, your body kept the receipts. Give it an afternoon. Head spa first, massage second, matcha whenever you open your eyes.


The Japanese head spa
Your scalp has been under the equator sun, in chlorinated pools and inside a helmet. Seventy-five minutes of cleansing, steam and slow massage, done the way Japanese salons do it. Still rare in Ubud, which is exactly why we built the spa around it.

The flower bath
Petals, warm water and a massage side by side: the flower bath for two opens with Seraya Spa, our new building with four double suites and large bathtubs. Until then, couples, sisters and best friends book a Balinese massage for two in the head spa room.
Balinese hands for the rest
Balinese massage is long strokes, acupressure and warm oil, done by therapists who learned it here, not in a weekend course. Facials follow Japanese skincare logic: clean thoroughly, hydrate deeply, skip anything harsh. Nails are gel, done properly, so they survive the pool and the humidity.
Stay afterwards. That's the day spa part. The garden, the matcha bar and the quiet workspace are all on the same grounds, so the hour after the massage doesn't have to be spent in a taxi.

Questions people ask before booking
What does a day spa in Ubud include at SERAYA?
You book the treatments you want, back to back, and stay as long as you like afterwards: the garden, a matcha, the workspace if you need to answer two emails. Nobody hurries you out of the room at minute 61.
How long should I plan for a spa visit?
Two to three hours is the sweet spot. A head spa ritual and a 90-minute Balinese massage take about three hours with a drink in between. A package day with lunch and transport takes four to five.
What is a Japanese head spa?
A slow scalp treatment that started in Japanese hair salons: a double cleanse of the scalp under warm water and steam, then a long massage of the scalp, neck and shoulders. Most people fall asleep at some point.
Do you have treatments for couples?
Yes. Book a Balinese massage for two, side by side in our head spa room, or two head spas next to each other. The flower bath for two opens with Seraya Spa, our new building with private double suites.
Can I ask for a female therapist?
Yes. Say so when you book and we will confirm it before your appointment.
