Ubud Spa Menu Guide: Treatments, Prices & What to Expect

Home › Blog › Ubud Spa Menu Guide: Treatments, Prices & What to Expect

Walking into a spa in Ubud and being handed a menu can be overwhelming. Some list dozens of treatments with little explanation. Others use vague names that tell you nothing about what actually happens during the session. This guide explains what a typical Ubud spa menu includes, how to interpret the different categories, and provides a complete breakdown of what Hesa Wellness Spa offers so you know exactly what you are booking before you arrive.

What a Typical Ubud Spa Menu Includes

Most Ubud spa menus follow a similar structure. You will usually see massage treatments listed first — Balinese massage, deep tissue, aromatherapy, and sometimes Thai or hot stone options. After massage, many menus include body scrubs, wraps, and facials. Higher-end spas add signature packages that bundle multiple treatments into longer sessions.

Prices on Ubud spa menus range enormously. A basic 60-minute massage at a street-level parlour might cost IDR 80,000 to IDR 150,000. A full programme at a quality spa center runs IDR 500,000 to IDR 1,500,000 depending on duration and what is included. The key is understanding what you actually receive at each price point, because a low headline price often means shorter sessions, shared rooms, or no facilities access at all.

Understanding Treatment Categories

The most useful way to read any Ubud spa menu is to think in three tiers: full treatments, basic treatments, and facilities-only access. Not every spa offers all three, but this framework helps you compare options across different venues.

Full or signature treatments are the longest and most comprehensive sessions. These typically run 2 to 3 hours and combine multiple modalities — a body scrub followed by massage, or a thermal circuit followed by a treatment. They represent the spa's best work and are designed as a complete experience from start to finish.

Basic treatments are individual modalities lasting 60 to 120 minutes. These are standalone sessions — a single massage type, a body scrub, or a reflexology treatment. They cost less and take less time, making them a good option when you want something specific rather than a full programme.

Facilities-only access is offered by spas that have thermal or hydrotherapy infrastructure. This lets you use steam rooms, saunas, plunge pools, or other facilities without booking a hands-on treatment. It is the most affordable option and appeals to visitors who want the wellness benefits of heat and cold exposure without a massage component.

Hesa's Complete Spa Menu Breakdown

Hesa Wellness Spa structures its treatment menu around the three-tier model described above. Here is the full breakdown.

Signature Full Treatments — 3 Hours, IDR 1,100,000 +10% VAT

Each signature treatment at Hesa lasts a full 3 hours and includes unlimited access to the thermal circuit (steam room, hot plunge pool at 39-41 degrees Celsius, and cold plunge pool at 7-10 degrees Celsius). The three options are:

• Korean Zen — A Korean body scrub followed by a full-body massage. The scrub removes dead skin using traditional Korean techniques, and the massage that follows works into freshly exfoliated skin for deeper absorption of oils.
• Hammam Adventure — Inspired by the Turkish hammam tradition. Includes a foam wash, body scrub on a heated stone, and a relaxation massage. The thermal circuit before the hammam opens pores and prepares the body for the scrub.
• Balinese Bliss — A traditional Balinese massage combined with the full thermal circuit. This is the most classic option, pairing authentic Balinese bodywork with steam and contrast therapy for a deeply restorative session.

Basic Treatments — 90 Minutes, from IDR 550,000 +10% VAT

Basic treatments at Hesa are standalone 90-minute sessions. Each includes access to the thermal facilities before and after your treatment. The menu includes:

• Korean Scrub — IDR 550,000. Full-body exfoliation using traditional Korean scrubbing mitts.
• Balinese Massage — IDR 550,000. Traditional four-technique Balinese bodywork with botanical oils.
• Aromatherapy Massage — IDR 550,000. Gentle massage using essential oil blends for relaxation and stress relief.
• Deep Tissue Massage — IDR 600,000. Firm, focused pressure targeting chronic tension and deep muscle knots.
• Hot Stone Massage — 120 minutes, IDR 650,000. Heated basalt stones combined with massage to release tension and improve circulation.
• Thai Massage — IDR 550,000. Assisted stretching and acupressure performed on a mat without oils.
• Boreh — IDR 550,000. Traditional Balinese body wrap using warming spice paste to improve circulation and soothe muscle soreness.
• Happy Feet — IDR 550,000. Reflexology-based foot treatment targeting pressure points on the feet and lower legs.
• Harmonic Balance — IDR 550,000. A holistic treatment combining gentle massage with energy balancing techniques.

Facilities Only — 2 Hours, IDR 300,000 +10% VAT

For guests who want the thermal experience without a hands-on treatment, Hesa offers a 2-hour facilities-only pass. This gives you full access to:

• Hot Plunge Pool — Maintained at 39-41 degrees Celsius for heat therapy and muscle relaxation.
• Cold Plunge Pool — Kept at 7-10 degrees Celsius for contrast therapy, reducing inflammation and boosting circulation.
• Steam Room — Herbal-infused steam to open pores, clear the respiratory system, and prepare the body for plunge therapy.

Every treatment tier at Hesa is available for couples booking side by side in the same session — there is no couples surcharge.

How to Read an Ubud Spa Menu

When comparing Ubud spa menus, a few distinctions are worth understanding. Treatments are generally categorised as either wet or dry. Dry treatments — massage, reflexology, Thai bodywork — do not involve water beyond the oils used. Wet treatments — scrubs, hammam, wraps — involve rinse-off products and often use a wet room or shower as part of the process. Knowing this helps you understand what to expect during the session and what clothing or preparation is involved.

The phrase "facilities included" on a spa menu means you get access to thermal or hydrotherapy areas as part of your treatment booking. At Hesa, all signature and basic treatments include full access to the steam room, hot plunge, and cold plunge pools. This is not standard everywhere — many Ubud spas charge separately for facility access or do not have facilities at all. When a menu does not mention facilities, assume the price covers only the hands-on treatment in a private room.

Finally, check whether prices include tax. In Bali, most spas add 10% government VAT on top of menu prices. Hesa lists prices before VAT and clearly notes the +10% so there are no surprises at checkout.

Choosing the Right Treatment for You

If you have 3 hours and want the most complete experience, the signature treatments deliver the best value — you get extended time, multiple treatment modalities, and the full thermal circuit. First-time visitors to a Ubud spa often choose the Balinese Bliss because it pairs a familiar massage style with the plunge pool experience.

If you are short on time or want a specific treatment, the basic menu gives you a focused 90-minute session with thermal access included. Deep tissue and hot stone are popular choices for visitors recovering from hiking or long travel days. Thai massage suits those who prefer stretching over oil-based work.

If you simply want to use the plunge pools and steam room without a treatment, the facilities-only pass is the most affordable entry point at IDR 300,000 +10% VAT for 2 hours. Many guests start with a facilities visit and return for a full treatment on another day.
