Balinese massage comes from Indonesia, but its roots include Ayurvedic ideas from India and acupressure from China. It combines gentle stretches, skin rolling, palm and thumb pressure, and aromatic oils.
What makes it different
- More variety: in one session you will feel long strokes, pressure points and light stretches.
- Medium pressure: firmer than Swedish, softer than deep tissue.
- Energy focus: acupressure along the body's lines is meant to help you feel balanced and refreshed.
Who should try it
- People who find Swedish "too light" but deep tissue "too much"
- Anyone who wants to feel both relaxed and energised
- Guests who enjoy aromatic oils
The 75-minute advantage
Balinese massage is usually longer than other treatments because it covers so many techniques. That extra time lets the body move from alert to fully relaxed.
Before you book
Eat lightly 1–2 hours before, arrive 10 minutes early, and tell the therapist about any injuries so they can skip stretches on that area.
Try a Balinese massage when you want something different from your usual routine.
