Bali doesn’t hold back when it comes to incredible spas, and I’d know – I’ve spent the last few years trying out as many as possible. The Island of the Gods is renowned for its impressive wellness culture, a place where massage is practically medicinal, and aromatic herbs and spices make up the ingredients list in all kinds of treatments. The beautiful backdrops of this island make Bali’s best spas even more of an experience, with views of rice fields, active volcanoes, black sand beaches, and rainforests from your massage bed. Heading to Bali and ready for a little R&R? Read on for all of the best spas in Bali!
