The Meditation

When you think of Bali, images of lush rice terraces and vibrant temples often come to mind. But for those seeking genuine relaxation, a comprehensive spa experience like “The Meditation” offers a perfect escape from busy travel itineraries. Priced at $157.95 per person, this private, 5-hour journey packs in a variety of soothing treatments—from massages to facials—set in the tranquil environment of Frangipani Esthetics in Nusa Dua.

Two aspects we love are the customized nature of this experience, with only your group participating, and the combination of treatments designed to promote total relaxation. The 45-minute flower bath is a delightful highlight, offering a fragrant, calming moment. One consideration might be the duration, which is quite full: if you’re especially pressed for time, this might feel a bit indulgent. Still, it’s ideally suited for travelers craving a personalized day of pampering—perfect for honeymooners, wellness seekers, or anyone wanting a true Bali escape.

Key Points

• Personalized private experience ensures tranquility and undisturbed relaxation.
• Wide variety of treatments including massages, facials, and a flower bath provide comprehensive pampering.
• Tranquil setting at Frangipani Esthetics enhances the calming atmosphere.
• Good value for a full day of indulgence especially given the private nature of the treatments.
• Booking in advance is recommended, with most travelers reserving about 77 days ahead.
• Flexible cancellation policy with free cancellation up to 24 hours before the experience.

What Makes “The Meditation” Stand Out

This tour is not just about ticking off spa treatments but creating a balanced, deeply relaxing day where you can truly unwind. The location in Nusa Dua is ideal—peaceful, with a serene ambiance that encourages you to let go of stress. From the moment you’re picked up (offered as part of the package), the focus is on your comfort and privacy, making it a perfect retreat after days of sightseeing or beach lounging.

The itinerary is thoughtfully arranged. It begins with a 60-minute Abhyanga massage, an Ayurvedic oil treatment that melts tension away. Next, a 30-minute hot stone massage further relaxes muscles, followed by the Jamu body scrub—a traditional herbal exfoliation that leaves your skin feeling fresh. The 30-minute flower bath is a highlight, enveloped in calming floral scents, helping you unwind even further.

The second half of the experience continues with an aromatherapy facial—a lovely way to refresh your face and senses—before a choice between Shirodhara (a gentle oil pour on the forehead) or a foot massage, both perfect for ending on a serene note. The tour concludes with a crembath, offering nourishing ingredients, and a meal with fresh juice, making sure you’re well-hydrated and satisfied.

The Experience of the Treatments

The treatments are designed to cater to total relaxation and skin renewal. The Abhyanga massage is a signature Ayurvedic treatment, which we loved for its calming effect and the way the warm oils soothe both mind and body. The hot stone massage allows heat to penetrate muscles, easing any lingering tightness, especially after travel.

The Jamu scrub introduces you to Indonesia’s traditional herbal skincare—an invigorating yet gentle exfoliation that leaves your skin soft and bright. The flower bath isn’t just a visual treat; it’s an olfactory experience, with floral aromas that help melt away mental tension.

The aromatherapy facial is a classic spa treatment, but here, it’s enhanced by Bali’s natural scents, making it deeply relaxing. The stone massage or Shirodhara offers relaxing options—while Shirodhara is a gentle, meditative oil drizzle that calms the nervous system, the foot massage provides a grounding, soothing ending.

The crembath rounds out the treatments with nourishing ingredients, leaving your skin feeling pampered. The included meal and fresh juice are thoughtful touches, ensuring you stay refreshed after your treatments.
