A Bali massage is a must-do for any visitor to the Island of the Gods. You can’t say that you’ve been to Bali without indulging in this one-of-a-kind, decadent head-to-toe body treatment! It’s a heavenly treat for the mind, body and soul, and comes with multiple health benefits that have been proven to improve mood and well-being.
What is Bali Massage?
The Bali massage uses a combination of techniques including rhythmic strokes that will lull you into a sublime state of bliss. Gentle but smooth strokes using the palms, thumbs and knuckles combined with pressure-point stimulation will relax the muscles, alleviate tension and pain, and stimulate the flow of blood. Trust us when we say you will emerge feeling even more refreshed and rejuvenated than ever.
The practice of pampering and self-care isn’t new to the Balinese. For thousands of years, the ladies of both Bali and the neighboring island of Java would indulge in ancient beauty rituals on a daily basis, enhanced with the use of natural ingredients such as sea salt, citrus, coffee, flower petals, herbs and aromatherapy oils. This is especially true for women of nobility. These days, the opportunity for self-care and relaxation is available everywhere and anywhere you look, with a myriad of treatments to choose from including full body massages, body scrubs, creambath for strong and healthy hair, reflexology, facials and nail care.
According to some sources, the intricate beauty treatments practiced by the Balinese and Javanese ladies today date back to the time of the Ramayana. It is believed that when Hinduism and Buddhism arrived in the archipelago, they brought with them the Ayurvedic practice of healing and wellness through touch and energy channeling.
The Balinese then adapted this ancient technique to create their own unique style that is so famous around the world. So it goes without saying that Bali is the best place to be if you’re looking to have a spa day!
