Massage, Bali

Air Panas Banjar, natural hot springs, is a great afternoon activity if you are staying in Lovina, or a good tonic for acheing muscles after a trek through the jungle. Banjar is located about 15 kilometres from Lovina and can be reached by bemo or there are guided tours. The hot water flows into pools where you can sit and relax or stand under spouts, the mouths of 'naga', to get a massage. There is a restaurant at the pools where you can enjoy lunch or buy afternoon snacks. There is a small entry fee. Best time to visit is during the week as the pools are very popular on the weekend.

We did not want to pass up the opportunity for a famous Balinese massage but were not sure where to go, as there r so many choices. Our driver that we had rented during our stay took us to one of the less expensive places in Nusa Dua. Unfortunately, I cannot remember the name of the spa but it was a private one and not part of a hotel (will update if i remember the name). The spa was not overly luxurious or fancy but it was clean and the massuesses professional. We chose a couple's deal consisting of a 1 hr massage with scented oils and finishing with a flower bath. The tub was large as it is meant for 2 ppl. During our massage, a thunderstorm hit which was very nice & soothing to hear while having a massage. The girls didn't speak English but that was not a problem as the activity did not require talking. We chose to tip them at the end for a job well done although this is not obligatory.
A very soothing & romantic experience. A must for honeymooners!

I would recommend this to anyone who is visiting Bali as something that has to be done ;OP Its cheap and its the Best Full Body Massage I`ve had in a long time. I wish the prices could be the same at home then I would go for a massage every week ;OP

I found a plce in Kuta that was quiet cheap as well ,its situated next to the Matahari. The price there was IDR 75 000 for 1 hour and a IDR 100 000 for 1.5 hours. So what you waiting for ;-)
