The Island of the Gods is not only a destination for culture and travel, but also for leisure and luxury. From a signature “Bloody Mary” treatment to four-hand indulgence and 300-minute plus rituals, these establishments know luxury and impeccably deliver it to any leisure seeker in Bali.
Luxurious spa pampering and wellness therapies are taken to an unprecedented and new level at The St. Regis Bali Resort. Previously known as Remede Spa and serenely nestled in the midst of a koi pond, the spacious Iridium Spa at the resort is dedicated to creating exceptional experiences.
Inspired by the Indian Poet, Kabir (1398-1448), who wrote ‘the moon shines in my body”, a moon and butterfly theme runs through the spa facilities, both in the treatment rooms and the main walking areas where, through the magic of lighting, butterflies actually seem to gently flutter around, creating an extended atmosphere of calm and relaxation.
Iridium Spa
The Iridium Spa offers a comprehensive menu of facials, massage and body treatments, as well as full salon services including manicures, pedicures, make-up, waxing and hair salon combined with signature touches creating an indulgent spa experience. The highly trained spa staff recognise that each guest, face, and body is unique and therefore no two facials or massages are the same. The spa therapists customise each treatment to ensure you receive the most appropriate, beneficial treatment to meet your individual goals.
Customised massages are for relieving over-exerted muscles, or simply encouraging the mind and body to escape reality, incorporating specialty products and techniques essential to ultimate relaxation and rejuvenation. Massage therapists borrow from a variety of methods including, Shiatsu, Swedish, deep tissue and reflexology, enhanced with parafango to ensure the most complete massage treatment. The signature Lulur Experience of Indonesia includes gentle exfoliation with a paste of sandalwood, turmeric, ground nuts and rice.
Another signature ritual which pays homage to a timeless tradition is the “Bloody Mary”. This signature ritual pays homage to a timeless tradition. Refreshing with a jolt, the treatment begins with a stimulating tomato, pineapple and wasabi reviver followed by skin purifying vodka tomato and clay body wrap. A detoxifying massage and an invigorating tomato vermouth and mineral salt bath follows, after which you can feel thoroughly recharged and revived, ready for your freshly shucked oysters in coriander tomato water, served in the spa gazebo. This signature treatment is a definite must for the ‘spirited’ spa seekers.

The Spa at The Bvlgari Resort Bali
A unique space, exclusive treatments – based on traditional Asian traditions and techniques – are the distinguishing features of the oceanfront Spa at the Bvlgari Resort Bali.

The Spa features a prevalence of water ponds and large windows creating a blend of surfaces and chromatic harmonies to offer a modern and relaxing environment.
A unique concept of service and traditional Asian techniques – enhanced by modern practices in physiology and natural products – ensure the most personalised and attentive care. The Spa menu has been conceived to offer a complete range of Balinese, Asian and European therapies. Treatments offered include Bvlgari Signature Experiences, Balinese and Ayurvedic rituals, intensive facials, body wraps and holistic massages, provided by an expert staff of professionals.
