I’m so glad I stumbled upon Maya Spa through my endless search in Google just a day before my flight to Bali.
First, the reservation was seamless. Their staff were very responsive when I reached out via WhatsApp.
Second, my entire experience was stunning! I had some snacks first at the river café - good coffee and desert. I was also able to use their riverside pool which is so amazing! Thanks a lot to the friendly pool staff who helped take photos of me.
Third, the spa experience itself was UNBEATABLE. I got the Eat, Pray, Love package and it’s the best out of the 4 balinese massages I had in my entire stay in Bali, both Ubud and Seminyak (arguably even better than those I had in Bangkok). The therapist was very skilled, the facial was refreshing, and the magical jungle view of flower bath was so memorable! Really the most relaxing massage I had so far with the sound of the river and birds chirping at the background! 🥹🌸 I also bought some of their oils and fragrances which smell wonderful. Super worth it!
I want to gate keep this so bad but the amazing spa and hotel staff just deserve more love! ❤️ I wish I knew about Maya before I booked my accommodation in Ubud. Otherwise, I would’ve stayed here. When I come back to Bali again, this is definitely going to...
Read moreWas super impressed with both the stunning design of the facility as well as the high quality of service. I booked the 120 minute Jet Lag Recovery package with Yuni. Unfortunately due to Ubud traffic, I was a little late, but everyone was very accommodating and still provided full service. The whole place was clean with a warm and relaxing atmosphere that made me feel at peace and being able to hear birds chirpy and the sound of the stream made me feel somewhat connected with nature. The foot bath was a nice start as Yuni is nice and easy to talk to. Then she did my Balinese massage with the Jasmine oil and firm pressure I requested, and it was spot on. It was very relaxing and her techniques really helped to ease some of the tension in my muscles. I really enjoyed all of it, though surprisingly I especially liked the head massage portion towards the end, as it relieved a headache I had gotten earlier in the day. After the massage I showered off to remove the oil, and came out for my flower bath. It was truly dreamlike as they advertise. Sitting in the flowers watching and listening to the relaxing stream that goes by was really lovely. Thank you Yuni and everyone at the spa for a great time. I’ll be back for more, whether this trip or the next time I...
Read moreWhat an amazing experience, and a (relatively) hidden gem!
First step into Maya Ubud was amazing. This is the place that the spa was located within. The spa itself was located a 10-15 minute walk from the entrance of Maya Ubud (quite far in). We had a small bite at the river restaurant right beside the spa before heading in. (Do note to buffer for Ubud traffic time, as well as 15 minutes in advance for registration. - Would be nice to not have to rush into your spa!)
We got the 60 min soothing maya massage + 30 min foot massage + 30 min flower bath. I was expecting the massage at a spa to be light touches / strokes, but the petite masseuse did a good job in the strength of her strokes so that was good. The flower bath was also really nice especially given the lovely ambience of the room and the stunning view.
Lastly, just to add that there is a changing room (with basin and mirror) and then also an open-air shower room (with 2 showers + a toilet to shower after the oil massage and then again after the flower bath), both within the same room. Private easy access to these facilities made for it to be a very comfortable experience! Would...
