The cost of a spa or a 1-hour massage in Bali varies depending on the treatment, experience and location.

It can range from as low as Rp. 100,000 for a 1-hour massage (approximately USD $6.50) in a simple affordable spa along the streets of Seminyak to more than Rp.1,500,000 (approximately USD $100) for a luxurious spa experience that includes head-to-toe pampering such as massages, body scrubs, flower baths, foot baths, facials and so on.

Ultimately, it depends on what you are looking for – are you looking for a quick fix for your aching shoulders and feet but with a limited budget? Or are you planning to splurge for a special occasion or self-care pampering?

Regardless of which, you will definitely find something suitable in Bali.

How much should you tip at a spa in Bali?

Tipping is not compulsory in Bali, but if you are happy with your therapist’s services, you can tip them 10% to 20% of the total cost of the massage. They would appreciate it, especially if you are visiting a more affordable spa, where the therapists might not be paid as much in wages.
