Bali has transformed into more than just a famous tourist place. The island is also famous for having lots of affordable and great spas. The high demand for massages and spas on the island triggers Balinese people to make spas one of the famous tourist attractions. There are various types of spas that you can choose from, from luxury to cheapy cheap. Knowing the type of spa in Bali is important to avoid choosing the wrong place.
Visiting a spa in Bali can be the best thing that you do on the island or the worst if you pick the wrong place. This can be because of the place and also the therapist. The cheapest spa and massage on the island, perhaps, is the salon spa. There are some hair salons and hairdressers which also offer massage and spas. This kind of spa usually does not fully cater to your privacy because they only use spa tables in a room with silk curtains. This kind of spa is not a fake spa. It is just they do not have much privacy during a massage session. When you go to the hair salon and then get offered a spa or massage, you can guess that it must be this kind of spa.
The Difference with a real spa
In Bali, a spa treatment is just spa and there is nothing sexual about the treatment. Most spa therapists are fully trained women. The real spa such as Jaens Spa, a spa near Ubud, respects customer privacy the most. They have a private room for massage and shower and also use disposable towels and bed sheets to maintain hygiene. Besides the treatment, they also create a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere at the spa to calm your senses. The therapists in Jeans Spaare also professionally trained and speak a little bit of English. For a better experience, you can also make an online booking through their official website.
