I had some free time after lunch and was looking for a good spa to escape the afternoon heat. Hesa Wellness was in the vicinity so I walked over and asked if there was any available slot. They could accommodate me for a 1.5 hour treatment and I chose the 30min wellness with deep tissue massage as my body was feeling sore from the dirt bike riding yesterday. The cost was 715,000 IDR inclusive of tax. Swimwear was available for use for free. The wellness area offered a steam room, a hot pool and a cold plunge pool. Instructions were provided on the timings and sequence of use. Timers are also available at each station. When it was time for the massage, the masseuse came to fetch me and brought me to the massage room. The massage was excellent and the masseuse also took note to be careful with my elbow injury. After the massage, I could take a shower and change back into my clothes. I was then directed to a resting area where I was served hot tea and fruits. The staff checked on me then brought me my shoes which they had stored away. Overall, the service provided was excellent for the price and I was very satisfied.

Impeccable

Impeccable. What a treat! The facilities were flawless and the staff so lovely and attentive. I have a deep tissue massage with Annie and she was so skilled and I would say the best massage I've had in Bali 🥰

Insanely insane massage (positive) If you've had plenty of cheap massages at road shops, I highly recommend trying the 3-hour course on your last day before heading to the airport. It costs around 120,000 won including tax, so at first I thought it might be a bit expensive, but after getting a scrub, massage, and facial, I'm actually grateful that I got it for that price. + I recommend adding 50,000 IDR to switch to a deep tissue massage.

My husband and I came twice for a deep tissue massage and later the 3-hour spa package. Our therapists were Lely and Nesa who were wonderful for our massages on both visits. The spa packages felt very complete and we both walked out extremely relaxed. Additionally the facilities were very clean, smelled great, and the all the staff were friendly and welcoming. I appreciated the transparency in the pricing and the flexibility to make some small swaps to certain parts of our spa packages and and accommodate us for only massages on a day that we couldn’t do the full 3-hrs. I had a great experience and would come back again!

We found this spa based on reviews and after a lot of searching we landed with Hessa. The staff were so lovely and made our visit most accommodating. The steam room, hot pool and cold pool were incredible (from people who have used these types of things before) we really thought this set us up for our treatment. We then received our two deep tissue massages and our mini facials. We were both really happy with the quality of these and how beautiful the products were. At the end we finished with a surprise cake, fruit and tea. All up 2 hours for $150 AUD is incredible value! Please visit this place if you have the time. You will love it!

Best 3 hours of my life ❤️ Started with hot/cold plunge and steam room, followed by a body scrub, bubble massage and then a 60 mins deep tissue massage and 25 min facial treatment. The staff took care of me from arrival to the last minute. Tea and fruits to finish, it was a treat after a big week of wedding festivities!! Highly recommend and will definitely be back!!!

Me and my husband had the best deep tissue massage we’ve ever had in our lives. No notes. (We didn’t realise they had a cold plunge, a hot pool and a sauna which were included in our massage package, however they had trunks and bikinis for us to borrow so that we could enjoy these in the first 30 minutes of our session, which was such a lovely touch)

It was a wonderful experience!

It was a wonderful experience! A treat from start to finish. Everything was clean, tidy, and relaxing. I came in with a really bad neck tension and a terrible headache. I finished with the ability to move my neck perfectly and the headache is gone. I had a truly amazing Korean scrub, my skin was reborn, and a deep tissue massage: it made me feel brand new! Before I leave Ubud, I'll definitely be back for a Balinese massage! The girls were all fantastic! Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart ♡

Hesa Spa Ubud was an incredibly warm and beautiful tangent to my Partner & I’s trip. Amongst all of our diving, and climbing Mt Agung, my Partner wanted to organise a Couples massage for us, as a late bday gift, to end our trip on a high. We stumbled upon Hesa online, and could not have been more happy with our time spent there. We went from wanting a massage, to instead choosing a 3hr Spa Package - Balinese Bliss. Hesa was happy for us to swap the Balinese massage to a Deep Tissue massage each. The spa experience was grounding, calming, and increasingly therapeutic. Thank you so much to the warm ladies at Hesa & our two wonderful Spa therapists. We’re already talking about which package to try next time we visit Indonesia :) Thank you again, Bronte & Michael

Wonderfully relaxing from start to finish, with attentive, kind staff. We had a 30-minute soak/steam in the hot/cold pools and steam room, followed by an incredible 90-minute deep tissue massage. We were able to choose the strength of massage and scent of oil used, along with focus of the massage (sore spots on the body). Tea and fresh fruit at the end topped off a wonderful afternoon. We will definitely come again! Thank you.

Really great experience here

Really great experience here. We both got deep tissue massages and they were honestly some of the best we’ve had—perfect pressure and super relaxing without feeling too intense. We also used the facilities and everything was clean, well kept, and easy to enjoy. It made the whole experience feel more like a full spa day instead of just a quick massage. Overall, just a really solid spot in Ubud. Would definitely go back and HIGHLY recommend!!

The facilities are nice and clean. We did the steam, hot tub, and cold plunge before my treatment. They felt so good and got us ready for our massage. I had the Korean Zen treatment and my daughter did the Hamman treatment. Luh Mas and Annik were amazing! They did all the treatments. Relaxing and soothing. My skin feels so soft. I had deep tissue massage and it was great. The facial was lovely. My skin looks great! Thank you Hesa Spa! <3

We went for two deep tissue massages that were booked as 90 minutes. On arrival, we were informed that the booking actually consisted of a 60 minute massage plus 30 minutes of facility use. This information was placed at the bottom of the booking page and was not very clear, which felt a bit cheeky and could definitely be more transparent. That said, the staff handled it well. They explained everything calmly and were very accommodating, offering to change our booking to a full 90 minute massage with a price adjustment, which we appreciated. We were welcomed with a drink and allowed to use the facilities before the massage. This was a nice way to unwind beforehand. As we had not brought swimwear, they kindly lent us some so we could still enjoy the facilities. The facilities themselves were okay,well maintained and clean and they are perfectly fine for what they are. There is a steam room, hot and cold pools, as well as toilets and showers, all clean and comfortable. The massage itself was great. The therapists were strong and attentive. The pressure was well adjusted and we left feeling relaxed. We were offered tea and fruit at the end, which was a calm and pleasant way to finish the experience. Overall, a very relaxing experience with good treatments and friendly staff. With clearer communication on the booking details, it would be even better. We would still happily return

We had a wonderful experience here — we started with the sauna and then enjoyed a deep tissue couple massage, and everything was absolutely perfect. The therapists were very skilled and really knew how to work with deep muscle tension. We both left feeling relaxed, refreshed, and much lighter in our bodies. The spa itself is beautiful, calm, and very clean, with a lovely atmosphere that makes it easy to fully unwind. Starting with the sauna made the massage even more effective. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a high-quality spa experience in Bali. We will definitely be coming back.

I asked for the deep tissue massage with reflexology and it was amazing. My massage therapist Suanee was spectacular. I walked in with so much back pain and left feeling so much better. The plunge pool, steam room and hot pool were fantastic and the staff were all so lovely. I will definately be back again, it was such a wonderful experience.

A very nice place! Clean, pleasant, stylish, lots of amenities (like a shower before treatments). We had a massage and a hammam with contrast pools. The massage was excellent; a deep tissue massage is recommended. The staff is very friendly. The prices are above average, but the quality is commensurate with the quality.

Skeptical at first, as I’ve been to some of the other pricier spas in Bali and haven’t found them anything special, and left feeling as though I could have visited one of the cheaper ones for the same service. However after one hour deep tissue massage and 30 mins foot reflexology I have left floating on a cloud! The masseuse was AMAZING and on my next visit to ubud I will definitely treat myself again. Thank you so much 🙏

They are very accommodating to our last minute visit and gave us a couple room. Their massage packages come with the use of wellness facility, i.e. sauna, hot and cold pools. We opted for deep tissue Balinese massage which was executed very well according to our preference. The place is quiet and serene, away from the hustle and bustle. It's a nice treat for the body and soul. Highly recommended!

I had the best massage experience in Bali here. The cold plunge pool at the flange pool was so cold I could barely endure it for five seconds, but given the hot Bali weather, it couldn't have been better. On the other hand, the hot tub was so relaxing that I didn't want to get out. I received a Thai massage, and I was satisfied because they applied very strong pressure. Rather than simply applying force, they used detailed techniques; it was slightly painful, yet it made me feel sleepy. (I wanted the pain!)

Nice contrast therapy, only improvement would be if it had a dry sauna as well as steam sauna. Amazing deep tissue massage though, adapted for focus/preference/injury.
