What to expect
Your guide collects you mid-morning and drives you to Ubud's spa complex, where you'll soak in a flower-filled bath before receiving a traditional massage—ninety minutes of focused bodywork. After freshening up, you'll head to Tirta Empul, a water temple where you wade into cool, crystalline pools fed by natural springs. Locals and visitors bathe alongside you in designated areas; respect the spiritual nature by following posted etiquette. Lunch happens between these two main activities, giving you time to reset before the temple visit.
Good to know
Bring a change of clothes and a plastic bag for wet items. The spring water is cool year-round. Modest swimwear is expected at Tirta Empul; sarongs are available if needed. Bring cash for any additional tips or purchases. The schedule can shift depending on traffic and your hotel's distance from Ubud.
