Spa at Flying Bamboo with Dining Included at Botanist

Ubud knows how to slow you down. This spa-and-dining package pairs a calm, clean setting with a 60-minute aromatherapy massage built for serious relaxation. The only real consideration: private transportation is not included, so you’ll want your own plan to get there.

I like that you’re not just buying a massage. You also get pool access, a foot ritual, a mini facial, and then a meal at Botanist (lunch or dinner) that matches the whole wellness vibe, plus a welcome drink and a post-treatment juice with Balinese cake. If you want alcohol, plan on paying extra.

Key things to know before you go

• Short, focused 2.5-hour reset with foot ritual + massage + mini facial
• Pool time included, so you can arrive early and stay a bit after
• Botanist Restaurant meal is built in as a set lunch or dinner
• Alcohol is extra, not part of the package
• Small group size (up to 10), which usually means a calmer flow
• Dietary needs can be handled (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and more)

Flying Bamboo Spa with Botanist dining: what you’re really buying

This is a “wellness day, but not a full day” kind of experience. In about 2 hours 30 minutes, you get a sequence that starts with relaxation and ends with a meal. The spa side is detox-themed in spirit, with treatments aimed at purifying your body and soothing your mind. It’s not a medical detox program, but it is clearly designed as a reset: slow down, loosen up, then refuel.

The big value is that dining is not an afterthought. Your package includes a special set lunch or dinner at Botanist, paired with the timing of your treatments. That matters because you’re less likely to end up rushing, snacking badly, or eating far off-plan from your spa rhythm.

And you get the kind of service details people rave about: a calm, clean atmosphere and therapists who take their time. Names you’ll often see associated with great sessions include Cita, Tari, Santi, Dia, and Chitta, and the consistent theme is professionalism plus attention to comfort before and after treatment.

The flip side is logistical: private transportation isn’t included. It’s near public transportation, so it’s workable, but you’ll still want to think through your ride.

Where the experience starts: Botanist Restaurant Ubud

The meeting point is Botanist Restaurant Ubud (Kelabang Moding, Banjar Bentuyung, Kecamatan Ubud, Kabupaten Gianyar, Bali 80571, Indonesia). Your experience also ends back at this same location.

Why that matters: Botanist is right there as your anchor. You’re not crossing town after your massage hoping you can find lunch in the right mood. It’s one stop, one flow, and it makes planning easier.

You’ll also have a mobile ticket, and confirmation happens at booking time. In other words: you don’t need a complicated checklist to show up.

Arrival, pool access, and the welcome drink

When you arrive, you get access to the pool area and a welcome drink. This is one of those “small” inclusions that changes the whole experience.

Pool access gives you a soft landing. Instead of walking straight into treatments, you can settle into the space, slow your breathing, and shift out of travel mode. The welcome drink is part of that same rhythm—hydration and calm right at the start.

Practical tip: if you plan to use the pool, wear something easy to move in and keep a light cover-up handy. Also, check on what the spa provides for pool use (towels and such) so you’re not scrambling later.

Foot ritual: the first real step toward relaxation

The spa program begins with a Flying Bamboo Foot Ritual. This is a smart opener. Foot rituals can help signal your body that the day is changing gears. It’s also a gentle way to release tension before you go into a full-body massage.

In a short spa window like this, the foot ritual helps set you up for better results. You’re not just going through motions—you’re giving your body time to “arrive” before the main treatment.

And because this package includes multiple touchpoints (massage, facial, then drinks and cake), the foot ritual acts like the start of a paced sequence, not a random add-on.

Harmony Renewal aromatherapy massage (60 minutes)

The centerpiece is a Harmony Renewal Aromatherapy Massage (60 minutes). This is where most of the relaxation payoff happens.

Why aromatherapy is a big deal: scent is often tied to how quickly you mentally clock out. Even if you’re not chasing any specific fragrance, the idea is to create a calming atmosphere that supports the physical work of the massage.

From the feedback patterns, the therapists consistently get credit for being professional and attentive, and people talk about leaving feeling deeply relaxed and refreshed. Names that show up with standout experiences include Cita and Tari, plus others like Santi and Dia when it comes to excellent massage and supportive service.

What you should know as a planning point: sixty minutes is long enough to feel like a full massage session, but it’s also short enough that you won’t lose the rest of your day. That balance is part of why this package works.

Mini facial (30 minutes): hydration in a busy world

After the massage, you move into a Mini Facial (30 minutes). This is a practical inclusion, especially in Ubud’s climate where your skin may feel dry or travel-stressed.

A mini facial isn’t trying to be an hour-long skin treatment. It’s meant to refresh and hydrate you, giving you that post-spa “clean and comfortable” feeling. The best part is you get it while you’re already in relaxation mode, so it doesn’t feel like an extra chore you squeeze in after everything else.

A facial can also make your day feel more complete. Massage loosens the body; facial care helps you look and feel refreshed, which is a real mood boost when you’re traveling.

If you’re skincare-sensitive, consider letting your therapist know. The package description doesn’t get into specific product types, so asking about what’s used is a good move.

Post-spa refreshments: juice and Balinese cake

Once the treatments are done, you get seasonal fresh juice and Balinese cake. This is the “cap” that ties everything together.

It’s not just snacks. The timing helps you re-hydrate and settle your body after massage and facial work. And Balinese cake adds a local touch that makes the spa feel connected to Bali, not like an imported service.

If you’re the type who hates eating immediately after a treatment, pace yourself. You can enjoy the juice and cake, then let your meal at Botanist come later in the same calm rhythm.

Botanist Restaurant set lunch or dinner: eating in the right mood

The package includes Lunch Special set lunch or dinner from Botanist Restaurant. This is where value really shows, because spa-only deals often leave you hunting for food afterward.

From a traveler’s point of view, this is excellent planning:

• You don’t need to decide where to eat while you’re relaxed and hungry.
• Your meal timing matches your treatment flow.
• You get a built-in local dining moment without added hassle.

Dietary accommodations are also supported. You can request vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and other needs by indicating them at booking. That’s a big deal for people who don’t want to gamble with random menu options.

Alcohol isn’t included. If you want a drink with your meal, you’ll pay extra. That’s not unusual, but it’s worth noting so you don’t get surprised by the bill.

Leisure time and pool hangout: make it feel like your day

After the treatments, you can keep relaxing by the pool or use other hotel amenities at your leisure. Even with a packed schedule, having that open time helps.

This matters because the best spa experiences aren’t only about the treatment. It’s also about what happens after—when you’re not rushing out the door to prove you had a great time.

If you’re pairing this with other Ubud activities, plan a slower next step. Think short, low-stress plans right after your spa. You’ll enjoy your day more than if you stack this right before a long excursion.

Timing, group size, and why it feels calmer than big tours

This experience runs about 2 hours 30 minutes and has a maximum of 10 travelers. That smaller group size is a practical advantage. It reduces waiting and keeps the atmosphere steady.

Also, because the pace is structured (foot ritual → massage → facial → refreshments → meal), you’re less likely to end up lost in the shuffle. Smaller groups tend to mean you get more consistent attention.

If you’re trying to fit wellness into a tight Ubud itinerary, this duration is ideal. You still have time to explore afterwards without feeling like your whole day is gone.

Price and value: $137.89 for a full mini “reset day”

At $137.89 per person, this isn’t a budget add-on, but it also isn’t an all-day luxury splurge. You’re paying for a full package with:

• Flying Bamboo foot ritual
• 60-minute aromatherapy massage
• 30-minute mini facial
• Welcome drink
• Juice + Balinese cake after treatment
• A set lunch or dinner at Botanist
• A guide included

That’s what makes the price feel reasonable. You’re not separately pricing massage + facial + meal. Even if you’d normally buy lunch anyway, the included dining reduces the “hidden” cost of spa time.

Compared with booking each part solo, the package format is simpler. And the included meal timing is a small but real quality-of-life upgrade.

Practical tips for getting the best experience

Here are the things I’d plan for based on what this package includes and what people emphasize:

• Go in ready to relax. This is a calm setting with a sequenced flow. Don’t schedule something intense right before it.
• If you care about dietary needs, request them at booking. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free are supported, but you need to flag it early.
• Skip alcohol expectations. Alcohol is available, but not included—budget for it if you want it.
• Use pool time if you can. The pool access isn’t just a perk. It’s part of the transition from “travel day” to “spa day.”
• Be clear about preferences. If you’re sensitive to scent or prefer lighter pressure during massage, tell your therapist.

One more note: confirmation happens at booking time, and the experience ends back at the meeting point. That makes it easier to anchor your schedule around a known location.

Cancellation and flexibility, in plain terms

If plans change, you can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours in advance of the experience start time. Changes within 24 hours aren’t accepted, so set a reminder for the day before. Cut-off times use local time.

Should you book Flying Bamboo Spa with Botanist dining?

I’d book this if you want a short, high-reward wellness reset in Ubud. It’s especially appealing if you:

• want a real massage + facial combo without spending extra time arranging dining,
• like calm, attentive service,
• care about dietary options (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and more),
• and prefer a smaller, more controlled experience (up to 10 people).

I would think twice if:

• you don’t have an easy way to get there since private transportation isn’t included,
• or you’re looking for a longer spa day where every hour is unstructured.

Overall, this is a smart pick for travelers who want to feel noticeably better by the end of the session—relaxed, refreshed, and fed—without turning Ubud into a logistics puzzle.
