Ubud: Couple Spa Treatment with Bath Ritual & Sparkling Wine
Book on GetYourGuide →Operated by Tanah Gajah, a Resort by Hadiprana · Bookable on GetYourGuide
A spa date that feels private from the first sip. This couple treatment pairs a private terrace welcome with rice paddy views, then moves into a 60-minute Ayuverdic Abhyanga massage and ends with a love bath ritual topped with rose petals, sparkling wine, and canapés.
I especially love the setting: your suite faces the fields, so even the quiet moments feel like a break from Ubud noise. I also like the pacing and add-ons—massage, scrub, then the love bath—so you’re not just paying for a single service. One drawback to plan around: this is designed as a 2-hour experience, not a long half- or full-day spa day.

- 60-minute Ayurvedic Abhyanga massage using organic essential oils

Entering Tanah Gajah’s couple-spa flow (and why it feels special)

This is a “two of you” kind of spa experience at Tanah Gajah, a Resort by Hadiprana. The overall feel is intentionally intimate: you’re not sharing a room with a big group, and you’re not rushing through stations. The biggest win for me is that the spa doesn’t just offer treatments—it gives you a sequence that feels like an evening ritual.
The private room setup matters. A terrace view of rice paddies changes the whole mood. You’re more likely to slow down when you can look out at something peaceful instead of staring at indoor walls. And because you start with a welcome drink and a foot ceremony, you ease into the experience instead of arriving and immediately getting undressed in silence.
Just note that this is not marketed as a full-day immersion. If you’re hoping to spend your whole afternoon being pampered, plan for a shorter slot and consider pairing it with another activity afterward.

The welcome drink and foot cleansing ceremony on the terrace

You’ll meet at The Spa at The Chedi Club Tanah Gajah. It’s smart to arrive about 15 minutes early so you can settle in without feeling rushed.
Your first moments happen on the suite terrace. You’ll receive a welcome drink, then there’s an aromatic foot cleansing ceremony. The practical purpose is simple: it helps reset you before the massage. Your feet are treated with an aromatherapy polish, which also signals the tone of the whole session—slow, sensory, and meant to feel ceremonial.
What to look for here:
- Take a moment before the first treatment to actually enjoy the paddy-field view.
- If you’re the type who gets cold easily, ask about blankets or warmth before the massage starts, since you’re outdoors or semi-outdoors for parts of the flow.
This is the kind of start that makes the rest of the spa feel more “yours,” not just another appointment.
The 60-minute Ayuverdic Abhyanga body massage

Next comes the main event: a 60-minute Ayurvedic Abhyanga massage. Abhyanga is typically known for a full-body massage with nurturing, oil-based techniques. In this experience, they use organic essential oils, which is a key detail because it changes the scent and feel of the massage rather than relying on generic lotion.
For you, the value of this massage length is that you get past the quick-relax zone. A longer session means there’s time for deeper work and for your body to actually drop out of travel tension. For many couples spas, the massage can feel like a warm-up. Here, the 60 minutes is the center of gravity.
A couple tip: go in with low expectations for nonstop conversation. The whole design supports quiet focus—so if you both settle into the same calm rhythm, you’ll likely enjoy it more than if you treat it like a chat over dinner.
Also, languages offered are English and Indonesian, so you should be able to communicate comfortably about your preferences during the treatment.
Body scrub afterward: why exfoliation is a real upgrade

After the massage, you’ll move into an exfoliating body scrub. This part is easy to underestimate if you only think about massages as the “main service,” but scrub can be the difference between feeling temporarily relaxed and feeling properly refreshed.
You can choose from a selection of organic body scrubs. That matters because scrub intensity and scent are personal. If you like something gentle and aromatic, you can opt for a milder option. If you want that clearer, smoother feeling afterward, you can choose a scrub that’s stronger.
What this phase is doing for you:
- It removes dull surface cells that build up during travel and daily routine.
- It makes the skin feel smoother, which often makes the whole day afterward feel more “put together.”
- It helps you feel clean without immediately needing extra products later.
Practical note: plan to wear comfortable clothes afterward. You’ll likely want something loose—especially since you’ve just had oil and scrub involved.
The love bath ritual: rose petals, semi-outdoor tub, and bubbles
The grand finish is the love bath ritual. This happens in an oversized semi-outdoor terrazzo tub, and it’s decorated with floating rose petals. Aromatic bath + petals is the obvious romance ingredient, but the practical side is that it’s a transition moment. After massage and scrub, your body is warm and relaxed. A warm bath ritual helps you stay in that state instead of feeling like you need to rush out and move on.
And then comes the included celebration: a bottle of sparkling wine plus canapés. This isn’t just a garnish. It’s part of the pacing—your “cool-down” is also your “celebration,” so you’re not rushing from towel to transport.
How to make the most of it:
- Slow down during the first few minutes. The bath works best when you let your body settle rather than treating it like a photo stop.
- Pace the sparkling wine. The experience is only about two hours total, so it’s easy to drink it quickly if you’re focused on the moment. If you want to actually remember the bath, take it at an unhurried pace.
- Eat the canapés if you’re comfortable. With wine involved, light food can help the experience feel better for longer.
Rose petals floating in a terrazzo tub is a very specific kind of atmosphere. It feels like someone designed the ending to be memorable, not just functional.
Price and value: what you’re paying for (and what you’re not)

The price is $207 per group up to 2. That means you’re paying for a couples-only setup and a full mini-ritual: foot ceremony, 60-minute massage, scrub, love bath, and the included sparkling wine and canapés.
Here’s how I think about value in this kind of experience:
- You’re paying for privacy and a dedicated terrace suite. A spa treatment in a shared environment doesn’t give you the same decompression.
- You’re paying for multiple services in one uninterrupted sequence. Massage + scrub + bath ritual is more “complete” than just getting a massage and leaving.
- You’re paying for the romance elements that other spa add-ons often cost extra for elsewhere—rose petals, sparkling wine, and canapés.
What’s not included is transportation. Hotel transfers are not part of the package, so you’ll want to handle that yourself. If you’ll need a taxi or driver anyway, factor that into the real total cost.
Is it expensive? In most cases, yes. But if you want a couples spa that feels like an event—not just a service—it can be worth it. If you’re the kind of person who likes sampling multiple smaller activities around Ubud, the short duration may feel like a tradeoff.
Logistics without the stress: meeting point and timing
You start at The Spa at The Chedi Club Tanah Gajah, with the address: Jalan Raya Goa Gajah Tengkulak Kaja, Kemenuh, Kec. Sukawati, Kabupaten Gianyar, Bali 80571, Indonesia.
Arrive 15 minutes early. This isn’t a big checklist item, but it prevents that awkward feeling of being seated for a ceremony while everyone else is already in motion.
Also plan your afternoon. Because this experience is about two hours, you don’t want to book something tightly after it that requires you to rush. I’d schedule a buffer of at least a little time so you can enjoy the post-spa glow instead of heading straight into traffic or another activity.
If you’re coming by ride-share or taxi, bring a little patience. Ubud roads can move slowly, and you don’t want to cut it close.
Who this couples spa works best for
This is best for couples who want a calm break and a romantic ending. It’s also a strong pick for anyone who prefers structured, guided relaxation. The ritual flow is clear: welcome and foot ceremony, massage, scrub, love bath with sparkling wine and canapés.
It’s also ideal if you like your spa experience to have a view. The private suite terrace overlooking rice paddies is a huge part of the payoff.
Who should think twice:
- People with limited mobility: the experience is not recommended for limited mobility and is not suitable for people with mobility impairments. The semi-outdoor tub and terrace spaces mean there can be steps or uneven areas.
- Pregnant women: not suitable.
- Children under 16: not suitable.
- Anyone planning to bring pets or fly drones: neither is allowed.
If you’re simply looking for a quick massage deal, this may feel like too much money for too little time. But if you’re trying to make one afternoon special as a couple, it has the ingredients.
Should you book this Ubud couple spa with love bath?

Book it if:
- You want private couple time with a sequence of treatments instead of one service.
- You care about the ending—love bath with rose petals, sparkling wine, and canapés—being part of the experience, not an afterthought.
- You’ll appreciate the rice paddy view from a terrace suite.
Skip it or reconsider if:
- You’re expecting a full-day spa. This is designed as a short, focused 2-hour ritual, so you won’t feel like you stretched your money into an all-day reset.
- You need accessibility accommodations, since it’s not recommended for people with limited mobility.
If you want one memorable, romance-forward spa event in Ubud without planning a complicated day, this fits nicely. It’s not trying to be everything—it’s trying to be a beautiful couple moment, end-to-end.
