Spa at Flying Bamboo with Dining Included at Botanist

Flying Bamboo Spa with dining included is a smart way to slow down in Ubud. The package is built around a 60-minute aromatherapy massage plus a 30-minute mini facial, and it all flows into a set meal at Botanist. I especially like the calm, clean feel people write about, and the fact that you get little extras like a welcome drink and post-treatment refreshments. One possible drawback: the experience does not include private transport, so you’ll want to be ready to get yourself to Botanist Restaurant Ubud on your own.

The schedule is also nicely paced for a short wellness break. You start with pool access and a foot ritual, then you settle into the massage, finish with a facial, and finally you eat. I like that it is compact, around 2.5 hours, so it fits between temple hopping, art shopping, and rice-terrace drives.

If you’re the type who likes your spa time very structured, this one delivers. The main thing to think about is timing your lunch or dinner at Botanist so you do not feel rushed right after treatments.

Key points to know before you go

• Pool access and welcome drink: You start by easing into the setting before any hands-on treatment begins
• Foot ritual first: A Flying Bamboo foot ritual helps you reset before the massage
• Aromatherapy massage included: A full 60 minutes, focused on relaxation rather than quick polishing
• Mini facial as a closer: A 30-minute add-on to refresh your skin and wrap things up
• Set lunch or dinner at Botanist: Food is part of the package, with dietary flexibility available
• Small group size: Maximum of 10 travelers keeps the vibe from feeling like a production

Where Flying Bamboo Spa Fits Into Your Ubud Day

Ubud can be intense. Temples, markets, scooters buzzing around, and that constant feeling you should be doing one more thing. This experience gives you a reason to stop. It is not just a massage, it is a wellness block with a beginning, middle, and wrap-up.

The spa component is about 2 hours 30 minutes in total, and you also get dining included. That matters because a lot of spa offers in Bali feel like half a day on paper, but you actually spend extra time figuring out meals and transfers. Here, your food plan is handled by the package with a set lunch or dinner at Botanist.

I also like the small-group feel. With a maximum of 10 travelers, you are less likely to feel crowded in common areas. If you enjoy a quiet atmosphere, this is exactly the right setup.

Starting at Botanist Restaurant Ubud, Then Pool Time

Your experience starts at Botanist Restaurant Ubud, Kelabang Moding, Banjar Bentuyung, Kecamatan Ubud, Kabupaten Gianyar, Bali. The activity ends back at the same meeting point, so you are not left hunting for a ride after you are fully relaxed.

You begin with arrival time that includes pool access. You also get a welcome drink. That might sound like a small detail, but it changes the mood. It gives you a few minutes to get comfortable before therapists start the treatment flow. It also helps you shift from outdoors heat and traffic energy into spa mode.

This is also described as near public transportation. So if you are using Grab, a driver you hired separately, or other public options, you will have more flexibility than in places that feel cut off. Just keep in mind that private transportation is not included, so plan your route accordingly.

Practical tip: bring something simple for after the spa. You will likely want a light layer and comfy sandals once you leave. Your focus will be on relaxation, but you still have to move from spa to meal.

Flying Bamboo Foot Ritual, Then a 60-Min Aromatherapy Reset

After you settle in, the core spa rhythm starts with a Flying Bamboo foot ritual. Even though it is not the longest part, it sets up the entire session. Foot rituals are often where you feel the difference immediately: warm-up, circulation, and tension relief, without going straight to deeper work.

Then comes the main event: Harmony Renewal Aromatherapy Massage (60 minutes). This is the part most people care about, and the consistent theme in the experience is professionalism and attention. I like that the massage is framed as aromatherapy, because scent is a huge part of how relaxation lands. The goal here is not athletic pain-taming, it is a full body unwind.

You’ll want to go in with realistic expectations. Aromatherapy and “detox” themes can sound dramatic, but the experience itself is what matters: a guided, calm, therapist-led treatment that leaves you feeling reset. If you tend to get restless during treatments, do not worry. A one-hour massage is long enough to let your body settle, but not so long that it feels like an all-day commitment.

One extra note from the general praise: people often mention staff members by name, including Cita, Tari, Tita, and Chitta, and they describe therapists as careful and attentive. While you might not get the exact same therapist, the takeaway is clear: this spa places a lot of emphasis on how the session feels, not just how long it lasts.

30-Min Mini Facial Plus Post-Spa Refreshments

Next up is a mini facial (30 minutes). A mini facial is a smart add-on because it does two things. First, it helps you feel polished after the massage. Second, it gives your skin a “reset” moment right before you go eat.

The timing works well. You finish the massage, your body is already relaxed, and then you switch focus to your face. That handoff tends to feel smoother than doing a facial hours later when you are back to normal activity.

After treatments, you get seasonal fresh juice and Balinese cake. This is not filler. It is a gentle way to bring energy back into your day without going straight to a big meal while you are still in full spa calm.

Leisure time is part of the package too. After your treatments, you can keep relaxing, often by the pool or by using other hotel amenities. This is another underrated value point. Many spa deals give you a treatment and then push you out immediately. Here, you get space to land the experience.

Detox Theme Meets Real Food: Botanist Lunch or Dinner

Your package includes a special set lunch or dinner at Botanist Restaurant. The idea is that the meal complements the detox journey. Even if you ignore the wellness language and focus on plain comfort, bundling the meal is still a win. It removes a decision at the exact moment you might feel tired or relaxed enough to not want to think.

Because the meal is included as a set, you do not have to negotiate menus or worry about pricing. You simply show up and eat what is planned. That can be especially useful in Ubud, where menu options are plentiful but the best choices depend on what you want to eat after a massage.

Dietary flexibility is explicitly mentioned. You can request support for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and other dietary needs by adding them as special requirements at booking. I’d do that early. It increases the odds you get the right meal the first time, without last-minute stress.

Alcohol is a key detail: alcoholic beverages are not included. You can order alcohol as an extra charge if you want. So if you are planning a celebratory drink, budget for it separately.

Price and Value: Is $137.89 a Fair Deal?

At $137.89 per person, you are paying for more than one treatment. The package includes:

• Flying Bamboo foot ritual
• 60-minute aromatherapy massage
• 30-minute mini facial
• Welcome drink
• Post-treatment seasonal juice and Balinese cake
• A set lunch or dinner at Botanist

You are also getting a guided experience, and it is small group sized (maximum of 10). For me, the value comes from the combination. A lot of deals only cover the massage, then you still pay for lunch and you still figure out timing. This one bundles the “cool down” and “refuel” parts of the day.

Is it expensive? It is priced like a real spa package, not a discount hour. But it feels fair if you want a complete experience that ends with food and downtime, not just a treatment and a scramble.

Practical consideration: you are spending about 2.5 hours, then you are eating. So plan it on a day when you do not have back-to-back appointments. If your itinerary is packed with drives, you might feel rushed at the end.

Who This Wellness Break Is Best For

This is the kind of spa day that suits a few travel styles.

Choose it if you:

• Want a relaxing reset without over-planning
• Prefer massage plus skincare support, not just massage
• Like having your meal plan taken care of
• Appreciate a calm, clean environment and attentive service

It also works well if this is your first spa in Bali. The steps are straightforward, and the session order makes sense: relax first, then go deeper, then finish with a facial and snacks.

One more point: the atmosphere is repeatedly described as calm, clean, and professional. That matters if you are sensitive to loud places or you want your wellness time to feel orderly. Names that show up in the praise include therapists like Cita, Tari, Tita, Santi, Dia, and Chitta, and people mention feeling cared for and genuinely relaxed.

If you are someone who loves to linger for 20 minutes more in a quiet corner, you’ll likely enjoy the leisure time after treatments.

Should You Book This Spa With Dining Included?

Yes, if you want a well-rounded spa break that does not leave you hungry or scrambling. The strongest reason to book is the full package feeling: pool access, welcome drink, foot ritual, 60-minute aromatherapy massage, mini facial, juice, Balinese cake, and a set lunch or dinner at Botanist.

I’d pass or rethink if you:

• Need private transportation included
• Want a longer spa day than about 2.5 hours
• Are extremely picky about meal choices and do not want a set menu

If you are planning a Ubud day that mixes sightseeing with one good moment of calm, this is a clean, reliable choice. For many people, it is the kind of experience they remember as the day they finally slowed down.
