Spa at Flying Bamboo with Dining Included at Botanist

A quiet spa morning can reset your whole Bali plan. This package pairs Flying Bamboo Spa treatments with pool access and a set meal at Botanist Restaurant, all in one smooth 2.5 hour block.

I also love how the care feels personal and professional, with therapists named like Cita and Tari often mentioned for attentive, relaxing work, plus a mini facial to finish the “I feel human again” effect. One consideration, though, is that private transportation is not included, so you’ll want to plan how you get to Botanist Restaurant in Ubud.

Key highlights to know before you go

• Pool time + welcome drink start things gently, before you hit the treatment rooms
• Foot ritual first, then massage, then facial, so you’re not rushed between steps
• Aromatherapy massage is the main event, with a “slow down” feel that keeps coming up
• Botanist set lunch or dinner is included, so your meal matches the reset vibe
• Small group size (max 10) makes it easier to keep the experience calm

Flying Bamboo Spa and Botanist Dining, the real idea

This is the kind of wellness day that works even if you’re not a spa devotee. The point is simple: you get a detox-style spa sequence, then you eat in a calmer, more intentional way right after, instead of scrambling to find food before you’re too relaxed to move.

You’re doing two things you’d normally have to schedule separately in Ubud. The first is Flying Bamboo’s foot ritual, Harmony Renewal aromatherapy massage (60 minutes), and mini facial (30 minutes). The second is a set lunch or dinner at Botanist Restaurant, included as part of the price.

If you like your day structured but not hectic, this fits. You have a clear flow, a guide with you, and you end back at the starting point.

The 2.5-hour flow in plain English

The experience runs about 2 hours 30 minutes, and it uses a mobile ticket, so you can keep it simple on arrival.

Here’s the rhythm you’ll follow:

• Arrive at Botanist Restaurant Ubud
• Get pool access and a welcome drink
• Do the spa sequence: foot ritual, then 60-minute massage, then 30-minute mini facial
• Receive seasonal fresh juice and Balinese cake after the treatments
• Finish with your included Botanist set lunch or dinner

Then it ends back at the meeting point. That last part matters more than you think. In Ubud, getting in and out without drama helps your day feel like a break, not a project.

Pool access and the welcome drink, your “start switch”

Before any treatment starts, you’re given pool access plus a welcome drink. That’s not just a perk. It’s a smart pacing move, because it helps you shift from street-level Ubud activity into spa mode before your body gets worked on.

I’d treat that first window like part of the therapy. Grab your drink, take a few minutes to sit, and let your body cool down. If you arrive slightly stressed or warm from walking around, this pause can make the massage feel noticeably better.

One small practical note: the experience is listed as near public transportation, but private transportation is not included. Plan your arrival time so you’re not rushing in right when pool time is supposed to be part of your unwind.

Flying Bamboo foot ritual, why it’s the perfect opener

The spa sequence begins with a Flying Bamboo foot ritual. Even though it sounds minor compared to a massage, it often sets the tone for the entire session.

Your feet take a beating in Ubud, especially if you’ve been doing scooters, steps, temples, or long walks in humidity. Starting with a ritual for your feet signals your nervous system to slow down. It also makes the transition into the aromatherapy massage feel smoother, not like you’re being dropped into the main treatment cold.

If you’re thinking, do I really need the foot ritual? My take is yes. It’s part of what makes this feel like a full reset instead of a random massage stop.

Harmony Renewal aromatherapy massage (60 minutes)

This is the centerpiece: the Harmony Renewal aromatherapy massage for 60 minutes. Aromatherapy adds a layer that many people find comforting in Ubud’s climate and humidity, because scent can nudge your brain toward calm faster than effort alone.

Based on the way therapists are praised by name, the vibe here is consistent: professional, attentive, and focused on deep relaxation. Names that come up include Cita, Tari, Tita, and Chitta, and the pattern you’ll want to look for is staff who take their time and don’t treat you like a stopwatch.

What you can realistically expect during this kind of massage, from the way the service is described:

• A full body approach that people call deeply relaxing
• Care that feels guided, not rushed
• An end-of-treatment calm that lasts, not just a short-term “wow”

You don’t need to be an expert on massage styles. The practical win is how it leaves you ready to eat, not just ready to pass out.

Mini facial (30 minutes), the quick skin reset

After the massage, you get a mini facial (30 minutes). This is the “finish” step, and it’s a smart one for travelers. When you’re on the road, your skin often gets a mix of sun, dry air in cars and rooms, and whatever your hotel AC is doing that week.

The mini facial is shorter than a full facial, but it still gives you that fresh feeling right after your treatments. People describe it as “heavenly” and part of what makes them feel refreshed and balanced.

Also, a facial right after massage can feel especially good. Your body is already in slow mode, so your skin care feels less like a separate appointment and more like the same reset.

Refreshments after the treatments, small but meaningful

After your treatments, you’ll get seasonal fresh juice and Balinese cake. This is one of those details that can make the whole experience feel complete.

It’s not just a snack. It’s a gentle bridge between spa time and dinner time. If you’re sensitive to heavy meals right after a massage, having something light first can help.

If you’re watching what you eat, you can treat the juice and cake like a “spacer.” Then you can eat your included Botanist set meal at your comfort level.

Botanist Restaurant set lunch or dinner, included and intentional

The package includes a special set lunch or dinner from Botanist Restaurant. This is a big value add, because food is usually where travel plans unravel. You plan a calm morning, then you end up hungry and stressed while you search for a restaurant you can handle.

Here, you don’t have to make that choice on the fly. The meal is part of the spa day’s design, so you can focus on recovery instead of decision fatigue.

It’s also reassuring that the provider says they can accommodate vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and other dietary restrictions if you note it at booking. I’d do that early, because dietary needs are easier to handle when they have time.

One more detail that matters: alcoholic beverages are not included, but they’re available for an extra charge. If you want to stay in the “detox journey” mindset, you can simply skip alcohol and let the included juice be your star.

Price and value, what $137.89 is buying

At $137.89 per person, you’re paying for more than a massage. You’re getting:

• Pool access and a welcome drink
• Foot ritual
• 60-minute aromatherapy massage
• 30-minute mini facial
• Post-treatment juice and Balinese cake
• Your included Botanist set lunch or dinner
• A guide

That mix is the value. In Ubud, it’s easy to pay for a single treatment and then still spend extra on food and transport. Here, the package bundles the “you’re done, now what?” moments into the same price.

Is it cheap? No, but it’s not just a “pretty spa” add-on either. You’re buying a guided wellness sequence plus a sit-down meal.

The one caveat for value is the transportation piece again. Private transportation is not included, so factor that into your day. If you’re already near the meeting point or using public transport, you’ll feel the value more. If you’re coming from far away and need a taxi, your real total climbs.

Who should book this spa with dining

This works best for you if you want:

• A structured spa day that still feels calm
• A combo of massage plus facial, not just one treatment
• A included meal right after, so your day stays easy
• The kind of service where staff are praised for being kind and professional, with therapists such as Santi and Dia being specifically mentioned for making the experience special

It might not be your best fit if:

• You need door-to-door convenience, because private transportation is not included
• You prefer ultra-long spa programs. This is built to be efficient at about 2.5 hours
• You plan to drink alcohol as part of the experience. Alcohol is extra

Practical tips to make your day smoother

A few things I’d do to get the most out of it:

• Book with enough time: it’s commonly booked about 55 days in advance, so earlier planning can help you lock in your preferred timing
• Bring a calm mindset: the experience is designed to feel slow and relaxing, so try not to schedule something intense right after
• Tell them your dietary needs up front: vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and more are mentioned as possible with advance notice
• Use your mobile ticket: keep it handy on your phone to avoid last-minute fuss
• Arrive early enough to enjoy the pool window: pool access is part of the start, not an afterthought

If you’re the type who likes to take photos, you’ll probably like the setting too. People consistently mention the natural surroundings and the fact that the atmosphere feels clean and calm, which is exactly what you want for a restful day.

Should you book Flying Bamboo Spa with Botanist dining?

If you want a satisfying wellness reset without turning your day into logistics, I think this is a strong pick. The biggest reasons are the combination: foot ritual + aromatherapy massage + mini facial, then an included set lunch or dinner that keeps the whole experience from feeling unfinished.

Also, the consistent praise for kindness, professionalism, and deep relaxation suggests you’re not walking into a rushed assembly line. Names that come up, like Cita, Tari, Santi, Dia, Tita, and Chitta, point to a team that people remember, not just a generic spa.

Book it if you’re near Ubud and you can get to Botanist Restaurant without a lot of hassle. Skip it or reconsider if you need private transportation bundled in, or if you’re looking for a longer, more elaborate multi-hour spa retreat.
