ZOO TRIPS · SPA & HOT SPRINGS
Anywhere in the world, these are the 5 spa & hot spring days to put on a route: priced, timed, and clear about which ones need a slot booked weeks out.
Spend four hours at Samui Elephant Spa preparing food, feeding rescued elephants, walking with them through the jungle, and joining their mud bath and river wash. Guides such as Pong, Jack, Lana, and Go add humor and useful context, followed by a simple Thai noodle soup class.
“Absolutely amazing experience. Feeding and bathing elephants is an indescribable experience.”
At Sanctoo Spa near Bali Zoo, choose a 90-minute holistic treatment, 2-hour riverside spa, or 3-hour Peaceful Escape. You’ll relax in a private room beside the river, with waterfall sounds, massage, scrub, baths, and optional facial care. Couples and small groups can share a room.
“The masseuse prepared everything - the facial, body scrub, and milk bath, and made sure to take care of my problem areas. She was very kind. I will return.”
Spend a full day with an English-speaking guide such as Yanse, visiting Ubud’s Monkey Forest, Tegalalang Rice Terrace, Tirta Empul, Mount Batur, and Batur Natural Hot Spring. Hotel pickup, private transport, entrance fees, and buffet lunch are included when the selected option covers them. The swing costs extra.
“I highly recommend this tour, our guide Yanse was wonderful, caring and takes great pictures. Tour can be slightly altered if you want to skip part of it. Day was packed with great places of interest, food (amazing), photo opportunities, rRead more”
Start with a 7 a.m. hotel pickup, then visit a traditional market and rice farm before cooking and eating Balinese dishes. Your private driver takes you to Ubud Monkey Forest and a two-hour spa treatment. The cooking class is shared, while transport and the spa are private.
“Fantastic first day in Ubud. Our driver, Dananjaya, was on time and patiently waited at all our stops. Cooking class was exceptional and the spa was beautiful.”
At Tejas Spa inside Adiwana Monkey Forest, you’ll enjoy a prepaid Balinese massage followed by a fragrant flower bath. Choose your treatment, request a time, and arrive 15 minutes early. The calm setting suits solo relaxation or a couples’ break in central Ubud.
“Very relaxing that I snored so bad. The hot stones was the best one.”
Pick a kind of park, a ticket, or an animal.
