The Complete Feminine Spa Day in Ubud
Some spa visits are built around a single treatment. You arrive, you are taken care of, you leave. Others are designed as a complete journey, where each experience flows into the next and the whole becomes something greater than its parts. The Ladies of Leisure Package at Akoya Spa in Ubud belongs firmly in the second category.
This is a spa day designed entirely around the experience of a woman who wants to feel genuinely restored, not just briefly relaxed.
What the Ladies of Leisure Package Includes
The Ladies of Leisure Package is a full-body journey that covers every dimension of physical restoration. It moves through five treatments in a deliberate rather than arbitrary sequence.
It begins with a Traditional Balinese Massage, the treatment that Akoya Spa is best known for, using long, flowing strokes, acupressure, and gentle stretching to release tension throughout the body. The rhythm is grounding, the pace unhurried, and by the end of the session, the body has already begun to let go of what it has been carrying.
From there, a Balinese body scrub works across the skin, removing the layer of dead cells that accumulates through travel, sun, and daily life. The immediate result is noticeably softer, brighter skin. The deeper result is that the subsequent treatments can penetrate more effectively.
A natural yoghurt body mask is applied next, replenishing and nourishing the skin that the scrub has renewed. Yoghurt is naturally rich in lactic acid and proteins that soften and tone, and, at the temperature at which it is applied, the body is already warm and receptive enough to fully absorb its benefits.
The flower bath follows. As explored in our guide to the flower bath ritual at Akoya Spa, this is one of the most quietly transformative treatments on the menu. Warm water, local petals, fragrance rising around you, and nothing required of you for thirty minutes. After three treatments, the body arrives at the bath already deeply relaxed. The immersion simply completes what has already begun.
The journey closes with a Balinese Facial, a 60-minute treatment that brings the same unhurried attention to the face and neck that the earlier treatments brought to the body. Deep cleansing, steaming, a gentle scrub, a nourishing mask, and a face and neck massage that encourages lymphatic drainage and eases the tension that collects around the jaw, temples, and base of the skull.
Why the Sequence Matters
The Ladies of Leisure Package is not simply five treatments listed together. The order in which they are delivered is what makes the experience work as a whole.
The massage opens circulation and softens the muscles before the scrub ever touches the skin. The scrub prepares the surface before the mask is applied. The mask nourishes before the bath seals everything in warmth. The facial arrives when the nervous system is already at its calmest, which is precisely when skin repair works most effectively. Stress hormones impair the skin’s ability to absorb and respond. By the time the facial begins, those hormones have long since settled.
This is the same philosophy that runs through everything at Akoya Spa, the understanding that preparation matters as much as treatment, and that the environment in which care is received changes what that care can do.
The Setting in Ubud
Akoya Spa sits within Viceroy Bali in the highlands of Ubud, a city whose name derives from the Balinese word “obat”, meaning “medicine” or “herbs”. As we explored in our guide to Ubud wellness spa culture, healing is not a concept that was imported to this valley. It has always been here.
The spa’s interiors, warm cream tones, accents of gold, antique carved Balinese woodwork, and treatment rooms with views over the surrounding landscape, create an environment that encourages stillness before the first treatment begins. The local therapists are trained to the highest international standard by accredited Swiss spa professionals, bringing both the cultural depth of Balinese tradition and the technical precision of clinical practice to every session.

A Day Worth Giving Yourself
The Ladies of Leisure Package is the kind of experience that is easy to defer. There is always something else to do, somewhere else to be. But a day that moves you through massage, scrub, mask, flower bath, and facial in a setting designed entirely for your restoration is not an indulgence. It is maintenance of the most considered kind.
