Whether it's a total fix for the mind, body and spirit, or simply the desire for a bit of serenity, visitors to Bali spend many happy hours (sometimes days) being massaged, scrubbed, perfumed, pampered, bathed and blissed out. Sometimes all this attention to your well-being happens on the beach or in a garden; other times it's in stylish, even lavish, surroundings. As the Balinese massage techniques of stretching, long strokes, skin rolling and palm-and thumb pressure result in an all-over feeling of calm, it's the perfect holiday prescription. There are literally hundreds of places on Bali to get a pampering (some more genuine than others!) but the following is a selection of our favourites.
