Taksu Spa is one of Ubud’s most celebrated and award-winning wellness destinations, nestled in a lush tropical garden in the heart of Ubud’s cultural district. The name “Taksu” refers to the divine energy or spiritual charisma that Balinese people believe inhabits sacred spaces and gifted artisans — and this spa embodies that spirit completely.
Founded over 20 years ago by a family of traditional Balinese healers, Taksu has remained committed to preserving authentic healing techniques passed down through generations. Every therapist undergoes an intensive 6-month training program in traditional Balinese massage, herbal body treatments, and energy healing before treating guests.
The spa’s signature treatment — the Taksu Royal Ritual — is a 3-hour journey through Bali’s ancient healing traditions. It begins with a foot purification ceremony, followed by a traditional Balinese massage using warm coconut oil infused with 12 sacred herbs, a volcanic clay body wrap, a flower petal bath, and concludes with a Jamu herbal elixir ceremony.
The setting is extraordinary — individual treatment bungalows are surrounded by a water garden, tropical plants, and the gentle sound of flowing water. Each bungalow features an open-air garden shower and a private soaking tub filled with flowers and herbs.
Taksu also offers yoga classes, meditation sessions, traditional Balinese healer consultations, and a health-conscious restaurant serving nutritious Balinese cuisine. Couples packages and group bookings are available with advance reservation.
