Stroll around Ubud, walk into the resort-style alleys, enjoy the special SPA shops and restaurants
We all like taking walks, so after returning to Ubud after playing ATV in the afternoon, we rested for a while and then went out for a walk. The purpose of this time is to find a comfortable SPA to enjoy myself after climbing the mountain so hard early in the morning!
As we were walking, we passed a small path on the main street. From a distance, it felt like a holiday, and it also felt like the sea was at the end (but Ubud is an inland area), so we decided to go in and take a look.
This path feels completely different from the main street, there are fewer people and cars, and it is more comfortable to walk on. As you walk into the alley, you will see villas that seem to be larger in size, and next to them are some beautiful check-in restaurants and massage parlors.
When we were tired of walking, we started looking for a SPA. There were quite a few small shops, like the ones in Thailand where you could see a row of leg massage chairs inside from the outside (according to the driver we talked to a few days later, the quality of these shops was not that good). As a person who cares about appearance, I finally chose two SPAs with nicer decorations. However, since I saw a lot of customers waiting in the first one, I decided to go to the second one where there was no queue.
After visiting many SPA shops, I feel that except for hotels, the prices of other shops are similar. The lowest price is around HK$50-60 on average. This time we chose hot stone massage, which, as the name suggests, involves using heated stones for massage.
Indonesia is a relatively conservative country. I didn't expect that the store would arrange for the two of us to stay in the same room as soon as we arrived. This made us feel more at ease (?). I give full marks for the comfort environment. I felt that the massage was okay (although we can count the number of massage experiences on 5 fingers, but there is no particular one that has a deep impression). I tried the Balinese massage, which was different from the previous ones. It turned out that the Balinese massage was mainly acupressure (I wondered if this would make the masseur very tired). It was a very special experience.
The massage parlor we went to this time is the following one:
📍Beauty Salon & Spa
Jl. Bisma No.63x, Ubud, Kecamatan Ubud, Kabupaten Gianyar, Bali

About 6 minutes walk from the massage parlor, there is a small restaurant with a nice and comfortable decoration. Because the location is relatively remote, there are not many people. The proprietress also revealed that it is indeed difficult to operate in that location, and she also hopes that customers who have eaten there and like it will help promote it.
Let's start with a simple rating:
Location - 2/5
Restaurant environment - 5/5
Food quality - 4/5
Food price - 5/5
Overall CP value - 4/5
The location is definitely not good. It is not recommended for friends who are in a hurry. It is highly recommended for those who have free time to take a walk here and have a meal. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and more unique than other restaurants nearby. It definitely has places worth checking in, which is why I walked into this restaurant. I think the price of food is a little cheaper than other restaurants. The portion of each food is smaller, but it’s not too filling. The taste is just right, and there are many varieties, including Western and local food.
The restaurant is located here:
📍Lucky Family Coffee & Food
Jl. Bisma, Ubud, Kecamatan Ubud, Kabupaten Gianyar, Bali 80571

Finally, there are many places that look like temples in the city of Ubud. If you bring a small lens that can be attached to your phone, you may be able to take a photo that feels like the Gate of the Sky!
