Bodyworks: A Seminyak Spa
One of the most famous independent spas in Seminyak is Bodyworks. The place is located on Jl. Seminyak just up from Jl. Dhyana Pura. If I was into massages I'd be up there all the time. Stopping in today I saw that the place was quiet and the staff had time to talk. All Balinese, they were friendly and laid back and asked if I wanted a massage. I said "Tidak saya glee." (No I'm ticklish). Bodyworks has a reception area at the front and 9 small private rooms located behind. Each room has a bed with bath.
Their range of services are divided into Massages, (which include Full Body Massage, Exfoliation Massage, Thai Massage, Shiatzu Massage, Aromatherapy Massage, Back Massage, Foot Massage), Hair Treatments (which include Creambath, L'oreal Spa Creambath, Hair Coloring, Highlighting, Eyelash / Eyebrow tinting, Shaving), Facial (which includes Sari Ayu Facial, Biokos Seaweed Facial, Biokos Aloe Vera Facial, New-Bio-Lifting Facial), Waxing (which includes Bikini, Brazilian, Half Leg, Full Leg, Lip & Eyebrow, Underarm, Back Waxing, Chest Waxing), Natural Nail Care (which includes Bodyworks Manicure, French Manicure, Flower Manicure, Sports Manicure, Polish Manicure, Polish Change, Bodyworks Pedicure, French Pedicure, Flower Predicure, Sports Pedicure,
A sample selection of prices are as follows: Full Body Massage (1 hour) 139,000rp), Highlighting (short hair) 309,000rp, Biokos Seaweed Facial (1 hour) 115,000rp, Bikini Waxing 55,000rp, Sports Manicure 60,000rp.
Here is a description of the Exfoliation Massage (Mandi Lulur)
This treatment begins with an hour long Balinese massage, then the entire body is painted in a brown, granular paste ( the traditional Javanese 'lulur'), containing tumeric, sandalwood, cinnamon, ground nuts and rice. The paste is then gently rubbed to exfoliate the skin. After a quick shower, cool, fresh, yoghurt is splashed, then smoothed over the skin. The yoghurt's enzymes stimulate cell activity and restore PH balance of the skin, which feels soft as silk after the yoghurt is washed away. The final step involves luxuriating in a fragrant, warm, flower filled bath. 2 hours 235,000rp
Bodyworks has another location on Jl. Kayu Jati, the small lane that runs between Jl. Oberoi and Jl. Petitenget. They open from 9am-10pm.

Barrie, You can use me for an excuse anytime, I’ll just play dumb, it comes natural.
Tony, Don’t know about happy endings. All these ladies are local Balinese so probably the only happy ending you are going to get is walking out with your wallet intact.
You guys make it sounds like Indonesian women are stupid and materialistic.
With a title like that I must say you do to, lighten up CCP!
G’Day Nick,
Those two young, beautiful ladies are inspiring enough to want to have a massage!. Reckon I’ll head down there. I’ll just tell Candika that I’m going fishin’ with you!.
