Bali Dacha - Sauna

I went with a group of 12 which we had reservations however upon arrival our group lead was scrambling trying to make the experience happen since apparently the reservation didn’t seem to exist with the spa staff. Apparently it was “club” day which typically they don’t reserve groups in order to keep crowd control. However they made it work but it did create crowding and other service and sanitation concerns. The staff and most of the patrons were Russian and I will say I felt like I was in another country outside of being in Bali. However after some time the experience was positive. The location is gorgeous and had a magical fairytale feel to it. The flow of amenities need improvement such as available towels within the “wet areas”, the food and lounge are strict dry areas but in order to get a towel you have to know to grab one before getting wet, and you have to pay extra for towel use. Again that is something to know before you go. It also is a no shoe area which might be concerning for sanitation and safety purposes. It might be better to offer sanitized shoes for use around the spa. The changing areas are less than ideal as well. The other concern I had and this was the biggest was the cup situation. They do provide water outside of the sauna but the cups are hard plastic and never changed out or have any way of knowing what cups are clean/dirty. All you see is cups where people will use and leave. I never saw anyone collect dirty cups and replace with clean ones. Also fruit is served from a community plate without any utensils or toothpicks to aide in sanitation. Although after sauna ceremonies the area is aired out I never saw any cleaning/wiping or sanitizing of any sauna. I have a concern that so many people sweat and sit on wet surfaces over and over without any cleaning in between. I know that the pools are intended to not have chemicals and be natural but with the amount of use I found myself wondering how they are kept clean and safe. Finally the way they control lines and crowds in the high desired sauna areas is disorganized. It seemed if you were Russian you had full access and didn’t have to be in line, this left some not having an opportunity to use the sauna. You would think you were waiting in line only for there not to be a line. Overall the actual experience is amazing… the drums, singing, sauna ceremonies, chanting, atmosphere, variety of saunas and magical vibe! The food was wonderful along with fire circles, dance and dj, boutique. I would return but I would be better prepared. I do understand that standards from country to country change and I have traveled to many other places but I do think with some improvements this place would be spectacular. The vision is there for sure!!

Bali Dacha – Ubud ⭐️ Avoid at all costs. Not that I’ve ever been to a brothel, but this is exactly how I’d imagine one — dark, deserted, and more than a little creepy. We arrived after reading glowing reviews (clearly fake!) only to find an abandoned resort: empty pools, one stagnant puddle masquerading as a pool, and a general sense that everyone had fled the scene in a hurry. The strangest part? While we were standing in this ghost town, they were actively promoting it on Instagram as a “luxury retreat.” We left immediately, only to discover no Grab driver wanted to come near the place — which tells you everything you need to know.

Had an amazing experience here for a private sauna session with a group of 7 friends. The sauna master was very professional and made us all feel very at ease. Great energy! Will come back! 😍

Managed to find this place online after seeing glowing reviews, arrived more than disappointed to find an empty “spa” with pools/ice baths drained of water and saunas that looked like they hadn’t been switched on in a long time. The place felt very deserted and had a creepy vibe about it. Something to note is that upon arrival reception staff said they needed 3 hour notice prior to visit however it says no where online/ instagram about this. Unfortunately very disappointed and mislead by reviews!

we took a spa «date with nature», we liked everything! good massage, beautiful 2 bathrooms with petals, delicious tea and jungle sound, it’s amazing ✨ the area of the Bali Dacha is huge, beautiful, colorful lobby, friendly staff, we were on weekdays at 14:00, there was no people at all except staff, so if you are tired from crowded spaces, the Bali Dacha was super quiet and pleasant. the next time I want to go to a bath or a club day) place super, recommend 💖

This place is super nice. The smallest sauna is the best. Also best sauna man makes saunas even more hot. As well you gonna enjoy the pool with roses all over it. The hostess Alina is very welcoming. Tea ceremony is a good place to relax. They also have nails to stay on, sound healing, ecstatic dance. However those are not explained well, so it's more for people who are already into that. I really liked Bali dacha. Though I got problems with my skin. So looks like they don't pay much attention to cleaning and prevention.

This place is magical and very very special. People are very welcoming here especially the beautiful faerie in the fabulously designed and made outfits( she makes them herself, I hear) and the sauna master. I loved it. You must have an appreciation of old world culture and art and/ or be a refined European person looking for a friendly face to really appreciate this magical place. Literally changed my life.

i had a three hours spa bundle — included massage, face and body skin care and bath. and i can say that that was really good. all went smooth and gentle. go and try their spa bundles, worth it every penny
