Total Relaxation and Balance

Absolutely incredible — by far the best massage I’ve ever had. I was invited by my girlfriend to this wonderful place, where we enjoyed a couples massage, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable experiences we’ve shared.

I’ve had many massages in Bali and the islands, but nothing compares to this one with Hanna and her mother, Kimiko. It’s far more than just a massage — it’s a deeply immersive and energetic healing experience. The soothing sounds of singing bowls, combined with a full-body treatment (hands, feet, face, neck, and more) using different temperatures, create a unique sensation of total relaxation and balance.

I left feeling completely renewed — physically, mentally, and emotionally. We will absolutely be back. Highly recommended.

Hanna and Kimiko are adorable, thank you so much!

The Massage was Amazing

I booked a couple’s massage with my husband at Hana Balinese Massage. Hana and Kimiko were both so lovely and took the time to get to know us. They also explained clearly what should be expected during the one-hour session. Felt so relaxed, and the massage was amazing. The tea and chocolates were a bonus. Would 100% recommend!

Genuine Care

I have tried numerous massage therapists over the years, honestly Hanako (Hana) does the BEST massage I have ever had. If there were more stars to give this review, I would. Seriously talented and caring for all her customers, I feel good for weeks after a massage from Hanako. You definitely won’t regret treating yourself to a massage here, so worth it!!!

Pain Melted Away

I had a great massage from Hanako when I had pain and tightness on upper body. It was very relaxing and uplifting experience and released almost all pain after one massage !! I love her gentleness and skill to find right spot and pressure. Thank you very much Hanako I will see you for another one soon.

Brand New Body

Hanako knows what she’s doing.

My tight and sore shoulders got fixed with only 20mins of rubbing.

Got a full treatment today, feel like I have a brand new body. You’ll be surprised to see how much strength she’s got in her rather slim arms and fingers.
