Ubud Guide
Foot reflexology presses on set points of the feet with the thumbs, fingers and hands, following a chart of zones on the sole. In central Ubud, Riviera Spa on Jalan Raya Pengosekan offers foot reflexology in 30 or 60 minute sessions, from 9am to 9pm every day, booked on WhatsApp.

Reflexology, also called zone therapy, puts pressure on particular points of the feet, and sometimes the hands and ears. Reflexologists work from charts that link areas of the sole to other parts of the body, and the pressure follows those areas rather than the muscle.
Riviera Spa describes its Foot Reflexology as a revitalising foot massage inspired by traditional reflexology, at 30 or 60 minutes. Its Foot Massage is the plainer one: it works the feet and the lower legs to ease tired muscles, at 30 minutes for IDR 220,000 or 45 minutes for IDR 290,000.
If it's your calves that ache after a long walk, the Foot Massage reaches them and reflexology mostly stays on the soles. A 30 minute session of either costs IDR 220,000.
Treat it as a way to relax. Reviews of the research published in 2009 and 2011 found no evidence good enough to support reflexology for any medical condition, and when Australia's Department of Health reviewed natural therapies in 2015, it found no clear evidence that reflexology works.
If you have an injury or a health condition, say so when you book.
Foot Reflexology is IDR 220,000 for 30 minutes or IDR 350,000 for 60 minutes. Menu prices are before tax, and an 11% service charge and 10% government tax are added when you pay.
The foot section of the menu has two more treatments. The Foot Scrub is a 30 minute exfoliating salt scrub at IDR 200,000, and the 45 minute Simple Pedicure covers nail shaping, cuticle care, a foot soak, a light foot massage and OPI polish at IDR 250,000. A 15 minute scalp or face massage can be added to any booking for IDR 90,000.
A lot of Ubud gets seen on foot, down Jalan Monkey Forest from Ubud Palace or out along the Campuhan Ridge Walk. Riviera Spa is open from 9am to 9pm every day, late enough to book a session after a full day out among the sights around Ubud.
From about November to March, rain tends to arrive in heavy afternoon bursts, and a rainy afternoon in Ubud is a good time for it.
Message Riviera Spa on WhatsApp at +62 811-2891-1122 with the treatment, the length and roughly when you would like it. Someone replies to confirm the time if the slot is free. The spa is inside Riviera Boutique Hotel on Jalan Raya Pengosekan, a short walk or scooter ride from the Ubud Art Market, Ubud Palace and the Sacred Monkey Forest.
Kumo serves dinner in the same building from 5pm, Tuesday to Sunday. The Riviera Lounge does coffee by day and wine in the evening, and you can book a room at Riviera if you'd rather not travel after a treatment.

Reviews
For us, this hotel was an absolute oasis of well-being and definitely one of the most beautiful hotels we stayed in in Bali. We would return in a heartbeat and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a special, stylish, and relaxing stay in Ubud. Thank you so much to the entire team for this wonderful time! ❤️🌴 We would love to come back again!
A beautiful boutique hotel in the heart of Ubud with stylish interiors and great attention to detail. I stayed in a Garden View room, which was very comfortable, spotless and peaceful. The staff were incredibly warm, attentive and helpful. I originally booked two nights but loved it so much that I extended my stay by another three. I would definitely return!
A Beautiful modern hotel in the heart of Ubud, very centrally and conveniently located and close to the best shops and restaurants. The hotel has a very beautiful colonial atmosphere, the rooms are clean, modern and stylish. The staff is kind and responsive. It's a great place for a couple or single travellers, it's not really fit for families as it has no infrastructure and special spaces for kids. It's a great place for adult travellers wanting to stay in the very heart of Ubud and enjoy the walking distance to the evening events in Ubud or just visiting the town without the need to use a car or a bike. We will be back!
