Massage & Spa near Nusa Dua — Resort Quality, Local Prices
Looking for a massage near Nusa Dua without the resort mark-up? Rika Beauty & Spa sits about 25 minutes up the hill in Ungasan, right on the main Jl. Raya Uluwatu road. A traditional 60-minute Balinese massage is Rp 200K here and 90 minutes is Rp 290K — the same hour inside a Nusa Dua resort spa is routinely several times that. Same warm coconut oil, same firm thumb pressure, same trained Balinese hands. Open every day, 9am to 9pm, walk-ins welcome.
Worth the Short Trip from Nusa Dua
From the Nusa Dua gates it is about a 25 to 30 minute drive up onto the Bukit, out past Jimbaran and along Jl. Raya Uluwatu. We are on the main road in front of Tarabele with parking directly outside, so there is no side-lane hunting in the dark. If you are already heading to Uluwatu Temple for sunset or down to Melasti for the afternoon, we are on the way rather than a detour.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Rika from Nusa Dua?
About a 25 to 30 minute drive. We are at Jl. Raya Uluwatu No. 75X, Ungasan, on the main road in front of Tarabele, with parking directly outside. Coming from Nusa Dua you head out past Jimbaran and up onto the Bukit.
Is it really cheaper than a Nusa Dua resort spa?
Yes, by a wide margin. A traditional 60-minute Balinese massage is Rp 200K here and 90 minutes is Rp 290K. Resort spas in Nusa Dua charge several times that for the same hour, the same technique and therapists trained the same way. You are paying Bukit prices instead of resort prices.
Should I book before driving up from Nusa Dua?
Walk-ins are welcome, but it is worth a quick WhatsApp to +62 813-3874-8032 before you set off. It is a 25 to 30 minute drive each way, and late afternoons and weekends are when the rooms fill. A message also lets us hold your preferred therapist.
What are your opening hours?
Every day, 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM — including weekends and holidays.
What can we book in one trip from Nusa Dua?
Massage and body therapy (traditional Balinese, deep tissue, couples, reflexology and pregnancy), facials, nails, waxing, lashes and brows, and lymphatic drainage. Because it is a drive rather than a walk, most guests coming from Nusa Dua stack two or three treatments into one visit, or take a package such as Head-to-Toe Bliss at Rp 480K, instead of making the trip twice.
Can we come as a couple?
Yes. The couples massage is two therapists and two tables in one private room, from Rp 400K for two people. It is the most common booking for guests coming over from Nusa Dua, and it pairs well with a mani-pedi afterwards if you want to make a half day of it.
Is there parking, or should we take a Grab?
Either works. There is parking directly outside on the main Uluwatu road, so a hire car or scooter is easy. If you would rather not drive back down to Nusa Dua after a massage, Grab and Gojek both cover this stretch of Jl. Raya Uluwatu and drivers know Tarabele.
