Warm Stone Massage Spa Package
The main draw here is the three-part treatment: a Balinese oil massage, warm volcanic stones placed into shoulder and neck work, and a full organic herbal facial. I like the clear pacing, and I like that tea, coffee, fruit, Wi-Fi, and snacks are included rather than treated as extras.
The main point to consider is timing. The advertised session lasts about three hours, but the listed treatments total 150 minutes, leaving time for changing, settling in, refreshments, and transitions. You also need to reach the spa yourself, and the appointment should be confirmed by WhatsApp the day before.
Key points at a glance

- Three treatments in one visit: 45 minutes of Balinese coconut oil massage, 45 minutes of warm stone shoulder and neck work, then a 60-minute organic facial.
- Warm volcanic river stones: The heat is aimed at sore, stiff muscles, especially around the neck and shoulders.
- Private booking: Only your own group participates, rather than joining a larger shared session.
- Refreshments included: Tea or coffee, an exotic fruit plate, snacks, and Wi-Fi are part of the package.
- Central Ubud meeting point: The spa is at Starchild Ubud Spa, 7 Lotus Lane, Ubud.
- Useful booking tip: Confirm the appointment through WhatsApp the day before, as requested by the spa.
Three hours of quiet care in central Ubud
This package is built for the afternoon when your body has had enough of Ubud’s streets, steps, and sightseeing. You arrive at Starchild Ubud Spa and move through three treatments in a set order, beginning with oil massage and ending with facial care.
That order makes sense. The massage starts with broad, familiar bodywork. The warm stones then focus attention on the shoulder and neck area, where many people carry tension. The facial gives you a slower finish, with less pressure and more time for cleansing and skin care.
The spa is listed at 7 Lotus Lane in Ubud, with the activity returning to that same point. Public transportation is nearby, but private transportation is not included. I would plan your route before the appointment rather than assume a hotel pickup is part of the package.
The booking is private for your group. That matters if you want a calmer appointment or prefer not to share treatment space with strangers. It does not mean the package includes a private vehicle or a private transfer. You still make your own way to the spa.

The 45-minute Balinese coconut oil massage

The session begins with a 45-minute Balinese oil massage. Coconut oil gives this opening treatment a distinctly local feel, and it also allows the massage to use long, smooth movements rather than dry pressure alone.
This part is a good fit if you want to loosen up before the heated stones are used. The massage gives the body time to settle, while the oil helps prepare the muscles for the next stage. It is also the longest full-body-style treatment listed in the package, so it carries much of the physical relaxation.
You should expect oil on the skin after this section. The package is designed as a continuous spa visit, so this is not a quick massage followed by a long break. If you need to discuss pressure, sensitive areas, or any medical concern, do so before treatment begins.
The description does not provide a therapist’s name or a detailed treatment menu. That means you should focus on the structure that is confirmed: 45 minutes of Balinese oil massage, not a customized medical massage or a full-day wellness program.
Warm volcanic stones for shoulders and neck

Next comes 45 minutes of warm stone massage directed at the shoulders and neck. The stones are described as heated volcanic river stones, with warmth intended to relax sore, stiff muscles.
This is the distinctive part of the package. A standard massage can work the area, but added heat may help you release tension without relying only on firm pressure. If your shoulders feel tight after carrying a day bag or sitting during transport, this focused treatment is likely to be the part you notice most.
The wording is specific: this is shoulder and neck work, not a second full-body massage. That is useful when deciding what to expect. If you want equal attention to your legs, back, arms, and feet, this package may feel narrower than its total treatment time suggests.
The spa does not list a medical claim, so I would treat this as relaxation and comfort care rather than therapy for an injury. Warm stones are not automatically right for everyone. Tell the staff if you are sensitive to heat or need adjustments during the session.
A full 60-minute organic herbal facial
The final treatment is a 60-minute organic herbal facial. It is described as cleansing the pores and refreshing the skin, with the goal of leaving your face feeling renewed.
The one-hour length is generous compared with many short add-on facials. It gives the final stage real weight in the schedule instead of making it a few minutes of cream and a quick wipe-down. If you prefer a spa visit that includes skin care, not just massage, this helps explain the package’s appeal.
The facial also changes the rhythm of the appointment. After the more physical massage work, you can finish with something quieter and more focused on the face. The use of organic herbal products may appeal to you if you prefer a treatment with a natural theme, though the specific ingredients are not provided.
Do not book this expecting a dermatology consultation or a named product line. The available information supports a cleansing herbal facial, not treatment for a particular skin condition.

Fruit, tea, coffee, and Wi-Fi add practical value
The package includes tea or coffee, an exotic fruit plate, snacks, and Wi-Fi. These are small additions, but they matter during a three-hour appointment. You have something light to eat and drink without needing to leave the spa immediately afterward.
The fruit plate also fits the relaxed Ubud setting better than a heavy meal would. It is a useful pause before heading back into town, especially if you scheduled the treatment between sightseeing plans.
Wi-Fi is included, although this is not a reason to book the package by itself. It can help you check messages, arrange your next stop, or contact your accommodation. Keep your phone use modest if your main aim is to rest.
The description does not say exactly when refreshments are served. You might receive them during a break or after the treatments, so do not rely on the fruit plate as a replacement for lunch or dinner.
Is the $51.37 price good value?
At $51.37 per person, the package gives you about three hours at a private spa, with 45 minutes of oil massage, 45 minutes of warm stone work, and a 60-minute facial. Tea, coffee, fruit, snacks, and Wi-Fi are included, which makes the price easier to assess than a treatment-only rate.
I see the strongest value in the combination. Booking three separate services can take more planning, and this package gives you a single appointment with a clear beginning, middle, and end. It is also useful if one person in your group wants massage while another prefers facial care, although the package information does not say whether treatments can be rearranged.
The price is less compelling if you only want a basic massage. In that case, you are paying for the facial and warm stone section as well. You should also add the cost and time of getting to the spa because transportation is not included.
One review describes the price as reasonable and the massage as high quality, but the overall rating is based on only two reviews. I would treat the rating as a helpful signal, not a guarantee. The spa’s small sample of public feedback does not tell you enough to judge every therapist or every appointment.
Appointment planning and the WhatsApp check
The most useful practical tip is to confirm the appointment the day before. The spa uses WhatsApp for this, so message rather than rely only on the original booking confirmation.
This is especially important because the activity is scheduled at a specific spa and lasts several hours. A short confirmation can help make sure the time, meeting point, and treatment are all understood before you set out.
The booking confirmation is issued at the time of booking. Free cancellation is available until at least 24 hours before the start time. If you cancel later, the amount paid is not refunded, and changes made inside that same 24-hour window are not accepted.
The activity also depends on suitable weather and a minimum number of participants. If the provider cancels for either reason, you are offered another date or experience, or a full refund. The weather condition may seem unusual for a spa appointment, but it is part of the stated booking terms.
Getting to Starchild Ubud Spa

The meeting point is Starchild Ubud Spa, 7 Lotus Lane, Ubud, Kecamatan Ubud, Kabupaten Gianyar, Bali 80571, Indonesia. The activity ends at the same location.
Public transportation is nearby, and service animals are allowed. The information also says most people can participate. No private transfer is provided, so you should leave enough time to find the spa and arrive without rushing.
One piece of local direction in the available feedback places a similar spa near the lower part of the Kajeng area, on a main road rising after Monkey Forest. I would not use that description as a substitute for the official address, but it does show why a careful map check is worthwhile in Ubud, where small lanes and changing road levels can make a short distance feel less simple.
Use the exact Starchild Ubud Spa address when arranging a taxi or other ride. If you are already staying nearby, the meeting-point format is convenient. If you are coming from farther away, transportation time can reduce the practical value of a three-hour appointment.
Private treatment, but not a luxury resort package
The private format is one of the better features here. Only your group participates, which gives the appointment a more personal feel than a large shared spa session.
Still, the information does not describe the property as a large resort spa, and no private transportation is included. You should think of this as a focused local spa visit rather than an all-day hotel wellness program with meals, pools, or several rooms.
That distinction helps set the right expectation. You are paying for three connected treatments and simple refreshments. You are not paying for a full resort day or a broad menu of facilities.
The available feedback describes a small, clean space with a pleasant smell and a friendly welcome, along with good massage quality. That description is useful because it suggests a modest local setting rather than an elaborate resort environment. Since only two reviews are available, I would keep expectations measured while still noting that cleanliness, welcome, and massage quality are the most praised features.
Who will get the most from this package?
I would recommend this package to you if you want a substantial spa break during an Ubud stay and like the idea of combining massage with facial care. It suits people who want a structured appointment, rather than choosing treatments one by one after arrival.
It is also a good match if neck and shoulder tension is your main concern. The warm stone section is dedicated to that area, and the opening oil massage gives you a broader start before the heat-focused work.
Couples, friends, and small private groups may like the format because only their group participates. Solo visitors can also book, although the private-group wording does not promise a special solo price.
I would hesitate if your priority is a long full-body massage. Only 45 minutes are allocated to Balinese oil massage, while another 45 minutes goes to shoulders and neck and a full hour goes to the face. I would also think twice if you need hotel pickup or want a treatment with a named therapist and detailed customization.
One piece of feedback suggests asking about a five-hour upgrade. That option is not described in the package details, so you should confirm its availability, price, and exact contents before planning around it. The three-hour package reviewed here is the clearly defined choice.
Should you book the warm stone package?
Book it if you want three different treatments in one private Ubud appointment, especially if warm work on your neck and shoulders sounds appealing. The $51.37 price includes refreshments and Wi-Fi, and the one-hour facial gives the package more substance than a standard massage booking.
Skip it if you only want full-body massage, need transport included, or prefer a large resort with extensive facilities. Confirm by WhatsApp the day before, use the exact Lotus Lane address, and allow time to reach the spa.
For a visitor with a sore back and shoulders after sightseeing, plus an interest in facial care, this is a sensible, well-rounded spa choice. Just judge it as a local three-hour treatment package, not as a full luxury wellness day.
