Bali is paradise for massage lovers — every street has a spa. But getting exactly what your body needs still comes down to how well you can communicate it. Your Massage Pass solves that.
Bali's massage culture is rich and varied. Therapists are skilled in Balinese technique, pressure work, and reflexology. But 'can you go lighter on my neck' in the middle of a session? Often lost in translation.
Use these local phrases as a guide. Massage Pass stores the preferences behind them — pressure, focus areas, areas to avoid, health notes, and session vibe — in a shareable card.

Common requests
Your pass keeps the important details ready before every session. No memorizing required.
What to expect — and why your preferences matter for each one.
Combines long strokes, gentle stretches, and acupressure. Pressure is traditionally medium-firm — specify if you want lighter.
More focused on knot-release and deep tissue work along the spine.
Tell your therapist if you have heat sensitivity or skin conditions before the stones come out.
Flowing, rhythmic strokes. Common at upscale Ubud spas — great for relaxation, specify if you want less intensity.
Tipping
20,000–50,000 IDR (≈ $1.25–3) is a generous tip. Upscale Ubud retreats sometimes include service — check the bill.
Pro tip
Check if your spa oil contains coconut or nut-based oil upfront if you have allergies. Balinese massage uses fragrant flower petals and oil blends — your pass lets you note any sensitivities.
Fill in your preferences in 2 minutes. Get a private link. Share it with any therapist in Bali before your session. They get a clear written brief with your pressure, focus areas, avoid areas, health notes, and notes. No new app, no repeated intake form.

What Massage Pass does
Massage Pass is a free digital preference card. It stores your pressure level, focus areas, areas to avoid, health conditions, quiet-session preference, and notes, then gives you a private link or QR code to share. It is not a booking marketplace, therapist directory, medical advice service, or guaranteed translation for every local language.
