Learn to be a masseur at Alila Villas Uluwatu, Bali

Alila Villas Uluwatu is offering couples the chance to learn something new and become masseurs for the afternoon. The three-and-a-half-hour ‘Journey Beyond Two’ experience begins with a refreshing, stress-relieving cup of ginger tea and a foot bath. Couples will then learn the Japanese art of oshibori and master basic massage techniques whilst understanding the body’s key pressure points.

Next, they can put this into practice and give each other a relaxing head, back or foot massage. The experience will come to an end with a 60-minute Balinese massage followed by a candlelit dinner in a private cabana. Wonderfully private, this is a place for couples to lose themselves in blissful tranquillity. From its cliff-top position, the eco-friendly retreat commands spectacular views and enjoys golden sunsets.

The three-and-a-half-hour Journey Beyond Two Experience starts from US$561 per couple. This includes a foot bath, learning about the art ofoshibori, mastering basic massage techniques, the chance to give a massage, one 60-minute Balinese massage per person and a candlelit dinner for two in a private cabana.
