Balinese massage — Pijat Bali with warm oils
Our bestselling ritual: flowing, stroking movements with warm oil, blending Ayurvedic, Chinese medicine and local Balinese influences. Find the full history and background of the technique in our guide to Balinese massage. A session from 60 minutes costs 229 PLN. Available in Gdańsk and Gdynia.
What this massage involves
The therapist combines long, enveloping stroking and kneading that spreads warm oil with acupressure (pressure on selected points), plus reflexology-inspired work on the hands and feet. Stretching is present but gentler than in Thai massage — the whole session runs at a calm, rhythmic pace that helps you settle down.
Looking for the same ritual with volcanic hot stones? That has its own page: Balinese hot stone massage. Below in the price table you'll also find variants focused on the back and shoulders, deeper muscle work, and one with a full-body scrub.
The treatment step by step
- Warming the body with warm oil — long, flowing strokes across the whole body.
- Kneading the larger muscle groups — back, thighs, calves.
- Acupressure — targeted pressure along tense areas.
- Reflexology-inspired work on the hands and feet.
- Gentle stretching of the limbs.
- Finishing with a calm massage of the neck and head.

What a visit looks like
1. Consultation. A short conversation about your preferences, any contraindications, and your choice of oil scent.
2. Preparation. A shower is available on site; fresh linens, a towel and warmed oil are all standard. Every massage also begins with a brief foot-washing ceremony. For the massage you keep your own underwear on or we give you disposable underwear, and you stay covered with a towel throughout.
3. Massage. The session runs 60–120 minutes at a calm, flowing pace. You can ask to change the pressure at any point.
4. Afterwards. A moment of rest and a glass of water — it's worth not rushing back into your day, so the calming effect lasts longer.

Contraindications and preparation
We do not perform Balinese massage in cases including oil-ingredient allergies, fresh injuries, inflammation, thrombosis, fever or infection, and — without a prior consultation — during pregnancy. For chronic illnesses please get your doctor's approval beforehand. We cover the full list in our contraindications guide.
Arrive a few minutes early if you'd like to use the shower. Your skin will be oiled afterwards — if you're heading somewhere right after, factor in a moment to rinse off. A rhythm of every 2–4 weeks works well for keeping the effects up.
