🌴 A perfect place to slow down, recharge, and end our Bali trip on a beautiful note.
Onyx was the perfect choice for the final day of our Bali trip.
My friend and I have visited Bali several times, which also means that we no longer feel the need to stay in the busiest central areas. This time, what we really wanted was a quiet place where we could rest, slow down, and recharge before returning home. Onyx Spa Resort turned out to be exactly that.
From the moment we arrived at reception, we were especially grateful for the warm welcome and thoughtful hospitality of every member of staff. We arrived earlier than the official check-in time as we wanted to enjoy the pool and spa facilities first, and the entire process, from storing our luggage to eventually checking into our room, was seamless. A special thank you to Peri, who kept us informed throughout and made sure everything was handled smoothly.
The room itself was spotless, and we also appreciated being able to select and request the amenities we needed. We had no issues with noise, and the natural sunlight pouring into the room made the space feel fresh and uplifting. The bedding was also exceptionally well maintained, and we had a very comfortable night’s sleep.

Even during our short one-night stay, we managed to enjoy the pool and pool bar, smoothie bar, salad bar, Georgia Restaurant, Hutan Spa, and Onyx Spa.
-The pool bar was a wonderful place to slow down and enjoy Bali’s beautiful weather, and both the food and service made it easy to spend a relaxed afternoon there.
-The smoothies and salads were healthy yet genuinely delicious, and this was one of the moments when we really felt that Onyx is not simply a resort, but a place with a genuine wellness philosophy. If I return for a longer stay, I would happily start every morning with one of their smoothies.
-Georgia Restaurant was another memorable part of our stay. Being able to enjoy shisha there created the perfect setting for a slow evening with my friend, talking through our memories from the trip. The flavour combination recommended by the shisha master was also excellent.
-We are both big sauna lovers, so we especially enjoyed the sauna at Onyx Spa, together with the extremely, extremely cold plunge pool, which was surprisingly fun and incredibly refreshing.
To finish the trip, I had a massage with Kadex at Hutan Spa, and it was easily the best massage I received during this visit to Bali. I left feeling completely refreshed, and it made the journey to the airport feel much lighter.
Although we stayed for only one night, Onyx gave us exactly the sense of rest and recharge we had hoped for. We would absolutely love to return for a longer retreat-style stay in the future. Thanks to the bright smiles, warmth, and kindness of the entire team, we were able to return to everyday life feeling genuinely refreshed.
For us, Onyx was one of the best possible ways to end a Bali trip. Thank you to everyone who made our stay so enjoyable.
One very personal thought: there are several large figurative paintings throughout the hotel and guest rooms. They are certainly striking, but I found myself imagining how beautifully the space might work with more abstract, calm, and contemporary artworks. I think that kind of visual language could complement Onyx’s refined wellness atmosphere even more beautifully.
