For most conventional day-spa concepts, KBLI 96230 is the current starting classification to review. But selecting 96230 is only one part of spa business licensing in Bali: the treatment menu, company structure, operating premises, OSS licensing output and supporting licenses must also match the real business.
The most important mistake to avoid is choosing the company and KBLI from the word ‘spa’ alone. A day spa, a spa inside accommodation and a concept that includes medical or practitioner-led treatments can require different classification analysis.
Use this sequence: Treatment Menu → KBLI → Company → Location → OSS → Supporting License → Opening.
Spa Business Licensing in Bali: KBLI 96230 and OSS Requirements
Under the current KBLI 2025 classification issued by Statistics Indonesia, 96230 is ‘Aktivitas Sante Par Aqua (SPA) Harian, Sauna, dan Pemandian Uap’ and covers holistic wellness and care activities using water and supporting treatments.
Indonesia’s current national licensing framework is Government Regulation No. 28 of 2025, which BKPM JDIH lists as in force.
The practical result is that spa licensing has two separate questions:
- Does the treatment menu belong under KBLI 96230?
- What licensing and supporting requirements does OSS assign to the actual project?
Do not answer the second question before resolving the first.
What Does KBLI 96230 Cover?
The official KBLI 2025 description includes day spas, Turkish baths, saunas, steam baths, solariums and slimming or body-reduction salons within 96230.
It also describes holistic care using water and supporting treatments such as massage with herbal preparations, aromatherapy, physical exercise, color therapy, music therapy and related wellness elements.
Activities Included in KBLI 96230
A typical 96230 review may therefore start with services such as:
- Day-spa treatments
- Sauna
- Steam bath
- Water-based wellness treatments
- Aromatherapy
- Non-medical wellness massage within the classified spa concept
- Slimming or body-reduction salon activities
The classification should still be checked against the actual menu rather than copied from another business’s NIB.
Activities That Need Separate Review
The same KBLI 2025 source excludes specified medical massage therapist activities and physical-wellbeing services provided as part of accommodation activities from this class.
This matters for businesses combining spa services with:
- Medical or clinical treatment
- Practitioner-led healthcare
- Hotel or resort accommodation
- Wellness retreats with accommodation
- Fitness businesses
- Beauty services outside the spa scope
- Retail products
- Food and beverage activities
Those additions do not automatically fit into 96230 merely because they share the same premises or brand.
Ordinary Spa vs Medical SPA in OSS
The current OSS spa classification page shows the conversion of former KBLI 96122 to 96230 and separately displays ordinary spa scope and spa businesses moving toward Medical SPA.
That distinction is a warning against treating medical services as a simple extension of a conventional spa license.
If the concept includes medical diagnosis, medical procedures, healthcare practitioners or treatments that cross into regulated health services, the treatment menu should be classified again before the company and licensing package are finalized.
This page does not state that one particular medical license automatically applies because the correct healthcare classification depends on the actual service and provider model.
Statistics Indonesia’s current KBLI 2020–2025 conversion release confirms the official transition framework, under which former spa and other fitness classifications feed into the new KBLI 2025 structure.
What OSS Requirements Should a Bali Spa Check?
A spa setup should not be reduced to ‘get an NIB.’
The licensing review should separate:
| Licensing layer | What to check |
|---|---|
| Company | PT PMDN or PT PMA and the correct corporate scope |
| KBLI | Whether 96230 matches the actual treatment menu |
| OSS/NIB | Correct company, activity and project-location data |
| Business licensing | The current risk-based output assigned to the activity |
| PB UMKU | Supporting licensing displayed for the relevant spa activity |
| Sector standards | Tourism and any other sector rules applicable to the actual services |
| Premises | Whether the location can support the licensed operating model |
The value of this separation is practical: one layer can be complete while another still requires action.
Is the NIB Enough to Open a Spa?
Not necessarily.
A business should treat the NIB as part of the OSS process and then confirm the business-license and supporting-license status shown for its actual activity, scope and location before assuming operational readiness.
Spa licensing should also be reviewed within the current tourism-sector framework under Minister of Tourism Regulation No. 6 of 2025, which the government regulation database lists as in force.
The exact checklist should come from the live OSS project rather than from an old screenshot, a consultant’s generic list or another spa’s historical licenses.
Sertifikat Laik Sehat and Supporting Licensing
The live OSS PB UMKU listing currently links KBLI 96230 to ‘Sertifikat laik sehat – di wilayah’ as an available supporting business license.
That is an important current signal, but the public OSS page checked for this article does not expose enough detail to responsibly invent:
- A universal application sequence
- A fixed fee
- One issuing authority for every location
- A guaranteed inspection schedule
- A fixed processing time
Those details should be checked against the live project and the competent authority for the actual Bali location.
Does the Spa Location Matter?
Yes. A spa is a premises-dependent business in practical terms because customers receive treatments at a physical site.
Before committing to a property, check whether the intended operation, layout and additional activities match the location and licensing plan.
The location review is especially important if the project includes accommodation, food and beverage, pools, major building work or another activity requiring its own licensing path.
A lease agreement and an NIB do not by themselves establish that every proposed activity can be operated from a particular property.
Foreign-Owned Spa Companies
If the spa will be foreign-owned, company structure should be reviewed before incorporation rather than after the lease, fit-out and treatment menu have already been fixed.
This article does not state a universal foreign-ownership percentage for KBLI 96230 because the current foreign-investment treatment for the exact activity should be verified from the applicable investment framework and live OSS position before shareholders rely on it.
If the spa will be foreign-owned, Bali Legal ID’s verified PT PMA Setup service is the relevant company-establishment workstream, while the actual spa activity and licensing still need to be checked separately.
A Practical Spa Licensing Process in Bali
Use the following sequence before planning an opening date.
1. Define the Treatment Menu
List every service that will generate revenue. Separate ordinary spa treatments from medical, beauty, fitness, accommodation, retail and F&B activities.
2. Confirm the KBLI Combination
Check whether 96230 covers the core business and identify any additional classifications required for separate activities.
3. Confirm the Company Structure
Determine whether the business will use a domestic company structure or PT PMA and verify the ownership treatment before incorporation.
4. Review the Proposed Premises
Check the site before committing significant fit-out expenditure. The real operating location should support the activities that will be registered.
5. Register the Correct Activity in OSS
Enter the company, KBLI and project-location data accurately and review the licensing output generated for the actual business.
6. Complete Supporting Requirements
Review PB UMKU and other sector-specific requirements displayed for the activity. Do not assume they are complete merely because an NIB has been issued.
7. Reconcile Before Opening
Compare the final treatment menu, company documents, KBLI, OSS data, licenses, premises and supporting approvals before accepting customers.
For businesses that need help moving from classification to licensing, Bali Legal ID’s verified NIB OSS RBA Registration service covers business classification, OSS account setup, NIB issuance and supporting licenses.
What to Prepare Before a Licensing Review
A useful initial file should include:
- Proposed business name
- Domestic or foreign ownership structure
- Complete treatment and service menu
- Identification of any medical or practitioner-led services
- Proposed Bali business address
- Lease or proposed premises information
- Accommodation, fitness, retail or F&B components
- Existing company documents if the business has already been established
- Existing NIB and OSS project data if available
- Current licenses if the project is being amended rather than newly established
Providing the real business model at the start is more useful than asking for ‘a spa license’ without defining what the spa will actually do.
Conclusion
For Spa Business Licensing in Bali: KBLI 96230 and OSS Requirements, the first decision is whether the actual treatment menu fits KBLI 96230.
The current KBLI covers day-spa, sauna, steam-bath and related holistic wellness activities, but it has important exclusions. Medical or practitioner-led services, accommodation-based wellness and additional commercial activities should be reviewed separately rather than forced into one spa classification.
After the KBLI is confirmed, the business should align the company structure, Bali premises, OSS/NIB data, current activity licensing and supporting PB UMKU before treating the spa as ready to operate.
The practical rule is: classify the treatments first, register the correct business second, verify the premises third and complete the licensing shown for the actual project before opening.
Review the Spa Activity Before Filing in OSS
If you are preparing a spa or wellness business in Bali, start with the complete treatment menu, ownership structure, proposed premises and any additional activities such as accommodation, fitness, beauty, retail or food and beverage.
Discuss the licensing scope with Bali Legal ID to identify whether the next step should involve PT PMA Setup, business classification, NIB OSS RBA Registration or supporting licensing for the proposed spa operation.
FAQ
What is KBLI 96230 for a spa business in Bali?
KBLI 2025 code 96230 covers day SPA, sauna and steam-bath activities and related holistic wellness and care services. The exact treatment menu should still be reviewed because the classification contains exclusions.
Does KBLI 96230 cover a Medical SPA?
Do not assume that ordinary 96230 licensing alone covers a Medical SPA. OSS distinguishes ordinary spa scope from spa businesses moving toward Medical SPA, while the KBLI classification also excludes specified medical massage therapist activities.
Does a spa need more than an NIB?
Potentially yes. The business should check the activity-specific licensing output and supporting PB UMKU shown in OSS. OSS currently links KBLI 96230 to a regional health-fitness certificate.
Does KBLI 96230 apply to a spa inside a hotel or resort?
The KBLI 2025 description excludes physical-wellbeing services that form part of accommodation activities from 96230, so an accommodation-based spa should be reviewed against the actual operating structure rather than automatically using the standalone day-spa classification.
Can a foreign investor open a spa in Bali?
A foreign-owned project can require PT PMA structuring, but the current foreign-investment eligibility and ownership treatment for the exact activity should be verified before the company is established. This page does not assume a universal foreign-ownership percentage for KBLI 96230.
When should I review the spa location?
Ideally before committing significant lease or fit-out expenditure. The proposed premises should be checked against the treatment menu, KBLI, OSS project location and any supporting sector requirements.
