Lavella Spa on Koh Phangan really knows how to create a relaxing vibe. The spa has this beautiful atmosphere with calming music, a faint fragrance in the air, and even a little extra treat—mango sticky rice and tea after your session. That’s a big win in our book! 

Former clients rave about their Thai oil massage, which perfectly balances firm and gentle techniques. The private rooms, especially with the jungle view on the top floor, add a special touch.

However, we noticed that not every session is consistent. While many love the massages, some past clients mentioned a mismatch in pressure despite their preferences. It’s worth noting that if you’re into super firm massages, you might find your perfect fit here. 

Still, the overall experience, from the peaceful setting to those thoughtful details, makes Lavella Spa stand out as a memorable place to unwind.

Great value with clean facilities and thoughtful extras

“Great spa with extraordinary service. The massages aren’t more expensive than in other spots but in my opinion Lavella Spa offers way more for the same price.

I booked a classic 1h Thai massage with Dan. Before the massage I could decide which body part I want the focus to be on and the intensity of the massage.

Everything was very clean and after the massage I was served some mango sticky rice and a tea!”

Calming spot with refreshing Thai oil massage

“This place is super calming and serene. Probably should visit during your trip. Felt so refreshing after the Thai oil massage ☺️ 

And the whole service was smooth. Gave us the mango sticky rice after service. Would like to visit again.”

Pure Relax Spa delivers exactly what its name promises—a cozy and calming space to unwind. The private rooms are air-conditioned, which is a plus when you’re trying to escape the tropical heat. 

Former clients rave about their attention to detail, with some even gifting spa packages as wedding presents—now that’s a glowing endorsement!

Pure Relax Spa also offers a variety of massage options, from Thai oil to spa packages that blend techniques with soothing balms. One unique touch mentioned we liked was their use of tiger balm mixed with oil during massages, leaving us feeling refreshed and energized!

However, not every experience seems to hit the mark. A few visitors we spoke with felt the sessions didn’t meet their expectations—it might be a matter of preference, though.

Despite this, Pure Relax’s clean, cozy atmosphere and range of options make it worth checking out if you’re in Koh Phangan.

Best massage in Thailand with relaxing music

“Best massage I have ever had in the whole of Thailand. I had foot, neck, head and shoulders. 

What I loved most is the staff do not talk to each other which is what happens in a lot of massage place and they play the most relaxing music. I will come here every time I’m in Phangan🥰 …”

Professional massage with great communication

“We had a really relaxing full body massage with coconut oil and a foot massage at this spa. It was really professional and we felt very comfortable. 

They also speak good English which is important to us as well. They asked us during the massage if everything was OK. When they’re finished you get a nice cup of tea 🫖  Would go here if you’re around!”

Sanya Massage is a hidden gem in Koh Phangan that many past clients swear by. We talked to people who’ve been coming here, and they all agree—it’s not just a massage; it’s an experience. 

What stood out to us was the personal touch. Sanya herself has decades of experience, and people say she has a way of finding those trouble spots and working magic on them. 

We love how the space is tucked away on a quiet street but still easy to find near the Thongsala piers. The setup is simple and clean—don’t expect luxury, but do expect quality. 

A few past clients warned that her strong massage can be intense, so if you’re not into that, be clear about your preference. For us, it was the perfect mix of therapeutic and relaxing. 

Bonus points for the thoughtful advice Sanya gives after the massage—she really cares about her craft.

Six stars for healing hands and an amazing team

“I would give you 6 stars if I could! Thank you for your healing hands, you and your team are amazing 🇹🇭🙏 …”

Respectful, professional, and tailored massages

“Friendly ladies and had a wonderful coconut oil massage and my friend a foot scrub. This was better than where he had it done before. Professional. 

They ask if you want a soft or hard massage, so everything was completely to your liking. Men who are looking for something erotic do NOT have to come here and ask. 

Have respect for these women! 🥰”

Siam Heritage Massage & Spa takes things up a notch with its attention to detail. Former clients say it’s the best massage shop on the island, and we can see why. 

We loved the little extras, like being given headphones with relaxing music and a warm collar on the neck during the session. It’s these small touches that made the experience feel special.

The foot massage here was our favorite. Clients are covered with a cozy blanket, and they even use an eye mask to help them fully relax.

One past client even described it as “the best foot massage they’ve ever had,” and we couldn’t agree more. 

However, it’s worth noting that prices here are a bit higher than average, but we think it’s justified for what you get. If you’re looking to treat yourself, this is definitely the place to go.

Stylish design with thoughtful details and a heated massage table

“I absolutely adore this design – such a stylish and inviting place. The thought and care put into every detail – be it tactile, aromatic, or visual – are truly evident. 

The heated massage table is a standout feature that guarantees a memorable experience. We will certainly return and wholeheartedly recommend this place to our friends. 🙏.”

Best massage on the island, totally worth the price

“The best massage place I’ve experienced on the island. It’s pricier than other options but totally worth it. 

Very high standards in terms of atmosphere, cleanliness, therapists, and just general care. Highly recommend!”

Kanda Massage keeps things simple but does it right. Former clients often mention how clean and relaxing the space is, and we couldn’t agree more. 

We loved the calm atmosphere, and the air-conditioned rooms were a huge plus—it made the whole experience so much more comfortable.

We tried the oil massage and liked how the therapists regularly checked in to make sure everything felt right. One thing we noticed, though, is that the vibe can vary depending on timing. 

Some past clients mentioned issues like rushed sessions or uneven experiences, but our visit was smooth and relaxing.

What’s great about Kanda is that it doesn’t try to be fancy—it’s straightforward and gets the job done well. The tea served afterward was a nice touch, and we’d happily recommend this spot for anyone looking to unwind without breaking the bank.

Loved it so much, I went every day

“LOVE THIS PLACE. It‘s just perfect and I went there everyday for one week. This massages are professional and awesome, I felt like a new person and so relaxed after every massage I got. 

Recommended it to all my friends and everyone loved it”

Amazing oil massage and relaxing tea at the end

“I went for the oil massage and it was so so relaxing, the Thai massage was a good deep tissue as per the boyfriend but I loved the oil massage.

Great ladies and they give you delicious tea after. I feel amazing !”
