Fah Lanna traveler’s retreat package
Feb 2023

Fah Lanna Spa is a lovely place to relax and enjoy a traditional Thai massage in a tranquil setting. Arrive a little early for your appointment so you can enjoy the cup of tea they’ll have waiting for you and choose the aromatherapy oil you’d like them to use. My massage and reflexology treatments were firm but gentle. The massage therapist was skilled at what she did. It will be worthwhile to take the time to pamper yourself.

Magnificent!

What an incredible experience!! It was as if we had walked into an oasis…so peaceful. We had the traditional Thai massage for two hours. My whole body was tense, and my masseuse worked her magic on me. I promised myself that I would return.

Simply a wonderful experience!
Jan 2023

One of the best massages I’ve ever had in Thailand. I have no complaints about any aspect of their service. The complimentary shuttle service, front-of-house staff reception, the actual massage from the masseuse, and the delightful stick rice mango dessert served at the end. Simply a fantastic experience!

 

Roselle T

Great place to go for a relaxing massage
Dec 2020 • Friends

The setting is lovely and relaxing. Every time I’ve had a massage, it’s been done very well and to my liking. They ask which part you want to focus on, which is very helpful, especially when I have pain and tightness in a specific area. The workers are friendly, and you leave with a delicious mango sticky rice. Excellent experience!

3. Cheeva Spa

One of the top-knot Spas in Chiang Mai is the Cheeva Spa, an ideal place to find a luxuriously relaxing experience.

best-massage-spas-in-chiang-mai-cheeva-spa
The spa provides a wide range of services. The two most highly recommended are the Coconut Honey Scrub and Cheeva Detox Pack. When compared to certain other Thai spas in the country, the services are quite costly. For a 60-minute service, the lowest price is 1300THB.

Some visitors claim that the spa’s expertise, ambiance, professionalism, hygiene, and beverages justify the high prices. It currently has two locations, both in the city’s north. The first is located in the old town, and the second is near Nimmanhaemin Road. It has also been highlighted numerous times by the Thai Spa Awards.

Amazing Experience

We received excellent spa treatment. They picked us up from our hotel, which was very accommodating given that we had called for a same-day appointment. May was fantastic, and we will definitely return on our next trip.

 

4. Zira Spa

Within the ancient wall of Chiang Mai stands the charming Zira Spa, which is designed to relieve any tension or stress the moment you walk into its tranquil courtyard.

5. Lila Thai Massage

Lila Thai Massage isn’t the most exotic spa center in Chiang Mai, but it’s the most unique center because they give working opportunities to ex-prisoner and poor women in society.

Good Thai massage
Dec 2022 • Couples

The spa was hygienic, and the staff was both professional and courteous. We were able to pay with our VISA credit card, which was a (rare) bonus. We both chose the 1 hour Back & Shoulder Thai massage for 300 baht each. It was a powerful massage (they checked we were comfortable with the strength). Finally, we were served a delicious tea and given a small aroma pot to take home. During our stay in Chiang Mai, we will return for another massage!

Perfect
Nov 2022 • Couples

I got more than I booked! A traditional Thai massage would be too much for me, so I opted for the back and shoulders. She also did my feet, hands, arms, and a little head – it was very nice, and she was very sensitive.

 

6. Oasis Spa Lanna

As the name suggested, Oasis Spa Lanna is an oasis in the middle of Chiang Mai.

best-massage-spas-in-chiang-mai-makkha-health-spa
With its slogan, “A Slice of Heaven in The Old City”, Oasis Spa Lanna aims to create a living heaven, where customers can forget about their stressful busy life and enjoy the best treatment.

This exquisite day spa grants you the impression of the authentic Lanna experience. Oasis Spa treatments and massages combine the best ancient treatments and methods of Northern Thailand’s golden era with the most innovative, cutting-edge modern therapies.

Best Thai massage ever received
Nov 2021

I’ve lived in Thailand for seven years and have had the best Thai massage I’ve ever had. Oasis is on the higher end of the price spectrum, so I expected a better massage, but was pleasantly surprised by how thorough and professional the masseuse was. I strongly advise you to spend the extra money (which is still very cheap in Western terms) on the best massage you can get.

The best place for Hot oil aromatherapy and Thai massage
Mar 2020

It was extremely good. Very worth it despite more pricey the fact that there are many cheaper massage places in town. You pay for quality.

 

7. Makkha Health & Spa

Listing the 10 best massage spas in Chiang Mai, Makkha Health & Spa is a name we must have because of its reputation in this Northern city.

best-massage-spas-in-chiang-mai-makkha-health-spa
Over the past years, Makkha Health & Spa has spread its popularity with 4 branches in Chiang Mai and a new spa center in Bangkok. Each outlet has its own story and theme.

The original spa was created in a delightful antique wooden home, providing a genuinely traditional Thai experience. Surprisingly, their second branch has diverged in an entirely different direction. This branch, located just a few steps away from the first, is much more modern and bright.

Every product used at Makkha Spa, whether oil, scrub, lotion, or other, is 100% natural and derived from aromatic and medicinal herbs such as almonds, macadamia, and flowers. The majority of the service is provided in private twin bedrooms with double showers, allowing you to enjoy this retreat alone or as a couple.

Reasonable good Thai & aroma massage in center of Chiangmai
Jun 2022 • Friends

Modern architecture with a colonial feel. Foot, head, and back massage in private room for 850 baht. After the massage, they also serve mango and small sticky rice!
There is some parking available, and the staff is fluent in English.

Always love this spa
Feb 2020 • Friends

This is my second visit to Makkha Spa. My first visit was to the ancient house number one. I loved it so much that I had to bring a friend who happened to be in Chiangmai with me this time to try it. This time was just as enjoyable as the first. Everything is excellent, including the staff, service, and atmosphere. We emerged with soft skin and a relaxed feeling. My friend enjoyed it as well. She also stated that she would return to Makkha Spa.

 

8. Green Bamboo Massage

If you don’t want to pay too much for a massage experience, Green Bamboo Massage will be your ideal choice.

best-massage-spas-in-chiang-mai-green-bamboo
In the southeastern part of the old town, you find easily the “Green Bamboo Massage” just about 10 minutes walk from the “Tha Phae Gate”. This cozy studio is located in a typical wooden Thai house whose interiors are made of sustainable, natural materials. This massage center in Chiang Mai is an eco-friendly Spa that manufactures its own organic cosmetics. Different from the other spa that we listed, it mainly offers traditional Thai massages.

Tok Sen, a rare ancient Lanna Thai Massage technique, and Bamboo or Coconut Oil Massage are among the treatments available. In 2013, the center has been approved by the Thai Ministry of Public Health.

The services start at around 130 THB for half an hour.

Best massage in Thailand
Dec 2022 • Solo

This was the best massage I’d ever received in Thailand. They had a true oil massage bed, which was fantastic! They give you a questionnaire before your massage asking about focus areas, areas to avoid, and preferred pressure. Several times during the massage, the massage therapist checked in to ensure that everything was going well. The place was spotless, the staff was friendly, and I wholeheartedly recommend it!

Wonderful bamboo massage
Oct 2022 • Couples

A bamboo massage was an amazing experience. The entrance appears small, but once inside, there is a large space with a relaxing treatment area that feels very private. The staff is friendly, respectful, and makes you feel at ease. They take care to keep you covered except where they are massaging, and they ask if everything is fine. I would return and recommend it!

 

9. Peak Spa

Located near Shangri-la hotel and the night market of Chiang Mai, Peak Spa has a wide range of treatments to offer to their customers.

best-massage-spas-in-chiang-mai-peak-spa
The aromatic scent of essential oils gives you a soothing feeling as soon as you enter this charming spa. The crew will greet you with a smile and introduce you to all the packages offered on the menu, ranging from traditional Thai massage to hair treatments and even nail salons.

One of their signature services is an essential oil massage in a personal oriental-style room, which will relieve your daily stress with the distinct aroma of herbs. If you want to relieve extreme strain or pain, there is also a deep muscle oil massage. They also offer facial treatment, foot massages, and body scrubs.

“Not available”
Jan 2023 • Solo

I was dying for a spa day. Peak Spa was chosen because the brochure stated that they have many options. Free transportation, massages, jacuzzis, haircuts, pedicures, and so on.
As a result, I made a reservation.

It started in my hostel when I tried to book transportation. This was “unavailable.”

Everything was “not available” when I arrived, so I got a head, shoulders, and back massage and left after 60 minutes.

Two stars because the massage was excellent.

 

Julie L

Most amazing massage
Jul 2022 • Couples

We came across this spa while out walking and I’m so glad we did. We requested a foot massage, and they accommodated us right away. The modern Thai decor impressed me. When you walked in, it was very neat, clean, and smelled amazing. To begin, you are given cold tea, which is amazing!

Lha, my masseuse, was probably the best I’d ever had. She was gentle and applied just the right amount of pressure. They were clearly well-trained to massage the points on your body with the appropriate pressure. I can’t wait to return for a full-body massage; I can only imagine how wonderful that massage would be for me. Amazing!!!!

 

10. Lanna Come Spa

The last in our list of best spas in Chiang Mai is Lannacome Spa which claims to be the first Thai spa that offers products and services in Sib Song Panna styles.

best-massage-spas-in-chiang-mai-lanna-come
Sib Song Panna was a Thai Lue village with a rich culture, but unfortunately, it is slowly fading. They said, “If you want to discover Sib Song Panna, you should visit Lanna Come Spa where you can witness Thai Lue design, traditional styles of wall painting and decorating, Lanna desserts, and Sib Song Panna music”.

Visit Lanna Come Spa, customers will have the chance to experiment with different types of massage treatments, from their signature Sib Song Panna, Aroma Oil, to Ayurveda, Hand and Foot treatments.
