What a wonderful relaxing massage, back neck shoulder and foot massage. It sparkled throughout my body and we will simply go back again for that back, neck and shoulder massage. Very nice way to start your day

After 4 days in the game park my husband was in need of some treatment as he has many problems with back and shoulder. We came upon this little gem. Candace took the time to help my husband with a deep tissue massage, she targeted his problem areas and has vast knowledge on therapeutic massage. Thank you for giving him some comfort for the remainder of our trip.

When I arrived for my deep tissue massage I could hardly move from lower back pain. A 90 minute magic hands treatment eased the pain and got me mobile again. Thanks again Amala team, see you again soon!

Worst massage I have ever had, I specifically mentioned my right side of the body was sore. She massaged the left side for 80% of the time then I asked if I can extend it for half an hour to target the correct side and she lied and said she is fully booked even though my friend asked and she said they have two spots open. Don’t go here !

I have found my 'little piece of Heaven' in St Lucia Estuary, Amala Thai Massage and Boutique, my go-to-place once every month, if not more frequently. I am always greeted with a genuine smile and feel ever so welcomed by Candace, who is an excellent masseuse, leaving me floating on cloud nine for hours after every massage. The tranquil ambience adds to the relaxation process during massages, taking you on an 'out-of-this-world' journey, leaving you rejuvenated and feeling like a completely new person afterwards. Always look forward to my appointments at my 'Little piece of Heaven'.

Went with a friend. I had a deep tissue with the owner, Candace, and had a 5 star experience: professional, scrupolous, technically proficient, would go back anytime for it. My friend was treated by an assistant who probably still had things to learn and who didn’t make her too happy. Pity, because I would have loved to return before my departure the next day. I will definitely go back and ask for Candace’s expertise.

We enjoyed a good massage at a great price after travelling for 2 weeks. It is uncomfortable when the phone rings or there are conversations going on since the space is very small. I would suggest to try and improve the facilities and the bathroom to be used by guests. It is a place with a good intention good service. Sales of some small jewelry and beauty products, as well as tea.

Candace the owner has a real gift with her 'healing hands'. The Thai aromatherapy massage is so relaxing and I feel like a new person after a session. I love the foot massages too a real treat for tired aching feet. A definite must visit while in St Lucia!
