Sublime Spa Experience

First-time Magical Mai Thai Massage
Apr 2021
For the first time in my life, I was gifted the experience of a full-body massage and facial. I have no prior experience to compare it to, but I can speak to the magic of it because of the sense of relaxing peace I felt integrated within my mind, body and spirit. I left feeling more connected to myself.
The lady who worked on me was incredibly gentle, professional, knowledgeable and I was impressed by her consciousness of how my body was responding to the massage therapy and treatment overall.
I am extremely grateful to Mai Thai Wellness Spa for this wondrous experience, and will definitely be back at the nearest opportunity!

Beautiful, authentic and calm. The perfect place to unwind and re-energise
Apr 2020
We had a wonderful day at Mai Thai Wellness Spa. From the moment we walked through the door we felt relaxed and comfortable. Beautiful surroundings and an attentive, welcoming team.
We tried the deep tissue massage and the aromatherapy massage and we both enjoyed our massages thoroughly. Highly recommend this spa and will definitely go back again!

Peaceful descent into pure relaxation
Jan 2021
I had the most wonderful full body massage at Mai Thai Spa. I am one who has suffered with chronic neck and shoulder pain and have been to numerous professionals including neuromuscular therapists, chiropractors, physios, osteopaths and even kinesiologists and have never left any of them feeling as relaxed and rejuvenated as the time I left Mai Thai after my full body signature Mai Thai massage with Nelly. The ladies who work there are friendly, professional and extremely knowledgeable, and ease one into pure paradise through their massaging techniques.
Would recommend to anyone who is in need of some physical and spiritual relaxation.

Exceptional massage
Jan 2021
This personal and professional spa on quaint Dixon Street in De Waterkant is a real find. I had the Mai Thai Signature Massage with Esta, which was heavenly. She had just the right touch and was excellent! I felt totally pampered and rejuvenated. Highly recommended.

Absolutely incredible experience
Feb 2021 • Couples
We had the most incredible 90minute signature Mai Thai massage. Not only did I feel safe, all COVID safety protocols were followed, but I was also welcomed by the most amazing staff. It’s such a relaxing environment with such attention to detail. Everything was an experience, from the positive message that gets given to you from the monk (do ask for that story- it’s so cute) to the choosing of your most desired oil for the massage. The massage itself was absolutely incredible. I left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. Best spa in Cape Town, I’ll recommend it to absolutely anyone who needs some TLC.

Overall an amazing experience
Jan 2021 • Friends
The spa is beautifully done with a real Thai zen feel. I got a 90 massage which was top quality all the way through. Felt like staying and reading my book on the loungers afterwards.

BEST Massage at a Gem of a Spa
Jan 2021 • Friends
Wow wow wow 20 / 10 - honestly I have no words! From start to finish such a magical experience... The staff were professional yet friendly and welcoming and every little detail had been thought out. The Spa is beautiful done and you feel like you could be in Thailand or on some tropical island. The actual massage was incredible and the therapists had amazing techniques and knew how to work all the different muscles. I would recommend their 90minute Signature massage - INCREDIBLE. They followed all of the Covid protocols and I would highly recommend this gem of a spot in De Waterkant!
