There’s nothing quite like a true massage. Even a lower back rub, soaking your toes in heat water, or slapping on a cooling mud-pack is sufficient to make you experience rejuvenation at the cease of a demanding workweek. We’ve sifted through Goa’s top spas and here’s the best spas in Goa where you can pick out from, the subsequent time you’re craving some time out.
Devaaya, Diwar Island
Set on a large, luxuriously green property on Diwar Island, just across the River Mandovi, about 10 km from Panjim, this is the perfect place for a spa weekend or getaway. With 60 well-appointed Goan cottages to choose from and extensive facilities and treatments such as Ayurveda, Panchakarma and Naturopathy, Devaaya takes its health and wellness seriously and is perfect for longer stays of more than 2-3 days. The team of qualified doctors and masseurs will recommend the right treatment and help you relax, rejuvenate, and throw in a bit of pampering.
Address: Divar Island
Warren Tricomi
Warren Tricomi has their salon at the Novotel Goa Resort, which is like an oasis of calm in the ever-busy Candolim. Of course, part of the famous global brand, this one is the only branch in Goa that offers a couple’s Hamman Ritual room, along with seven other individual treatment rooms. Their signature Hammam treatment which includes a skin soothing session on a heated stone, an exfoliating scrub, a massage and wrap and ends with a Vichy shower is a must-do. Of course, they have Ayurvedic and other treatments on offer too, but we would definitely go for their signature offering.

Aroma Thai, Baga
There’s a reason why many people prefer the Thai style massage over the typical Indian maalish. It focuses on pressure points rather than overall massaging, and stays clear of using any sort of oils. At Aroma Thai, you can choose from a traditional Thai Massage, Aroma Therapy or the most blissful of them all – Deep Tissue Massage. Brides and grooms to-be can choose from a whole menu of therapies to de-stress, detox and pamper themselves before their big day. But if you don’t want to spring for a full treatment, Aroma Thai also offers foot massages, back rubs and head steam.

Zaara, Arpora
Next on the best spas in Goa is Zaara. On those days when nothing less than a luxurious and indulgent pampering session will do, you need to head to Zaara. The luxury spa in Arpora has therapies that include hydro-aroma body nourishing, cellulite-breaking treatments and hot-stone massages that will make you zen out in no time. If your idea of a spa day is to shut yourself out from the world, walk into an oasis of bliss and emerge refreshed, this is the place for you.

Spa Alila, Majorda
Last on the best spas in Goa is Everything at Spa Alila. It spells indulgence and rejuvenation is serious business here. We’re talking two different cards for spa treatments and Ayurvedic detox treatments. The hotel is located in a gorgeous part of Majorda, and away from the humdrum of the beach, making it the perfect place for a peaceful spa day. With ample space, each massage chamber has individual steam and shower areas. If you are an outdoor sort of person, you can take your massage to the enclosed patio with daybeds. Still not luxurious enough for you? Try their private jacuzzi and sauna.
