OLU SPA

Massage spa

👍👍 Great spa in the heart of Galle. Nice private rooms looking up to a beautiful vaulted ceiling in the old Dutch hospital. Probably the best massage I’ve had. The steam shower at the end was a nice addition. Overall very good value. Highly recommended after a few days of surfing pains. People often mention massage, relaxing, good, massages, deep, great, tissue, therapist, body, professional,

    (Translated by Google) Be careful with your personal belongings !!!! I want to warn everyone and tell about my visit to this spa. I was on the procedure “Full Body Massage”, after which the client is sent to the shower and steam sauna. Returning to the massage room, I packed my things and left. However, after I discovered that I had lost a $ 100 bill from my wallet. No one responded to my request to check the surveillance cameras! So be careful, in this spa steal money! (Original) Осторожнее со своими личными вещами!!!! Хочу предупредить всех и рассказать о своём посещении данного СПА. Я была на процедуре «Массаж всего тела», после которой клиента отправляют в душ и паровую сауну. Вернувшись в массажный кабинет, я собрала свои вещи и ушла. Однако после обнаружила, что у меня пропала купюра 100$ из кошелька. На мою просьбу проверить камеры наблюдения никто не отреагировал! Так что будьте аккуратны, в этом СПА крадут деньги!

    Good location, clean and relaxing environment. My partner and I both booked for 90 minute deep tissue massages. One was good (female therapist) the other wasn’t (male therapist). However, the male therapist was engaged and tried to adjust style but unfortunately his lack of experience with deep tissue massage and my lack of Sri Lankan vocabulary to ask for a different type of massage meant it wasn’t enjoyable. Wouldn’t suggest avoiding, just choosing an alternate treatment to deep tissue if you book with male therapist. Massages are competitively priced.

    Agree with previous reviews - we chose to have two 90 mins deep tissue massages (male therapists) whom lacked technique and strength. They did ask whether the strength was alright during the massage itself but could hear through their breathing that they were struggling, so I didn’t press the issue more. Towels smelt like rancid oil from previous massages. BEWARE (!!!) that they advertise their services in USD on their menu cards but charge (whether in cash or credit card) in local currency. This means that Olu Spa charged us USD$58 per person for the massage but then used the “official bank rate” to convert into Rupees which benefits them, and therefore earn USD$5 to $10 more than the quoted price. I did question them why they did this and they offered to give me cash for the price discrepancy, to which I declined with a comment that this practice somewhat cheats your customers. They were unable to further answer after this comment.

    Extremely average place. Did not enjoy the massage, and there was too much of commotion outside - you could hear everything - definitely will not recommend if you are expecting relaxation. Expect male masseurs. I am sure there are better places.

    Best massages ever. I had a full body, legs and shoulders message. Clean, great atmosphere, very professional and caring staff. I ended up going there 3 times while I was in SriLanka. Surly will visit again.

    (Translated by Google) Super service, excellent courteous personal advice. Very clean. What really excited me was the question of whether I would like to be treated by a woman or a man. Calm and relaxing atmosphere. I cannot confirm the allegations of theft from a previous review. Go there every time I visit Sri Lanka, never could complain. (Original) Super Service, exzellente zuvorkommende persönliche Beratung. Sehr sauber. Was mich sehr begeistert hat,war die Frage, ob ich von einer Frau oder einem Mann behandelt werden möchte. Ruhige und entspannende Atmosphäre. Die Vorwürfe des Diebstahls aus einer zuvor stehenden Bewertung, kann ich nicht bestätigen. Gehe dort zu jedem Sri Lanka Besuch hin, konnte mich noch nie beschweren.

    I stumbled upon this place on our first day in Galle Fort and I was not disappointed. I got an Ayurvedic relaxing massage on two separate days and the staff knew exactly what they were doing!! I was extremely happy with their service.

    We had the full body Ayurvedic relaxing massage and it was the best thing we did during our stay in Galle. The owner is really genuinely nice and the place is stunning from the inside. Very relaxing and calm. The masseuse was really good and nice. After the massage, we had a steam bath and shower followed by a tasty herbal tea. It was a great experience, definitely a 10/10 Wishing everyone at Olu Spa all the best and we will be back :)

    Overall, massage was good but they should try to concern more about time. I think I missed at least 15 mins from a 90 mins deep tissue massage.

    The massage is okey, it is relaxing but pretty basic and not really profesional. We were 3 person asking for the same massage and at the end we realize that we had completely different massages. It is expensive for the service they offer.

    I had a full body massage by Upeksha. She was the best thing there! Her massage was professional and I could tell she was following the muscles and finding tension spots. The place needed some attention and those towels need a boil wash to get the heavy massage oil out of them, but Upeksha is the best masseuse I’ve experienced, so all is forgiven!!

    an upmarket spa at galle fort. Lots of different packages to chose from. Be aware they dont have more than 5 or 6 beds so if you going in a large group you will need to stagger your massages. They sell a lot off organic products also .Friendly staff

    I had a great Shirodara treatment with the masseuse here. Very professional, I felt she really was doing her best to provide a good massage and I really enjoyed it ! Thank you. Note that improvement can be made on the shower room, which was not clean enough in my opinion.

    One of the best massages in Sri Lanka

    We booked in for 45 minute foot massages. I would really call mine a foot rub. It was certainly relaxing (I fell asleep at one stage) but not the invigorating deep massage I would expect from a massage in Australia. I guess it was a pleasant way to spend some time out of the heat. It was disappointing when they asked for cash - we’ve been avoiding carrying that much around. The issue was settled when they borrowed the card machine from the cafe nearby.

    We both desperately needed a massage after a long flight and tiring walks. And the strength of the massage was perfect, they asked many times if it was hard enough. I’m athletic build and need deep tissue. Will return definitely before we head home. Better to arrange appointment before going.

  • 2/5 Alexander N. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Massage is unprofessional. Memorized mechanical movements. Absolutely no feedback from the body and sensations. He was with a friend, he has the same story. The muscles are a bit washed out. After Taya and Bali, a miserable parody. Sometimes it hurt, but not the muscles, but the skin due to unprofessionalism. The head was rubbed through the hair so that she got a little sick. They didn’t get pleasure, they spent considerable money. (Original) Массаж непрофессиональный. Заученные механические движения. Абсолютно никакой обратной связи с телом и ощущениями. Был с другом, у него такая же история. Мышцы немного промяли. После Тая и Бали, жалкая пародия. Порой было больно, но не мышцам, а коже из-за непрофессионализма. Голову натерли через волосы так, что она немного заболела. Удовольствие не получили, деньги потратили немалые.
