👍 Discovered this place after reading good reviews on Google. My husband did a 45 min scrub. My son and I did a 45 min foot reflexology. The place and rooms are tastefully done. Clean and neat. Therapists are well mannered. Price is reasonable. The only negative comment is that I would have preferred... People often mention massage, nice, construction, full, massages, good, treatment, scrub, relaxing, coconut,

Therapists are well mannered. Price is reasonable. The only negative comment is that I would have preferred that the therapists cleaned our feet before massaging. My husband was extremely happy with his scrub. I like it so much that I book again for a 90 min Ayurveda massage tomorrow 🥰

    Really nice SPA. We booked 90 minutes Ayurvedic massage (our third during our in Sri Lanka) in a couple room. The massage was very nice and super relaxing. The place itself is also nice, and not so close to the road, so it’s pretty quiet as well. They do not play any music, but we went there at 6 o’clock, so it was the prayer time, and we’ve heard the sounds from the temple close by. It was very relaxing. Later on we’ve heard nature sounds as well. At the end we got a fresh coconut as well. The staff is nice but quite distant. For some people it might be an advantage, for some not. We didn’t mind.

    A very nice and peaceful place. Prices are not low, but the atmosphere was cozy. One massagist was very easy, and the other - really worked her way through all my muscles! We both liked what we got. They give free water and coconuts to their clients. Thank you

    Professional and trained masseurs make a whole lot of difference and this place ticks the right check boxes. I opted for a foot massage and it was extremely relaxing. The place is professional, the people are extremely well behaved. They have a great hospitable touch as well. One of the better options at Unawatuna

    This was so so gooood. We did the full treatment there and felt so relaxed. The staff was very nice and gentle. Ranjani was my masseuse and she was really kind and made me feel comfortable. The place was very quiet, clean and peaceful although it is closer to a busy road. The prices were very reasonable too. Just note that they don't recommend taking a shower within the first hour after certain treatments. So we had to change plans as the whole body was very oily including hair (after shirodhara treatment). Totally totally recommended this spa ❤️❤️❤️

    A hidden gem hidden down a little alleyway. My wife and myself went for the full treatment. Shirodhara, massage and a steam bath. The experience was relaxing with only the sounds of nature. It was that good we rebooked for 48 hours later.

    My boyfriend and I each got 30 min scrub plus 90 minute deep tissue massages. This was the better scrubs I have gotten, it felt like a massage with a scrub, vs other places a scrub feels like a scrub down. They had a warm shower to shower after and then onto the massage. I get massages at home and the masseuse was on par with what I get at home and using the same techniques. I would absolutely come back again.

    A good massage, followed by a coconut treat.

    Probably the best massage of my life. I had the Ayurveda massage for 60 minutes with SANDUN. I could tell that he was extremely passionate about his work. He was very thorough and gave focus to the areas i requested. Fantastic. I would give 10 stars if I could. Will return. Thank you again!

    Great back massage. Firm and relieving. I recommend with your eyes closed. A somewhat cold welcome from the gentleman at the entrance.

    I love it here. Two years ago i had the first massages and now i'm back and i love the little oasis away from the busy street. I love that there is no cheap music in the background and nature sounds. And if all guests would behave respectful there would be no chattings around. I also habe deep tissue massages and as a surfer they help me a lot. The coconut after treatment js also really nice.

    We had 2 massages here, both were wonderful. The location is beautiful, you feel like you are in the jungle. It's super cozy and the massages are very high quality at a good price.

    I tried the full body and the steam bath and it was very pleasant. It has a very good price, and it is a pleasant massage in a pleasant environment, although the entrance does not give that impression.

    My friend and I absolutely enjoyed the pampering session! We picked the full Ayurvedic massage and hand reflexology. It was amazing! The ambience is very relaxing and clean.

    Good massage and general service. A bit too noisy when I was there but they respected my wishes and avoided my broken rib and neck which can only be massaged gently. Great value at 9000 for 2 hours 40 minutes for full treatment package. Also I have heart issues so they replaced the herbal steam bath with a good facial massage.

    My recent visit for a full body massage, including a rejuvenating face massage, was an absolute delight and exceeded all expectations. The therapist exhibited skill and precision, ensuring every knot and tension was gently eased away. The addition of the face massage was a delightful touch, leaving me feeling both invigorated and calm. The professionalism extended to the entire staff. The reception desk, in particular, stood out for warmth and efficiency. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and cared for. In conclusion, The Sanctuary is a tranquil oasis where excellence is not only practiced in the massage rooms but resonates throughout the entire space. If you're seeking for a full body massage with an exciting twist, coupled with a clean, professional, and genuinely kind atmosphere, look no further. This is a gem worth experiencing. I will be back soon 😊!

    The only reason I'm not giving this place a single star is that they offered compensation for their poor service. This is supposed to be a massage spa, where people go to relax. If that's your intention think twice: - As of 12th December 2023 there's construction on site. That means drill and other construction noises while you get a massage - There's no music, you hear all people talking around you and in my case construction noises on top - There's no shower. So after the massage you're left with your oily body You'd expect a massage spa to warn their guests about ongoing construction before the booking or close down the business until construction work finishes. This business chose to capture as much as money possible at the cost of the quality of their service. Some funny facts from massage session: - When I first complained about the construction to the massage therapist, she first claimed that is construction of another hotel nearby. She tried to put napkins into my ears, of course it had zero effect on the noise. - Second time I complained, this time she agreed to talk to construction workers. - The guy who's running the place claimed they were doing the construction work, because he was not on site. I mean, come on guys find a better excuse. Has anyone seen a massage spa operating from a construction site before?

    Really nice full body treatment, attentive massage therapist. Great prices. I would return. I do think I surprised the staff by arriving at 9:26am for my 9:30am appointment but it was not a problem.They were quick to get me started . Towels could use some freshening up as they smelled sour and didn’t look very clean.

    Beautiful Little Place in a Back Road in calm garden area. No music needed as you hear the birds and we enjoyed both a great massage after intense travels. Will try to come back. Highly recommended.

    Perfect place for a massage. It is so beautiful with all the palm trees and the treatment rooms are so nice. We had the best massage ever. 60 mins Ayurveda Massage.

  • 4/5 Екатерина �. 1 year ago on Google
    All is super (the quality of massage and prices), but I would add showers for the better experience

    Amazing massage in Unawatuna ❤️🫶 They give you coconut as beverage after massage 😍

  • 5/5 Rui Miguel V. 1 year ago on Google
    Had two wonderful massages so far and both therapists were very skilled. I’ve done the 60 min Ayurveda massage on both occasions. Love the coconut offered at the end of the session. Highly recommend!

    If you only go to one place while you’re in Unawatuna, they were the most incredible spa treatments we’ve ever had (group of 4). We loved it so much that we’ve all booked to go again tomorrow. A little oasis and such nice staff!!

    My mom and I took ayurvedic and face massage. And it was so good. Price was reasonable. I guess it will be more better if they will add some relaxing music.

  • 5/5 Ardit E. 4 months ago on Google • 1 review
    Definitely this is the best massage you can get in Unawatuna. The place is very nice, cozy and for the service you get it worth the money you pay. It is a professional massage center, with professional therapist. Hospitality as well, level 5/5.
