How does your body feel today?
Classic Rejuvenating Massage
For when you simply want to switch off. A soothing full-body massage to release everyday tension and leave you deeply rested.
Well-Being Energizing Massage
Feeling a little flat? A refreshing massage for tired bodies, designed to leave you lighter and ready for the rest of your day.
Ayurvedic Abhyanga
Warm herbal oil, rhythmic movements and no hurry. A grounding Ayurvedic-inspired ritual, especially lovely after travelling or when you need to slow down.
Deep Tissue Massage
For the knots that aren’t going anywhere politely. Deeper work for tight muscles and stubborn areas of tension.
Thai Stretching Massage
No oil, no lying still. Your therapist stretches, presses and moves you through positions you can’t reach alone. Lovely before the heat at Tapas.
Sometimes, 40 minutes is enough
You don’t always need a full-body massage. Sometimes one tired part of you just needs some attention.
Come in tired. Give us 40 minutes.
Your feet deserve their own 75 minutes
Aavya Signature 7-Step Pedicure
Walking, travelling, yoga, barefoot mornings: your feet do quite a lot. Our signature pedicure, for women and men, is 75 minutes of proper care.
Cleanse, scrub, gel care, cream massage, nourishing pack, moisturise, then 10 minutes of reflexology.
You may come for the pedicure. The reflexology might bring you back.
Don’t feel like a massage today?
Traditional Usui Reiki
No pressure. No oils. Nothing you need to do. A gentle Reiki session following the traditional Usui practice: 75 quiet minutes to rest, receive and simply be.
Aavya Signature Rice Glow Facial
A naturally inspired facial with rice, honey, turmeric and mineral-rich clay, finished with a face massage using Kumkumadi tailam. An hour of cleansing, nourishment and gentle care for fresh, rested skin.

The ritual at Aavya Sauna & Spa
Fire. Ice. Then exhale.
Spending time at Tapas, our sauna, ice bath and soaking experience, is a wonderful complement to a massage. Heat helps your body open up, while the ice bath offers a refreshing reset.
Take it before or after your treatment, guided or at your own pace. Tell us how you want to feel and we’ll plan the sequence with you when you book.
