Stella Spa & Massage

Set a short walk from the Marina Walk, Stella Spa & Massage positions itself as a neighbourhood day spa with enough polish to compete with hotel rivals at roughly half the price. The room is quietly scented, softly lit and thoughtfully kept, and the front desk sets an easy, unhurried tone before guests head back to treatment rooms that include an option with its own in-room shower for couples. The core menu runs to Balinese, Thai, deep-tissue and Swedish massage, with a consistent signature: firm, anatomically aware pressure rather than a light oil rub, which makes the deep-tissue work a standout for anyone carrying actual tension. Couples bookings are handled smoothly with two therapists working in parallel. Separate jacuzzi, sauna and steam facilities for men and women extend the visit naturally before or after treatment, and the wet areas are clean and well maintained. Pricing is notably fair for the Marina, which is the main reason locals return weekly, and staff are genuinely welcoming rather than scripted. Not every therapist hits the same mark, so guests seeking deep, clinical pressure are better off requesting it explicitly at booking. As a relaxed, well-priced alternative to Marina hotel spas for a straightforward massage and jacuzzi session, it lands cleanly.
