Sovrana Spa
At first blush it looks like just another local massage salon. Then you’ll notice the gallery is stocked with all-natural aromatic oils, soaps and creams, which seems like reason enough to indulge in a massage, facial or both.

Atsumi Healing
Atsumi isn’t just a spa, it’s an earthy fasting and detox retreat centre. Most guests come to fast on water, juice and/or herbs for days at a time. Massages are a part of the program, and the regularly eating public is welcome to book massages here. In addition to traditional Thai, oil and deep-tissue treatments, you can get the signature ThaiAtsu massage (think Thai meets shiatsu). Meditative and gentle yoga classes with a touch of t’ai chi are also available.

Aspasia
A brilliant day spa option is hidden away at this unique condo resort on the headland between Kata and Karon. The interior is cosy and very Zen with sliding rice-paper doors dividing the treatment rooms. Try the red sweet body scrub, a mixture of sesame, honey and fresh orange juice. Or maybe you’d rather the coconut and passionfruit exfoliation? It also has a full-service beauty salon and offers a variety of massage styles.

Sala Resort & Spa
Enjoy your aromatherapy massage or herbal body scrub at the hip and sexy, yet not full of itself, Sala Resort. The villa property is a blend of Sino-Portuguese and art deco influences with a modern flair. The black-granite infinity pool at the beachfront is gorgeous, and the beachfront bar area includes cushy, circular sofa lounges. It’s the kind of place that makes everyone feel like a celebrity.

Indigo Spa
Set in a 277-room megaresort that doubles as a monument to Phuket’s tin-mining past – hardware such as vices, scales and other mining tools are used in the decor down to the tiniest detail – this is a fantastic spa. Treatments include a moist chocolate-pudding scrub, and a pearl wrap featuring vegetal extracts of local cultured pearls.

Let’s Relax
The cool atrium, gushing with fountains and infused with eucalyptus, is the perfect place to devise your spa strategy. Will it be reflexology then a body scrub? Or would you rather a Thai herbal steam bath before a hot-stone massage and a facial? Life is full of tough decisions. Let’s Relax has another spa at 121 Th Rat Uthit.

First Foot Relax 2
Although pricier than most shop-front massage joints, First Foot Relax 2 is worth it – in fact, it’s in a league of its own. There are mosaic washbowls for reflexology clients, the dark-wood interior is infused with lemongrass, and baskets bloom with fresh towels. Splurge and get the seaweed and mud wrap before your massage.
