VIP Massage

May 2026

This place is a hidden gem!!! VIP Massage is hands down the BEST massage spot in Santa Cruz. Nothing fancy, but VERY effective. If you’re anything like me and need strong hands that aren’t afraid to dig deep, this is the place!

I’ve been to MANY massage spots all over SC, and little did I know one of the best would be tucked inside the old school Capitola Mall lol. Don’t let appearances fool you this place delivers. Support small mom-and-pop businesses! I promise you won’t be disappointed.

VIP Massage at Capitola Mall is seriously the best hidden gem! The $20 for 20-minute chair massage is unbeatable, and the massages are always so relaxing and worth it. Perfect quick reset! Highly recommend if you need a little self care break and don’t want to break the bank!

Haven't tried it myself, but they always take care of my guy whenever he has intense foot pain. They offer you water or you can ask for it, I saw some people walk out with a little paper cup.

Boyfriend says that his pain totally goes away after the 30 minute foot massage, I assume he'd fall asleep with the 60 minute one! Lol.

The two people who work there are nice. Yeah, sometimes there's a wait time, but you're in a mall ffs, go kill some time at the shops or come back when you're not in a hurry! It also helps if you don't talk to loudly at the entrance when other people are trying to relax.
