Massage near Pebble Beach

“This is the review for the spa. While the spa does have a full suite of facilities, it was a bit smaller and a bit more dated than I had expected, as well as limited outdoors / view from the spa. Massage was also just average. Overall, still a solid option but felt a bit overpriced for what it offered.“

“Kumari was really attentive and sweet. I felt great after the massage and would definitely
Come back.“

“I have been treated at Balance Physical Therapy, Monterey twice in 2024 and 2025. In 2025 Dr. Devesh Digwal who is a real knowledgeable, experienced and caring PT treated my left knee that has a torn meniscus so well that prevented any need to surgery. I have recovered now. The staff are very helpful and caring.
In 2024 Arash and his team at Balance helped me greatly with my lower back pain, and now I am fully recovered.
I highly recommend Balance PT in Monterey area.“

“Terrapin was amazing during my recovery from hip replacement surgery. The entire staff is so friendly, kind and caring--it really made a difference. I especially want to give a shout out to Aaron and Tony--my therapists. They were patient, attentive and compassionate. Thanks to them I am feeling stronger and well on my way to a full recovery. I highly recommend Terrapin for quality care and a welcoming environment.“

“Dr. Baker is the best!! Professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and really cares about your health. I highly recommend The Back and Neck Pain Center of Monterey!“

“We went for a couple’s massage and had Noel and Karen - both extraordinary.
Noel helps guide you through the experience and gives knowledgeable advice attuned to whatever your problem areas are.
Karen moves with expert hands and uses the perfect amount of pressure.
Enjoy an incredible view of Carmel Valley and the friendly birds while listening to beautiful classical music. The interior is decorated with intriguing antiques and local finds, all expertly picked and placed. This place is a must-experience.

We will definitely return!“

“Tatiana is the best!!! She takes her time and really cares about you as a person. She is very professional and skilled as a massage therapist. Great staff and immaculate facility. I will not go to anyone else.“

“May and Quan are warm and friendly. Quan has given me the best deep tissue massages that I've ever had in 40 years of massages. The rooms are clean and quiet with soft relaxing music in the background. Lovely place!“

“Outstanding relaxing massage in a comfortable setting. Absolutely the best in Monterey!“

“I was visiting from out of town and booked a 60 minute facial. I had the best experience. It was so relaxing, and my esthetician was super sweet and friendly. I almost fell asleep on the table! Could not recommend this place enough!“

“Had the seasonal Coastal Currents massage from Alecia B. It was amazingly good. Strong hands worked out stiffness in neck and lower back. Dynamic massage with stretching which I love. Also loved the small touches of aromatherapy sprays; cooling mists; hot towels; eye cover; neck pillow. Clean, soothing setting; very cozy and relaxing. For this area very reasonably priced: $165 for 75 min. They will automatically add 21% gratuity which I was happy to pay. Do check it out and again ask for "Alecia B." She is awesome! Oh and depends on time of day and week whether parking is easy or hard. There is parking all up and down Lighthouse 2 hours free.“

“Jamila is absolutely amazing! She is kind, professional, and feels like you're visiting with an old friend. I cannot recommend her enough, she's the best massage therapist I've ever had!“

“Our visit surpassed expectations! We’ve never tried one of these places before, but it’s always piqued our interest. We had the pleasure of having Martin as our representative and he went above and beyond; we’ll definitely be back because of how attentive and knowledgeable he was. He made us feel very comfortable and was super engaging throughout each process, which made it even more fun. The full body water massage felt great, the oxygen bar made me feel so energized yet relaxed, and then we also got a head and neck message and got to use a stem machine during the oxygen bar, which was such a unique and fun experience. They played lively music as well and the vibes were just on point. The place was also extremely clean, which is an added bonus. 10/10 recommend!!“

“Lisa was great!! 90-minutes of a thorough and deep massage. The Second Lady I got...not so great. But still okay for $90.“

“I had the pleasure of experiencing a 90 minute deep tissue massage with Yezi this morning and I must say, it was a wonderful experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with kindness, warmth and professionalism.

Yezi's skill and expertise became apparent from the very first touch. Her intuitive understanding of the body and trigger points allowed her to pinpoint areas of tension with precision. What truly sets Yezi apart is her amazing talent to massage with the weight of her body and the strength and precision of her toes!

The pressure applied during the massage was firm yet soothing, allowing me to relax deeply while still feeling the tension melt away. It was evident that Yezi possesses a deep knowledge of pressure points, anatomy, and muscle structure, as every stroke and knead seemed to target the root of my discomfort.

Not only was the massage itself exceptional, but the entire experience was elevated by Yezi's calming presence and genuine care for my well-being. She took the time to listen to my concerns and preferences, ensuring that I felt heard and valued throughout the session.

By the end of the massage, I felt like a new person — rejuvenated, invigorated, and free from the burdens of stress and tension. Yezi's deep tissue massage transcended mere relaxation; it was a holistic journey toward physical and mental wellness.

If you're looking for a truly transformative massage experience, I wholeheartedly recommend booking a session with Yezi. Her expertise, professionalism, and genuine passion for healing make her a true gem in the world of massage therapy. I can't wait to return for another session soon!“

“Jacob is incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and skillful. I feel super comfortable getting the neuromuscular massage to help with various back/hip pain and leave feeling so much better than when I come in. The neuromuscular massage feels more beneficial than a deep pressure massage at a spa as Jacob focuses on one area for a long time until it feels better. Highly recommend!“

“Cedric is SUCH a great masseuse, I can’t recommend him enough! I work on clients 6 days a week and have alot of knots and inflammation in my upper back/neck. His technique is so great because he targets exactly all of my pain points with the perfect amount of pressure to work the knots good, but in a really therapeutic and relaxing rhythm that makes you feel relaxed at the same time. I’ve been to people where the massage isn’t relaxing at all and its just holding my breath in pain waiting for it to be over; but this is the best of both worlds. I know we’re doing good work and I leave walking on clouds. I’m also really sensitive to energy and can feel he’s a clear channel for strong energetic flow through the body. Just get on his busy books, you will not be disappointed!“

“My mom is a masseuse and I haven't found anyone as intuitive in finding where there is real tension and stories in the body until I got a massage from Steve. I had been having chronic back pain for month, and sought out acupuncture, other massages, and connected with my primary char physician - to no avail. After one session with Steve I felt ease and movement in my body that he mentioned was from muscles that had been tight for years. So thankful to have found him, and encourage anyone who is serious about taking care of their body's needs to book several sessions with him.“

“I had the best cut and style here. Krystyne listened to exactly what I wanted. I was so impressed I sent my husband to I have his hair done and he was also happy.“

“A firm massage that left me muscles feeling like jelly. Next time I need a massage, I’m coming here again!

The room was also very relaxing. I prefer low lighting and this was perfect.“

“Had a massage with Roberto, which was truly exceptional. My body was in terrible shape, locked back and tension all over, and in 90 minutes, he worked all the muscles systematically, while explaining the anatomy. Amazing benefit felt right after. One of the best massages I have ever had, and hope to become a regular.“

“Jasmine is a lovely woman and a very skilled masseuse! She is versatile and is very effective in using her intuition to use the right techniques to find and dissolve areas where my body is fatigued and holding tension. Her personality is gentle and kind, and she has set up a very clean and comfortable shop here. I first experienced her collaborative work in the East Bay, and I have been happy to make the nearly two hour drive to enjoy her caring hands and skilled forearms and elbows many times since she made the move. Monterey region residents are lucky to have her!“

“Jonathan is by far the best massage therapist I have ever been too, whatever the issue in your body he will find it, he has helped me tremendously with my yoga practice and I always notice a huge difference in my body after a session with Jonathan. He is a true master of his craft.“

“Lila did a wonderful job on my skin! My skin really needed a little tlc, and she did just that. I can’t stop looking at my skin in the mirror! You won’t be disappointed going to her for any of her services. Thank you so much darling! ?“

“Moving out to the Monterey peninsula left me searching for my new go-to wellness professionals. It was a tough go at first since we relocated post-pandemic and many massage therapists had a rough hand dealt. Needless to say, my husband and I tried many massage therapists for the first few years and had no luck. Then one day I noticed on Google Joy’s practice. I poked around on her website and was excited to see how much experience and skill she had from a really diverse background from decades in massage therapy. Being a fellow wellness professional I had a feeling she was going to become my go-to massage therapist and sure enough now she is several sessions together later! I’ve had the pleasure of getting a lymphatic massage, and deep tissue- both were fantastic. Joy is a true healer and a great human altogether & I would absolutely recommend you book a massage with her after you’ve finished reading my review!

Thanks for all the amazing work you do Joy! Can’t wait for my next massage :-)“

“Came to Carmel for my anniversary with my boyfriend and we were so excited to go to Refuge. We both got a day pass. I believe we were some of the first people there a bit after 9 am. It started off great! For a while we got a few pools to ourselves all in the warm setting. We got into the steam room and I loved the eucalyptus one!! For my partner it was a bit too strong, so I suggest for people with sensitive smells to just try the other room. We then wanted to sit around the fire place, but there were seats taken with towels or only one chair available between people and my partner and I wanted to sit next to each other. We ended up going to a fireplace in a corner where a couple started reserving the seats since the morning. They also got there kind of early after us and we noticed when they put their towels down on the chairs. My boyfriend asked if they could move their towels so we could sit down. At first the woman had said yes but her partner said they were going to sit down after a few minutes. Mind you this is now around 11 am and I had seen them in the sauna rooms and walking around (it was a Monday so it wasn't that busy.) So then my boyfriend said I'm sorry but you aren't able to reserve seats and the girl seemed shocked and said but everyone else is doing it. Her partner ended up moving a chair towards the fire pit and we sat down. It was an uncomfortable situation for us and them. I wish there could've been a worker walking around making sure people weren't reserving seats, so my partner and I could've avoided this awkward tension with others. After that we went to the relaxation room. My partner and I thought to ourselves at first who would enter this room when there's other things to enjoy, but oh boy were we wrong. My boyfriend took a nap and I closed my eyes for a while and just enjoyed the silence bliss. My boyfriend ended up snoring and I had to wake him up. He was a bit embarrassed, but he really ended up enjoying that room. We ended up going to a pool with another couple and a single person. Another couple ended up coming into the pool and were talking out loud. I was bothered and so was the girl in the other couple. She ended up whispering in her partner's ear and they got out immediately. I went into the hammock next to the pool as I no longer wanted to be next to couple either, but my boyfriend stayed inside. He was also bothered but not enough to get out. The shower had a lot of space inside. I wish there was a place to get ready I had brought my make up to do, but I ended up not doing it since I didn't want to be in the way of other people blow drying their hair it was the only spot with lighting and a mirror. It is a bit of tight space. My only regret was not bringing a book. So many women were reading near the fire place and it seemed such a relaxing thing to do. The weather was gloomy and I loved it that way. It did start sprinkling while we were there which was no problem. The ambience was great. Hopefully there can be more surveillance on the rules about the talking and reserving chairs, but other than that it was a great. I would definitely recommend this place.“
