About Anda Spa
Anda Spa, located on the second floor of Hotel Ivy in Downtown Minneapolis, is a modern fitness retreat and wellness spa dedicated to balance and a deeper sense of well-being. The spa offers personalized treatments and rituals, including Hydrafacials, Facials, Massage, Stone Massage, Foot Therapy, Body Wraps, Body Care Treatment Baths, and Manicure & Pedicure. Upon arrival, guests are welcomed with smiles and guided to locker rooms that have amenities for showering and freshening up. The waiting area offers tea, water, and light snacks while guests wait for their service providers. After the treatments, guests can relax in a co-ed space featuring heated beds, a 360 shower, a hot tub, and a sauna. Many guests appreciate the outstanding service provided by the massage therapists and facialists, with one reviewer specifically praising LeAnne for her fantastic technique that alleviated muscle tightness. Another guest highlighted an incredible experience with Jesse, calling it the greatest massage of their life and suggesting he should start his own massage therapy business. However, some feedback indicates that the spa area for the hot tub and sauna can be small and crowded, especially during large gatherings like bachelorette parties. Concerns were also raised about the cleanliness of the sauna in the men’s area and that the jacuzzi was not working on certain occasions. Additionally, some guests find the spa to be a bit pricey for what it offers, and the parking situation is not clearly explained. Overall, Anda Spa provides a range of personalized treatments in a beautifully designed space. While there are praises for the professionalism and knowledge of the service providers, guests note that the spa area can become congested, and cleanliness issues need attention. Despite these concerns, many consider it a favorite spot for unwinding and reconnecting the body, mind, and spirit.
The massage therapist, Amanda, gave me the best massage I’ve ever had! I got the 80 minute handcrafted massage with hot stones add-on. Amanda incorporated hot towels, weighted pillows, and positioned my body to get the right spots. She had the perfect balance of checking in about the pressure, so it felt I could truly relax and drift off. I highly recommend this spa and Amanda!
The lounges and spa access were comfortable, clean, and quiet. I will be returning if I’m ever in Minneapolis again (it’s a short walk from any of the convention area hotels) and may even come back just for this spa. I also appreciate that their website is so transparent...read full review
Mike was an incredible massage therapist! I felt so taken care of and relaxed the entire time. My massage was suited exactly to my needs. I was bummed that the pool was out of service, but I thoroughly enjoyed the sauna and steam room. 10/10 experience!
I’ve been to Anda Spa many times, but this visit really stood out. I’ve been dealing with a shoulder issue, and Amanda provided one of the best treatments I’ve ever had. My shoulder hasn’t felt this good in months—honestly, not since before the injury.
She took the time to listen and understand what was going on, then used her expertise to target the exact areas causing pain. This was the first time I came in with a specific issue, and it was treated in a way where I felt immediate, noticeable relief—not just general relaxation.
Thank you, Anda Spa and especially Amanda. I’ll definitely be back.
