5 Best Spas to Visit for Body Exfoliation Treatments in Manchester (For Softer and Glowing Skin!)
With winter just around the corner, I know what’s coming: those nippy temperatures and that grim Manchester air always leaving my skin dry and dull. Sorry, Elsa, I guess the cold does bother me.
Luckily, my whole friend group was feeling a bit knackered as well. Someone suggested we all go for a decent body exfoliation treatment. We were a bit dubious at first – sounds a bit posh, doesn’t it?
But after that first session, we were absolutely pleased with the results! It was so brilliant, we couldn’t keep quiet about it! With this, the entire team scouted out the best spots in Manchester offering these treatments.
If you’re desperate for a bit of R&R or just fancy smoother, brighter skin, you’ve come to the right place! Check out our reviews below for your next exfoliation session!
| How much is a body exfoliation treatment in Manchester? Body exfoliation treatment in Manchester ranges from £45 to £70 for a 30-minute session. However, this can increase even further depending on the type of treatment, duration, and spa you choose. For a more accurate estimate of the cost of a body exfoliation session, it’s best to ask your chosen spa directly and keep an eye out for seasonal promos they may have. |
1. Sarasin Spa
Address: 4 Bradley St
Operating Hours: Daily (10 AM – 8 PM)
Contact: +44 161 237 3673
Sarasin Spa was recommended by a colleague for its excellent customer service. We saw this firsthand, from the easy booking process to the warm welcome from the staff and the free tea as soon as you arrive.
While it’s better known for its massages, we discovered that it’s also a great place for a body scrub. Based on our experience, estheticians are well-trained and skilled, sensitive to client feedback, and efficient.
They offer a body scrub and lotion treatment, as well as another option that includes a massage. We tried both, and they felt amazing – the pressure was just right, and the scrub smells heavenly.
We also appreciate that the spa offers a wide range of massages and facials to choose from, allowing more room to explore different types of treatments. Something we noted is that we wish they had more treatments that focus on specific body parts.
Excellent service and effective treatment
Easy and straightforward online booking system. Excellent service and effective treatment every time. Coming out pain-free, energised and more balanced after each session – feeling like a brand-new person. Very lovely, kind and caring staff. Would definitely recommend.

2. Body and Soul Retreat
Address: 35 Edge Ln, Stretford
Operating Hours: Daily (10 AM – 8 PM)
Contact: +44 7935 146074
If you’re looking for a spa that offers premium treatments at prices that won’t break the bank, Body and Soul Retreat in Stretford is a great option.
It’s a relatively new spa, having been around for just about three years, but it has established street credibility due to its consistently great services. When we popped in for a visit, we were pleasantly surprised by how relaxing and seamless everything was.
From experience, the staff is calm, friendly, and took care of us throughout.
This is consistent with the feedback of their regulars, who praise them for their intentional brand of customer service. Little things that aren’t so little – remembering names, efficient customer experience, etc.
Compared to the other spas we listed here, they offer a more limited range of services. But we still think they deserve a mention because of how well they execute their treatments.
The effect of the body scrubs we had here speaks for itself, making us want to frequent this place.
The tranquil atmosphere embraced me
This spa is a true haven of relaxation! From the moment I walked in, the tranquil atmosphere embraced me. The staff’s expertise and personalized approach during my massage were outstanding. The spa’s cleanliness and enchanting ambiance create a perfect escape. Highly recommend for anyone in need of a rejuvenating experience! Will definitely be returning.

Relaxing atmosphere and a very polite, skilled staff
The salon has a great, relaxing atmosphere and a very polite, skilled staff. Lina was very caring and the massage met all my needs. I was totally impressed with the choice of relaxing music, the comforting design of the room and the lighting. There are nice showers in the rooms which makes everything even better 🤩

3. Manchester Massage
Address: 28a Swan St
Operating Hours: Daily (10 AM – 8 PM)
Contact: +44 7415 831969
What makes Manchester Massage stand out to us is the range of beauty and wellness treatments it offers. Aside from body scrub massages, they offer a variety of massages, facials, dermal treatments, and chiropractic services.
We appreciate that it’s a one-stop shop for all our self-care needs, without burning a hole in our pockets. We sampled some of its promotional packages and found that they provide great value for money, and even make for awesome gift ideas for family and friends.
The body scrub massage we got here was luxurious. We were massaged with an exfoliant and then moisturised with body lotion, and our skin felt incredibly hydrated and healthy afterwards.
We also liked the modern and relaxing vibe of the spa the moment you enter. The estheticians are polite, accommodating, and easy to talk to.
Since it’s a busy clinic, it tends to get crowded, and you may have to wait a while. But for us, it’s worth the wait.
If we have to be particular, we wish their website were easier to navigate. It’s quite cluttered, making it difficult to compare services and book appointments.
I feel super replenished
Nothing short of a blissfull experience placed in a lovely idyllic room with calm soothing atmosphere!!!! Just simply amazing!!! Full body is literally full body back and front and can be tailored bespoke as per your preference which is super amazing and allows you to pinpoint areas that need most care! I highly recommend the place! An amazing masseuse by the name of Da did an outstanding job which made my day – I feel super replenished and can feel the joy within echoing throughout the body as tingles left over by the massage it’s amazing! 🤩Super worth the money!

4. Raddaran Thai Massage & Spa
Address: 146 Cheetham Hill Rd, Cheetham Hill
Operating Hours: Daily (10 AM – 9 PM)
Contact: +44 161 460 9765
Raddaran Thai Massage & Spa is another discovery we had during our search. We love that they are intentional with their customer service – friendly receptionists, attentive estheticians, and relaxing treatments that don’t feel rushed.
Something unique about Raddaran is that their full-body scrub treatment comes with a jacuzzi bath. The body scrub was thorough, applied with the right pressure, and provided a full sensory experience with essential oils that smelled amazing.
While the body scrub is amazing, we do wish there were a way to customise the body scrub treatment to your specific skin type.
They don’t have as wide a range of treatments compared to other spas on this list, but what they do offer, they execute exceptionally well. They offer massages, facials, and weight loss therapy.
We noticed that there were massage types that aren’t popularly available at other spas, such as the Tok Sen, a traditional Thai hammer massage, and a face massage.
While we didn’t avail ourselves of them at the time, we heard positive feedback from their regulars that these were worth trying. Overall, a fantastic find in Cheetham Hill!
Perfect experience for a pampering time
Great value for money. Perfect experience for a pampering time, to wind down and relax. I did a pamper package which includes a full body scrub, jacuzzi, foot massage and the lady added a bit of Thai body stretch to the package. I was served by Nuch, a friendly, very experienced and professional masue. Next time I’m gonna come back and try the Thai Massage as it seemed professional and authentic. Five star.

Would definitely be returning every month
Absolutely amazing! Warm and cozy, the hot oil massage was to die for! Would highly recommend. I came late and they was very accommodating. Honest people, I forgot my Gucci watch on the bed and she returned it to me. Thank you for the experience this evening. Would definitely be returning every month!

5. Buddha Beauty & Holistic
Address: The Coach House, 115 Beech Rd, Chorlton-cum-Hardy
Operating Hours:
- Monday-Wednesday (10 AM – 7 PM)
- Thursday (10 AM – 8 PM)
- Friday (9 AM – 6 PM)
Contact: +44 161 861 7000
We like Buddha Beauty & Holistic because they offer a variety of exfoliation treatments that target specific skin concerns and preferences.
They offer options for pore cleansing for those dealing with acne, personalised sea salt blends tailored to your skin type, and a comprehensive detox for a more thorough clean.
Personally, we loved the full-body exfoliation treatment, which included a mud wrap and back massage. It was meticulous, relaxing, and felt luxurious. That said, these services can be quite expensive – but it’s worth the investment.
While we didn’t get to try them at the time, we appreciated that they offered a wide range of services, including waxing, eye treatments, facials, and slimming solutions. So if you want a full pamper session with the works, this is a great place to visit.
If we could nitpick, we wish they had a more organised website, so it’s easier to look through all their services. Since this particular branch is quite small, reservations are also required.
The place has excellent staff and an array of treatments for your body’s needs
Beauty Salon that offers male treatments including pedicures. Vegan friendly. The place has excellent staff and an array of treatments for your body’s needs. Affordable and a great way to get away from the world for an hour. This little oasis is just off the main street down an alley. The venue is a bit cramped but there are treatment rooms. reservations required.

My skin has been suffering, but already feels so much better
First time at Buddha beauty and it didn’t disappoint. Had a lovely wrap with massage and came out feeling so relaxed. My skin has been suffering, but already feels so much better. Thank you so much. I have no doubt I’ll be back and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. Thank you.
