Sarasin Spa is a top-notch spot if you fancy a bit of relaxation in the city. Their deep tissue massage is a real crowd-pleaser – in our surveys with their patrons, they can’t stop singing its praises.

Now, let’s talk about the pocket-friendly side of things. Prices for their services hover between £32.00 and £55.00, depending on the massage type and duration, which is plus points in our books!

The only catch is, they don’t do couple packages. So, if you’re thinking of bringing your better half along, brace yourself for double the cost.

Despite this, we’re still feeling pretty positive about Sarasin Spa. We think it’s a plus that they offer a lot of services including facials, body exfoliation, and therapeutic massages for pregnant women.

In addition, we noted how their regulars have raved about the staff and trained masseuses. They mentioned that they’re friendly and accommodating, making their overall experience better.

Sure, there have been a few murmurs about language barriers from some customers. However, we’ve found that requesting an English-speaking staff or masseuse is a wise workaround.

All things considered, we’re confident that Sarasin Spa is still a great option especially for budget-conscious people who just want time to relax.

If you and your partner are on the hunt for a city spa that’s got it all, you might want to consider Zen Thai Spa.

We love that they offer multiple couple packages that cater to a variety of budgets – three to be precise, and you can find all the details on their website.

The cheapest is the couple and partners massage, setting you back £85 for a 50-minute pampering. On the other end of the spectrum, the couples VIP spa day is the priciest at £350 for a lavish 175 minutes.

These packages include their signature Zen Thai massage, an Indian head massage, and even an aromatherapy session.

What’s more, their fancier packages even throw in some light nosh and drinks after a relaxation sesh – definitely a big plus for us.

We appreciate that they offer these multiple packages because it means that couples can choose which ones are within their budgets and which ones are more for a special occasion.

What we’re a bit iffy about is their cancellation policy – customers that cancel less than twenty-four hours before the appointment, the deposit is no longer refundable. We think this is something to consider prior to booking with them.

As for their facilities we weren’t impressed to see that it’s pretty bland, almost clinical looking. For us, this might not be the best for those dreaming of a spa with a relaxing vibe.

Even so, for what they offer, we still think that they’re a solid choice for couples who want a posh getaway within the city.

Arokaya Thai Massage is a fancy Thai spa that offers a pampering experience in a lush East Asian ambiance.

What sets them apart from the local spa scene is their interiors have that Eastern charm. For us, we think that this gives their customers an experience that’ll help give them a break from the hustle and bustle of the city.

We were also pleasantly surprised to find that their prices are quite reasonable. From what we’ve seen, their massage that lasts for one hour costs £50 which is a steal in our opinion.

We just wish that their rates were easily available on their website for extra convenience. Also, we also want to mention that they don’t offer couple packages, which is a tad disappointing.

While we found their lack of treatment variety a letdown, we’re glad about the convenience they offer. Those who are looking for an accessible option will find Arokaya Thai Massage a convenient spot due to their location.

Another thing that keeps us enthusiastic about them is their Tok Sen therapy, an ancient Thai muscle-relaxing technique. Here, the therapist uses a thick, dull stick and wooden hammer that helps with shoulder and back pains.

For us, this treatment makes them stand out from the other options in Manchester because of the unique experience. It’s also a crowd favourite among their regulars, according to our surveys, making it a must-try for us!

What we like about Nam Tip Thai Massage is that they offer both affordability and great ambiance. Their services range from £30 to £120, which is a great deal if you ask us.

Additionally, we love that their facilities have separate rooms, depending on the type of service. We appreciate this type of set-up in spas because this means that clients will get all the privacy and peace of mind during the spa session.

We also want to highlight that they have a wide range of offerings. Aside from their varied massage services, we’ve found that they also offer aromatherapy, hot stones, and body scrub sessions.

A downside we noted, though, is that they don’t offer couple packages. However, as we mentioned earlier, their services are already affordable, so this aspect shouldn’t matter much to budget-conscious folks.

Another thing we’re a bit iffy about is their location, as they’re a bit far from the city centre. This can be a challenge even for those who are located around the Northern Quarter area.

However, if you plan on having a short getaway from the hustle and bustle, we still think they’re a solid choice for your next spa day with your partner.

Next on our list is NiniSpa, a facility that focuses on a holistic approach when it comes to providing relaxation services in Manchester.

What caught our eye is that they’re not just about the usual massages and scrubs. They also offer facials, physical therapies, and even acupuncture. 

We love that they offer a wide range of choices for their patrons which makes them a great choice for those who want an all-around pampering day.

Now, we must mention that their services lean towards the pricier side, ranging from £75 to £240, depending on the type and duration of the treatment

Although, we think that the overall services included in their packages are well worth the big price tag. Plus, what we love about them is that they use hypoallergenic and natural products for their massages, which is a win for anyone with sensitive skin.

Another aspect we appreciate about NiniSpa is that they allow customers to customise their packages according to their needs. For us, this makes spa day so much better for couples in search of a bespoke experience.

Lastly, we think it’s worth noting that they have strict appointment policies. This factor means additional fees to those who run late to their scheduled sessions.
