Lovely place to go relax and recharge. The outdoor hot tub was clean and the surrounding areas were welcoming and soothing. Customer service was excellent with lot of care given to keep the space quiet and calming. read more

What a disappointment. My first session was AMAZING! Being that I need massages once a week to every other week, I was happy to have found this place. I get a call that the massage therapist quit and after a lot of back and forth, we make another appointment. I told her the date that worked and she told me the time. So I planned my day around my appointment. The day before (today) I get a call and I'm told that they need to change the time because it's "inconvenient for the massage therapist". WHAT?!?! They wanted to push my 90 minute massage from 3:15 to 4 pm. What insulted me was calling me the day before as if clients don't have anything else to do AND tell me the appt time was "inconvenient". I cancelled my appointment and will never go back read more

Updating my review from 4 stars to 5 because Almonte Spa really is the bees knees. A few weeks ago my daughter came to visit and I brought her to Almonte. I did a 30 minute soak, and she got a massage from Jane. My soak was wonderful as always, and my daughter said her massage was fantastic. Today, I had a 90 minute massage with Olga, and it was otherworldly!! Olga has such a wonderful energy, and her technique is very skilled. So happy we have Almonte Spa in our backyard. We will be back again soon. And again. And again. read more

Almonte Spa - A lovely soak in the hot tub on Xmas eve :) - Massage Near Me - Mill Valley, California

The nice woman was able to move my hot reservation up a day since I got rained out camping on the top of Mt Tam! After a long cold sore day, she gave me the moon tub, and it was so nice, awesome in the light rain, birds singing up in the trees, right as day turned to night. i had a really beautiful and relaxing experience and will definitely be going back. Thank you so much to them for being so accommodating, was the perfect way to end the day! read more

My partner and I came to Almonte Spa for our anniversary and overall had an amazing and memorable time. It was his first spa experience so I wanted something a little more accessible than the typical, glitzy, feminine energy / target audience...? that you might find at most spas. Almonte definitely offers a more natural, quiet and cozy feeling. Overall we loved our experience. There were tiny hiccups and tips for first timers but we would absolutely come back! The great - *Lovely environment - feels like you're entering a peaceful cabin. *The outdoor hotub was amazing, especially on a chilly post rain day. Totally private and romantic under a beautiful redwood. *Once we were situated, everything was very easy to get to - we ran around in towels most of the time but it didn't seem out of place - we saw at least one other couple doing the same. *Highly recommend a hot tub, massage, sauna package. It made for a totally relaxing experience. Room for improvement - *When we checked in initially they didn't mention our massage which gave me a mini heart attack as that was our main draw, but that was thankfully just a quick check in vs. booking error. *We weren't charged for the wrap offered to us, but when booking rental fees were mentioned so just to be safe, bring your own towels. Also bring flip flops! We didn't see it mentioned on the site but you'll definitely want them when you're coming in and out of hot tub / sauna / showers. Would be nice if this was offered complimentary. *The couples massage room is located across from a school field so we were a bit distracted by sports sounds for a portion of our massage. Closing the window helped but if you're sensitive to noise take note. *I've seen others mention it, but a 5 minute grace period between experiences would add a little more breathing space. I didn't feel super rushed but I always had a sense of time while moving from hot tub to massage to sauna. Almonte was a lovely couple's experience and I'm so glad my partner and I chose to celebrate our anniversary here. For a first time spa experience my partner had an amazing time and is now hooked on treating himself to the good life hehe - so just be warned, Almonte is a gateway to spas and pampering! read more

Had an absolutely amazing experience at Almonte Spa. From start to finish, everything felt calm, grounding, and so intentional. Jane and Asha were outstanding truly skilled, intuitive, and so attentive to pressure points. I've been feeling really tense lately and this massage genuinely helped me release so much built-up stress. I walked out feeling lighter, relaxed, and completely zen. I also loved the atmosphere the crystals throughout the space added such a beautiful, grounding energy that made the whole experience feel even more special. The hot tub beforehand was the perfect way to unwind and set the tone for the massage as well. Highly recommend if you're looking for deep relaxation, healing energy, and top-tier bodywork. Can't wait to come back! read more

Almonte Spa - Private hot tub - Massage Near Me - Mill Valley, California

What a wonderful experience. I have been having a lot of back, hip, glute and inner thigh pain from a recent reinjury and after a quick 30 min hot tub/60 min massage session with Mayzie I was completely pain free for a good amount of time after. You have no idea how much it means to be pain free even for a minute after being in constant pain for such a long time. Mayzie knew exactly where the issues and pain spots were and is a real master of her craft! I will be back to see Mayzie again. The hot tub setting was very nice and magical, although the smell of chlorine was a bit strong. The tub I was in was sitting under a beautiful redwood tree and I'd imagine it is fun to experience this tub at night with the stars and/or rain. Bring your own towels and slippers/sandals/robe. Everything seems to be an extra $3, would be nice if that was included with the experience. They do offer free lockers to store your items. Don't expect a 5 star luxury experience here. It definitely is a hippie, bay area granola vibe and I'm here for it! read more

I got a 30 minutes hot tub and 75 minute massage. The good: Clean and cosy, well-decorated outdoor hot tubs, friendly staff.  Vibe is more boho than luxury, but does this very effectively.  Angelica gave my massage and did a great job!  I asked for more pressure and she delivered, felt great.   The bad: Almonte double-booked my hot tub room, so an unsuspecting guest entered the my tub room while I was naked.  Emphatically, the image of my naked body is just not the one you want in your head before you start your relaxation session.  Normally I'd deduct one star for this, but I'm taking two because THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE.  It's in the other Yelp comments!  I read that before hand and thought "well, that's bad, but surely they learned their lesson won't make that mistake again." Guess they didn't. Now here's where it gets crazy.  THERE ARE ONLY TWO TUB ROOMS, a moon room and a sun room.  Surely it's not too hard to keep track of who's been assigned what room when there are only two? Now, I'm pretty easy going, but for some this would be traumatic or dangerous.  If you're the victim of sexual abuse, knowing a naked person could enter your room at any time while you're vulnerable is frighting.  Almonte, please fix this, it shouldn't be hard. read more

Need I say more than a hot tub under the open sky? Ambiance is gorgeous, spa was clean, front desk was friendly enough. Only complaint was the brightness in the hot tub. It would be nice to have a way to turn off the light so it's not so in your face at night time. read more

Came here for some relaxation time in their outdoor hot tubs and infrared sauna. Absolutely loved the Moon hot tub, with a wonderful view looking up at the sky, a tall magnificent tree with the trunk wrapped in beautiful vines, and greenery all around, just a lovely setting. The infrared sauna was about the size of a clothes store dressing room, with a curtain entrance to the space, the enclosed wooden sauna filled with a reddish hue and a temperature control panel on the side (this space ideal for 1-2 people to sit, but not large enough for lying down). Soft melody in the background, but also the sounds of chatter and movement in the building could be heard. There are 2-3 showers available. But no hair dryers allowed cuz the massage rooms are all in the same building and the space is not large enough nor strategically arranged to separate the noise (that's a little inconvenient, cuz of course people will wanna take showers after baking like a chicken and sweating their asses off in the sauna, and yeah we probably wanna go out with clean, dry hair after our day at the spa). Still, it's a nice place with decent service nonetheless. read more

I'd love a referral to their web designer because the website is beautiful but this place is nothing like the photos. Imagine taking a spa inside a college frat house...it was that kind of vibe. That's a little harsh, but not too far from reality. The showers did not get warm, were last updated in the 90s and the hot tub just sort of felt not clean. After drying off, I looked for a second towel but none available. I'm shocked by the high reviews. If you are looking for a high end luxury spa, this is not it. read more

My partner and I were in need of a relaxing weekend, and I happened to stumble upon this spa. Reviews were promising, and it wasn't too pricey, so I decided to book us for an hour hot tub soak. Booking was very easy, I did it through their website, and it was hassle free. We arrived 10 minutes early to our appointment, and we were immediately brought in. The staff kindly showed us where everything was and how to operate the tub. The spa and tubs areas were super clean and well kept. There are shower areas outside and spently of space for you to put your items down in the tub room. Make sure to bring some slippers and a towel. They provide shampoo, conditioners, and body wash. Overall experience was super relaxing and tranquil. We definelty felt way rejuvenated after the soak and will be back. Some areas that can be improved/what I wished - the doors to the hot tubs don't lock from the inside, so there is a chance that anyone can just walk onto the room. I also wish they implemented private showers in the hot tub rooms. This would be a nice addition to elevating the overall experience. read more

It was more of a chat session rather than a relaxing session. I couldn't focus on the massage due to constant conversation. I'm disappointed considering the price of the massage. I left feeling like I didn't get one. read more

What a hidden gem at such an affordable price! We reserved a hot tub for 30 minutes for $30/per person. It's situated in a small house along the side of the road. It's an older spa but the hot tub is worth it alone. There are two tubs - the moon and the sun. We got the sun but would request the moon the next time. Bring your own towels so you don't have to rent theirs. No frills, all soaks! read more

Was super excited for Almonte Spa as I've had it bookmarked for months. They have an outdoor hot tub, what's more to love? Sadly, I was slightly underwhelmed. I got the 30 minute hot tub + 75 minute massage. First, I'll say that the hot tub (soak) was great. It's almost like you're in the middle of the woods being outdoors. The water could've been a little hotter but overall good experience. The massage was another story. I've gotten many massages before, deep tissue, Swedish, Thai. So I'm pretty familiar with the generally how the massage is gonna go. The massage I got at Almonte was different to say the least. It was actually quite awkward. For example, the masseuse held my legs up and just stood there for 30 seconds. He pinched me a few times as he was rubbing my arms. He did some weird move with my feet that I've never had done before and overall I was not relaxed at all. I'm not sure if maybe it was an off day but I've never felt so tense after a massage. In fact I feel like I need an actual one now to redeem myself. Spa itself is quite pricy. $205 for a 75 minute massage + 30 min soak. Their lockers don't even really work and you'd expect the inside to look a bit nicer for the price they're charging. Overall, I'd come back for the hot tub but would skip the massage. read more

My sister and I both agree that Olga is the best massage therapist we've ever had, hands down! She is such an expert of her craft, and it feels like she is treating the whole person as opposed to just going and getting another massage. She knows the best techniques, and it truly feels like a holistic wellness appointment because every time we leave, we feel so refreshed, both mentally and physically. I could not recommend Olga more! And I really enjoy my visits to Almonte spa every time I go - the staff are wonderful! read more

Love the outdoor hot tub with the redwood view above us. The massage was good. Shout out to the young Asian lady for a very nice massage. :) I can hear the whistle and kids playing baseball next to the spa place. I was annoyed and it ruined my supposedly relaxing time. I know it's not the spa's fault. When we're done and about to leave, no one was at the front desk. We waited for 10 mins and still no staff at the front. So we decided to leave since I know they have my card info and will call us anyway. When one of the staff called, the girl overcharged me. I had to do the math to make sure I wasn't over paying. Then she realized she was charging me $10 more for the package. We drove all the way from San mateo for the experience. Sadly, my experience was not what I expected to be. read more

Came here with a group of friends - booked the day of and had a great 45 min soak with my friends! Love the outdoor spa and it was really a relaxing and smooth experience from coming in to getting into the outdoor space. It's super private and it's a great time with good friends. The water is warm and the jets are comfortable. read more

Shout out to Nudge for telling me about Almonte Spa! I booked a 30min jacuzzi for 2 and it was exactly what we needed! My husband and I play Airsoft every Saturday so by Sunday we are sore, tired and in need of relaxation before our work week starts on Monday. We drove up from San Jose and even though we left early enough to arrive to our appointment 10 mins early, we hit traffic and were running about 15 mins behind. I called the Spa and spoke with Coral who was so incredibly kind! She let me know that usually they are busy and can't really accommodate for lost time but yesterday she had some wiggle room and we still got our full 30 minutes. You're the best Coral! We were in the "Moon room" which was absolutely beautiful, so peaceful and quiet. We had a gorgeous view of a redwood above us. 30 mins was plenty of time for us and we were so relaxed! We brought our own towels (they do have towels you can use for a fee of 3$ from what I've read in other reviews), they have an outdoor shower to rinse off before and after your time in the jacuzzi. There is a bathroom with a shower as well if you prefer. We didn't do any of the other services, the jacuzzi was enough relaxation for us. It's safe to say we will be back in the future! read more

This is my third time getting a massage here but this experience didn't measure up to my other wonderful visits. The new receptionist speaks very loudly, which isn't ideal for a spa setting that's meant to be calming. I could hear her conversations with customers and on the phone throughout my massage, which disrupted the relaxing atmosphere. Additionally, it seemed like she wasn't quite ready to handle everything on her own yet. She had trouble processing my gift card and almost charged me $200 by mistake. Sorting this out took over 20 minutes, and I left without the issue fully resolved--they still need to follow up with me. Not the best ending to a 90min massage. Literally undid what little relaxing time I got. My other service was the infrared sauna. The infrared sauna wasn't very hot, with only one heater working, and no one provided guidance on how to use it. And after that the shower had low water pressure and was lukewarm at best. The massage itself was okay, but I was hoping for deeper pressure. Also my arms were missed I'm not sure if she forgot or what but seemed odd. I realize that's partly on me for not speaking up. Overall, it was a mediocre experience, which is disappointing given how great my previous visits were. read more

What an incredible experience! From the ease of booking to first arriving, soaking and getting a wonderful massage from Hillary! I received a gift certificate to Almonte Spa for my birthday and I waited until my semester of class ended to use it. It was *perfect* exactly what I needed to relax and unwind. Everyone, including patrons, are so lovely. Smiley, happy people. A regular I met in the lobby summed it up nicely, Almonte is a clean, beautiful unpretentious spa. I completely agree. I'm terms of the logistics- I learned the private tubs are clothing optional. Everyone is asked to rinse off before getting in. A pair of flip flops would've been a good idea for me to bring but they don't seem to mind if you don't. Also bring a towel. Otherwise just enjoy!! :) :) read more

My wife and I had an amazing time in the hot tubs, we both melted and felt fully refreshed. After our session we had our massages done by Mary and Chris, both were excellent! We were both just fully relaxed and my wife said she pretty much instantly fell asleep with Chris' soft but firm touch! Mary was amazing as well sinking into the body and I also nearly fell asleep. Everything was just perfect read more

My experience here was really good. At first it was hard finding the place as my friends and I were not familiar with the area. We booked an early session (10:30) and we got there around 10 in the morning. We checked in and we were escorted into separate rooms for our massage. I had Liya. She was very kind and would check up on me throughout the massage. Before we even started, she asked if I had any particular area I feel tense. She made sure the pressure she was giving me was just right. I came in for a Swedish massage, but I think I had more than that. I felt really relaxed during and after the massage. It was such a nice experience before the year ends. I would come back again with my friends. read more

Moved to Marin County recently! If you want to de-stress, I recommend the hot tub & sauna combo. Friendly staff, reasonable prices (mid-week specials), aesthetic lounge area, most importantly- it's clean. There are multiple shower's available and the doors lock, nobody can walk in on you. Front landscape of the building is well maintained. Glad I found this spot. read more

So nice to have a place to go for a hot tub under the redwood trees and good massage in Mill Valley.

I have been going to Almonte Spa for over 1.5years. I bought their Series package (buy 10 -1hr massage get 2 free) which lower the price to $120 for an hour instead of $155. I used to see Jameson but he is no longer part of the team, I now see Izuzu and Jeannice who are both AMAZING in their own style. Isuzu is very gentle, Jeannice "listens" to your body thru her hands. I always make appt with either of them. I sometimes go to the hot tub for their 30min session at $50 for 2 people on weekdays. read more

This place is pure magic and I love coming here to relax. I'm so grateful for every moment I get in these lovely pools.

Serene, gentle, relaxing. The woman greeting us was really very gracious, and welcoming. Loved the very clean, and calming facility. The hot tub was private, wood enclosed, and open air on top. I will go back! read more

This is my new therapy home, mind body and soul. Ask for Chris for a massage, he took me apart and put me back together better. than ever!

The massage was ok. the cost is high and a tip was forced upon you with a sign as well that sepcifies the minimum % of 18 - not a cozy experience. read more

My husband and I went here for our anniversary. We both scheduled for massage services. My husband said his massage was great. As for my massage, I had better. The gal asked me if there are issues to address and I said I like something similar to a Swedish Massage. When I entered the room, the window was open wide, and it was kept open with the curtains the whole time. I felt a bit cold and there was a draft coming in so I did not feel cozy and comfortable. Maybe I should have asked the gal to closed the window halfway. I have had massages before and I was not sore the next day except my upper shoulders. I felt that the massage was just rubbing oil over my body and sunscreen was being applied. She did not really apply pressure over my body but maybe she used her elbow really hard near my armpits area, but I told her I am tense everywhere hoping she will apply pressure everywhere.. Sadly, I had better massage and did not feel content with the service. Maybe I should have been more specific with the type of massage I was looking for? After the massage I asked if there's a place to shower and she gave me towels and guided me to the restroom. The shower room was a bit small but cozy but there's no where to hang my towel, that's my only complaint. The nice feature about this place is that they have an outdoor hot tub but we did not get a chance to use this service due to a mix up my husband did with the scheduling. We might come back for the hot tub soak only. read more

Wonderful little spa tucked off the road in Tam Valley. I came here for a massage and tub soak. The woman behind the counter was very welcoming and pleasantly helpful. I soaked for 30 mins before my massage in a private outdoor tub with a small deck tucked under redwoods. Everything was clean which really allowed for a nice experience. There is a outdoor shower right outside the door which was convenient. My massage was with Kerin and it was fabulous! She went hard when it was necessary and softer when I needed it. Overall it was fantastic and I can't wait to come back. read more

My husband and I came in last weekend for massages and sauna. Sauna felt great. However, the massages were underwhelming. Mine apparently was much better than my husband's. He felt like his therapist hadn't been properly trained in any type of massage technique, or etiquette. The sheet was never properly draped and he felt extremely uncomfortable and exposed. There was no communication about pressure, or fluidity to the message at all. It was disappointing to hear he had such a negative experience, it will be hard to book anymore treatments here.... After posting my review of this business, I was directly contacted by the owner asking me to remove the negative post. He said, as he does with all Yelp reviews he would offer me a full refund in exchange for the removal of the negative public comments. I said I would greatly appreciate that and thanked him for making the gesture. As I didn't want to negatively impact their livelihood, I took the original post down. In another disappointing turn of events with Almonte spa I have yet to hear back from Trevor (the owner) regarding the refund. It's clear to see customer satisfaction is not at the forefront of this business. read more
