A Modern American Take on Traditional Bathhouse Culture! Finally tried Asha Urban Baths and chose the $185 Retreat Yourself package, including a 50-minute massage, 45-minute salt therapy, DIY facial, 2 complimentary towels and 2-hour bathhouse access. Asha is an interesting concept: a modern fusion inspired by bathing traditions from Japan, Korea, Russia and Turkey, presented through a very American wellness/spa experience. Most areas are co-ed and swimsuits are required. SALT LOUNGE: Cozy and relaxing, with huge bean bags, heavy blankets and a disposable heated eye mask. The 45-minute session is strictly timed. Since I was late, I only got around 15 minutes. MASSAGE: This was mixed. My first therapist, Corinne, was very nice and professional, but her massage was much gentler than expected. I specifically requested firm/deep pressure with extra focus on my shoulders and lower back. She started fairly firm but became light despite asking twice for more pressure. She also didn't work on my lower back as requested. She explained afterward that she was concerned about hurting my "bones," which confused me because I meant the normal lumbar area. I also felt a fair amount of the 50 minutes went into managing three layers of blankets. Personally, I'd rather have more time spent working on the muscles. The front desk later explained that Asha's massage philosophy is primarily relaxation-focused. This explained the mismatch. The questionnaire came only about 10 minutes before my appointment; asking about pressure and preferences when booking would make more sense. Fortunately, my host recommended Billy, whom she described as their number-one massage therapist and an experienced chiropractor's-office therapist. He did NOT disappoint. He used the firm/deep pressure I wanted, worked on my lower back, spent much less time with blankets, repositioned my pillow when I turned over, and gave me helpful insight into tense areas and stretches to try at home. If you want firm/deep pressure, I'd definitely ask for Billy. BATHHOUSE: The facility is nice, clean, quiet and aesthetically pleasing, with hot pools, cold plunge, sauna, steam room, showers, another pool/sauna area, salt lounge and massage rooms. The biggest difference was what "bathing" means here. Asha asks guests to bring a bathing suit and rinse/wash with the provided body soap while wearing it before entering communal pools. I'm accustomed to a more thorough ritual: washing your entire body, shampooing your hair, washing your face, etc. Because you're normally undressed in the bathing area, you can fully wash before entering communal pools. At Asha, you're wearing a swimsuit and rinsing in a co-ed area, so some areas aren't thoroughly washed. I also noticed dead skin in a few communal pools, so I still wanted to shower properly when I got home. I suspect this is the practical compromise of a co-ed, swimsuit-required bathhouse in a compact American wellness setting. That's the key to understanding Asha: it isn't trying to recreate a Korean jjimjilbang, Japanese sentō/onsen, Russian banya or Turkish hammam. It takes selected elements: communal soaking, heat, cold, sauna, relaxation and body treatments, and simplifies them into a modern American wellness experience. AMENITIES & FACILITY: Another area where Asha felt surprisingly minimalist and somewhat cost-conscious for the price. There aren't basic toiletries such as shampoo, conditioner, face wash or body lotion, or conveniences I'm accustomed to at bathhouses/nicer gyms, such as cotton buds, hair dryers or hair ties. Even a towel costs $5 if you don't purchase a retreat package. I understand towel rentals are common, but I found this surprising at a bathhouse. They also don't allow payment to be split. A small issue, but unnecessarily inflexible when attending with someone else. There are no pool jets, which seems intentional since the focus is quietness and relaxation rather than hydrotherapy. The main pool floor stays VERY wet, and staff frequently have to clear the water. Better drainage would help. The pool area is also quite HUMID. OVERALL: I enjoyed experiencing Asha because it really is something different in Sacramento. The key is having the right expectations. If your goal is to relax, soak, sauna, have a massage and disconnect from your phone for a few hours, you'll probably enjoy it. If you're looking for the full bathing/hygiene ritual of a regular bathhouse, extensive amenities, hydrotherapy features or strong therapeutic massage, you may find Asha somewhat bare-bones for the price.

My friend Bianca V. introduced me to Asha Urban Baths and I FELL IN LOVE! We reserved our spot right when they open on a Sunday. I really liked this because it wasn't too busy and I could still enjoy the other tasks I had to do throughout the day. It was great to start my Sunday at Asha and the start of my week! I experienced restoration of my well being through water and heat at Asha. The soak was nourishing and relaxing. This was my first cold plunge experience and I really enjoyed it. I felt awake after! The sauna was great. It was my first time doing that too. It was soothing and my skin felt so great after this whole experience. The customer service is great when you check in and out. I wasn't the only newbie and it was wonderful to have the kind staff tell us about what to expect with the lockers, changing rooms and showers. There's parking in the lot by the building and street parking. Check out this bathhouse for a relaxing vibe! I cannot wait to go back.

LOVE my skin/glow after

Had such a wonderful time visiting Asha again. This time I brought my best friend. I love bringing people here for a new experience. It's such a relaxing and inviting place. This time was also my first time enjoying the salt lounge. It took a minute for my brain to quiet and full enjoy it but it was much needed after a crazy busy and exhausting week. I have been trying to give my body and mind the TLC they so desperately crave while being on a big project at work that makes my brain crave peace and quiet as soon as I log off so this was perfect! As always the staff were wonderful and attentive and I felt so relaxed and refreshed after. I can't recommend visiting Asha enough. Also, the price for 2 hrs is amazing! Thank you for another wonderful time and looking forward to visiting again! Pro-tips: -Bring two towels (the extra one for sitting in the sauna/steam rooms is ). -An extra bag/trash bag is essential for your wet items. -Make sure to hydrate before and during, but also..have a water bottle waiting in your car when you're done. -Bring lotion!

10/10, will always recommend. This is an excellent self-care / treat yourself activity. It's $39 for 2 hours in the bathhouse; alternating between the warm pool, steam room or sauna, and ice bath/bucket. Water stations are available in both the front house and back annex. I would suggest bringing 2 towels (one to use, one to dry off with after), slides that won't slip, a water thermos, a full set of clothes to change into, and a snack for later. They have towels and shoes available for rental and lockers to store your things. I love this place.

I was nervous to come by myself because I recently had a stroke and don't move the same but I had no problems at all! I felt so relaxed after! Can't wait until Tuesday for my massage!

Relaxation time

AHHHHH....mazinnnngggg :) Idk how it has taken me so long to get here, but so glad I finally made it. It will definitely be rotated into my self-care routine. My friend treated me to a birthday bath experience. We got to experience 2+ hours of pure bliss. It is nice that there is free parking on-site. You go in and are greeted by the wonderful welcoming staff. They check you in and provide you a key for a locker to keep your things in. They have you sign a waiver and give you a brief intro of what to expect and house rules. They also provide complimentary non-slip slippers...but towels are 1 for $3 or 2 for $5. You must have a towel to sit on in the steam room and saunas. It is important to note that this is a bathing suit required bathhouse and all spaces are communal and for men, women, non-binary, etc. There are private bathrooms and changing rooms though. This is also an unplugged experience so phones and app devices must stay in the locker. Once you exit the locker room, you enter into the first space with showers, salt water mini warm pool, steam room, sauna, and one of my favorites - the cold water plunge bath! There are some areas to just lounge as well. I love that they have signage reminding you about noise level (quiet voices only) and prompts to guide you through the experience. We started with rinsing off then went to the steam room. After the steam room/sauna, you are required to rinse off again before entering the baths. So after the steam room and the rinse, I went to the cold plunge bath which was cold but actually not too bad! You gotta just go for it and dip your whole head in- it just invigorates you! I think I did this 3 or 4 times and each time I was able to stay in a bit longer! We also went to the sauna and the warm salt water mini pool. The next area which is outside is known as the "Social Space" where you are allowed to converse at normal speaking voice and bask in the sun and lounge. There is also a back building which has another warm salt water mini pool, sauna, and Ice bucket showers and regular showers. At the time we went it was a complete silence area, but they seem to vary when talking is allowed in the space. This area also has the salt room, sound room, and massage rooms (but these are all separated in the back and cost extra and are by appointment only). It's so nice they have cold drinking water with cups available in both areas and they encourage you to stay hydrated... its also smart to have electrolytes (Gatorade/Pedialyte) before and after (although this is not allowed during the experience, you can keep in your locker and return there to drink as needed). Lastly, they do provide plastic bags for your wet clothes to take home. No blow dryers as this would interrupt the peaceful space. This was just what I needed after being on the go and burning the candle at both ends the past couple of weeks... I really enjoyed it and would love to see if they do monthly memberships or discounts if you buy visits in bulk. Thank you so much for providing this retreat space in my hometown!

I've been wanting to check this spot out for a year now but was hesitant. So now that I've tried it out, I'm going to be as detailed as possible since I was curious about these things. - Arrived for a morning reservation for just the $39 bathhouse experience. Was more crowded than expected. - They have: 2 warm pools(no jets), 1 cold plunge pool, 2 cold buckets, 1 steam room, 2 dry saunas, & an outdoor seating/relaxing area. - There's a free small parking lot, fits about 12 or so cars. - Front desk people were nice during check in, they explained all the rules and everything well. - No need to bring your own lock, you get a key for a locker in exchange for your ID. - Towels and sandals are for rent. But I brought my own. But my flip-flops weren't grippy at all, so walking around was extremely slippery on the smooth concrete floors. - The locker/change area is co-ed but they have individual stalls you can change in. It was interesting but I didn't mind it. - They have water dispensers and paper cups for hydration. - The showers are for rinsing off, so they don't have private showers to do a full shower. They have Body Gel but no shampoo. - There were no hairdryers, but I asked the front desk and they brought one out for me to use. ------ Reasons for the 3 stars: I understand the lack of amenities is to keep the costs down, but I feel it's still on the pricier end for what there is and the overall experience. I started off in the first warm pool for a few mins but they had to close it down to treat the pool water, which I thought was strange why they had to suddenly do that during business hours, and also wonder what was wrong with the water. Everyone ended up moving to the second warm pool so it was pretty crowded for a while. The second pool was a bit cleaner. Also, they don't turn on the jets for the pools because they want to keep the place quiet. For early morning, the water was cloudy and kind of dirty already.. After they treated the pool, I was assuming it would've been cleaned but it wasn't, it was still dirty. The cold plunge pool was cold, but the cold buckets weren't as cold. The cold pool's water smelled like bleach or something. The first dry sauna was on the cooler end, about 150F. But the 2nd sauna was warmer, at about 190F, and this one is supposed to have the eucalyptus scent but it doesn't always. They come by once in a while to put the scented mixture in. Since the place is kind of small, I found two hours being enough for me. I did at about 5 rounds of the hot and cold cycle. Overall the place was clean, only the first warm pool was dirty. It was decently relaxing for the most part, but not sure if I'd return.

Always a relaxing experience and good massages. People do a good job of following the noise rules and it's usually pretty quiet. It's kept clean and not too crowded.

Asha Urban Baths in Sacramento was an incredible experience--so calming, intentional, and relaxing from start to finish. We loved it so much that we're making it a biannual tradition, especially as a New Year reset. Some of us did the sound immersion, others the salt lounge, and everyone left feeling restored. We all got massages too--huge shoutout to Ricky for an amazing, deeply relaxing massage. Can't wait to come back!

Ask the Community - Asha Urban Baths

We came on Tuesday late morning. The back hot pool room smelled of fresh paint or petroleum products to me. Others thought it might be liniment? Like icy hot? Is this normal or were we there on an off day?

Hey Randy, we have a Eucalyptus sauna in the back building, so pretty certain that's what you noticed. Always feel free to check with our awesome team about anything while you're here- so they can set your mind at ease!

Which day and hours of the day is least busy? Thank you.

Hey Ann! Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 12pm to 4pm tend to be our slowest days and times.

Are there ever any specials going for massages or baths?

Thanks for reaching out! We strive to maintain fair pricing all year instead of running occasional specials. However, we do offer our Retreat Yourself packages, which include a combination of massage, salt, or sound services, plus two hours in the… 

Does asha only take reservations or do they take walk ins too?

We do take in walk ins when we have open reservations. If reservations are fully booked, we're unable to take walk ins due to being at at capacity.

How cold is the cold plunge?

Is there a separate hot tub / sauna area for men and women or will they be in the sauna / hot tub, etc ... together?

Everything is shared

What type of clothing should I wear in the salt lounge? Any tips / things I should know about the salt lounge ahead of time?

Hi Carolyn! Wear comfortable clothing you can rest in. :) The temperature of the room is kept on the cool side so that the salt can disperse through the air, and we do provide weighted blankets. But if you tend to run cold, you may want to keep that… 

I have a group of 6 going, but one person doesn't want to do a massage while the rest of us do, will this affect with the reservation?

Hello! Good question. It's totally fine for one person in a group to not participate in getting a massage. For any other specific questions about your group visit, you can contact our Group Coordinator by emailing frontdesk@ashaurbanbaths.com :)

How much for prenatal massage and for single bath?

Hi, Mark! A 50 min massage plus a bathhouse visit is $130. The price is the same for prenatal as it is for other styles of massage, just make sure you specify that you want prenatal when you book so that you get scheduled with the right therapist :)

What is the locker room situation please? Does Asha provide locks or do we bring our own? I see that phones are not allowed in the spa area, so want to make sure can lock up phones etc.

Asha provides keys for the lockers. You'll receive a key on a bracelet that you wear while in the spa.

What are the temperatures on the hot soak and cold plunge? Thanks

Hi Judith! The warm pool is around 104-105 degrees and the cold plunge is between 58-60 degrees! :)

Where can I find information on the yoga classes? I see it on your pictures but don't see it on your website.

Hi, Zoila! We used to be a yoga studio AND a bath house, but we do not have the yoga studio anymore. :)

Is there any places to relax nude? Are is swimsuit always required

It's unisex so I think it is required.

Is this business plus size friendly, and can I be alone in the water to relax?

It's friendly! But it's a shared facility so there can be many people there.

Do they massage pregnant ladies?

Hi Jacqueline, we do! Just be sure to book it as “Prenatal” so you’re scheduled with a massage therapist who’s trained for that :). Congratulations and hope to see you soon <3

Due to COVID are you still open and provide if services for couples?

No longer holding couples massages. You're more than welcome to get massages at the same time! Just in separate rooms due to covid. You can always salt lounge and use the bathhouse together also :)

I'm interested in a group massage with friends for a birthday, does that group massage also include use of the bathhouse?

Hi! If their policies haven't changed, then yes. We had a group of 3 when we went in December for massages & also had access to the bathhouse for the entire day (even with in/out privileges for brunch, lunch, early dinner, or whatever). It was… 

Is an appointment required to use the bathhouse?

From their website: "No need to buy in advance. Stop by during our business hours and we will be happy to receive you."

What is the temperature of the hot bath?

103 - 104 degrees in winter and about 100 degrees in summer

How much is the sauna, soak, bath and massage package?

You might follow the link to their website, where all the fees are listed. My recollection is that they have seasonal specials and one-offs, so best to get the info from AUB itself. Also, the sauna, soak and bath is all in one place for one fee, so…

When my daughter and I walked in, we noticed a beach scene painted on the walls. We sat on the couch while the receptionist finished a transaction with another customer. After a few minutes, we were called back and shown the changing room. We were able to change and safely store our clothes and purses in lockers that only we had the key to. We were given clean robes and slippers, then directed to the relaxation room to wait for our couples "Perfect Time Out for 2" spa package in a private suite. The package includes either a 30-minute aromatherapy sauna or a 30-minute hydrotherapy bath, followed by a 60-minute combination massage. The combination massage uses both light and medium pressure and is meant to ease muscle tension, improve circulation, and promote lasting relaxation. We only sat in the relaxation room for a few moments before our massage therapists told us that our private suite was ready. When we walked in, the room was dark and lit with battery-operated candles. It smelled wonderful, and soothing music was playing. There was also a television mounted in the corner, which I didn't feel was necessary in such a relaxing environment. We began with the hydrotherapy bath. The bath normally includes almond oil, but because one of us has a mild almond allergy, they substituted bath salts and other wonderfully scented oils instead. The tub had jets that we could turn on, and it was very relaxing. After 30 minutes, our massage therapists let us know it was time to move to the tables for our 60-minute massages. We got down to our birthday suits and slipped underneath the sheets. Penny was my massage therapist, and my daughter had Remni. Penny did massage my entire body, but it felt more like she was rubbing my skin rather than working the muscles underneath. Honestly, I have had better 30-minute massages at the mall and during pedicures. However, I did appreciate the stretches and the relaxing oil rubdown.... sort of. I really wanted my muscles to be rubbed, but we never got there. My daughter, on the other hand, said her massage was amazing. Ugh--that's what I wanted! I'm glad she enjoyed herself. She said she would definitely go back. I would consider returning too, but I would want a different massage therapist next time. Throughout our visit, we were offered complimentary beverages. After our massages, we sat in the relaxation room, where I enjoyed a glass of red wine. Once I finished, we returned to the changing room. There was also a shower available if we wanted to rinse off before getting dressed. My daughter and I changed and headed to the front to take care of the bill. I was able to use a gift card given to me by someone I used to know, so thanks, buddy! Overall, the private suite and hydrotherapy bath were relaxing, the atmosphere was soothing, and my daughter absolutely loved her massage. My experience was a little more mixed, but I would still be open to returning and trying someone else. I felt like the massage part of the package was a very important part, and it unfortunately fell short, so I did let the front desk know. And please, don't forget to tip!

Fast forward to a week later, I'm checking in early and getting the tour and find out that not only is the jacuzzi out of service but their sauna is too. Le sigh. I get my massage which was not relaxing (the masseuse was nice but moved really fast the whole time, except on my forearms) Hard to enjoy someone vigorously rubbing your back for 80 mins. No biggie, bc facials are always slow and relaxing and this next part will help calm me down. My esthetician wasn't ready when I got out of the massage (was still setting up) so I grab a snack, go to the restroom and tell my husband to enjoy the hotel pool. He pays and then goes to the pool. Facial time! I get in the chair and a scratchy hair protector was put on me and she proceeds to wash my face and put on a quick enzyme mask. That's the first time she steps out the room. I'm not thinking anything of it. She eventually comes back, wipes off the enzyme, and then proceeds to tell me that her heart rate is raising high and she needs to drop it, and I was like ok no worries. I was another min or two and then ask, hey should I get someone? And she says yes I'm having a medical emergency please grab my manager. So I step off the table naked (hoping no one is looking lol), grab my robe, see her lying on her back on the floor with legs elevated on her stool, then I run into the hall and say hey esthetician name is having a medical emergency and the manager and receptionist rush in. At this point I'm calling it and decide to cut my losses and go to the pool. Get the bikini on and am about to walk to the pool when the manager comes back in to ask if I want to continue the facial! I'm concerned this girl is going to pass out on me while I'm on the table, no thank you. She prob needs to go home! Why are you trying to have her work some more when she literally had a medical emergency, so I decline and ask again "is she actually ok?" Am told yes and then offered spf. At that point I go to the pool which was another horror story for another day. We return maybe 1 hr 45 mins later and are then told we will only get a partial refund bc the service was almost over, which I am not sure if this is accurate bc I was naked on a table with my eyes closed, not staring at my watch. At this point my flabbers are gasted. My bday was lame. I would expect a spa anywhere to offer a refund for a service that was not completed due to not fault of my own and if they really wanted to be nice, provide a credit to come back and actually experience a proper facial and jacuzzi. Or even offer to pay for a drink! Long story short, don't recommend coming here.

Had two amazing experiences recently. First attended a full moon meditation. The space was…read moreexcellent for a group meditation setting, there was pre-smudging at entry, calming environment with fire and water features, aroma treatment, a soundbath and a very deep and relaxing guided mediation. It overall was a wonderful experience. The second experience was me and by favorite friend coming in for facials and relaxation time. We started in the lounge and after completing the questionaire were put into robes and slippers and had time in the salt room. This room was just lovely! There was aromatherapy, a tarot card pull and reading, singing/sound bowl and then we were left to simply relax and meditate together. It was hands down the best pre-service experiences we've had in any spa, and we have been to A LOT of spas. Then we both had our facials. My esti was calm, assuring, and educated. Her touch was amazing and the recommended service items were delivered perfectly. After the service apple cinnamon infused water and dark chocolate dipped pineapples were provided and we were advised we could go back into the loung and relax for as long as we wanted before leaving. My friends facial was also superb. The front desk staff was friendly, knowledgeable and easy to talk with. The boutique itself had nice selections for purchase. Will definately be back!

I treated myself to a 1 hr facial and massage. Once I entered the place smelled really good and…read morethe front desk was very friendly. They attended to me very quickly and brought me to the waiting room. I first got my massage. She was also very friendly and did a great job. I was satisfied with the massage. After, she brought me water and a chocolate covered pineapple. I then had my facial which was also very good. I definitely would recommend this place if you want to relax and get all the knots off your body! I can't wait to go back Mariecel

My husband and I booked a 90-minute couples massage, and we will DEFINITELY be coming back! From…read morestart to finish, everything was amazing. The spa was extremely clean, comfortable, and kept at the perfect temperature. Meya and Angie were absolutely wonderful! They paid special attention to our problem areas and maintained consistent pressure throughout the entire massage. I don't think I've ever had so many knots worked out in one session! I also loved all the little touches, especially the heated eye pads and warm towels at the beginning. I highly recommend adding the Tiger Balm as well. It made the entire experience even more relaxing! What made our visit extra special was the adorable little birthday setup they prepared for my husband. Such a thoughtful gesture that we truly appreciated! To top it all off, they had hot tea and delicious snacks waiting for us after our massages. It's the little details that really make a difference! Overall, an incredible experience with amazing service and attention to detail. We left feeling completely relaxed and refreshed. Highly recommend Melada and Angie! We can't wait to come back!

I was quickly greeted at the door and offered sort of like an intake form, which I LOVED. I was able to discreetly circle the parts of my body I wanted more or less work on/pressure! Then I was offered an ice sweet herbal tea made by owner herself, I heard. It was delicious!! Here comes the exciting part-- the massage itself!! Ugh, it was a dream! I had the hot stones & wax, wow 10/10 recommend!!
