Fantastic bathhouse that everyone should experience. The entire place exudes calm and peace. The wet and dry saunas are great, as are the thermal pools and cold plunge pool. The sanctuary is kept tidy and clean and it is spacious enough so that you feel as though you have the place to yourself. The owners are great folks and have brough a very unique and wonderful experience to KC that is worth the visit! read more

Klā Sanctuary is such a unique addition to Kansas City! I've experienced bathhouse culture while traveling, especially in Japan, so I loved getting to experience something similar right here in KC. The thermal baths were incredible, along with the sauna and steam room. The entire space felt peaceful and refreshing, with thoughtful touches like warm tea, water, clean locker rooms, showers, and places to freshen up afterward. They also offer solo and couples massages if you want to make more of a day out of it. Such a great experience whether you're visiting Kansas City or just need a few hours to slow down! Phones are NOT allowed - I worked with KLA to help promote the business/marketing plan. read more

What to bring: - swimsuit - any hair products you want to use after showering - plenty of time to slowly transition out (and enjoy the Selah cafe next door) What they have for you: - plenty of towels - bathrobe - rubber spa shoes (for wet or dry areas) - powder room with moisturizer, hair dryer, lotion, deodorant, eye drops, ear swab - bathroom with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash - large locker with built-in lock - water and hot tea It worked well for me. However I noticed that despite their ADA compliance, it's still a little tricky for people who might have mobility issues to navigate. It gets slippery esp with all the water dripping from people as they transition spaces. Overall I did enjoy my time and found 90 mins was the perfect amount of time. Long enough to feel luxurious but short enough my fingers didn't get pruney. The staff is really super helpful and thoughtful. I appreciate the auto 20% tip as it makes things more straightforward. Even when there was a lot of people in the small sanctuary spaces (10-20 clients), it still felt super peaceful bc everyone is respectful and quiet. People also come in waves, so at times it felt very full and at other times I had a pool all to myself. The price point makes complete sense given all they offer, but I'm a little too constrained financially to do this more than just a few times in my life. read more

Klā Sanctuary - Day Spas Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

It's been so long since I've been able to enjoy a good massage at a spa. I'm glad I found Kla Sanctuary. I booked the EARLY BIRD INTUITIVE MASSAGE (50 MIN) online, it was pretty easy although I really don't need anymore accounts. My daughter and I showed up very early for my massage appointment and her sanctuary pass. In the west bottoms, you wouldn't begin to the imagine the serene space that awaits you. The simplistic earth tone decor and layout is so warm. There is Selah lounge where you can have a seat and enjoy a beverage (matcha, specialty drinks and more) on the left of the initial entry and to the right the spa entry. You walk in to an array of Sanctuary merchandise. We were greeted by Raneem who checked us in and also handled settling the final payment. We were supplied spa sleepers to replace our street shoes then escorted to the Integration Room where you could partake in Shang tea and filtered water, relax while you wait for you escort to the locker room. There's a table with a reflection stone where you can write your goal while you're at the spa. It's a definitely a way to focus and prepare yourself for your experience. The bathhouse has many baths that facilitate your wellness, relaxation and reset. Christian guided us back In the locker room which has every comfort for you to start and end your stay, it's co-ed so you'll want to use the change rooms or private toilets. You'll get your own personal locker. There's also a powder room which has complimentary essentials and there are swimsuit dryers. I changed into my swim suit then Christian guided us into the Sanctuary. No electronics or pictures allowed in the locker room or beyond. It's so peaceful. The mood is set! Upon entry into the spa sanctuary, you'll immediately feel like you're in a world of tranquility. In a way you might feel overwhelmed with all the wonderful features you're about to enjoy. I met two masseuses, Gina and Celeste, both were pleasant. Celeste was my masseuse that provided an all around the world experience complete with sound therapy, deep tissue/Swedish full body massage with very fragrant oil. I was so relaxed. The private treatment room again follows the spa layout with beige and neutrals colors and wicker seating. After my massage I was able to use the Luxurious variety of baths: Therme Bath (104 degress) to RELAX you, Cold Batch (70 degrees) to ENERGIZE you, Warm Batch (98 degrees) for you to SOAK, Minerals Bath (98 degrees) with epsom salt and magnesium to SOOTHE you. Prior to enjoying the baths, I had to remove the oils and so I used the Reset Shower and the Salt Altar to exfoliate. It was sensational. There is also more organic tea and filtered water as refreshments by the shower. I took my time enjoying all of the Bath including the stepping stones to massage my feet so more. The best part of the Sanctuary for me was the Infrared Sauna room and Herbal Steam room. Megan was also part of the wonderful staff that made sure our stay comfortable. Someone swiped my slippers so I needed a new pair. I also left my lip balm in my robe before tossing it with dirty linen drop. Denisse was kind enough to go get it. I'm telling you the staff here will make your experience very relaxing, be helpful and very kind. read more

I highly recommend a 90-minute intuitive massage from Makenna. One of the best massages I have ever had. Focused on my head and neck, but also did some much-needed stretching of my legs and arms. Unique, relaxing and therapeutic. read more

This review is a great pleasure for me to write for my first time at Kla sanctuary. I was excited to try this as the yelp reviews looked great and promising. I had scheduled to do a sanctuary pass 90 minutes and a 90 minute massage. The pricing was reasonable. I was made aware to come two hours prior to my scheduled appointment for my massage parking around the building was available on street and under the bridge nearby. I was able to find a parking spot walking distance and when I arrived, I was welcomed in by the host I had let them know that it was my first time and they mentioned that I was a few minutes early. They said that I could go to the conjoined café next-door while I wait for my appointment time as I stopped by. I was able to get a Matcha with coconut water, pink tea leaves and enjoy my space. The barista were very friendly and ensure that I was happy with my choice and made sure that everything was perfect. Once it was my time for my sanctuary pass. The receptionist came to the café to bring me up and walked me through the steps they gave me sandals to change into and held my shoes for me. They showed me to the first room where I would wait for my provider to show me around once I got inside they went over how the shower works the lockers bathroom and they also walked me through to show me how the pools work the saunas the steam room and also they had a Himalayan salt exfoliate for when you want to scrub overall, I made the most of my experience and tried all the amenities. They had a hot bath, a cold bath, a warm bath, and even a mineral bath, which all of them were amazing my favorite part was they don't overbooked too many people at once it was only me and a couple the entire time I was there which was nice and made it very relaxing and peaceful. They even had tea and water to make sure you were hydrated and facial mist three different options to choose from I was extremely relaxed by the time it was my massage appointment. Denise was amazing and showed me to the shower so I can rinse before my massage and let me know what was needed before my provider. Tiffany helped me out with my massage. Tiffany showed up and was very kind. I'm very welcoming. I haven't had a massage in a long time and Tiffany definitely knew what she was doing. She found all the spots that needed to be massaged. I love that she was patient and kind yet strong handed and absolutely amazing. She made sure that I was comfortable and took her time. She was communicated and overall the best massage I've ever had. I highly recommend trying. Kla. read more

This is a new spot in Kansas City that gave me the luxury experience closer to home that I have been craving! Absolutely loved the sanctuary and getting to spend time relaxing prior to my massage treatment. It has various baths and saunas to enjoy. They were not all my cup of tea but loved the infrared sauna and the warm bath. The massage was one of the best I have had and left me feeling like I was on another planet. However, with them being a newer spot there were still some kinks to workout. While moving through check-in, the changing room, and the sanctuary there was never a clear expectation of the steps or what would be coming next so often left us feeling a bit confused. Gratuity was also included in the price of the treatment which I felt could have been explained a bit more clearly. Overall I would recommend and can't wait to come back! read more

I recently booked for a treatment + pass, an amazing experience! The staff were all friendly and easy to talk to, the amenities were well kept and clean. I was surprised the locker room was co-op but there is a member of staff in there so it wasn't awkward, plus there are separate shower/bathroom/changing stalls. Will be back!! read more

Loved the environment! Lovely, friendly staff. I can't wait to go back. Worth taking a day trip to KC if you are nearby.

Oh my gosh!!! This was an absolutely amazing experience for us! The spa was meticulously clean. The service was fantastic! The locker room, pools, sauna, steam room were great! And the extras they put in, like the salt scrub shower, and the rock bed treatment for our feet, and even the swimsuit spinners - so many extras on top of the incredible environment! We also had 90 minute couples messages. We have had massages in and out of the country many times, and we both agreed these were the absolute best messages we have ever had! Highly recommend! read more

This is a thoughtful whimsical space,very pleasant staff. Full disclosure I went to use facilities on the Instagram 40% off coupon. That being said they graciously gave me another 15% off due to the steam room not working With out me prompting. Very generous. So in all seriousness will I go back? I want to want too, but here's where all the friends sent me in first knowing I don't have a problem with nunity, shared spaces ext...the co-ed locker room situation even for me was VERY awkward and uncomfortable. Supposed to be a relaxing experience and I cannot relax thinking I might nip slip or something worse! That being said I know this spa will be a HARD NO for the ladies who sent me to scope it out. IT'S unfortunate because everything else seemed wonderful we usually treck up to the Elms a couple times a year to use their facilities, so I was excited to see something different and fresh but I think the co-ed locker room is just too much for the gals in the Midwest. read more

Nothing really like it in the area so I was excited to try it with a few girlfriends. We got a discounted rate for a special they are running so chose a longer massage. The pools are all great but there is limited time prior to your service to use it which was definitely enough time. They do a great job walking you through the spa and there are lockers, robes and shoes. No food or drink served other than water. The one issue was we were bound as a couple and no option to change since they have limited rooms. Luckily it was a good friend of mine although a bit awkward and they promised they would make it up to us when we checked out however, when we checked out, nobody had a clue about the mixup and they gave us a whole $45 split between the two of us for the inconvenience. They said they had already given us a discount, but it wasn't for the inconvenience of getting a couples massage and kind of blew us off. We wanted to leave since we've been there most of the day and just left. Unfortunately, a pretty nice day left a bad taste in her mouth on how they handled the service. The massage was good however it wasn't the best I've ever had while the ladies were lovely and I know every massage is different. I don't know that I would go back read more

I flew in from Las Vegas and came here before I had to go to a meeting and I absolutely adored the place... The feng shui was amazing and everybody was so nice... I got a massage from Evan and it wasn't just a regular massage. It was an extremely spiritual massage as somebody who partake in spiritual life, coaching and breath work, etc.. I was extremely impressed by the way that he was able to connect with my body and breathe through my muscles as he went along and the sound bowls was just the icing on the cake. I absolutely love this place and I plan to visit every time I come back and request Evan every single time. read more

This was amazing. The whole experience. The baths, the massage, the amenities. I'm definitely coming back!

Kansas City finally has a place that makes you feel like you're on vacation without leaving town. Before this, I only found experiences like this while traveling or on vacation, so I'm thrilled we now have something like this here in KC. My husband and I booked the Spa Sanctuary Pass along with a couple's massage, and it was the perfect way to unwind. The space was beautiful and serene, the attendants were attentive, and the massage therapists were excellent. Everything was spotless -- from the showers and changing rooms to the pools and relaxation areas -- which made it even easier to relax. The hot tea stations throughout were a nice extra. I'm already looking forward to going back again! read more

https://www.klasanctuary.com I posted a question regarding this spa. The question I had presented a lot of dialogue. There is a 20% staff support fee automatically added to your bill, that is in fact the tip and is very well explained under FAQ; there is no expectation of additional gratuity. No awkward standing outside the treatment room trying to find cash or settling the bill wondering if you've tipped enough. The billing is split-roughly 54% of the total bill is secured by your payment source upon making the reservation with the balance charged upon completion of treatment. There were no "hidden fees" as some have alleged. All that out of the way to share my experience. It was beyond wonderful! The relaxation area is very comfortable, plenty of comfortable seating, ambiance is nice. The changing area is "co-ed" with plenty of individual changing rooms and private showers. Very little to no risk of being seen in a compromising position. The sanctuary amenities available for use and included in the price of treatment include salt scrub shower, infrared sauna, steam sauna, float pool, and plunge pools (hot, warm, cold). Take full advantage of the time allocated for the sanctuary area. Very well organized, plenty of water and tea stations, and clean towels positioned around the area. The relaxation area, the amenities area and treatment rooms are extremely tranquil. Low lights, soothing music, use of inside / library voices. The staff I came in contact with, Nick, Ashley, Kelse and massage therapist, Summer were very friendly, helpful and professional. Summer has magic hands-absolutely amazing! If you are hesitant to experience KlaSanctuary based on things you've read or seen on TikTok, I can assure you those reviews are not what I experienced. Overall, KlaSanctuary is a welcome addition not only to KC but certainly to the West Bottoms. https://www.klasanctuary.com/?fbclid=IwdGRleANVB-ZleHRuA2FlbQExAAEedKmvUH7USExeb9WQIxIatYnDO46ixy_s4cRRUyYUR0ngUo7CJLg8jPti8NM_aem_K8r5QfYKAgPlOmh7PF_Ymw read more

The experience was so relaxing. You feel like you're in a star resort! Highly recommend.
