I brought my mom out here to SD for a long birthday weekend- and what a fantastic way to end it. I booked us the 3 hour build-your-own couples spa package and when we arrived, the two very sweet ladies were immediately prepared and expecting us. (Eva? Ena? and Becky) She kindly showed us to our room and began with an exfoliating luscious body scrub, leaving our skin so soft and smooth. Following with a full body hot stone massage, lymphatic draining and then a deep tissue weaved throughout. I waitress and bartend for a living so this helped SO MUCH with neck/shoulder tension and sciatica. My ma fell asleep and was asleep throughout most of it, and awoke feeling refreshed and loose. I too am so happy we decided to stop in. We will definitely be back the next time we are in SD. Thank you so much!' read more

I am a massage therapist in Portland Oregon That was the best massage I have received in a long time! Thank you miki. Very fair prices. And you can tell she loves what she does! read more

Booked spa package that consists of massage, facial and hot stones for 165$ to be told at the end that she forgot stones and that she will give me 5$ off. So i got scammed it's not a spa package, plus i let her know at the beginning that i want stones since they make a habit of forgetting this. Scam! read more

I took my sister and Mom to Malahini for a 90 minute massage with me and it was heaven! Maggie and the two other massage therapists were amazing at truly relaxing all our muscles and reviving us all with their Swedish massages. Each one of them took such great care of us and used their hands skillfully to loosen every single knot in our bodies! I highly recommend this day spa and so thankful for Maggie who relaxed all my muscles from head to toe! read more

Maggie is wonderful!! I love coming to the Malahini Day Spa. All the staff are great!

Amazing just Amazing !!!! Had the couples facial for the wife and I. Been to a few spa's in my time, from Vegas to Scottsdale and this was by far the best service we have ever received. Thank You read more

Ummmmmm I have hemmed and hawed about giving Malahini a review as I'm not sure exactly how I feel about my experience. The ladies were all very nice. When they first took me back to the room I was told to get undressed and then lie down on the table. Well that's all fine and dandy but I was just getting a facial and not a massage and this isn't my first rodeo. After some discussion between the presumed owner and another lady it was determined that I merely signed up for a facial therefore I did not to get completely undressed. Whew!!! Another lady came in and introduced herself as Anna and she was going to be doing my facial. Now I get facials more often than your average person and was surprised when Anna didn't tell me what she was doing as she went. "Your skin is sensitive so don't expose it to that much heat" then proceeded to send a very warm steam stream directly into the center of my forehead??? Uhhh ok There was ALOT of lotions and potions slathered onto my face (so much so that I felt the need to continually attempt to wash the products off my face afterwards to no avail). I felt like an oil slick. Any gnat is my vicinity would gotten completely stuck in the layers of lotion on my face. I absolutely hated it. Sorry. There was a massive amount of lotion in my hair which made me feel like a complete grease ball. Also I have never had such painful extractions in my life. I literally was tearing up during the procedure. I literally couldn't wait for my facial to be over!! read more

See all

Very nice massage! Immediate availability. Girls were so super sweet! Highly recommend.

I really wish I wasn't in a position to write a negative review but I am doing so or two reasons: I hope the owner of Malahini will get their staff proper training, or at the very least send them to get massages elsewhere so they can understand what a massage is supposed to be, and I hope to save other potential clients from wasting their money until the staff here is properly trained. Now, if you are a fan of massages that consist of elbows in your ribs and excessive oil lightly spread over your back and legs over and over again, this is the place for you. I've given two stars because the two staff members we experienced yesterday are clearly hard workers and seemed to want to make us happy. However, you should know that what is advertised is not what you will get. My wife and I made appointments for one hour massage and a European Facial. Read the website description of the European Facial then let me tell you what we got: one hour of lotion rubbed on our faces. I think there was some sort of mask because something stung for a few minutes. There is no explanation of what they are using, there are no extractions, and the "massage" part of the facial consisted of some rough leg pounding (?), maybe leg hitting is a more accurate term. It didn't feel good or seem to have a therapeutic purpose. The massage was just terrible. I had to ask her to stop the elbows in my ribs because a half hour in and that's all she had done (besides the oil. Oil and oil and more oil.) I asked her to move to my legs and she literally took my left foot and started rubbing one part of that heel. That was very odd. The language barrier was clearly a part of the issue but my wife was on the table next to me and her practitioner had more English so eventually I did get oil rubbed on my legs lightly and no more elbow in the ribs. We paid in cash as requested, including really decent tips for their time and hard work, not for the quality of the service, and as we were paying the practitioner who spoke English asked if we are sisters. No. Are we friends? Well, yes, but that's not the whole story. Why ask? What difference does it make? Certainly we couldn't be the only or first gay couple to patronize their business, but until there are some big changes here they won't see this couple again. read more

I like this place. They do a good job. Would recommend. Did a couples massage. A+.

I am very happy with the service and professionalism at the Malahini Day Spa. I just had a massage from Maggie and she was great. After my massage, I feel relaxed and stretched out after a long day. I recommend for anybody that is trying to prevent sports related injuries. read more

most amazing couples massage! highly recommend. always a great experience. thank you!

The service was great! We made an appointment an hour before and they got us in. We got the couples 1 hour massage and 30 min facial. Very relaxing and they made us very comfortable. read more

Don't buy the Groupon online!!!! It's only for 10:00AM or 7:30PM appointments M-F and weekends which is misleading and it doesn't say this anywhere on the Groupon. Which means they use it for click bait and would most likely rush your massages. read more

Horrible. Bad service, kept taking to each other. Charged us wrong price. Left room for 15 minutes and didn't make up time. Didn't speak English enough to understand. Didn't honor free massage after 10 visits. Seemingly pretended to be not understanding. Massaged wrong knee after telling her repeatedly. Face brace was so shabby I felt the metal and mentioned it several times. Awful awful awful!!!!!! Spoke with owner, Jean, and originally she apologized and offered a full refund or return for a complimentary visit. Our family had a stellar experience with this spa for years. We figured this was an anomaly. Yet, 11 days later, when I accepted Jean's kind offer for a full refund, and in exchange, she asked me to remove my reviews, she swiftly chose to not honor her refund from the massage occuring 05/13/2023. Jean, the owner, told me, " Sorry, but it's too late." I will never return, and neither will my friends and family. read more

Staff was very flexible and attentive to our needs. Thank you to them for making my experience a pleasant one.

To start, they Don't speak English, nothing nada zero! No way to communicate and let them know what kind of massage/service do you want. During the massage session, they don't STOP talking ! Very disrespectful:(... And wait for the best part!... you better give them a GREAT tip if Not, you are in TROUBLE! Doesn't matter if it was a good/bad service... if they are not happy with the tip they will start complaining, asking you to never come back, making faces, talking S$&&t (their language) you can tell by the body language... So, do yourself a BIG favor, Don't come here! read more

First time visit, & found them on Yelp with a special deal. You get 1 hr deep tissue full body massage for $65. I arrived on time and was greeted by UN. She was very nice and led me to the clean room, and it was warm too. Overall the massage was great but i'm more used to using hands rather than the elbow and arms to massage my back. Also, she did only 1 min on my feet which was odd. You begin face down and spend %60 time in this position. After about 8 min of rubbing my back on top of a sheet, she removed it and placed warm hot stones in a pile on the base of my back. i usually get the hot stone at the end of massage so this was a nice unexpected feature which worked well. Once i flipped over to my back, she worked on legs , shoulder, neck, & head. She frequently asked if it was too hard and did I like the massage which was nice to interact during my session. Overall, its a nice, clean place with great service but i've had better here in SJ for $40 plus tip. read more

The name sounds great right? A "day spa", sounds fancy and all encompassing of relaxation. Well, it's not. It really isn't. Please take your money elsewhere--like to Costco be buy yourself a massage gun. This would of been cheaper & a better solution to the knots on my back. I have been to numerous spas, and have gotten a number of massages, this has probably been the worst massage I've ever received--halfway into my massage the lady switched out with another worker. I could immediately tell he difffence from the pressure and hands. Fine, but there was no actual set areas done, they kept jumping around my body like a ping pong ball. They used their elbows and arms and who knows what else. Not entirely relaxing. No attention was given to the neck, hands or feet. Also, hot stones and "exclusive" oil were used without our consent and charged $15 extra. We weren't told about this until we had to pay. I get it, COVID has been tough on all of us but this is now how you get or retain customers. Money flushed down? $360 with tip. The ladies were nice but I don't think either of them knew what they were doing. Oh, and let's not talk about the "facial" I was supposed to receive. It was a joke. The steam machine didn't work so they wrapped my face with a towel and called it a day. And with that said, the music also gave out halfway into the massage. So I had to listen to silence. A little awkward right ? Save yourself a headache and don't come here. read more

Fantastic experience overall. Great massage. Highly recommend. Great value for the cost. read more

Excellent service and were able to accommodate my friend and I on short notice on a Saturday morning.

These ladys were fantastic. We came in on a whim.. basically just walked by and decided to see if there were openings. They fit us in right away. Checked our temps and they wore masks the whole time. The massage was great, they focused on my sore areas and we both left out of there feeling like jelly. Overall, it was a pleasant experience. read more

Wonderful massage at great prices, I love that they use hot stones too. Been here about 5 times, love it!

Came here for the first time with my adult daughters for massages and facials. We were treated very respectfully by the staff and had a most relaxing appointment. If you want to treat yourself to a relaxing spa day, I recommend this place. read more

Absolutely terrible! Mistakenly bought a Groupon for a couples massage before checking on yelp. We figured it's Coronado it can't be too bad- WRONG! The room was bright= no dimmed lights. They played the same song on repeat. The two therapists didn't stop talking, I lifted my head up twice in an attempt to let them know that was rude but nope didn't stop them. Then my boyfriends therapist started burping!!!! So obviously I asked my boyfriend if it was him!? THEY said no, I'm like what the hell! Then my therapist started snapping her finger and not very engaging in her 1 hand that's on my neck so I lifted my head again and our door was open and she was moving a hair clip attached to a robe on the door. That's when I just said I'm done. They didn't understand what I was asking/ saying so I had to literally say "get out so I can get dressed, I'm leaving ". Worst experience EVER. read more

Definitely not the place to go if you are looking for a professional massage experience. First of all I booked a deep tissue couples massage with my boyfriend and no matter how much I requested for the pressure to be harder they wouldn't got harder than a soft Swedish. For me, it was completely pointless. It felt like the woman had no real training and she didn't understand anything I said. If you are going to provide customer service to English speakers, it would be helpful to learn English so communication is possible. During the massage they were directly from massaging my feet to massaging the face, which felt a bit icky. Oh and they full you hair during the massage?!! What in the actual heck. My poodle could have given me a better massage. On top of that, the sheets were stained and the rooms are very outdated. Absolutely tossed $200 down the drain with this place. Save you money. read more

Imagine being immersed at the edge of an island in a small private oasis of comfort. While looking for a massage place, this one came highly reviewed, and it was quite worth it. We made a reservation over the phone, and it was quite easy to book a massage. When we arrived we had a small wait, however once let in had a great time!! There was very relaxing music, and the massage was comfortable and adjustable (strong and painful, or soft and relaxing); it was a great balance! They used hot stones which was a new experience for me, both interesting and relaxing! There are not enough synonyms to describe a good massage. As long as the experience is good and the price is reasonable, it will be worth it! They get an added bonus for being a solid place on Coronado Island! Will be back here!! read more

My boyfriend and I had a couples massage at Malahini and enjoyed the warm and quiet atmosphere in the room.

Nice ladies and amazing services. So much bang for your buck.... The package deals are the way to go. My friend and I had our girl trip planned, so this was a last minute add on. So glad we did it! Would highly recommend. read more

Just got out of a horrible massage. Booked a deep tissue but ended up just getting oil rubbed on my body. Worse part is when she finally put more pressure like I requested, it was on my neck, which I thought was going to strangulate me. Waste of money and time. read more

We came here this morning for our couples massage. Since it was in Coronado, we thought it was a nice spot to relax. Walking in, our first impression was that the place was really old and the decor was out of date. When you walk in, there is an area to the right where it seems like it is storage with a bunch of junk. They use a curtain to cover the space. The couples room was small and again, the bed cover was old looking. The bed was not covered in a sheet so I assume they use a wipe to clean it. Not my idea of a massage bed especially if you are not clothed. The sheets felt dirty on our bodies. It felt damp and grungy. The sheet that covered you was too small so if it wasn't perfectly centered, part of your body was not covered. My fiancé's massage therapist was Peter? I just know his nickname is PJ. He was very kind and very positive. Great personality. However, his technique of massage was more about "putting positive energy" into you rather than a massage. My fiancé said a lot of his session was breathing and PJ moving in troubled areas with very light touch. He also said that there was one point where PJ just had his hand on him and PJ was either closing his eyes or meditating to bring in "positive energy". My fiancé wanted a massage to get out his knots to relax. He did not get that. As for my message therapist, I don't even know her name because she never introduced herself. She's the Asian (Filipino?) one. My massage was terrible. On the paper they had us fill out, I marked that I wanted to focus on my neck, shoulders, and back. She did not honor that and worked on everything. Lots of head scratching and working on my triceps. At one point, she cupped my ears with her hands for about 2min. What was that about! This massage was not what I was looking for. I asked for more pressure but she just doesn't provide that well. Also, her technique was not relaxing at all. It was very rapid and not soothing. Every part she was working on was quick movements with her hands. Overall, we left very unsatisfied. We have been to many massage places and this is one is on the bottom of our list. Not happy with the massage here at all and will never be back nor recommend it. read more

Great little place! Nothing fancy, but they give an amazing massage (I had the lomi lomi) and are incredibly sweet and hospitable. They seem to have great specials and we each got a massage, scrub, and facial for $165/each. The rooms are dark and quiet with soft music playing. The ladies do everything to make you comfortable. Definitely worth a visit whether you are local or visiting. Convenient location close to the ferry. read more

Used a groupon for a couples massage and was very happy with our experience! The massages were great, my lady kept checking in with me and I felt very comfortable. Even as their last appointment of the day we got great service and great massages. read more

After a ten hour drive to get to Coronado, my mom was brilliant and purchased us both a 1 1/2 hour most incredible massage and body scrub. Each time we thought it was to end... it kept going. It truly was the most wonderful massage experience we both had. We love to have our massages yet this Malahini Day Spa was exceptional. I had the magical hands of Grace. My mom enjoyed the spirit of Jenny. We had such a wonderful experience and look forward to our return! Thank you again Grace!! My frozen shoulder already is losing the battle because of you! read more

Came here while on a little vacation. Was so amazing. My girl was great, got all the right spots with enough pressure to enjoy it but also get some tough knots out. The ladies were super sweet and listened to request. Loved it! Wil definitely go again! read more

My friend gifted me a Groupon that was a 60 minute contour body wrap with a 30 minute facial. I booked my appointment with Sammi and some of the process was new to me but she was very nice and beyond professional. It was my first time getting a contour body wrap, she explained the process and began and it was amazing. After being thoroughly wrapped she started the facial process and I was beyond impressed with the products that she used especially what seemed to be a rose or flower type of cold cream towards the end. I would definitely purchase the products next time I return and yes I would definitely come back! Their staff was very accommodating when redeeming the Groupon, and luckily the time slots for the appointments worked perfectly. Thank you again Sammi! read more

Well its been a while and I decided to freshen up my review. Stopped in yesterday and asked for an hour massage. They have a new therapist named Michelle who showed me to the back room. Laid down on the table and boy was I impressed, Michelle has a very strong but healing touch that not only worked out all the kinks out of my back but left me refreshed and rejuvinated! Thanks Michelle you were awesome and I will definately be back! Note to management keep Michelle around she really worked hard and had a healing touch in her hands! read more

Booked here for a couples massage with cupping. We had done cupping before elsewhere and it we enjoyed it but this experience was uncomfortable to the point of pain and we both asked them to remove the cups. While different techniques don't warrant a 1 star review, the lack of acknowledgment to us when we arrived, entered the room, or any question about what we wanted them to work on does. Also, at the end of the massage they left the door WIDE OPEN which had a straight line of site to the waiting room (with 4 people waiting). Finally, when I entered the tip on the payment tablet (they seemed upset we didn't pay cash) she watched me enter the amount and questioned me about it, implying I should tip more. read more

Staying close by, I searched Yelp and found this gem. I had a 90 minute massage for $90. I walked in, did not have an appointment, but I was taken right in. Hmm, wasn't sure how to feel about that. Started a little slow, but I tell you, she got into all the right muscles and massaged them so well. A job well done! read more
