Definitely my favourite spa in Vancouver for massages. The atmosphere is so relaxing, from the trickling water to the essential oils you can smell, they've done a really good job transporting you so you're relaxed before your treatment even starts. One thing I respect is they always give you your full time too, not like other places where you pay for a 60 minute massage but the first 10 minutes are them asking you questions or getting dressed and it's really only a 45 minute massage. No, they literally look at the clock once they start massaging and that's when your time starts. And everyone is great, I go to Hilary when I can, Miyako is great too, but honestly I've never had a bad massage there by anyone. The traditional thai massages are really nice, they give you clothing to wear and basically guide you into different stretches and push your body in ways that really stretch you out in the best way. Their aromatherapy massages are great too. If it's your first time I recommend the East to West as it includes a little bit of everything. read more

Smile Thai Wellness - Relaxation tea room (the ginger tea is great pre-treatment!) - Massage Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

This place is fantastic, I'm so glad I found it. We did the couples Lotus massages. The body scrub felt heavenly, the only part that threw us off was when the masseuse was massaging us with there knees, but it worked and felt so good (you can choose your level of strength they use). The facial made my face feel so fresh and rid of dead skin. I would go back in a heartbeat. read more

Smile Thai Wellness - Couples massage room - Massage Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

4.5 stars. Was recommended to us by ChatGPT and we figured it was worth a try since AI is always right . We had the East Meets West 90 minute couples massage and it was fantastic. A little painful in parts but the stretch was sooo needed. The massage therapists were attentive to our comfort levels and really knew how to work the muscles that needed it the most. Definitely worth the money and time! Be sure to make an appointment ahead of time. read more

Smile Thai Wellness provided me with a reinvigorating massage the other day. First off great location on Robson street and not far for sporting venues. Upon reviewing several types of massage options I telephoned in and made a reservation. Very flexible on the reservations so I was able to book based on my time frame, a huge plus. So I arrived and completed a small work sheet regarding health stuff. A nice young lady showed me to waiting room and gave me some flip flops to walk around in. Moments later was escorted to a room to begin my spa treatment. Let the wellness begin. Started off face down and she preformed the ancient art of massage. I went into a trance due to the relaxation of my body but at some point the masseuse had gotten onto the table and was on my back massaging. Felt great and was legit, just have never had a person climb up before. Now I book a 90 minute or 2 hr massage so from scalp to feet she penetrated muscle points that needed worked up... At the end she shared our time was done and if I desired to go to the tea room it was down that hallway. I'd say she was amazing cause I felt great. Hopefully you'll come and experience the power of the masseuse and her magical healing hands. read more

My 2nd tine here and not the last. I had been traveling from San Francisco to Central America to Toronto then here to Vancouver. I was so much in need of a good massage. My therapist Gem was excellent, she hit my pain points and worked on them from my neck, shoulders and back. I felt rejuvenated the next day and allowed me to get back to the grind with full force. This was very much needed and appreciate Gem. Until next time. read more

Yod was amazing and helped a lot with tension on one side of my neck due to constant pain from a nerve injury caused by a dentist. I have come here many times with my sibs who are often looking for great foot or back massage therapy especially after spending all day walking or working. They don't seem to have foot massage so we go elsewhere for that but they do offer other massage therapy. As you walk in you smell the ginger and jasmine filled air and are instantly calmed by the quiet backdrop of Thai music and various statues and art in the lobby /entrance area. After your treatment you can relax in the middle area drinking peppermint or ginger tea and listening to calming music. The rooms are private and clean and neither overly lit nor too dark. read more

Trying to squeeze in a last minute massage with my family and they were able to take 3 of us with less than 24 hrs notice and a tight time frame, before heading home. Everyone was very welcoming. My masseuse was amazing making adaptations when needed, and the post-massage Ginger tea was incredible! I couldn't convince them to share their source, so I'd come back just for that. The next time I'm in Vancouver, I will definitely schedule an appointment!! read more

Relaxed. Revitalized. Wonderful experience here. My husband and I got a couples massage gift certificate from our boys this past Christmas. It was one of the best we had ever. Lily and Mia were our masseuse and they were very professional and mindful. I usually come out of massages regretting why I even do it because I feel like I'm bruised all over the next day from the constant kneading. But this is totally different. Place is clean and smells of aroma oils. This alone relaxed me right when I walked in. I highly recommend this place. read more

Amazing. I don't know what else to say it's just Amazing. Very nice setup and the masseuse knows what he is doing.

This is the absolute best place to get a traditional Thai massage. I always recccomend Smile Thai Wellness to my friends. The space itself is serene and makes you forget you're in downtown Vancouver. The folks giving the massage are strong, which I prefer. They have a relaxation space at the end of the treatment with cozy sofas and chairs. They have complimentary tea available as well. I would go for the buy 5 massages and get 1 free. read more

Enjoyed a relaxing massage with my partner. Our massage therapists (not RMT) were friendly and had amazing strength and pressure. After the massage we got to re-energize with some ginger or peppermint tea. It was a lovely experience. read more

If you love Thai massages, this is the best one in the city imo. It's conveniently located and the spa itself is beautiful. Their prices are fair and the practitioners are kind, warm, welcoming and highly skilled. They work out pops and cracks I never knew were there. The massage "uniforms" they give you to wear for your session are always clean, soft and comfy, same with the sandals. They also have a beautiful and relaxing lounge with a selection of teas to rest after your massage. They have solo and couples rooms as well, and have always been receptive to requests as far as more or less pressure, in my experience. I've brought several friends here and they've quickly become dedicated lovers of the Thai yoga massage. I believe they also have an option for western style massage but I've never tried it because I'm so obsessed with their Thai massage. If I could give them more than 5 stars I definitely would. read more

The whole lock down and working from home took a toll on me and I desperately need a good massage. But getting massage during this time worried me a bit. After checking with several place, I found Smile Thai Wellness. They seem to be very careful as checking every customer's temporature before entering. Everyone has to wear mask the whole time. Set that aside, the massage itself is a great introduction for me to Thai's massage. During the massage they keep checking if the pressure is good or if you wanna adjust. All in all I would definitely come back. read more

We did a couples orchid package and oh my goodness it was incredible. Foot soak and scrub, looong and luxurious massage, reflexology, and a facial. The massage was the best I've had. Clean, calming environment with strong, polite staff. Would 10/10 come back. read more

My partner and I had an incredible experience at this spa! I've got massages before, but this is my first time trying the Thai massage. They provide a cotton top and a bottom for your Thai massage. Siri was my masseuse, her expertise in acupressure helped ease my tight neck and shoulder muscles. The stretching techniques of the therapy improved my range of motion. My partner was relaxed after getting a deep tissue massage with Chia. What stood out for me is they serve tea and let you relax in the palm room after the massages. It is a perfect moment to soak in the benefits of the treatments with hydration and feel your body centering and aligning. One another thing is the traditional decor of the spa is charming and sets the mood for relaxation and bliss. The massage room and bed were comforting and pristine. I shall come back here again when I visit Vancouver next time. read more

Excellent massage by Lillian! I was gifted the Smile Signature Jasmine experience and was most impressed. I've only had massages from RMTs before and this was one of the best massages I've ever had. Lillian was most intuitive and proficient. Lovely, relaxing, and soothing ambience. Highly recommend! read more

Highly recommend !! I booked here for my bf's birthday and it was no trouble at all. I originally emailed the spa and they responded fairly quickly. Since I needed to make a reservation and wasn't going to be there until 2 weeks later, I decided to book online through their website. It did require an additional step but 100% worth it. In order to book online, you would have to purchase a gift card for the specific massage / spa service and then email them with the gift card certificate. All you have to do is wait for them to process it and a confirmation email will be sent and you're pretty much all set. We arrived 15 minutes earlier to ensure we weren't late and they sat us down with some ginger tea and forms to fill out. After about 5 minutes, we were escorted to the washrooms and then our rooms. The room itself had a shower room so it's very private. I had the Signature Lotus Package which consisted of body scrub, full body massage and facial for about 3.5 hours. It was amazing ! After we were done, we were escorted to the lounge area where you can relax and enjoy some tea and fruit platter. Highly recommend ! read more

My boyfriend said the Thai massage changed his life. In my opinion, it was like an assisted stretch session, but I don't mind that (though I didn't enjoy it as much as my boyfriend). The massage therapists were really sweet. You also wear this cool, comfy outfit! It was definitely the highlight of our Vancouver trip. The tea after the massage was really nice. read more

Absolutely phenomenal massages at Smile Thai Wellness! My hubby and I are in town visiting family and we always book massages on our vacation. And this one certainly put us in vacation mode. We got a 2 hour Thai massage, my masseuse was Cili and forgive me but I forgot the masseuse that worked on my hubby (she was Japanese though!) They were both amazing!! We got a couple's room with two massage tables and it was really nice an air conditioned inside along with a fan and a beautiful screen that had a beach & ocean scene projected onto it, which felt like we were transported to a tropical island. I indicated on the form the areas that I wanted her to focus on (shoulders, IT band, glutes) and boy did Cili deliver! It hurt so good and was just what I needed. Her pressure was on point and firm and she was able to hit all the points accurately. If I may say so, this was one of the best Thai massages I've gotten to date. We will definitely be back! read more

What a wonderful massage place downtown! I've been here about 5 times now, and each time was a wonderful, relaxing, feel-good experience that left me feeling recharged. I came here to help relieve the chronic tension knots in my upper back, and I found out that apparently my entire body was kind of tense lol. Every point my masseuse touched hurt in a really good way. I do not know how she is able to gather so much strength being such a little person! On my third visit, I overheard another cashier offer a client a package of 5 so I bought the same package to use in the future. I just wish someone had offered me the package during my first two visits! I have another massage scheduled in a couple of days. I cannot wait! read more

Extremely comfortable and relaxing environment. I scheduled a couples message for 9/24 for our 16th wedding anniversary. They are strict for covid protocol which is reassuring. We scheduled an appointment via online by requesting the time frame. They quickly responded with their availability and i was able to call and reserve the slot. The price for a 1.5 hr couples massage was about $216 USD which is insanely good. The message therapists were also very good and gave me just enough pressure to be comfortable. If you are looking for a great Thai massage, or any message for that matter, I'd highly recommend you give this place a try. We are already looking forward to our next weekend trip so we can schedule another message. read more

The place is also so nice and well maintained. The reception and interior is so nice. I had a nice massage.

After seeing all the great reviews on Yelp and TripAdvisor, I decided to try going for an RMT massage here. Booking was easy enough. All the available appointments are listed online and you can just call to book. Upon arrival, you fill out a short intake form and indicate the areas you'd like to focus on. There is a small waiting room with water for you to sit in. Then, the masseuse comes to get you and brings you to the treatment rooms. You have to remove your shoes and wear their slippers into the treatment areas. I noticed the intricate Thai decor which made the ambiance really nice. Once in the treatment room, you can discuss your problem areas in detail a bit more. Then the masseuse leaves you to undress, and you climb on the bed. The room was very clean and I liked how the bed was prewarmed. For $110, I got 60 minutes of RMT treatment. I asked for upper body only as my problem areas were mostly the shoulder and back. The pressure was good, and the masseuse I had said I could always ask for more or less. After the treatment, I was brought to the relaxation lounge where a mint tea awaited me. There aren't any other facilities to enjoy, so shortly after, I went to the lobby to pay. Once I got home, I must say that I didn't feel much of a difference. I felt just as tense as before. The massage felt good at the time; however, I guess the treatment didn't penetrate deeply enough even after 60 minutes. Overall, the experience was not bad and I had no issues claiming with my extended health benefits. But for the same price, I preferred my experience at Absolute Spa at Hotel Vancouver as they had more facilities to enjoy. I'm glad I tried it once, but I think once is enough! read more

I've reached the fortunate age where I seem to be capable of giving myself full-body soreness while just sitting on a plane. The soreness lasted 2 days until I decided it was time to do something. I had gotten a great massage from Smile Thai Wellness about 2 years ago, so I gave them a call and was able to schedule a massage with Siri for the next evening. Initially, I was a little anxious before calling out of concern for COVID. However, that was quickly resolved as I was told both staff and clients were required to wear masks. To say my massage experience with Siri was amazing would be a disservice to her. It was quite simply the best massage I've ever had! She was able to knead out all of the lumps and bumps which were, let's be honest, almost everywhere. I asked for medium pressure and it was just perfect. I left feeling like I was floating on clouds and slept better than I had in a LONG time. I was sore the next day but after that passed I was feeling great! So thankful for Siri and for Smile Thai Wellness. read more

A wonderful secret spot in downtown Vancouver! I have been here twice now and had great experiences both times. The spa seems low-key and a bit hidden away upstairs off the street, but once inside it's like stepping into another world. It's beautifully decorated and the ambiance is welcoming, cozy, and warm. The staff is very friendly, helpful and efficient. I also like that it is easy to book online. I don't usually have to book too far ahead either, which I appreciate. The massage therapists and reflexologists are fantastic - very skilled and strong. All the services I have had have a Thai flair (including the reflexology), if not fully traditional. The prices are very reasonable, on the cheaper end of spa prices, but the quality of the services is equal to anywhere else I have been. It might be a little bit noisy in the rooms at times (thin walls), but nothing too distracting. They always have relaxing music playing in any case. I would definitely recommend Smile Thai Wellness. read more

After 3 days of snowboarding at Whistler, this was the best treatment that I could experience. I requested a Thai massage and the masseuse helped me recover from sore muscles, tightness, and pain. She hit the pressure points, muscle knots, and stiff areas of my body. I felt refreshed and ready to walk for miles for the rest of the day! Smile Wellness practices very safe and clean operations. The Thai cultural decor is tasteful and relaxing. They make you wear a Thai pajama so they don't touch your skin. You wear a mask the whole time. This is especially safer during the Covid19 times that we live in. I will definitely return after my next trip to Whistler. I recommend this place! read more

If I revisit Vancouver, this will be the first place I book an appointment! I had a 60 minute Thai massage with Linee and it was definitely worth taking the time to write this review. I told her my problematic areas after my hiking trip and she rubbed, pulled, and pushed my body back into perfection! It was so wonderful and relaxing. I usually book massages when I travel but this is the first time I find a spot worthy of a review. When you finish your massage, there's a relaxing room you enter where peppermint or ginger tea is offered. That was a nice finishing touch. Book now for relief! read more

This place is pretty outstanding. I went four years ago on vacation and was introduced to Thai massage. I fell in love. I then tried to find its duplicate in the area of my hometown and nothing at all even came close. Before my husband and I came to Vancouver for a getaway, I easily booked a 60 minute Thai Massage online. It was so convenient to be able to book my massage on a booking site and then have someone email me confirmation. I did not have to make one phone call, which is very cool in my book. Any time I had questions, I got a prompt email reply. When I got to Smile Thai, I was impressed by their ambiance and decor. It smelled great and had a calm atmosphere. The receptionist who checked me in was friendly. I waited just a short moment before my therapist "B" came and got me. She was pretty straight to the point in her interactions and had very minimal words to me. She just needed to know the essentials, which was perfect for me. I'm so glad that I didn't have the pressure to make small talk during the massage. B was extremely competent and the massage was exceptional. Her movements were smooth and she clearly knew what she was doing. She even loosened me up really good at the end. I got tea after the massage, and the check out process was flawless. I will definitely make it a point to come back, and book a longer massage next time! read more

OMG! After traveling for the past 4 days, I was not feeling well this morning from so much pain. All I can say is thank you to Hilary for a fantastic massage! It's been years since I have felt this energized after a massage. This is coming from someone who has a massage sometimes twice a week back home. I have chronic pain everyday, especially in my neck, but Hilary got rid of every bit of pain. Thai massage is the real deal and Hilary knows the body and how to get the knots out. The spa was clean, peaceful, and the staff were professional. I wish I lived here!!! This is the place to go for massage. read more
