I met Desmond at Yuan Spa for the first time today, and I had such a great experience. Desmond is incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain what might be causing my discomfort and how I can prevent it from happening again. I really appreciated all of his advice. His massage technique was excellent. He focused on exactly the areas that needed attention, and I left feeling so much more relaxed. It truly felt like he understood my concerns and knew how to address them. On top of that, Desmond is such a sweet and caring person. He made me feel comfortable throughout the entire session and genuinely wanted to help. I highly recommend Desmond to anyone looking for an outstanding massage therapist. I'll definitely be booking with him again! read more

Yuan Spa - Bellevue - Day Spas Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Booked a massage and hydrotherapy, pretty easy to book online or call in (required for a couples massage). Easily accessible, few blocks away from Bellevue Square and even walkable from the new 2 line link. Parking is available in their small garage but only for 3 hours (validated online with a code Yuan Spa provides). Otherwise there's street parking. Arriving early is a plus to use the washroom or relax in their lounge area with snacks (wasabi peas, banana chips, and honey pretzel sticks) and hot tea. Shoutout to Jessica and Emma for our massages. They were extremely comforting and the hour flew by insanely quick. Hydrotherapy is self guided between a hot pool, cool pool, steam room, and dry sauna. All are soothing but many gyms have these as well, so I'm torn whether it's worth it. However, definitely a nice supplement to other services here in the same location, which is a fair argument. One thing I hate is the check out process. After checking out, they'll ask if "you'd like to add a gratuity" which I always feel is just a darker practice in the social moment. A good massage deserves a tip for quality service, but hydrotherapy feels like an interesting gray area. However, it's easier to just give a percentage on the total amount. On the flip side, I love how they also provide up to 30 minutes buffer after hydrotherapy (maybe also other services, but we ended on hydro) to shower and leave. Passing that half hour mark would result in a charge rounded up to the next hour. read more

Yuan Spa - Bellevue - Locker Room (+Amenities) - Day Spas Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Came here for my annual facial as a treat to myself and got Chau as my facialist. As soon as she called my name she was up literally next to me and grabbing my arm and touching my back to direct me. She walked side by side the whole time while she directed me to the restroom all the while touching my arm regularly. I've never met her so a little space would be nice. I thought the signature facial would be the same no matter who did it but alas Chau's version was not what I'm used to. There was no steaming, and a lot more face and décolleté massage. I'm used to facials where there was product after product applied. This was definitely heavy on just the massage part. There was no introduction to the products used or what to expect either. At one point a stinging, smelly fermented product was applied that made my nose and eyes sting. A warning would be appreciated or even an option to omit since the product smelled rancid like old yeast. She was also pretty hasty with application of product and I think some product got into my eye as my eyes were irritated afterwards. The massage was also pretty strong (so not as relaxing) and she used a device to apply product that felt like it had a sharp edge that had me tense the whole time that she'd nick something. Usually after a facial at Yuan my face is feeling light but I didn't have the same lightness this time. Even when I was walking out her hand was on my arm touching me. If you're going for a facial I would not recommend Chau. read more

Avoid this spa! They never make things right when they mess up, and it feels like they have an attitude that cheating customers is okay. At these prices, I want to go to a spa that is focused on creating a luxurious experience for their customers, not Yuan Spa that is constantly cutting amenities and fighting with customers when Yuan Spa is in the wrong. (Their customer service is terrible! Never, ever get a membership!) It feels like so many of their great massage therapist have left, and I don't blame them. This place is so poorly run, and if they're being this cheap with customers, I imagine it's the same for their therapists. Years ago, they were great, but they've cut all the things that made them special--no more hydrotherapy free with your massage, no relaxation room, no spa robe, etc. It's just a super overpriced, standard massage. If I didn't have a gift card to use up, I'd never go back. read more

I get my monthly massage from Desmond at Yuan Spa, and he is absolutely amazing. I deal with chronic neck and shoulder pain, and he always knows exactly where to focus and how to relieve the tension. I always leave feeling so much better. Definitely a 10/10, highly recommend Him. read more

My partner and I have been members of Yuan Spa for years, and we both truly enjoy it. We love adding hydrotherapy before our massages -- it's the perfect way to fully relax and unwind. I usually book with Desmond, who is kind, welcoming, and very experienced. His massages have helped me significantly with my mobility issues and have supported my recovery after an accident. I always leave feeling better than when I arrived. Highly recommend Yuan Spa, and especially Desmond! read more

My husband surprised me with a 90 minute massage at Yuan Spa in Bellevue, for my birthday. I had always wanted to try this place out and it was even better than I imagined that it would be. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted and if it's your first time there, staff will assist you if you are undecided in what you want. Yuan Spa has fresh refreshments when you enter and lots of little things to look at and you can buy any of it, if you would like to add it to your massage or whatever service that you are getting done at the time. The massage was amazing and I was highly impressed with Yuan Spa. Will definitely be back! I recommend you try them out also! read more

This was my first time visiting the Bellevue location! I received a deep tissue massage which was fantastic, and then did a hydrotherapy session. I was surprised how much I liked this location as I previously only went to the Kirkland location prior. I absolutely loved the dim lighting and dark, woody colors within the hydrotherapy room. The hot tub was also deliciously hot, more so than the Kirkland location which I was ecstatic about. Oddly enough though the sauna wasn't hot at all? I had to stand really closely to the stones in order to get some heat. I'm hoping it was just a one time snafu. Overall, I definitely will be back! read more

I visited Yuan spa for a massage today! My masseuse Desmond was really great. As an athlete in a past, I still struggle with a presence of my old traumas in my life. Desmond helped me to release the trigger points and reset my pain. The atmosphere in is great! Thank you. read more

Yuan keeps me sane in this hectic world. :) After years of enjoying the occasional, blissful escape of an hour-long hydrotherapy circuit, I realized I needed to make it a monthly self-care commitment. The membership gives me a great deal on coming once a month with a good friend, plus alternating between treatments from my two favorite specialists. Desmond is a wizard when it comes to unlocking tension and soothing knots. Admittedly, sometimes the deep-tissue work can be slightly painful--but I ALWAYS benefit for weeks afterwards. So I go back again and again and again for his miraculous help. I've never before had a bodywork provider who could relieve my chronic tailbone pain, plus uncover and alleviate countless other aches. I also appreciate how Desmond explains the muscular and skeletal connections, and advises me on how I can best care for my body between sessions. Taylor is a queen when it comes to treating my skin during her intensive and uber-relaxing facials. She always provides thoughtful recommendations for treatments to help my issues, then goes through each step with soothing movements. It's a major bonus to receive her equally pro massages while masks and serums soak in. I feel really at peace at Yuan because of all the amenities and consistently stellar staff. Thank you, team!!! read more

Yuan Spa - Bellevue - Membership details (April 2025) - Day Spas Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

I received a gift card to this spa for my birthday, and I had the best experience! I went to the spa prior to my facial treatment to experience the hydrotherapy circuit, and it was perfect on a Thursday afternoon--quiet, calm, and smelled sooo good. I did a couple rounds of the hydrotherapy (probably quicker than I was supposed to, but omg cold plunges are COLD!), and then had a great facial (I can't remember my facialist but she was delightful and I was glowing for days afterwards!). The only downside is that they are an electronics-free facility, which I wish I would've known before the day of--fully supportive, but I didn't bring a book and was by myself for the entirety of the hydrotherapy so I didn't have anything to read! Definitely my bad, but just giving you a heads up now to bring your physical book, no e-readers [if they have a camera] or phones! read more

Yuan Spa is pure magic--I feel about it the way kids feel about Disneyland! I first came here for hydrotherapy (since massages were booked) and was blown away. Hot and cool tubs, steam and dry saunas, icy showers, and a cozy relaxation room--I left feeling more relaxed than I had in over a year. On my second visit, I brought a friend for massages and hydrotherapy. Vinny and Jake gave us incredible massages, and once again, the hydrotherapy was heavenly. Anthony at the front desk is so incredibly welcoming and kind I absolutely love him!! This place is worth every penny and then some. Beautiful space, wonderful staff, impeccably clean and an experience unlike anywhere else. I can't wait to come back! Anthony you and Vinny are my hero's!!!! read more

Highly recommend Evan for a deep tissue massage. He is very skilled and knowledgeable and really took the time to ask and address my problem areas. I keep going back to him. read more

I love coming here for hydrotherapy after work to unwind. I seem to always find availability online and the staff is so polite. I'm usually really picky about spas and cleanliness, but this place is spotless, which is surprising considering the number of people that come through the place. I love that people are very respectful of being quiet. An hour is more than enough, two is probably too much for me. read more

Yuan Spa - Bellevue - Locker - Day Spas Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

I went here for hydrotherapy and had a great experience! Checkin was quick and easy and I was happy that I was able to use their online booking. Upon arrival, I was given a tour and they had a locker pre stocked with a towel, robe, and shoes for me to wear in the spa room. I came from yoga and my yoga mat fit in the locker. The hydrotherapy area is nice, but I do prefer the one in Kirkland. This one is dark and serene and has two saunas, a cold shower, and two pools. I wish the cold plunge were colder- it was the temp of a swimming pool. They say to keep your voices down in hydrotherapy, but everyone there was with friends and talking at full volume, which wasn't too relaxing but I wasn't bothered enough to complain. I wish they would have offered more towels! My towel was pretty wet after hydrotherapy and I wanted to shower off after, but really could have used a fresh towel. This was odd to me. I would come back to hydrotherapy if I booked a service and got the discounted rate. read more

Edit: Updated to 3 stars because I called their office and they refunded me for hydrotherapy after this experience. I appreciate that a lot. Do not come here for hydrotherapy if you are looking for a quiet and relaxing place. The staff does not enforce quiet rules and lots of women come here to chat loudly with their friends. I don't understand the lack of common courtesy and lack of enforcing the rules when the words "quiet" are plastered everywhere. The facility was clean but there is only one sauna one hot pool one cold pool and a steam room. I left feeling more stressed than I came. read more

We got a gift of a couples' massage. It was... a lot of things, warm, comforting, relaxing, engaging. I felt I was in good hands, literally. I carried the feeling and mood with me for some time afterward. read more

I haven't written a review for a spa in a long time. I got my facial yesterday with CC and she did amazing work! My skin is super picky. I left there with so much knowledge and skin glowing! CC is the best I've seen in a long time! If you are in need of a facial please book with CC she will not disappoint. My business partner goes to her as well and we both love her! Salon is super clean, I love how professional and on time everyone is here. I recommend getting the membership. (20% off on all your products and great deal) I Highly recommend this place! 10/10 read more

Waiting to use up all my credits and cancel membership To many ppl talking during hydrotherapy Wasting time and money I've left a couple things slide Up to someone leaving their tampon in the shower But I'm sure there are better places out there with better services read more

I've been a member with Yuan Spa for several years and have generally been very satisfied with their service. The massage therapist I had today was good as well, and I appreciate her professionalism - this star is a credit to her. However, I had a very disappointing experience this time. I specifically asked for a massage using CBD oil, but halfway through, the therapist noticed that the scent didn't seem right -- it turned out that the bottles were mislabeled. The one labeled as "CBD oil" was actually fat burning elasticizing oil, so she unknowingly used the wrong product, which was not her fault. When I checked out, I discovered that I was double charged -- once for the CBD oil and once for the elasticizing oil -- even though it was their mistake. When I brought this up at the front desk, they insisted the charge was correct because both oils had been used on me. Though they agreed to refund the extra charge to me, I found their attitude dismissive and their handling of the situation unacceptable. As a long-time member, I'm very disappointed that they would charge a customer for a labeling mistake they made. I'm also fortunate that I haven't had any allergic reaction to the misused oil -- but what if another guest were allergic to it? That could have been serious. This experience really damaged my trust in their quality control and customer care. read more

The water circuit was fabulous. Just incredible. I came in for a girl's night with my mom, sister, and niece. We got set up with lockers, robes, sandals, and towels upon arrival and set up for the water circuit. The circuit goes like this: Hot pool Cold pool Salt scrub Steam room Cold drench shower Sauna Hot pool I was too much of a wimp to fully drench myself with the cold shower, and just sort of half assed in (literally), but I did the rest completely. They were all heavenly and so relaxing. This was especially good for my mom. My dad passed away two months ago and we've all been extremely sad, but no one more tense and stressed than her dealing with widowhood. She's been carrying physical pain and tension and really did say it melted away and felt lifted after the treatments. She's the reason I suggested this in the first place, so I'm so glad it did. Will definitely return. It was a lovely experience. Also, the price was really reasonable - $59 for an hour (which was enough time to do the full hydrotherapy circuit). read more

I've had nothing but great experiences. I've been coming here like clockwork every month for almost three years with a friend (and have brought friends and family over that time) it has contributed a lot to my health and reduced pain. Front desk are friendly, professional and very helpful! Of the massage therapists I've seen, Desmond most recently really helped me with my hip--I felt so much better after even just one session with him. Really precise work. Evan has been helping me with my neck for a while and Gary has one of the most interesting and effective styles is you like firm pressure. I have nice things to say about basically everyone (Tysley I've only seen once but VERY positive memories of that experience as well). I also got to do two facials here as well, both with Chau and she is a WIZARD. I was worried I'd be all red afterward with my sensitive skin but I looked and felt radiant! Hydrotherapy is always a wonderful time. This spa smells amazing, everything is clean and well maintained. My favorite is the beautiful steam room, eucalyptus steam, nice and dark with glittery lights that look like stars overhead. Its SO relaxing, although the dry heat sauna with a nice cool lemongrass towel on your face is no slouch. This is my go-to spa and I think I'll have very tough time finding somewhere similar in my next home. Super high quality service, absolutely worth the price, top tier relaxation. 5/4 stars! read more

My husband and myself received a gift card to go in for massages. It was suggested that we make sure we arrived at least 15 minutes early to make sure we were ready and had time to enjoy the relaxation area. We were excited to try this place out and arrived 30 minutes early. We were asked a few questions and guided to the waiting place. Minimal effort was put into this room. When it was 10 minutes past our time my husband got a text asking if we were on our way. The front desk had not actually signed us in. I asked and was assured that we would still get the full 60 minute massage. My husband was given his massage, but my masseuse decided to cut about 10 minutes off mine as I was "late" I feel cheated and after all that was told my massage would be at a discount. What good does that do when it doesn't leave enough for any service on the gift card. read more

I had my first ever massage with Dani, and it was amazing! I would definitely recommend the deep tissue massage and Dani as your massage therapist! read more

Signature Eminence Facial. Heavenly, magical experience. Much more than I was expecting.

It was a spectacular evening. I was taking care of a friend post operation and needed an evening where I could relax for a couple hours and get away. I called in the evening of, to see if there was any availability and openings. I needed a body treatment and the body scrub sounded sublime. I don't regret it. Unfortunately I forget the name of my lady who did a phenomenal job, but I assume, every person here is exceptional. Upon walking in, the ambience is welcoming and calming. I was greeted and filled out paperwork. Shortly after, I was taken into the room. I was surprised how big and spacious the spa was. There were a lot of elements to it. Once I got situated, the entire scrub was comfortable and soothing. It felt good. I was escorted afterwards to the waiting area. There I enjoyed tea and light snacks. I went into the steam room and got sauna. Both were incredible. The pool and jacuzzi area looked so nice but I had lotion on, post treatment, and didn't want to rinse it off. I look forward to returning here again! read more

Yuan Spa - Bellevue - Waiting area - Day Spas Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

The perfect place to go to relax. I highly recommend the Signature Massage with Vinny or Desmond, both are exceptional! Hydrotherapy prior to your massage is a wonderful way to relieve stress and tension through sauna, steam room, cold & hot relaxation pools. Convenient location, friendly staff and comfortable spa amenities. read more

My girlfriends arranged a bachelorette activity at Yuan Spa for me and we had such an amazing time! We had a group reservation for hydrotherapy from 10-11, followed by our own individual massage services. The hydrotherapy pools are spacious, the scent at this spa is AMAZING, and my favorite room was the eucalyptus steam room. After hydrotherapy we got to enjoy the relaxation room before being whisked away by our respective massage therapists. Desmond gave me an amazing Swedish massage and was a very holistic provider, asking me about any injuries or aches, and even giving me tips on opening up and stretching my muscles in the future. It was a lovely morning at Yuan Spa and I will definitely come back if I'm in the area! I'd recommend Desmond to anyone looking for a very precise Swedish massage from a very knowledgeable person! read more

I haven't done any individual services, but have been a couple of times for hydrotherapy. This place is awesome! I really like the quiet, reflective nature that they promote in the hydro spa. Lots of attention to detail in providing water, lemongrass cold towels for the sauna, and a world salt tray for the steam room. No cold plunge but there is a cold plunge shower! The relaxation room is also great for before/after your time in the spa. The locker rooms are also surprisingly nice for a spa, and i love the eucalyptus spray in the showers. I also really appreciate that they provide robes that fit larger bodies, as that isn't always the case elsewhere. My only real complaint is how tricky parking can be, but if you come 15-20 minutes early you can usually snag a spot in the small garage, or nearby street parking. Will be back many times! read more

What a great spot to relax. We hardly ever end up on the east side but when we do, we are headed here!

I'm basing this fully on the hydrotherapy session. I took a friend here for a birthday relaxation gift. We both loved it! The location is so clean and lovely. Just what a spa should be. The hydrotherapy was kinda fun. First you sit in the hot tub, cool tub, steam room with a salt scrub (my fav) I did it twice, cold drench shower and man was it cold right after the steam room, sauna and back into the hot tub. You can do whatever you want but the cool pool was actually really refreshing. They also had lemon water to keep you hydrated which was a bonus. Clean locker rooms and you can shower after. If I lived on the east side I would buy a monthly package. I added a picture of what is offered. Too bad! I suggest checking it out. I'll probably go back at some point. read more

My group and I were together in the pool room and an associate came out several times to scold us for being too loud. I understand it is a quiet room, but we were the only ones there, and the way she phrased it I thought was quite rude. Instead of asking us politely to keep it down, she treated us like children and told us, "Ladies, you need to be quiet!" It very much felt like we were being scolded. I found that very stressful when I was trying to relax. I was considering joining the monthly spa program, but I found that lady to be not conducive to a soothing spa experience. She could have delivered the same message in a much more polite way. I don't plan on returning. read more

Had a couples massage. My wife ended up with a sore back, and my massage was very basic. I asked my therapist to focus on lower back but she did not provide any more attention there than any other massage I've had. For the money I expected much better. read more

I had an INCREDIBLE massage from Desmond over the weekend. He is truly a gem of a provider. I left feeling much relief and more aligned and in balance. Best massage I have ever had. Thank you , Desmond! read more

I have a health concern that makes me especially vulnerable to colds and the flu--if I catch something, I get seriously sick. I booked this massage hoping to get some rest and relief, but when I arrived, my therapist sounded like he might be sick. He did explain himself, and I won't go into detail out of respect for his privacy. I want to be clear despite this negative review on the spa: I felt very sorry. If he ever sees this, I hope he knows I truly felt bad for declining the service and how it might make him feel. It wasn't personal--it was for my own peace of mind and health. I have to err of the cautious side for my own wellbeing. What upset me was how the front desk and manager handled the situation. They insisted on charging me under the cancellation policy, even though I showed up and explained my concerns calmly and respectfully. I had taken time off work and driven all the way there--I didn't cancel last minute or fail to show up. I was put in an uncomfortable position and treated like I did something wrong, when in reality I was just looking out for my well-being. This isn't the first time I've declined a massage on-site. At another place years ago, I once found the sheets unclean with blood stain and chose not to proceed even after they promised to make it right. I just felt uncomfortable and wanted to walk away. They understood and let me walk away without charging me. That's how it should be treated. Instead, I was told I wouldn't be welcome back as a client because I refused the charge. If that's what they decide, so be it and I don't want to come back either. But I needed to say something here, because how this was handled was really unfair. read more

High quality services and amazing staff! I came here for a birthday celebration and I did a mani-pedi, hydrotherapy, and a triple infusion facial! The mani-pedi was delightful and professional, though I do wish there were more colors to choose from and I do think the prices are a bit high for the service. The hydrotherapy was great and my skin felt refreshed and rejuvenated! Though I do wish there were hair ties available. I loved the hydration facial - the staff was very knowledgeable and my skin glowed! Overall I love the calming, soothing vibes and will be back! read more

Received a gift card to this place. Used it for a deep tissue massage. Evan was fabulous. 10/10 recommend. If you are getting a 1 hour service and will use the hydro therapy 3 hour free parking in the garage next door is plenty. It gets busy. The locker room is small and tight. A much more intimate setting than the Olympus Spas in the area All the people giving less stars because the staff told them to be quiet are annoying. Just because others may not be in the hydrotherapy area doesn't mean they aren't getting a service in the rooms next door. read more

I had a massage today with Hunter. And it was the best massage I've ever had. I will definitely be back .

This has been my absolute go-to relaxation spot for hydrotherapy over the past several months. The staff at reception is always so friendly, the dressing rooms are clean, and the spa itself is wonderfully relaxing. I always have an amazing time releasing my stress here. The check-in process is quick and easy, and they provide robes, towels, and sandals. My only issue, and this isn't the spa's fault, is with other guests ignoring the signs about maintaining quiet and keeping it a relaxation zone. I've frequently encountered couples, groups, and gaggles of girls being loud and boisterous. It's a small room, so it echoes and disrupts the relaxing vibes. Despite the multitude of signs, some people just don't take the hint. Overall, it's a great experience, but it can be hit or miss if you're seeking a peaceful, quiet relaxation time. I only knock down one start so people will read, also take the hint, don't be loud if you go! read more
