What is Spa ?

The term “spa” refers to a wide variety of wellness and beauty services — from small facial and massage studios to luxurious health retreats. The word originated from Ancient Greece and Rome, where natural hot springs were used for bathing, relaxation, and healing. These places were believed to improve physical and mental well-being. Today, spas have evolved into modern sanctuaries of relaxation and self-care, but their purpose remains the same — to rejuvenate the body, calm the mind, and restore balance.

Modern spas come in all forms: from simple one-room massage centers to full-fledged wellness resorts with Jacuzzis, saunas, and hydrotherapy facilities. Whether you’re visiting for an hour-long massage or a full-day package, spa services cater to every need and budget — relaxation, recovery, beauty, and holistic healing.


What Do You Do at the Spa?

At Real Therapy Spa in Kathmandu, we specialize in personalized, professional treatments designed to enhance your physical and emotional wellness. Our spa combines ancient Ayurvedic traditions with modern therapy techniques, offering a peaceful escape from the chaos of daily life.

Our signature massage treatments include:

  • Ayurvedic Full Body Massage – promotes relaxation, detox, and balance.
  • Deep Tissue Massage – relieves muscle tension and chronic pain.
  • Thai Massage – stretches and energizes the body through ancient Thai techniques.
  • Trekkers Massage – perfect for hikers recovering after long mountain adventures.
  • Foot Massage – improves blood flow, relieves fatigue, and promotes overall wellness.
  • Hot Stone Massage – uses warm stones to melt away stress and tension.

We also offer complete beauty and relaxation treatments such as facials, manicures, pedicures, and haircuts — helping you feel refreshed and confident inside and out.

At Real Therapy Spa, every session starts with understanding your needs — whether it’s physical pain, emotional stress, or a simple desire to unwind. Our goal is to create an experience that’s tailored just for you.


Sauna, Steam & Jacuzzi Experiences

Our spa also features relaxing dry and steam saunas that help detoxify the body, relieve tension, and improve circulation. The warmth soothes muscles and promotes deep relaxation — perfect before or after a massage session.

For an even more indulgent experience, try our Jacuzzi bath. Enjoy a bubbling soak in a private, temperature-controlled tub — with separate sections for men and women — designed to melt away stress and recharge your body.
