Best Luxury Massages in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs
Venustus
A Beauty Editor favourite, Venustus is – in a word – divine. Located in leafy Paddington, this serene spa offers organic, tailored treatments to heal and restore the body. Its signature massages will have you floating away on a cloud. Along with muscle releasing and intuitive body massages, the four-hand and six-hand massages (yep, that’s three therapists working on you at once) are the ultimate indulgence.

Sol Spa
The Botanica Vaucluse was one of the most hotly-anticipated openings of ’18 – and with its locally sourced fare, greenery and millennial pink chairs, it lived up the hype. Its day spa, Sol Spa, is just as gorgeous. It has a full menu of massages for those who want to relax or have every knot kneaded out. We love the Signature De-Stress Therapy Massage, a 90-minute treatment that releases tension in the shoulders, neck and scalp.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Best Massages in the Eastern Suburbs
Yummy Mummy Day Spa in Clovelly is the standout for pregnancy massage in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs. The spa is dedicated to mums and mums-to-be, using pregnancy-safe products and tailored techniques to ease the aches and pains that come with pregnancy. Treatments can be extended with a foot and leg massage or an Indian head massage for extra relief. You don’t need to be pregnant or a parent to book, either. If you are expecting, it is worth checking with your GP or midwife first and letting your therapist know how far along you are.
Treera Thai Massage on Spring Street in Bondi Junction is a no-frills spot that specialises in traditional Thai massage. The treatment is fully clothed, with therapists using stretching, bending and firm, rhythmic pressure to release stress and tension through the body. It suits anyone who wants a more active style of massage than a standard relaxation treatment. If Thai massage is not for you, Treera also offers reflexology, aromatherapy and deep tissue massage, making it a flexible option whether you want to stretch out or simply switch off.
A four-hand massage is a treatment where two therapists work on you at the same time, moving in sync so your whole body is treated at once. Many people find it more immersive than a single-therapist massage, because pressure is applied in several places together rather than one area at a time. In Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, Venustus in Paddington offers both four-hand and six-hand massages, the latter using three therapists at once. It is the most indulgent option in the area and well suited to a special occasion or a gift.
Karparti Skin Clinic in Double Bay is the pick for a short treatment that fits into a working day. While the clinic is best known for skincare, it offers a 30-minute back, neck and shoulder massage that targets the areas that tend to tighten up after long hours at a desk. A hand massage is also on the menu. Booking ahead is the easiest way to secure a lunchtime slot. For a longer session, Bondi Massage in Bondi Junction offers relaxation, remedial and sports massage close to the shopping precinct.
Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs cover almost every massage style. Bondi Massage in Bondi Junction offers relaxation, remedial, sports and hot stone massage alongside reflexology and cupping.

For a longer session focused on the shoulders, neck and scalp, Sol Spa in Vaucluse offers a 90-minute Signature De-Stress Therapy Massage.
