Secret Root Spa

The most amazing spa experience in my life till date. The place itself has a calming aesthetic vibe, me and wife we both did our deep tissue massage with Nadi, she was very professional and made us feel relaxed after the spa. The whole place is an experience.

The place has such a peaceful and calming vibe, surrounded by lots of greenery which really helps you relax the moment you walk in. The environment feels very refreshing and well-maintained. I went for a 60-minute foot massage, and it was honestly really good — super soothing and exactly what I needed. The staff were gentle and professional, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. Definitely a great spot if you’re looking to unwind and take a break.

Both myself and my girlfriend had a brilliant massage here - we were so well looked after and everything was so clean. I really would recommend coming here, it’s well worth a visit!

This was the worst spa experience of my life. We chose this place in Mirissa where there are countless spas everywhere, because of the many positive reviews on Google. The reception staff were racially discriminatory—they ignored non-white guests but were very welcoming to white customers. When we entered, he didn’t even invite us to have a seat. We were only given a cup of tea after our several repeated requests. The spa experience was terrible as well. We have tried Ayurvedic treatments in Nepal and the Maldives before, but the technique here was awful. The masseuse’s hands were full of rough calluses, which even caused pain while massaging my back. Throughout the session, we could feel they just wanted to finish their work as quickly as possible—there was no sense of being served or respected. In short, if you are white, you might have a good experience here. But if you are Asian or non-white, save your money and go somewhere better for a real treat.

To my own surprise, even though I am quite shy and very sensitive to touch, this turned out to be one of the best massage experiences I’ve ever had. On the first day my wife booked a 60-minute massage for me as a gift, but I initially refused because I felt a bit uncomfortable. After she had her own session and told me how wonderful it was, I decided to give it a try the next day. It was an amazing surprise: the massage was gentle, deeply relaxing and very professional — full body, and especially the neck, head and shoulders. At one point it felt as if there were four hands working on me because it was done so well. It was also my birthday, and after my wife mentioned it, the team surprised me with a birthday cake with “Happy Birthday” written on it. Such a small but truly touching gesture. I highly recommend this place even to people who are sensitive or ticklish like me. Special thanks to the therapist THUSITHA for such a truly memorable experience.
