Relax and Sip Tea at the Tea House Spa

Absolutely beautiful entrance, you feel as if you’re in a completely different location. Staff is helpful. The private rooms are serene, there’s light music playing in the background and it’s very relaxing. The sauna and shower inside are also pleasant. My only complaint is that the actual hot tub is pretty worn out. You can see the rust and scratches on the inside and sides of the tub. Which makes me question the overall sanitation of the water.

My gf booked the gemini package for the two of us ($295). The entrance to the spa was decorated very beautifully with lots of plants and bamboo. The service was great and gave me a larger size slipper after the first didn’t fit (the xxl slippers didn’t fit either, but I have size 13 feet). The spa seemed like it needed replacement, a few stains around high contact areas, and jets that lacked power. The tea that was served was great, I would recommend the iced tea, as hot tea doesn’t do much after an hour in the sauna/spa. The sauna was small but ample enough for 2 adults. No real complaints about it. The massage after (50 min) felt a little short, but what massage doesn’t? My masseuse asked if I had any problem areas and gave extra attention to those areas. The massage bed was heated which was incredibly relaxing. Overall $295 seems a little steep for the service, but it is santa cruz.

One of quite unique places for couples to relax and enjoy me time. The environment is completely secluded and private for couples. The massage and the tub together and the steam shower are priceless. Would love to revisit.

My wife and I love going to the Teahouse Spa. We usually get the Gemini package, which is time in the spa and a couple's massage. The massages are in two separate rooms, so after you soak in the spa, you put on a robe and slippers they provide and walk down the hall to meet your masseuse. It is a very fun time, and they give you a tea pot with different teas you can choose from. The only downside is that the spa is located in downtown Santa Cruz, so if you are relaxing closer towards the evening (which I recommend, because the garden is lit by tealights), you will hear people and the surrounding nightlife. As well, the first time my wife and I visited, we did a 7pm spa session, and we spotted two raccoons drinking from the garden ponds, and were worried that they were going to climb up into the spa with us.

My husband and I booked the Room One package, and I’m so thankful that we did. It was our first time getting a couple massage. We have gotten massages done before, but never together. The CMTs were so kind and empathetic. They gave relaxing massages and respected our pain tolerances. They were also very considerate and accommodating to our needs. The water spa felt amazing as well, especially with the beautiful garden view, and the steam room hit the spot for sure as well! We ordered a cold hibiscus tea, which was very refreshing on the warm day that we went to Tea House Spa. Thank you for such a rejuvenating experience. My husband and I left the spa feeling very relaxed!
