Tranquilitea is a calm massage, sauna and tea lounge in the town centre of Whitianga, at 6/62 Albert Street. Its massage draws on Swedish, Balinese, Javanese and Lomi Lomi techniques, and the website says each session is adapted during the treatment. The sessions include a one-hour focus on the back, neck and shoulders, and an extended full-body massage for deeper relaxation. There is also a private infrared sauna, which the website says heats the muscles to ease tension, and facials that use Hemp Alchemy NZ products, made in small batches in Whitianga. The one-hour session includes access to the relaxation lounge and a herbal tea.
Massage is given by Alyese, who the website describes as a qualified massage therapist with six years of hands-on experience. Bookings are made online through the business's website. Two other beauty salons are within a kilometre: Ataahua Beauty Room, 0.1 km away, is rated 5.0 from 32 reviews, and Blue Door Therapy is 0.3 km away. Our pick in Whitianga for a relaxing massage followed by a sauna.
