Pesky knots and achy-bodies overstaying their welcome? Not in our town, they’re not! Parnell is dotted with otherworldly massage destinations, including two spots recommended by Urban List—so you’re never far from a pair of healing hands.
A real urban retreat, HANA’s industrial chic yet tranquil space in Parnell is the go-to for Infrared saunas and contrast therapy for Aucklanders in the know. Lesser known, however, is HANA’s massage therapy offerings, which are bookable in 30, 60 or 90 minute sessions.
Combine this with a moment in their light pod—a session designed to kickstart your cells into producing more energy—and you’ll hit the perfect balance of restored and reinvigorated. That’s cloud nine to us.
Ever thought a beer and a massage couldn’t go hand-in-hand? Think again. At Massage Eden, you’ll find what might just be the best massage add-on in Auckland: Balinese Beer, where yeast from beer is added to the massage experience, to cleanse your body of toxins and purify your pores as it goes.
You’ll also find all kinds of cures for achy muscles and overworked bodies, from quick half-hour fixes right through to three-hour massage marathons. Or rev the relaxation up with the illusive four-handed massages to tackle the pain and pinches that one set of hands just simply can’t. Pure bliss.
Parnell's hidden gems
Parnell’s health and wellness scene also contains an array of hidden gems when it comes to massages.
Pamper yourself with a spa day at Endota, Ayurda, Nakhon Thai Massage, Release & Unwind Therapeutic Massage, The Beauty Loft, or Therapeia for holistic relaxation.
If you need something a little more focused to treat an injury or persistant pain, book an appointment at Top Notch Bodyworks, PhysioAction, Parnell Physiotherapy Clinic, Auckland Physiotherapy, Be Physio, Mark Fewtrell Massage Therapy, or Sports Physio NZ.
