Best Budapest Spa Massages
When choosing between massage packages, also make sure you check the locations, treatments, and extras such as thermal bath access or private tubs for couples.
Mandala Day Spa Massage
Mandalay Day Spa is a modern facility with an exotic, spiritual theme, which sets the scene for an ideal relaxing treatment. There are three massage treatments to pick from, and on top of that, you get +4 hours access to the baths

The location is one-of-a-kind, and what’s more, this pass also gives you a whole day access to the thermal baths, which is very good value for money. The Margaret Island Spa Day sells out quickly, and what’s more they don’t do massages on Saturdays or Sundays. The facility has 11 massage rooms, as well as a hydromassage room, a salt cave, electrotherapy rooms, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, and a thermal pool.
In addition to the massage, you also get a 20 minute aromatherapy bath, and towels. You will, however, have to bring flip flops, and while you don’t get snacks or drinks with the package, you can get these in the hotel.

Spartisan Immersive Sauna and Spa
While not a massage per se, Spartisan has guided wellness rituals that use steam, heat, and visual effects to enhance relaxation.
- Scheduled time slots: 11:00, 13:00, 15:00, 17:00, 19:00

- Provider: Spartisan
- Location: 1033 Budapest, Budapest, Szentendrei Street 9
- Phone: +36 30 758 1944
- Email: natalia@bbgroup.hu
Spartisan is a 5D effects spa centre, the first of its kind, and its purpose is to reinvent bath culture and treatments with innovative technology and a narrative-driven experience. This is really a blast on the senses, as you walk through the carefully designed scenarios. The Solo Flow is a self-guided journey, where you move at your own pace, taking in the experiences.
It is recommended to pick one of the guided packages, where you are led by a sauna master. The Relax Ritual follows a nature theme, with mimicked forests, waterfalls, and breezes – the “breath of the forest”. The Energy Ritual is more energetic, crafted in a Viking theme, where you journey through Northern storms, more intense heat and driving music.
Budapest Day Spa
A lesser-known spa, FD-Day Spa offers a fairly priced massage, and you can choose when you get there between relaxation, Swedish, or deep tissue, depending on what you need.
- Duration: Every 30 minutes from 09:00 to 19:30
- Duration: 60 minutes
- Ticket prices: €96
- Massage: Relaxation, Swedish or Deep Tissue
- Extras: Warm foot compress, sound bath, Palo Santo cleansing ritual
- Provider: FD - Fashion & Day Spa
- Location: 1085, Budapest, Üllői Street 14
- Phone: +36 20 399 3393
- Email: info@fashiondiffusionhungary.com
It is recommended to come 15 minutes before your time slot, and you don’t need to worry about bringing any towels, these are supplied alongside spa essentials. You can choose between the Relaxation, Swedish or Deep Tissue massages. Your treatment starts with the Palo Santo ritual, and then a warm feet compress. Then, the 1 hour massage, followed by a sound bath to complete the experience.
The only issue with this experience is that it doesn’t actually take place in a proper spa. The Budapest Day Spa is a small venue with no swimming pools, it only has 2 saunas. So you are really going just for the massage, but if that’s all you are after, then this is your best bet in value for money.
Mandala Day Spa Couples Massage
The Swedish massage for couples is an example of a strong romantic gesture. The ambient lighting throughout the baths instantly gives you the feeling that you have arrived for a kingly treatment.
- Scheduled time slots: 10:00 - 20:00 every day
- Duration: 90 minutes
- Ticket prices: €290
- Massage: Swedish
- Extras: 20 minutes private jacuzzi and 4 hour bath entry
- Provider: Mandala Day Spa
- Location: 1133 Budapest, Ipoly utca 8.
- Phone: +36 1 491 0079
- Email: reservation@mandaladayspa.hu
This package features a 60 minute Swedish massage for couples, in side by side massage beds. It is perhaps the best choice massage for couples, as it isn’t painful, boosts endorphins, and relieves muscle tension. Beyond the massage, you also get 20 minutes in a private jacuzzi, and 4 more hours to spend around the rest of the amenities at Mandala Day Spa.
Budapest Day Spa Couples Massage
What beats a couples massage with a rose petal lined bath and champagne? This experience rolls out the red carpet for couples.

- Duration: 2.5 hours

The programme starts with a Palo Santo smoke to clean the body, followed by a 60 minute massage, in a booth scented with rose oil. After this, a 15 minute tea break to absorb the treatment, and in which time your private relaxation room will be prepared. It is worth the wait, as you enter to a candlelit room with whirlpool bath, surrounded by red rose petals. To top it off, you get two glasses of champagne (or a non alcoholic drink), and you have 90 minutes to spend in the bath.
