A small Thai spa
on a Georgian high street

Tara Spa sits at 49 High Street in Yarm, on the cobbled stretch near the Town Hall. We are a small independent spa rather than a chain or a franchise, and everything about how we work follows from that. There is no membership scheme, no upselling while you are face down on the bed, and no menu padded out with treatments nobody here specialises in.

What we do specialise in is Traditional Thai Massage. Our skilled therapists combine firm muscle work with more assisted stretching. A firm, invigorating hour that sits close to deep tissue, with lots more assisted stretching to free up the hips, back and shoulders. Oil is optional, just let us know how you like it. Once you are warmed up, your therapist begins at the legs with steady pressure and stretches that leave you standing taller and feeling more flexible. A gentle head massage finishes things off beautifully. Brilliant if you feel stiff from sitting, driving or training and want to move freely again.

Around that core we offer the treatments that complement it: hot stone, aromatherapy, deep tissue, hot oil, foot massage, and the 90 minute rituals that layer several disciplines into a single session. 34 treatments in total, all of them performed regularly by people who know them properly.

A word on the name, because guests find us under several. The spa is Tara Spa Yarm, and people variously call us Tara Spa, Tara Thai Spa, Tara Thai Massage, Tara Spa and Massage, or simply Tara. They all mean this 1 small spa at 49 High Street, Yarm TS15 9BH. We have no other branches and no sister salons, so if you were searching for Tara and landed here, you have found the right place. You can reach us on 07301 158604.
