12 Minutes From Town

Thai Massage near
Stockton-on-Tees

5 miles down the A135 and you are on Yarm High Street, in a warm Thai spa rather than a treatment room above a shop. Rated 5.0 from 80 Google reviews. Open 7 days.

Worth The Short Drive

Closer than most of Stockton realises

Yarm feels like a separate world from Stockton town centre, which is precisely why guests come here to switch off, but the distance is barely worth mentioning. It is roughly 5 miles. From the High Street you follow the A135 south through Eaglescliffe and cross the Tees, and you are parking up in Yarm within 12 minutes. From Thornaby or Ingleby it is quicker still.

What you get for that short drive is a genuine Thai spa rather than a beauty salon offering massage as a sideline. Our skilled therapists offer firm muscle work with more assisted stretching, working from warm treatment rooms on a cobbled Georgian high street. The public Google listing shows a 5.0 overall rating from 80 reviews.

Being on Yarm High Street also means you can make an afternoon of it. There is no shortage of independent cafes, pubs and restaurants within a 2 minute walk of our door, and a great many guests book a treatment and then stay for something to eat.

Getting Here

Finding us from Stockton-on-Tees

About 12 minutes, roughly 5 miles

Typical drive time

From Stockton High Street take the A135 south through Eaglescliffe, cross the River Tees at Yarm Bridge and continue onto Yarm High Street. We are at number 49, on the same cobbled stretch as the Town Hall. Yarm also has its own railway station a few minutes' walk from the High Street, and Eaglescliffe station is close by.

On-street parking on Yarm High Street is free for the 1st hour and £2 for 1 to 3 hours, Monday to Saturday, 9am to 5pm. For a 60 or 90 minute treatment the long stay car parks at West Street, The Old Market, Castle Dyke Wynd, Yarm Wharf and Yarm Station are £3.50 for the whole day. Parking is free after 5pm and all day Sunday, which makes evening appointments particularly easy.

What To Book

Popular choices with our Stockton guests

Traditional Thai Massage, 60 minutes, £50. 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.

Deep Tissue, 60 minutes, £50. Firm, focused pressure across areas of muscular tension, with intensity adjusted to your comfort.

Hot Stone, 60 minutes, £65. Smooth heated basalt stones and warm oil, glided through the muscles and rested where you hold tension, so the warmth sinks in and tightness melts away without heavy pressure. It is the most comforting hour you can give yourself when you feel tense but would rather have warmth than firm work. After a gentle warm up, the stones travel up from the legs, settling the back and shoulders, before your therapist finishes with a soft head massage by hand. You will feel warm right through, calm and wonderfully relaxed.

Deep Relief by Herbal, 90 minutes, £100. Our signature ritual, and the most complete treatment we offer. We begin by gently warming the whole body, then Thai massage works its way up from the legs, easing out the tightness you have been carrying for weeks. Warm herbal compresses follow, soft bundles of Thai herbs steamed and pressed into aching muscles, so a deep, comforting heat sinks in exactly where you need it. Beautifully scented aromatherapy oils carry you further into calm, before a slow, soothing head massage brings everything to a peaceful close. The strongest relief we can give in 1 visit, and the treatment our regulars keep coming back for.

The full menu with every price sits on our treatments page, and if you would rather describe the problem and be told what to book, ring 07301 158604.

Planning Your Visit

Practical notes before you set off

Book ahead rather than turning up. We are a small spa and walk-in availability depends entirely on whether a therapist happens to be free. Nobody wants to drive from Stockton to be turned away, so reserve online or call 1st.

Allow time for Yarm traffic. The High Street gets genuinely busy on market days, Friday and Saturday evenings, and during Yarm Fair in October. Add 10 minutes at those times.

Arrive 5 minutes before your appointment. That is enough to change and mention any areas of tension. Arriving late shortens your treatment rather than pushing it back, because a therapist usually has another guest booked after you.

Evenings are open until 8pm, Monday to Saturday. Sundays run 11am to 5pm. Combined with free parking after 5pm, an evening appointment is often the easiest option after work.

"Had an amazing experience here, the staff were so friendly and professional, the service was extremely high quality and the atmosphere was very relaxing. Opted for the £45 1 hour hot oil massage and I felt so refreshed afterwards. Definitely very good value for money. I will be frequenting here and recommend everyone to visit as well. 10/10"
