I was in the neighborhood, so I wanted to check out the facility - cleanliness, etc. - before making the appointment. I walked in and made an appointment, and the guy demanded a deposit! No other place has ever asked for it. What if I just called you, instead of coming in person? I asked him, and he had no answer. After a while, he relented and said that some Indians had not shown and that was the reason. Furthermore, I wanted a 50-min body massage and 30-min head & face massage, but the 50-min already had a 5-10 min of head massage, so I wanted him to change it to full 50-min body. He was really reluctant to make changes to the treatment for unspecified reason (or no reason), but again, finally relented when I said I would just book another place (which I should have done).
The next day, I went for my treatment. The girls were clearly unexperienced - the same exact motion of going up and down and that was repeated for the 50 min. I don't know if they ever get bored, but I surely was! The plastic bed - no padding - was so uncomfortable that I hurt my back (and later it became a bruise). Oh, somebody else mentioned the security camera and there was that, but not only that, the girls would not leave the room when I was undressing, and they also wanted to stay in the room when I was getting dressed. I had to chase them out of the room each time!
Please go to Rishi - much better treatment and nicer people there.

Almost every year I go for authentic ayurvedic whole body massage since 4 yrs (Kerala, Hyderabad Bangalore and now Pondicherry.) It was really authentic massage by a lady and environment seems safe. One thing that I missed was steam bath and I told the owner about it. However I had shower with warm water in their place and it felt so soothing.

This is an authentic clinic specialising in ayurvedic treatments with trained professional therapists. I can highly recommend : Sarvanga Abyangam - synchronized massage using 5 different medicated Ayurvedic oils followed by Shirodhara - 1hr30 minutes, 2,500 rupees = $NZ45 !! (2016).
Let me take you on this decadent experience - strip off and put on the disposable pantie - "sit down on the stool madam" - a portion of warm oil is poured onto my crown, followed by a 10 minute Indian head massage - pure bliss.
"Please lie on the table madam" - a teak custom-made table - facial oil is applied, followed by a vigorous, but very pleasant, facial. Warm oil is then poured and lightly massaged over my entire body. Then comes the synchronized aspect - one pair of hands works on my left side and one pair on my right side. Starting on my legs, skilled hands create the synchronized movements that are swift, comfortably deep and cover the entire leg for a length of time, some kneading, then more swift, warming energizing strokes. Their hands reminded me of a dance where both dancers match each other's perfect timing.
More warm oil is applied to tummy and breasts and once again skilled hands work their magic - no issues here about massaging the front torso. Time to turn over - it's super slippery on the wooden table, so I gingerly turn my body as gracefully as I can while feeling like a slippery piece of soap 😜
The two girls begin on my back, and the spinal work they did felt incredible - soft yet penetrating flicks and pressure.
Time to turn over again. Lying on my back, towel over my body, the girls ready me for SHIRODHARA.
This is an Ayurvedic treatment where a steady flow of warm oil flows from side to side over your forehead - really good for tension in the head, headache, depression and such like - not that I experiencing any of those things, but I love this treatment for the mental relaxation - waking myself up snoring several times through the 1/2 hour process. Utter utter bliss ... and I will definately book in for this treatment again.

The spa came highly recommended, and deservedly. They picked me up and returned me to my hotel free of charge. I am familiar with Ayurvedic massage and this one was excellent - very sweet competent female masseur, perfect pressure (she checked in with me) lovely warm oil and lots of it, as it should be.. Soap and shampoo was provided for a double headed shower after. Followed by a free bottle of water. Helpful manager, friendly staff, peaceful rooms. And a great price - 1000 INR . My only regret is that I found this place on my last day in Pondy. Otherwise I would have gone every day!!

My husband and I decided to treat ourselves to a much needed massage after arriving in Pondicherry. Being a massage therapist myself, we'd researched the best place to go and went here based on the good reviews. Unfortunately the whole experience was disappointing - while the therapists themselves were ok, the 'spa' was tired and dirty, and the treatment was done to the background noise of car horns, telephones ringing and general chatter - a little relaxing music could have improved the experience a lot. Half way through I really just wanted it to be over, and at the end we were shown through to the dingy bathroom and handed a small bar of medicated soap and what could only be described as a tea towel (which was surprising as we had asked earlier when we booked if we needed to bring anything such as shampoo or towels were assured they had everything) - meaning we left sticky and still covered in oil.....I did mention this to the manager at the end (I felt it better to be honest and give him some constructive feedback) but he really wasn't interested. The 1+1/2 hour treatments cost 2,500inr each (£25), which by British standards is ridiculously cheap but in India is quite a lot of money - we left feeling we'd wasted our time and money!

Book in advance as slots for massages fill out really fast. While you have massages concentrating on specific parts of the body, the most popular one is the full body massage. The massage spots are well maintained, your time slots are honoured & the staff is extremely courteous.
While I chose a utilitarian version of the massage (with application of high pressure), feel free to talk to the masseuse if you want a relaxing session. My 50 min session was intense and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The sessions are far better in quality than other places with extremely trained employees and provide value for money.
Post the massage, you can even buy certain items used in the massage or have them delivered to you anywhere in India.

got to know this through tripadvisor and went there and had abhyanga combined with shirodhara for me and my wife which took some 90mins and felt rejuvenated that too at an affordable price. the therapists are well trained and professinal too, and a special mention should be given to the staffs over there who took care of my 3.5yr old child during that time. its better to go there with prior appointments
