Massage & spa in Las Terrenas.

The prices here are Evy Spa's published rates, listed because they are the fullest menu in town and a fair guide to what a treatment costs in Las Terrenas. Independent therapists set their own, and several will quote you on WhatsApp.

Relaxing massage — long, slow strokes for travel tension. USD $60 for 60 minutes, $90 for 90. The one most people book first.

Deep tissue — firm, focused work on backs, necks and knots. $70 for 60 minutes, $90 for 90.

Hot stone massage — warm basalt stones on the back and legs. $75 for 60 minutes.

Full body massage — six techniques in one 60-minute session, $90.

Wellness massage — cranial-cervical work with gentle lymphatic drainage, $70. Good after too much sun.

Couples massage — two people, two therapists, one room. $125 for 60 minutes, $180 for 90, for the pair.

Noche Zen ritual — the spa's signature evening aromatherapy ritual, 80 minutes, $100.

Prenatal massage — a gentle pregnancy massage for a tired back, hips and legs, $60.

Facial — a personalised deep-cleanse facial, 40 minutes, $50.

Lymphatic drainage — a very light, rhythmic massage for fluid retention and heavy legs, $70 for 60 minutes.

Four-hand massage — two therapists working on one guest in sync, $150 for 60 minutes.

Hair braiding for the beach starts at $50.

Prices are per session and the same at the spa for locals and visitors. Pay in cash, pesos or dollars, or by PayPal if the spa sends you a link for a deposit.

After the El Limón waterfall — the horseback ride and the last stretch on foot leave thighs and lower back sore. Deep tissue or hot stone the next morning.

After the transfer from Santo Domingo or Punta Cana — two to four hours in a car on the way in. A relaxing massage the same evening is the classic first-night booking.

After a boat day — Los Haitises, Cayo Levantado or whale watching mean sun and salt. The wellness massage, with its light lymphatic work, is the gentle option; couples who spent the day on the water book the couples massage.

Heavy legs after beach days — lymphatic drainage is a very light, rhythmic massage, not a strong one. It is a wellness treatment, not a medical one.

Pregnant — book the prenatal massage and tell the therapist how far along you are when you message.

A romantic evening — the Noche Zen ritual or the 90-minute couples massage. Evenings fill first; book a day ahead.

Therapists come to you anywhere in Las Terrenas — the town centre, Playa Bonita, Las Ballenas, Punta Popy and the areas around them — with a portable table. The travel fee is a flat USD $20 on top of the treatment price, and couples sessions at home are possible.

Give the neighbourhood when you book and confirm the exact address in the WhatsApp chat. If you are staying further out, at Playa Cosón or El Limón, ask first: it depends on the day's schedule.

Open the treatment you want below and tap the WhatsApp button — the message goes straight to the spa with the treatment named, and you agree a time in the chat. Same-day appointments usually work outside high season; evenings and the December-to-April months book up a day or two ahead. The spa is open every day, 9:00 to 17:00, with later at-home slots by arrangement.

The spa's own website, evyspa.com, also takes bookings through an online form if you prefer that to WhatsApp.

Yoga classes and small retreats also run in Las Terrenas and around Samaná; the guide linked below covers them. New wellness hosts appear on this page as they join Exploras.
