About SAMA Onsen & Massage

SAMA Onsen & Massage, on Soi Saphan Hin in Phuket Town, pairs Thai massage with Japanese bathing: its private onsen baths use water mixed with an onsen powder imported from Japan, and it calls itself Phuket's first private onsen spa. Massages are given in separate rooms with quiet music, adjusted to each guest from gentle to firm pressure, and followed by a shower. A visit with the onsen takes a couple of hours, so booking by phone is best. It is open every day from 10:00 to 21:30.
