iBeachClub Day Spa, Spa Date Night, & Spa Parties — Attraction in Philadelphia

Overall, this has been a wonderful experience for the bride and the bridal party. Before I go into details, I want to highlight the 2 most important things to me:

The Bride and Bridal Party got the experience that we want. We wanted a personal, relaxing spa experience and that is exactly what we got! As they only allow 1 party at a time, it felt like a very personal, intimate, relaxing experience for a group of family and friends. Everyone was very happy.

Planning anything for a group is hard, and with life, its hard to plan things. Its stressful to make sure everything gets done correctly. I want to say, Joe, the owner, completely understands that. He is so wonderful and was able to communicate with me via text/phone/email even on weekends and afterhours. He was flexible and understood that each person had different needs and was able to accommodate for that. He didn't feel like an owner trying to make an extra buck. It felt like he was a co-planner with you helping you plan to get the experience you want. It was a pleasure working with him!

** Pictures: I could only upload pics without people but check out other pics on review!

Ok, now the details... -We only started planning this 2 weeks before the date that worked for everyone. Joe opened the Manayunk location just for us. -Parking on street was decent and I found a nearby spot. Our time was Sunday 9am-12:30pm for 8 people.

-When I walked in, I was amazed at how spacious the room was. It is one large room with the massage chairs, a bathroom, and a cute alcove for pictures. The pictures on website does not do it justice as it had a very high ceiling and felt very spacious. There is a cute boat themed bookcase to put everyone's bag and a long bench. The decoration was beach themed-all new decorations.

-There are 5 chairs and people changed into robes and started their mini-treatments while the rest of the group did massages downstairs. People who was not doing anything took pictures, chatted and drank hot tea (Joe customized this just for us as we all love hot tea!)

-The massage chair was very good and I felt pampered getting my scalp massaged and hand scrub, etc..I took a break afterwards and drank hot tea with the bride. So relaxing!

-Then we ALL went downstairs and got in the hot tub. It was so much fun! I personally love the sauna, better than other saunas I have been to. -Those who got a massage loved it.

-Afterwards, we took more pictures. We played a slideshow for the bride throughout the spa experience, played bridal shower games, ate the food, drank the wine, and ate delicious cupcakes (from an outside bakery). Joe gave us flexibility.

-Joe took pics and videos of us and later shared with us

-At the end, Joe gifted the bride with a personalized beach spa frame with polaroid pictures of the spa day and beautiful roses in a vase. I thought that was very generous of him.

Bonus, the location is great, because we all walked 3 blocks down to main street and was able to have a nice lunch at a restaurant and shop. So fun!

I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a personal, intimate, relaxing beach experience...

Party of 5, we got the Basic bachelorette package. It was a great experience. The essential oils and the decor and the sound of beach waves were were relaxing. The personalized message on the projector screen was a nice touch. I liked that we had the place to ourselves and could spend the time together as a group. The bride to-be wanted to substitute one of the premium treatments for a 30min swedish massage and they were very accommodating. She mentioned the massage itself was fantastic. The place looked clean and the staff were very nice as well. The massage chairs were amazing as well. Loved the dead sea mud mask !!

That said, i don't know if they were short-staffed or if it was a miscommunication, but one person from our party didn't receive one of her mini-treatments and we didn't realize that until later. Also, though the chairs were amazing, it can't replace the magic of a real massage therapist's fingers. So i just wish the scalp and hand massage were a little longer. It is, however, a mini-treatment as advertised, but a good one, nevertheless, I can definitely see myself being a regular at this place. They could probably start some membership services.

Edit :08/24 Went in for a spa day after nearly 2 years. I got the coastal bliss package. I wasn't expecting to have the whole place to myself but apparently they only take one reservation at a time. The mini treatments, the massage, the hot tub and sauna..everything was great and very relaxing. Joseph was great and he mentioned that after my last review, they changed their protocol to make sure large parties get all the treatments they pay for, which told me they actually take reviews seriously. I was impressed and I'd definitely go back whenever i'm...

To start I am not one to write reviews but in this case I must!!! As the saying goes, “Don’t judge a book by it’s cover “, is true about this amazing hidden gem in Manayunk. I wanted a spa day with my 10 year old daughter for my birthday and I wanted a hot tub, facial and massage. I know big ask. And I didn’t want to break the bank. So as I searched Google the only thing that came up were pricey hotels in the city. Then, I stumbled across a picture of a storefront just off of Main Street and looked at the reviews and pictures and decided I would give it a try ( though I honestly wasn’t sure by the outside). OMG was blown away the moment we stepped inside. The first thing we saw was a huge TV screen on the wall wishing me a Happy Birthday! From the second we stepped inside we were treated like royalty. The sounds of crashing waves, sight & smell all just washed away any stress I was feeling. Immediately we were sat in the Rolls Royce of massage chairs ( insane), followed by mint oil scalp massage, then clay masks with cucumber slices covering our eyes… it was heaven But that was just the start. Next we were guided down a staircase that lead us to a tropical rainforest paradise where there were full body massage beds, a hot tub and sauna! Oh did I mention it’s exclusive? Once you book your experience, be it 2,4,6,8,10… you and your party are the only ones there!! Honestly I can’t wait to get back… The owner is a gem… I almost didn’t want to write this as I am worried once the word is out I will never be able to get back in. But, it’s too good not to share. So whether it’s a birthday, engagement, bachelorette party, anniversary or simply because…...
