Desert Lotus Spa — Local services in Tucson

WOW. Just WOW!!!! Moana is a gifted healer. I have been getting Thai massages for decades and hands down, this is THE BEST THAI MASSAGE I have ever had. I am definitely going back- regularly. She has FIXED my shoulder/back and arm issues in just ONE session. Unreal.

First, the booking experience was super easy (ability to book online & last minute in a couple of clicks). Then, when I walked into the reception for the first time, I was greeted warmly by my name- Moana & Darwin were genuinely happy to see me. I enjoyed a nice conversation while I admired how clean and Zen the space was. Very pretty and ambient. In the room, the music was perfect- water, melody, birds... (I felt like I was actually in Thailand once I got super relaxed). Then the massage- perfect pressure, perfect combination of traditional Thai, deep, Swedish, hot stone- and probably more- all the things!! My fave was the warm oil with hot stones...I MELTED. Moana's energy is so positive and she transfers it to you as she works on you. Her amazing skills are varied and you can tell that she loves what she does- and is HIGHLY talented. Gifted.

When I came around (!), I was a whole new person. My shoulders dropped inches, I felt deeply relaxed, and throughout the rest of the day, things in my body just fell into the right place- and this one major issue I had with a tight knot in my back (for YEARS)- was finally resolved. I cant believe it.

Soon, word will get out and Moana will have a 6 month waiting list. I'm going to go back as much I can! Thank you...

This is exactly the experience I’ve been searching for. From start to finish, everything flows effortlessly—booking is seamless, parking is plentiful, and the space itself is warm and inviting. But the real magic is in the massage.

Moana has a gift. She takes the time to understand your needs, stays attuned throughout the treatment, and adjusts with care and precision. Her attention to detail and intuitive approach make for a truly transformative experience.

The spa is immaculate, and the simple request to remove your shoes upon entering (with provided sandals) adds a touch of thoughtfulness and respect that mirrors Moana’s care.

I left feeling not just relaxed, but completely restored. I can’t...

I had my first massage with Moana yesterday. I have had neck and shoulder pain for so long I just thought it was never going to change. The relief I feel is like a weight being lifted off of me. I also suffer from chronic back pain and this morning I am moving around with much more freedom. Moana is gifted as well as warm and kind. She genuinely seems to care and checked in with me several times during the massage to see if the pressure was ok. She did both Swedish deep tissue and Thai massage, the latter I was not familiar with but it involved some deep stretching which provided relief. I highly recommend this massage practice. The setting...
