Swedish, deep tissue, hot stone, and aromatherapy massage in your own private, immaculate room. Skilled hands, warm towels, and every detail handled before you arrive.
Watercourse Way Bath House Spa provides professional massage therapy near me searches lead to in downtown Palo Alto — Swedish, deep tissue, hot stone, and aromatherapy massage in private treatment rooms. We serve guests across the Peninsula, South Bay, and East Bay, we're fully licensed and insured, and every visit is backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Your session begins before you lie down. The room is warm, the linens are crisp, and your therapist has already prepared everything — Bon Vital' and Biotone massage oils and lotions, essential oils chosen for your session, hot towels, and warmed stones resting nearby. All you have to do is exhale. Guests visiting our Palo Alto spa tell us the quiet begins the moment they walk through the door.
Choose the touch that fits your day. Swedish massage uses long, flowing strokes to ease you into deep calm. Deep tissue brings firm, focused pressure to stubborn tension. Hot stone massage lets smooth, heated stones sink warmth into tired muscles, and aromatherapy massage pairs skilled hands with essential oils that settle the mind. Our therapists work on professional Master Massage tables, and many guests from nearby Los Altos Hills make the short drive a monthly ritual.
Everything is explained clearly when you book — what's included, what's optional, and the exact price of any enhancement before you decide. If you'd rather share the experience, a couples massage places the two of you side by side in one private room. With a 4.7-star rating across more than 1,300 Google reviews, guests return for the same reason every time: immaculate rooms, skilled hands, and care that never feels rushed.

Guest Reviews
Went to the Watercourse bathhouse with my girlfriend during our visit to the Bay Area. One of the best spas that we’ve been to. Loved the staff and the cleanliness. We got the package with a massage and our private room with a sauna, hot tub and cold plunge. Our massages were absolutely amazing! Cannot wait to go again on our next visit.

Small additions that deepen the experience. Each one is optional, priced clearly before you decide, and prepared in your room ahead of your arrival.
IllustrationSmooth, heated stones rest along tight muscles while your therapist works — the warmth sinks in, softening tension so deeper relief comes easier. Many guests say it's what turns a good massage into one they return for.
IllustrationAdd time to your massage and let the session unfold at a slower pace. More minutes means more attention for shoulders, back, or anywhere tension lingers — without ever feeling the clock.
