Massage north of Tucson, worth the drive
Tucson has many massage options. If you want a quieter room, a Japanese Head Spa or a couples suite, it is one straight drive up Oracle Road.
One road, no highway
Oracle Road (State Route 77) runs from Tucson all the way to us, so there are no interchanges to puzzle over. From Oracle Road and Ina Road it is about 12 miles and 20 minutes. From the Tucson Mall area allow about 25 minutes, and from downtown or the University of Arizona about 35 minutes. From Tucson International Airport it is roughly 50 minutes.
The drive itself is part of the change of pace: the Santa Catalina Mountains stay on your right as the city thins out.
What is different here
- A Japanese Head Spa inside a day spa that also offers couples massage, lymphatic drainage, cupping and foot reflexology.
- Prices posted openly on the website, per treatment and length.
- Long hours: 8:00 AM to 8:30 PM every day, which suits a drive after work.
- Easy arrival: parking in the plaza lot beside the Golden Goose Thrift Shop.
Make the drive count
Because you are already coming a distance, consider a longer treatment or two services in one visit. The booking box lets you add a second treatment, for example a Japanese Head Spa and a 30-minute focused massage. For ideas on how to spend the rest of the day, see a spa day north of Tucson.
