Marin County might be known for its redwoods, trails, and coastal views—but its spa scene deserves just as much love. Tucked between charming towns and scenic hillsides are some of the most peaceful, rejuvenating spots you’ll find anywhere. Think cedar saunas hidden in the trees, hot tubs under the open sky, holistic facials using luxe botanical blends, and massage therapists who somehow know exactly what your shoulders need.
Whether you’re craving a full spa day or a quick massage that hits reset, these local gems deliver the kind of self-care that feels deeply restorative. Here are the best places in Marin to unwind and treat yourself—because you don’t need a special occasion to feel amazing.
Cavallo Point Spa, Sausalito
This place feels like a mini vacation without leaving the county. Nestled right under the Golden Gate, Cavallo Point Spa has it all—sauna, soaking pool, incredible massage therapists, and views that make you forget your inbox exists. Come early for the tea lounge, stay late for the eucalyptus steam room. It’s pricey, but totally worth it for a special treat.
Resonance Marin, Corte Madera
If you’re into the holistic vibe (think acupuncture, energy work, and skin that glows without makeup), Resonance is your place. It’s modern, calming, and doesn’t feel stuffy. The microneedling facial is amazing, and they’re all about personalized care. This is the spot for when you want something beyond just a surface-level massage.
EVO Spa, Mill Valley
EVO is a Marin classic. It’s clean, beautiful, and has that “I take care of myself” energy. You can get facials, body scrubs, detox foot baths—you name it. Their massages are fantastic, and they offer great seasonal specials. Plus, it’s right off the freeway, so it’s easy to sneak in a session before pickup time.
Almonte Spa, Mill Valley
Tucked away in the redwoods, Almonte Spa is one of Marin’s true hidden gems. Private outdoor hot tubs, cedar and infrared saunas, and super skilled massage therapists make this feel like a secret escape. It’s casual, chill, and honestly one of my favorite ways to decompress after a long week.
Turning Point Spa, Mill Valley
This spot is small, quiet, and super tailored—perfect if you’re big on skincare or want something more low-key than a full spa. Turning Point uses beautiful French products and offers LED facials that leave your skin glowing. It's not flashy, but the treatments are legit, and the owner really knows her stuff.
International Orange, Larkspur
If you’re spending time at Marin Country Mart (hello, lunch at Farmshop), treat yourself to a stop at International Orange. It’s modern, bright, and has one of the best deep tissue massages around. The Gua Sha facial is a cult favorite, and their rooftop deck is a nice spot to chill before or after your appointment.
Mill Valley Massage, Mill Valley
Super chill and totally reliable, Mill Valley Massage is where locals go for great bodywork without the fluff. No fancy robes or waterfalls—just solid massage therapists who know what they’re doing. Great for sports recovery or stress relief. Easy parking, too.
Bodywise Massage, San Rafael
Bodywise is a community favorite and has been around for years. They offer everything from Swedish to Shiatsu, and they’re great at tailoring the session to what your body actually needs. It’s warm, welcoming, and the therapists are super experienced. Ideal if you want something therapeutic but relaxing.
Golden Island, San Rafael
For affordable, no-frills bodywork that still delivers, Golden Island is a hidden gem. Their foot reflexology and deep tissue massages are fantastic—especially if you’re on your feet all day. It’s not a luxury spa, but the massages are strong, focused, and seriously effective. Bring cash and don’t expect a fancy lobby, just results.
HELLO MODERN, San Rafael
HELLO MODERN is a wellness-focused spot run by people who really care about long-term healing. Their massages are more therapeutic, and they’re big on creating a space where your body can actually start to recover and reset. They’ll listen to your needs and build a session that’s custom to you—great if you’re dealing with pain or chronic tension.
