Lavada - Hobart, Tasmania

Krish

Right, so, picture this: me, a bloke who thinks a "facial" involves shaving, walks into Lavada. Expected a room with a table and some scented oil. Got something that looked like a spaceship designed by a fancy perfume bottle.

This place is swanky. Like, "I wear silk pajamas to bed" swanky. I'm sitting there in my shorts, feeling like I've accidentally wandered into a Vogue photoshoot. The air smells like a garden exploded in a good way, and the decor? Mate, it's like a minimalist's wet dream.

Then the massage. Turns out, they know what they're doing. Knotted me up like a pretzel, and untangled me like a magician with a rope trick. Honestly, I reckon this place is basically a feminist utopia. They've got the whole "pamper yourself" thing down to a science. Me? I was just happy to get a decent back rub without smelling like a locker room afterwards.

If you're a lady who likes nice things, or even a bloke who accidentally stumbled into a high-end cloud, Lavada's worth a visit. 5 out of 5, would recommend, even if you're just there to figure out what all those fancy smells are.

I chose LAVADA completely at random during my visit to Hobart. I found the online booking service was very easy.
As soon as I walked in, surveyed the reception desk and met Michelle I was immediately confident that I was in for a truly positive experience.
The rooms all have solid walls and doorways making for a completely individual treatment. No noise or interference from anything outside the room. Sooooo important.

I travel around Australia full time in my caravan with barely any access to a bath or luxury bathroom facilities so I decided to go all out and have the Detox Spa Journey at $399.

My spa session with Michelle was truly amazing. And I mean that sincerely. She was so attentive, caring and gentle. Which was imperative after my leg surgery last month. I couldn’t have randomly chosen a better therapist if I tried. (no reflection on the other staff)

After being sublimely exfoliated then wrapped in a clay cocoon during a deeply relaxing head massage, Michelle remained in the room just outside the shower making sure that I was safe and didn’t get too wobbly with my new knee (I use a walking stick). This clearly illustrated to me an exceptional level of caring over and above the usual for me as a client.

The products used during the entire process including the one hour moisturising massage were excellent. I felt extremely soft skinned and smooth. On completion of my treatment I felt calm, relaxed and light as a feather.

Michelle’s attention to me as a client was nothing short of perfect. As someone who has had 100s of massages and dozens of spa visits over the last 30 years I found this experience absolutely faultless. Michelle is a client-centred professional and definitely a person who is particularly suited to her career as a spa therapist.

I could not have been more delighted with my time at LAVADA and would recommend this establishment to anyone looking for a personal and professional, heavenly spa experience.

I have had an incredible experience with lavada each and every time i attend.
From the moment I walked in, I was warmly welcomed and immediately felt at ease. The staff are not only professional but also genuinely friendly, creating a comfortable and inviting atmosphere.

The space is spotless and well-organized, reflecting their high standards of cleanliness and attention to detail. It’s clear that hygiene and client care are top priorities here, which give me great confidence in their services and competencies.

Every step of the process is explained each visit, and explained thoroughly. The team ensure I feel informed and cared for throughout. I highly recommend Lavada to anyone looking for top-quality cosmetic services in a professional, clean, and welcoming environment.

Wow, my friends generously gifted me a Lavada voucher for my birthday and wow. It’s not as simple as booking a service and going, the whole experience from the second you walk in is a multi faceted sensory journey. Every detail, scent and service is divine. All of the staff were so friendly and Aneeka was incredible. Such an incredible place and full experience is unique and doesn’t come around often! I’ll definitely be back again and can’t stop telling friends and colleagues about it.

Sensational massage! Booked to treat myself while staying at the hotel next door. The staff were beautiful and made every aspect of my massage feel like a real treat. Understood how my body was feeling post partum and made recommendations to suit. Couldn’t recommend Lavada more and I will definitely book again next time I am in town. Thank you!

Lavada is a superb spa - amongst the best in Australia. They are skilled, smart, caring and fun. I can particularly recommend Dr Lexi - not only is she a skilled practitioner, she is a beautiful person in every sense. Thank you for always taking care of me
