Everything about this spa is amazing! I love the zen vibe of the place. My mom and I did massages for her birthday and we were so pleased with everything. Our therapists made us comfortable and satisfied all of our needs.

Visited during vacation for a 90 minute massage per recommendation from a friend -- outstanding service. Phenomenal staff and one of the best massages Ive had in years - still feeling the benefits two weeks later. Ill be back everytime I visit the island!

My wife and I dropped in for a couples massage while on vacation. Very clean and inviting place, and both of our massage therapists Terra and Jennifer were fantastic.

Aluna is top notch. This is definitely one of the best massage therapy sessions I ever had. We were greeted with a warm welcome to match the amazing atmosphere. I highly recommend this, if you are in AMI for vacation- plan ahead!

All of the masseuses at Aluna are wonderful! They create a relaxing environment and customize your massage to your liking. I always leave relaxed and rejuvenated. Highly recommend to book in advance if youre coming to visit the island.

The service was very thorough and I love the aroma therapy used. The ambience was great starting with the lounge and tea as well as the amazing hand scrub at the bathroom. I felt very relaxed and the therapist I saw was very professional and talented at what she does. This place offers a variety of services including facials, massages, reiki, reflexology, sound healing and more. So happy I found this place! I’ll definitely be back on my next visit

Wow! Just got finished with a prenatal massage with Dawn. She is absolutely amazing! Worked on all my problem areas with excellent pressure. I cannot express how good I feel! I wish I could come back every week. Thank you Dawn!My husband had a massage by Jeff. He left and said everything was amazing! Thank you too Jeff!!

Don’t even think about it, this is a must do! It was simply one of the best wellness experiences I’ve ever had. I did Reiki with Sound Healing and the sauna one day, a massage the following day, and another energy restoration practice with the owner the day I left Anna Maria Island. I got there in a funk and Aluna completely turned me around. I left re-energized, centered, and with an incredible amount of joy due to the experience I had there. They have the absolute best therapists in all areas of practice. If you’re looking for a simple massage, expect one of the best you’ve ever had. If you’re looking for something different like Reiki, I’d encourage you to give it a try and go in with an open heart and mind. I plan to make this an integral part of every AMI visit going forward.

My daughter and I went while on vacation the week of June 10th. This place is magical! The moment you walk in the door you feel at ease and relaxed. We both had an hour massage and let me just say OMG if I could bring Jeff back to Georgia I would. I am pretty high stress and these past few months have been super stressful. All I know is at one point I just felt all the stress I was holding in released. My daughter cant stop talking about her first massage and told me I that the stress of maintaining over a 4.25 GPA these past 4 years in high school was all released. She is now talking about going once a month when she goes off to college. If you live in the Homes Beach area or just visiting going to Aluna for a massage is a MUST DO. When we go back next summer I will definitely be visiting more than once.

I can not say enough amazing things about our experience here… from the moment we walked in, we were greeted and taken care of immediately. Our masseuses, Jeff and Jade… were absolutely amazing!! Honestly, my massage was comparable to a spiritual experience😂 it was exactly what I needed and wanted. This is the only place I will go to from now on for massages. Such an amazing experience!!

After years of massage therapy, I can tell within moments if a therapist knows anatomy, pressure points and how to help heal the body where discomfort and tightness hide. At Alluna, Jeff is incredibly knowledgeable and gives the perfect amount of pressure. He exceeded my expectations and i always feel renewed and loose after a massage by Jeff. Extraordinary experience. Other massage therapists are great here too!

Dawn provided me with a wonderful deep tissue massage. Im a weightlifter with very tight muscles, and she did a wonderful job of addressing my sore spots of my neck, lower back, calves and quads. Highly recommend.

Best spa on the island! They have fantastic products, great services, and a nice lounge area before and after your visit. They are all friendly and dedicated to making your experience relaxing and stress free.Their prices are worth every penny, and their masseuses are best in class! Thank you for an incredible experience on our vacation!

I was disappointed with my massage. I have had many deep tissue massages but the massage therapist used too much pressure, I was out of breath most of the time he worked on my back. He also used the heal of his hand with no kneading which is my favorite part of a deep massage .I had to ask him to lighten up at some point because it was painful. It would have been nice had he asked me how the pressure was, how the temperature was etc.I did appreciate his respectful silence but , in my opinion he needs to connect with his client. As I was paying, the person at the desk asked me if I wanted to put the gratuity on the credit card. That’s an assumption that we are supposed to tip which I think is inappropriate. When I tip I like it to be my initiative.I will say the spa is beautiful and I think I just had the wrong therapist for me.

I had a prenatal massage and facial by Pam. She had good communication throughout the entire process and made sure I was comfortable. I have very sensitive skin and she made sure she found the right product for my face. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a relaxing massage and facial!

My Reiki & Sound Therapy session was in a room that had a window (and I believe door) that faced Gulf Drive. During what should be void of all sounds other than those the created by the healer, I had to work hard to block sounds of cars and trucks right outside the window. It was almost impossible. Furthermore, I booked my session on a Friday, with Friday special of $100. I was charged $120, along with generous tip, and it didn’t occur to me until the drive home I overpaid. Also, the healer said, twice, that she would be sending an email of her comments on the session. Never happened (checked spam). The only reason I give Aluna two stars is because the interior is beautiful, and I suspect some of their other traditional service are acceptable. But as for my Reiki & Sound Therapy, as my grandmother would say - pure poppycock

Got the 60 minute Serenity for two (couples massage) The massage was great. They were a little unorganized and started 10 mins late. One table, they didnt have the heating pad under and it was creaking. The cords were getting tripped over and the thing heating the towels was beeping. Could have been an off day, but overall I would recommend. You can hear a little bit outside the building, but they are playing relaxing music. Friendly and accommodating staff too.

My mom and I decided to get massages on our vacation, and omg were they wonderful. We both left feeling relaxed and like they took care of our individual needs. My family often vacations in AMI and we will definitely be recommending Aluna. Thank you to Janae and Jade, you both did so amazing.

The first time I came in, the lady at the front desk was very nice and well-mannered and I got a wonderful massage; I tipped 25% and came back the next day.The second time, my massage, with a different person, I did not find quite as enjoyable therefore I tipped only 15% and the front desk lady (different one than the previous day) made a comment about it which I found distasteful.

Our stay in Bradenton Beach was capped off by a visit to this little piece of heaven. Everyone we interacted with was top notch. Karen was a very nice greeting to the place and Maggie and Janae made Amy & I definitely enjoy our Serenity For Two. They were both excellent! Being only a block away from this place and the beach made our stay here exactly what we were looking for and will definitely be back again and again. Thank you all.

Last week was the first massage I have had in many years. My family and I were visiting AMI on vacation and my wife surprised me with a massage for my 50th birthday and as a sort of stress relief following the unexpected death of a close friend and colleague.My therapist was Janae who I had the good fortune to meet. She is a fantastic LMT, however those are not her only gifts. She is a true healer who is a credit to her profession. She provided a pleasant, caring and disarming experience of body and mind that kept me at ease and brought peace to my soul through soft conversation and wisdom. Words cannot adequately describe her healing powers. I wish you the best Janae!Ty

Aluna Spa has exceeded my expectations. I recently spent 2 weeks on Anna Maria. The trip was a get away to help be re-boot my mind.I found Aluna doing a web search. It looked So inviting, and the offered all the services I was looking for plus more. As soon as you walk in the door a serenity comes over you. The ambiance, the slight aroma in the air really speaks to you. This is going to be great. I reviewed, with Karen, a program that would meet my objectives. We decided on a 2 week program that would specifically address my issues. I went out my basic comfort zone and tried new experiences. Did yoga with Yoga Karen not to confuse the 2 Karen’s. I do yoga back in NY 2x/wk. Karen guided me through the various yoga positions/ stretching poses, and always keeping an eye on me to make sure I wasn’t forcing the pose, which I was accustom to doing. She made it clear not to force a pose, it’s whatever your body will allow at that given moment. Karen’s calming guidance I felt very comfortable. You felt her compassion toward you and the practice. I wanted to take her back to NY with me. Just try yoga for the 1st time. Karen will make you a believer in the benefits to be derived from yoga practice. It started me off on the right path to accomplishing my 2 week program. I did meditation, reniki and of course massages. They offer a full program of different options and extra add ons that you will definitely find your specific desires satisfied.I found my experience with the Aluna Spa and its people special. They make you feel special. I am back in NY but still reflect back on my Aluna experience to put me in a happy place. As you see by have read this far I’m a very satisfied client. They even have a private lounge in the back we’re you can come in early before your appointment and or stay after your session to obtain a calm mind. It’s the icing on the cake adding to you wonderful stay at Anna Maria. It will enhance your entire experience with Anna Maria. Just to be clear this is not a paid endorsement. It is from the heart

Review №36

I would NOT reccommend unless you purelyjust want to relax.I got the Custom Facial which is advertised as This treatment is customized to your skin’s specific needs and requirements to produce visible results. But, they spent ZERO time talking with me about my skin, what my problem areas are, what I currently do for care, if I have any negative environmental factors to contend with etc. Nor did my esthetician even LOOK at my skin before starting. No exaggeration. They were more concerned about my relaxation....if the temp on the room was good, the music, the lights, the pillow placement etc. But I wanted that customization! Even at check in, I asked for that. But they just went through by rote, slathering me up with about 15 different creams that they clearly do for everyone in the same order and didnt even tell me what or why.My skin looks and felt no different after and actually feels much, much worse days later. I have combination skin. I get really bad acne and oily in parts and super dry and tight in others. Because they didnt talk about this and didnt examine my skin for any amount of time before slathering me up, they used products all over that should have been spot treatments or not at all! It has been 3 days and I have more zits on my chin than Ive had since high school and the skin around my lips and hairline are flaking.If you want to relax, it was good. The esthetician was gentle and gave a good massage. But it wasnt what was advertised and if you are going their for real skin care and advice....go somewhere else.

Have suffered from 3 broken vertebrae since Oct. 9, 2918. Have had two surgeries to repair the spine but this provided little pain relief. Pain was unbearable and I was bedridden for 8 months. Out of desperation I tried acupuncture at Aluna. My therapist is Tamara. After 9 treatments I am out of bed and living. Pain level is never over 3. Tamara literally saved my life. The facility is clean, serene and relaxing.

My husband surprised me for my birthday. He dropped me off and said “see you in 2 hours”. I was a little apprehensive at first not knowing what to expect. But from the second I walked in until I walked out, I felt so welcome, relaxed, happy, etc. I highly recommend this Spa!

Over all, the massage was fine. However masseur didn’t start the session on time, which is ok. But then she finished the massage 25 minutes earlier. And unfortunately after the massage I have a swollen wrist.

Best Spa on the Island, the atmosphere is so relaxing, the staff is top notch, the facility is sharp, neat and very clean. You can tell the owner takes extreme pride in the their work. Since I have been going to the place I have actually become a lot more health conscience and lost a little weight.
