Martis Valley Massage & SPA sits in the Soaring Way shopping center across from Raley's O-N-E, serving both Truckee-Tahoe locals and visitors with massage, skincare, waxing, eye treatments and nail services. The centerpiece is the Thermal Suite: an immersive hot tub, full-spectrum infrared sauna, cold plunge and a River Lounge Room reached through separate men's and women's locker rooms before opening into a shared co-ed space.
Anyone booking a massage or facial gets Thermal Suite access included as part of the service, which makes the setup work well for couples looking to unwind together after a shared treatment. Nail, waxing and eye-treatment clients can add suite access for a small fee. The suite also runs on its own as a 2-hour drop-in session for $50, with 5- and 10-pack options for repeat visits.
On the skincare and nail side, the spa uses Eminence Organic Skin Care products and has moved to non-toxic nail care, using Sienna polish and Dazzle Dry Gel Alternative in place of harsher traditional products. A retail corner carries Eminence and other apothecary items for continuing the routine at home.
The spa is open daily from 9am to 8pm, walk-ins are welcome, and day passes are available for those who just want the thermal facilities without a full service appointment.
