• About Shibui Gardens Outdoor Spa

    The 1,200-square-foot, open-air spa is located in a garden setting with three private outdoor hot tubs hidden by fences and surrounded by ivy, wisteria and wild rose trees, evergreen, and Japanese maple and succulents. Treatment rooms are decorated with Japanese artwork and music, candlelight, and aromatherapy contributing to the overall atmosphere of an urban sanctuary. Treatments include a variety of massage modalities such as Swedish, deep-tissue, Hawaiian, lomi-lomi, Japanese shiatsu, pre- and post-natal, sports, reiki energy work, Trager, and cranial and neuromuscular treatments that focus on injury rehabilitation. Before and after treatments, guests can relax on a park bench in the front garden. Hot tub specials include a 50 percent discount for seniors, and children under eight are admitted for free. We also have a happy hour discount of 10% off bodywork during the week between 2pm and 4pm.

A secret hiding place of rejuvenation
By JenniferB | December 16, 2010

I am afraid to review this spa, because it is my little hiding space! I found this spa by accident, while visiting San Anselmo one day, now it seems I go monthly if not more. Shibui is hidden off the main road, so I think only the locals really know about it, so it's a "best kept secret" of sorts. I live in San Francisco, so I often take a drive over to get a massage or simply soak in the hot tub and use the sauna. It feels as if I had traveled so far, but really it's only a half hour drive. When you walk through the front door it is like walking into a secret garden and suddenly the world around disappears. I have had a swedish massage and a combo with cranial sacral work. The therapists also seem to be very tuned energy workers, highly restorative and relaxing. Highly recommend!

best massage

I had the massage of my life here - lomi lomi with some rocking and Trager thrown in - started with the half hour hot tub and by the time I left, I was completely limp from head to toe. My husband had a sports massage and said it was awesome as well. Don't let the "hippie" vibe fool you - there are some seriously talented massage therapists behind that garden door!

Through the front gate is a little oasis! Great massage, relaxing hot tub while enjoying the outdoors. Perfect place to getaway from the fast pace of San Francisco.
