About Massage Motu

Palm trees gently sway above a solitary islet of white sand, the turquoise waters around it almost indistinguishable from the sapphire sky. This photograph hangs on the wall of Massage Motu's waiting room, and it's a fitting image. In Tahiti, "motu" refers to a small island, and while Massage Motu might not be located in the tropics, its serene confines aim to make guests feel as if they've stumbled onto a secluded beach.

Inside private rooms, Motu's massage therapists customize body treatments to soothe clients' stress and aches. Swedish massages melt away built-up tension and layers of frost, while special modalities—including prenatal techniques and hand and foot reflexology—focus on specific points of discomfort. Aestheticians are equally adept at fine-tuning facials to address acne, sensitive skin, or signs of aging.
