On a chilly, rainy Friday, I finally returned to Bath—a city I’d long intended to revisit. The opening of Thy Spa gave me the perfect reason to plan a day trip with my mum to see if the spa’s reputation held true.
Despite being open only a few weeks, Thy Spa showed no signs of the usual early teething problems. The moment we entered, a wave of calmness enveloped me.

A striking golden Buddha perched in the window and soft lighting glimmering off illuminated crystals immediately set an authentic Thai tone, transporting guests into a serene space even before treatments began.
Situated within a magnificent Grade II listed building, Thy Spa Bath masterfully combines historic charm with contemporary luxury. Every staff member we encountered was warm, sincere, and attentive—exemplifying genuine Thai hospitality.
Before my massage, therapist Anna provided traditional Thai wrap trousers, a tunic, and flip-flops in a softly lit, cozy changing area stocked with all essentials. I savored specialty Thai tea and mineral water before heading upstairs for a 75-minute massage that combined traditional Thai techniques with soothing CBD oil.
The massage skillfully blended deep stretching with deliberate, slow Thai movements. Warm oil, poured like liquid gold, enhanced the restorative nature of the treatment. Anna attentively adjusted the room temperature, massage pressure, and music volume to align perfectly with my preferences, demonstrating true care for a personalized experience.
Though a few tight spots reminded me of the deep work on stubborn knots, I was reassured this would settle into renewed balance within a day or two.
Afterward, I relaxed in the tranquil waiting area with fresh fruit and tea, already anticipating my next visit and considering whom to bring along. That night, I enjoyed one of the best sleeps in months, with noticeably improved posture—prompting me to contemplate replacing some chiropractic sessions with regular visits to Thy Spa.
Bath has a rich spa heritage dating back to Roman times, and Thy Spa fits effortlessly into this tradition, adding a fresh, modern twist. Located at 10 Quiet Street in the city center, it is the fourth branch of an independent, ethical spa chain with locations in Oxford, Windsor, and San Francisco.
