Wow! I have been getting massage for 20 years. I have a regular masseuse. Every time I go on vacation I like to try a local masseuse. I saw Aluna was the best rated on AMI. I made a reservation for a 90 minute massage and added foot and head treatment. After all of the add ons, it was undoubtedly expensive. I went in and was happy to see an effort is clearly made to keep the atmosphere relaxing. I was taken to a rest area that is admittedly cramped. Amber was on time. I made a reservation for a deep tissue. Admittedly Amber didnt use the most heavy of pressure but it certainly falls under the deep category. She is just so, so amazing. She knows where to go, she knows what combination of technique to use. She was able to release knots that other well trained masseuses have overlooked in so many massage therapy sessions. The head and foot treatment were extra relaxing and created a clarity that I aim for but seldom achieve in a massage. This place is great and I will be undoubtedly back read more

Booked a full 90 minute body massage for my friend on his birthday. Falyn was AWESOME!!!

My husband and I were able to squeeze in a lovely couples massage. The facility is very calming and relaxing. Our masseuses were both fantastic. Pam even asked if I was comfortable with some Reiki and this woman has healing hands. I booked myself a reiki session with Pam this afternoon and am looking forward to it. read more

We have been vacationing on Anna Maria Island for years, and even though it gets more and more crowded and traffic gets worse and worse, Aluna is always a high spot that we return for. We booked 3 different massage therapists this time, including a facial for our daughter. Dawn, who did the facial, had great vibes, and she talked just enough to make my daughter comfortable, but not so much that she felt any intrusion. Jeff was amazing according to my husband - he managed to get out a knot hubby had been dealing with for months and months. For me, Jen was great, expressive hands and knew just where the "hot spots" were. One of the things I really like is the attitude of the staff and the owner (I think it was the owner.) Everyone is calm, friendly but not too friendly if you know what I mean, and all the therapists seem happy to work here. The ones we see have been here since we started coming, which says a lot for a place. We're more familiar with the massages than the facial or anything else (our first facial, and we haven't tried anything else, honestly), but recommend Aluna without hesitation. read more

This is my favorite spa - make an appointment ever time I'm on the island. Aluna signature is my go-to!

Such a peaceful relaxing spa! Friendly staff. Best massages! Great location. Lots of great gift ideas in the lobby area.

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 can't 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. read more

Wow. What an amazing, wonderful experience. From the first moment when I called to make my appointment to arriving at the spa, everything was just so perfect. I had 2 absolutely amazing massages (on two different days), exactly what I needed to help me relax on my vacation! Love the products that are used here and the vibe is so calming. This place is a definite MUST when at Bradenton Beach or nearby. Your tensions will simply melt away. Huge thanks to Bette at the front desk for being so wonderfully welcoming. read more

Relaxing atmosphere in a clean and well decorated building. My massage was with Jade while visiting AMI and it was one of the best massages I have ever had. I get monthly massages at home so I have a lot to compare this one to. My husband had an appointment with Dawn and was equally impressed. So happy to have found this little gem and great massage therapists. read more

This place is awesome, friendly and knowledgeable staff. The acupuncturists are very in tune.

Maggie is amazing! I get massages regularly and I need it to be very deep (usually it's not deep enough for me.) I like the snap, crackle, pop, hurts so good I'm going to be sore tomorrow kind of deep tissue massage. Maggie got all my tension spots without me even telling here about them. Definitely up in the top two best massages ever. I wish I could give ten stars. I will be back! read more

My fiancé and I came in here with upper back pain - Trish's acupuncture therapy was the medicine and got rid of pain we didn't even realize we were carrying in other areas as well. My neck and shoulder feel at ease and my spine more aligned with the muscles around it relaxed. She creates a warm, welcoming healing experience from start to finish. read more

The whole experience was perfect from the receptionist to the glass of water as I left. The atmosphere was calming, tranquil, clean and welcoming. Dawn did a great deep tissue massage. I highly recommend a massage to set the tone for your island vacation. read more

The spa is serene and beautiful. Do go a bit ahead of your appointment to take advantage and relax a bit before your massage. I met Maggie for the first time today. She was very thorough asking me what my trouble areas are etc. I told her I hold my stress in my shoulders and had recently strained my left. Maggie was careful to the touch but was able to get me through the first 10 minutes of "it hurts so good", to total relaxation and serenity. I always say I'm going to get a massage during my yearly 2 week trip to AMI and never do. I can confidently say, that I will never go without, now that I've found Maggie and Aluna. Run, do not hesitate. Fabulous experience. read more

I am visiting this wonderful area and it was so refreshing to find such a wonderful spa. Their Signature 75 minutes massage is tailored to your needs and the Reflexology is very well done. Excellent experience with Allyson in the front desk and a great therapist in Maggie. Place to keep coming back. I will be back tomorrow. read more

Had a couples massage with My wife while we were on the island for vacation. Spectacular experience. Highly recommend checking it out

This spa is so relaxing! I saw Terra, for my first massage ever, and she was wonderful! Love her!

After having a standoff with the owner regarding their "policy" to take a credit card over the phone to reserve 2 90 minute deep tissue massages (I refused to give one" , she reluctantly scheduled us. my friend got a decent massage but my massage girl ( in no way can be categorized as a therapist IMO) was clueless. Relaxation massage is all she was barely qualified to give. She even admitted to me that she does not know what people mean when they talk about deep tissue massage! I spent my 90 min session instructing her and explaining even then she could not comprehend. So I paid more for deep tissue, did not receive it, and had a terrible experience and they did not care one bit. They took our money and offered no apologies. This girl needs serious training! read more

Pretty average massage, and it was cut short because the masseuse apparently forgot she had to pick up her dog. About what one might expect from "Island" service. read more

Wonderful spa! Had another amazing massage today, this time with Pam. This was my 2nd time here and I love this place! The decor and atmosphere is not only calming it's so unusual and out of the ordinary. I come to this area twice a year and will return to Aluna each visit! read more

I can't say enough good things about Aluna Wellness. My partner and I go here for massages whenever we're feeling stiff or stressed. The atmosphere is peaceful and beautiful and we feel that the price of the massages are fair. We always walk out feeling relaxed and like we're walking on air! We usually visit with Maggie and Nicole- both are top notch. Be sure to go in a little bit early to enjoy their lounge area with tea and ipods pre-loaded with serene music. read more

My husband and I went for a couples massage, and it's was really relaxing, great therapists and the front desk lady really nice . Great place to get a massage, will definitely recommend coming here . read more

We had a wonderful couples massage at Aluna today! The environment was great and the staff incredibly friendly, caring, and helpful! It was extremely relaxing! Pricing was very reasonable. Highly recommend and will be back! read more

Aluna is more than just a luxury spa, it is a true place of healing for mind, body and spirit. This comment is not being written lightly. It is coming from a truly grateful heart and from someone who has been suffering debilitating back pain since 2005! From the first time I entered Aluna, I felt welcomed by the beautiful (inside and out) caring Karen who does so much more than sit behind the front desk. I have received professional acupuncture treatments performed by Tricia for the past 3 winters. She is not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also very intuitive. Mind you, this is coming from someone who grew up and worked in the traditional world of medicine! I always leave these acupuncture treatments with a huge reduction in pain, and with my spirits recharged! More recently, I suffered a hip injury that had left me reduced to a feeling of extreme hopelessness. After months of treatments in PA, I returned to Bradenton and immediately called in for a series of treatments. Trish was on her honeymoon (Congratulations to you!) and I was fortunate enough to have already experienced the healing hands of Dianna. She performed cranial-sacral treatments and deep tissue massages and used her Dolphin Neuro Stim on areas that I did not even know were in pain! She listened to me cry and she offered me invaluable insights and tools to use as I continue to heal. Most of all, she has helped me to achieve pain relief that I did not think I would ever experience again. These 3 Angel Women have given me my life back. I am forever grateful. This is a very wordy way of saying Thank You, and also reminding the public that Aluna is so much more than a spa. It is a true place of healing read more

This is the first massage we have had in a long time (my wife and I) and we both felt immediately calmed and soothed. Our therapist was wonderful and so professional and very helpful. My wife has had headaches for months and today (we had the treatment yesterday) woke up without a headache and hasn't had one since!! I've had stress issues in my shoulder and not only does it feel better but she gave me some tips on how to look after it better! Will definitely go again next time we are in Fla! Highly recommended! read more

Down here for a wedding after a few stressful weeks and our hotel recommended this place. I had a hot stone massage that was just devine! Lovely ambiance, and the masseuse was quite clever, getting into my knots and working them out. The meditation room was lovely (i was early and was able to have a cup of tea and 15 minutes of meditation). The reason I did not give 5 stars is the rooms are not well insulated and I could hear the dryer going in the next room and sirens on the street. It could have just been that room. read more
