Finding your go-to place to relax & recover can be a lot. Demand for Massage in San Diego has rocketed since the pandemic, so Scrubs Magazine decided to bring you the top 5 massage options in the City. We’ve done the research for you and even tested them out. We looked at online reviews, price, and just our own good judgement of the vibe inside.
Some studios even offered Scrubs Magazine a discount, so check the below and mention us when you call.
Mellow
Mellow has quickly become one of San Diego’s highest-rated massage offerings, connecting clients with experienced independent massage therapists through an easy-to-use app or on their website. Whether you’re looking to unwind after a long week, recover from a workout, or simply take an hour for yourself, booking a massage has never been easier.
While Mellow’s beautifully designed hubs offer a calming escape from the outside world, the real experience starts in the app. Browse therapist profiles, read verified reviews, choose the style of massage you’re after, and book appointments in just a few taps. From Swedish and deep tissue to sports massage, prenatal massage, cupping, hot stone, and lymphatic drainage, there’s something for everyone. “The goal of creating hubs was to avoid therapists spending an hour traveling to and from appointments, which limited their earning potential. Also, some therapists in a study that we performed sometimes felt uncomfortable entering a private home. On the flipside, patrons usually felt uncomfortable inviting a stranger into their residence.” Eric Bender, Co-Founder.
We booked with one of the platform’s experienced therapists and immediately understood why Mellow has earned such a loyal following. The attention to detail, professionalism, and quality of the massage made it one of the best wellness experiences we’ve had. With thousands of five-star reviews across the platform, it’s easy to see why clients keep coming back.
If you’re in San Diego and overdue for a little self-care, Mellow is well worth checking out. Download the app or book online, find the therapist that’s right for you, and treat yourself to an hour of well-earned relaxation.

Grotto Massage & Day Spa
If you live in North County, massage prices can be errr, pricey. So we looked for alternative options for those wanting to save a little. And if you want something a little cheaper without compromising on quality, Grotta Massage in Carlsbad is a great option – Right off the 5. We recommend trying a foot massage. Unfortunately, we couldn’t bag any discounts, but since the price point is a lot lower, you won’t need it.

Skin Habit
Skin Habit is almost a cult, with an extremely loyal follower base. With a focus on facials, you feel like your face is getting a massage for an hour! Adding some shoulder, chest and back massage to the mix and you leave feeling like you’ve visited Heaven!
With two trendy spots in Pacific Beach and North Park, Skin Habit has become one of the best spots for a facial in San Diego. Try tacking on a neck and shoulder massage with any of their facial options, especially if you spend a lot of time sitting. Skin Habit also does brows, lashes, and waxing, so it’s a one-stop shop for all of your facial skincare needs.
Both locations have a 5-star rating, so you’ll be taken care of whichever one you visit. No discounts, but check their website and social for any monthly specials.
