Russian Massage

Russian Massage offers traditional Russian therapeutic massage in the busiest part of St Julian's. The business has six studios across St Julian's, Paceville and Sliema, so there is almost always one close to your hotel or apartment, and every studio takes walk-ins from late morning until evening. It suits UK visitors who want to book nothing in advance and simply drop in after a day on the coast.

The studio listed here is on Church Street in St Julian's, a short walk from Paceville and Spinola Bay. It features in our directory of spas in Malta, and you can send a message through the enquiry form on this page if you would like us to pass a question to the business.

Massages on offer and what they cost

The menu is short and clear. An anti-stress massage lasts 40 minutes and costs €40, using gentle, soothing techniques aimed at easing tension and helping you switch off. A one-hour relaxing massage, with slow, rhythmic strokes, is €50, and a one-hour foot reflexology session is also €50.

Deep tissue massage, which uses focused pressure on tight muscles, takes an hour and costs €60. For a longer session, the two-hour relaxing massage is €89. The premium choice is the four-hand massage, where two therapists work in step for 60 minutes, also at €89.

Each session is tailored to the guest, so you can explain to your therapist what you would like from the session. This page does not offer medical advice, and if you have a health concern you should speak to a qualified professional before booking.

Six studios in St Julian's and Sliema

Five studios sit within St Julian's. Two are on Church Street, at numbers 9 and 26, and a third is at 32 Church Street. Another is on Triq Gort near Mercury Tower, and one is on Wilga Street. The sixth studio is at 7 Triq Il-Kreche in Sliema.

The Church Street area is minutes from Paceville's nightlife and from the hotels along the coast, which makes it handy for an evening treatment, while the Sliema studio suits visitors staying along the Sliema seafront. Our where to stay in Malta page explains how these areas compare if you are still choosing a base.

Each studio has its own style, from a dark grey frontage with a small garden seating corner to a whitewashed doorway with a lit welcome sign. Chalkboard menus outside list the treatments, so you can see what is on offer before you step in.

Opening hours, walk-ins and payment

All studios open Monday to Sunday from 10:00 to 21:00, and walk-ins are always welcome. If you prefer to reserve a time and studio in advance, the business takes bookings through a messaging app, and you can also use our enquiry form to start the conversation.

The website is available in English, French, Italian and Russian, which reflects the mix of visitors who use the studios. Payment is accepted in cash, through Revolut or PayPal, and in USDC or Bitcoin, so it is worth bringing a little cash or checking your preferred method before you arrive.

A massage pairs well with a day of sightseeing. For ideas on how to fill your time, see our guide to things to do in Malta, our best beaches in Malta list for a morning in the sun, or the Valletta guide for the capital's streets and museums.

Planning your visit

St Julian's is well placed for exploring. A short journey brings you to St John's Co-Cathedral and the Upper Barrakka Gardens in Valletta, and the old capital is covered in our Mdina guide. If you plan to cross to the sister island, start with the Gozo guide, and for wider background see about Malta.
