Thai Massage Studio

Thai Massage Studio is a modest, owner-run massage studio in Birkirkara, one of the largest towns in the middle of Malta. Its approach is simple: a certified Thai massage therapist listens to what your body needs, explains what she or he is doing and adjusts the pressure as you go. If you have never had a Thai massage, you can come in for a consultation first and work out together which style suits you.

Because Birkirkara sits at the island's centre, the studio is reachable from most areas in a short journey, which makes it handy for residents as well as visitors staying in the resorts. You can compare it with other spas in Malta in our directory.

Background and approach

The studio was established in 2022 and draws on more than fifteen years of experience in Thai massage therapy, whether the aim is to recover from a busy week or simply to be pampered. The therapist's aim is to help you leave feeling better, with your overall health as the priority.

Communication is central. You are asked what you are feeling and what you hope to gain, and in return the therapist explains the treatment and what to expect. The studio also encourages regular visits, on the view that massage works best as a long-term habit rather than a one-off treat. It talks about building a relationship with clients so that, over time, you and the therapist can look after your wellbeing together, whether the reason for coming is stress, tiredness or simply wanting a treat.

The massages on offer

The menu covers traditional Thai massage, Thai oil massage, deep tissue (sports) massage, foot reflexology, Swedish massage, Indian head massage, aromatic oil massage, a back, neck, shoulder and head massage, and a body scrub. These are all the services provided, with nothing extra, so there are no hidden add-ons to choose between.

Deep tissue or sports massage can be used whether or not you play sport. The therapist applies controlled, deep pressure to the muscle and checks that you are comfortable, adjusting the strength as you tell them. Swedish massage uses flowing strokes to ease muscle tension and encourage blood flow. Oil massage is a softer take on the traditional Thai style, for people who simply want to relax and unwind.

Price and gift vouchers

A one hour massage costs €40, which is a straightforward rate for a session by a certified therapist. Gift vouchers are available, which is a useful idea for a partner, a parent or a friend who has just moved to the island. Ask about vouchers when you enquire, and mention the length of session you would like, since the price printed is for one hour. Opening hours are not published, so agree a time in advance rather than turning up without an appointment.
