Massage is the treatment on almost every spa and wellness centre menu, and the one most people book first. Centres usually offer a short list of core styles — Swedish for relaxation, deep tissue for chronic tightness, sports massage for training-related aches, hot stone and aromatherapy for something more indulgent — alongside a signature treatment that combines several techniques with the spa's own oils.
Booking through a centre rather than an individual means fixed opening hours, a reception, changing rooms and, often, use of the heat facilities before or after. Many centres let you state a preference for pressure and for a male or female practitioner when you book, and couples rooms allow two people to be treated side by side.
Sessions are typically 30, 60 or 90 minutes. An hour costs roughly £50 to £80 at a wellness centre outside London, £70 to £120 in a London or hotel spa. Massage is not advised over areas of recent injury, inflammation or broken skin, or during a fever, and pregnant clients should book a pregnancy massage specifically.

Cardiff Bay is the newest and most polished part of the city, with hotel spas overlooking the water, thermal suites and day spa packages aimed at visitors and groups; it is also where open-water swimming and outdoor saunas have arrived. The City Centre covers the hotels and the leisure spas near the shopping streets. Roath and Canton are residential and good value, with independent yoga and Pilates studios, complementary therapy clinics and community wellbeing projects serving a loyal local clientele.
