About this Sanctuary

Nestled in the heart of Ithaca, Rasa Spa offers a serene oasis that seamlessly blends wellness with nature. This spa is more than just a place for pampering; it's an experience that rejuvenates both body and soul. The flagship location at Island Health and Fitness provides easy access and a clean, professional environment. Guests are greeted by dim lighting and the natural scent of eucalyptus wafting from the steam room, setting the tone for relaxation. The sauna offers a great pre-massage treat, complete with warm blankets and cozy robes. A highlight is the tranquil view overlooking the river from the waiting area, perfect for unwinding. Rasa's massage therapists are highly skilled, providing attentive care that leaves clients feeling restored. However, it’s not all about the treatments; the facility boasts a lovely relaxation room, filled with natural light and soothing decor, where you can sip tea or enjoy a moment of quiet reflection.
