About the treatment
What Is a Bamboo Massage?
Bamboo massage uses smooth, warmed bamboo canes of different sizes. Your therapist rolls and glides them over the body, combining the depth of a firm massage with a surprisingly smooth, even feel.
It's our signature treatment at Mandara Spa and ideal if you enjoy firmer pressure but want it to feel flowing rather than intense. Warm oil and rhythmic movements make it both energising and deeply relaxing.

Bamboo Massage FAQ
Does bamboo massage hurt?
No. The pressure can be firm, but the smooth bamboo canes make it feel even and flowing. Your therapist will adjust it to what feels comfortable.
How is it different from deep tissue massage?
Both can reach deeper muscle layers. A deep tissue massage uses focused hand pressure on specific knots, while bamboo massage spreads firm pressure smoothly over larger areas.
Are the bamboo canes warm?
Yes. The canes are gently warmed before your massage, which helps the muscles relax and makes the treatment even more soothing.
Who should avoid bamboo massage?
If you're pregnant, have a recent injury, a blood clotting disorder or another medical condition, please tell us before booking and check with your doctor first.
