Bliss out with Hong Kong’s best affordable massages
1. Tai Pan Reflexology Parlour
We’re obsessed with Tai Pan Reflexology Parlour. From the stunning interior design to the soundtracks that play in the waiting room (think Crazy Rich Asians), to the massages themselves – a trip here is like a mini-vacation. Start with a foot bath before moving on to a shoulder and foot massage, or go all in and have your whole body looked after. We also enjoy the foot steam treatment that incorporates traditional Chinese herbs. Undoubtedly one of the best affordable massages in Hong Kong.
