In Short – Mediterranean-influenced decor in red, orange and beige welcome guests to the spa. The lounge's warm-toned furniture provides men and women a relaxing spot to wait for one of the spa's offerings. The earthy atmosphere continues throughout the private rooms, where patrons can receive the specialty Detox Aromassage with handmade oils, the signature Skin Defense facial, which helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, and other massage, skin and body services.

The Best Spa Experience I Have Had!
by ShirlTheWhirl at Citysearch
The most amazing massage and spa experience I have ever had. They really take YOU into account... getting to know you through a written Q&A. The environment and music took me away to another place. Even enjoyed the pebble floor shower. Small, intimate, and worth every penny and then some!
- Pros: Amazing Massage, beautiful place, and thoughtful!
- Cons: Really, none.

Oh La La

I experienced the Fragrant Hot Stone Massage just to try something new. As a massage therapist myself (new to Portland and the spa's here), I've been around the block when it comes to massages & body treatments and was blown away by this "ritual". It incorporated warm oil, hot stones, specifically designed blends of essential oils, and the fantastic touch of Noora the Massage Therapist. I'm used to the deep tissue, heavy handed massages that I sometimes need, but despite this being "lighter" than what I'm used to I felt so relaxed physically and mentally. Actually, I felt a bit loopy the first 10 minutes I was off the table! :) I feel so energized and healthy and alive still from that massage! Try 1. Fragrant Stone Massage 2. Noora is amazing!!!!
- Pros: Spectacular Service & Cozy Feel
- Cons: not being able to come back every day

Ahh! Spa Willamina. Very impessive

I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I visited Spa Willamina but I figured it was going to be a good place to relax and be pampered by researching there web sit and reviews. Fortunately I was not wrong. It was an Amazing experience.
Granted Spa Willamina is in the basement of the owners house in the lovely Hollywood District of NE Portland but as I entered through the back door and down the stairs to the spa area I got tingles down my back. It is a small, warm and cozy space with the perfect lighting and the most relaxing music. I immediately felt calm and relaxed.
I have been to many spas in Portland from Aveda to your average spas around town and from those experiences I never really thought facials or massages were even worth half the money I paid and I definitely didn't experience pure bliss and relaxation like I wanted. Plus there is always a catch when you go to spas they just want you to buy there product.
At Spa Willamina that was not the case. I was offered a sample of their product (which is made by the owner) and was also offered the best skin care advice ever (they did not push their product at all). Plus with each facial you get a neck, arm, and hand massage! And on top of all that my skin is soft and glowing (I got the alpha+facial!) I really appreciated my experience there and cant wait to go back! Go to their web site and read their estheticians bios and you will be impressed.
- Pros: No push to buy product + 15% off when you pay w/cash
