The Silent Card

“Silence isn’t empty, it’s full of answers.”

Some clients enjoy a little chat. Others want complete silence. And sometimes you simply don’t have the energy to make conversation. That’s why we have Silent Cards at reception — pick one up, hand it to your therapist, and enjoy completely uninterrupted time for yourself.

No need to explain. No awkwardness. No offence taken. From the moment you step through our door, it’s all about you — not us.

Together

Birthdays, anniversaries & time out together

Couples, friends and family are treated side by side in the same room, then unwind together over herbal tea. Our Celebration Together package is made for it — and our Parent & Child Reconnect is now available all year round.

    I have used Little Buddha several times now, and have never been disappointed. Today I had the 3-hour Royal Retreat package and it was an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. The treatments were incredibly relaxing, thorough and professional, and I left feeling completely refreshed and relaxed from head to toe. The staff are lovely, welcoming and attentive, and the whole experience felt like a real treat. Three hours sounded like a long time beforehand, but it flew by!

    I had a one-hour pregnancy massage today, which was a lovely birthday gift, and I honestly can’t recommend it enough. The beautiful scents throughout the space created such a calming atmosphere, and the rooms and décor were absolutely stunning. The therapist made me feel completely at ease, and Dave at reception was also very welcoming and helpful. As for the massage itself, it’s hard to put into words just how wonderful it was — I left feeling deeply relaxed and refreshed.

    I recently visited this beautiful Thai massage spa with my mum, and we had an amazing experience. I’ve been coming here for a long time, and the new location is absolutely stunning — peaceful, welcoming, and beautifully designed. The staff are always professional, friendly, and make you feel completely relaxed from the moment you arrive. Our massages were excellent, and we both left feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

    Had my first visit to Little Buddha Retreat in East Cowes and it definitely won’t be my last. From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed into such a calm, relaxing atmosphere that instantly helped me unwind. The staff were all incredibly friendly, attentive, and professional. Their attention to detail and genuine care really stood out. The retreat itself is beautifully presented and provides the perfect escape from the stresses of everyday life.

“POR, PLEASE STICK TO MASSAGES! 🤣” Tomorrow marks one whole year in our new home. To celebrate, we decided to interview some of our amazing clients… then Por decided to help! Thankfully, I jumped in to save the interviews. All jokes aside, hearing such lovely words from our clients means the world to us. — Dave (Little Buddha admin)

Please don’t wait until you’re in pain! If you can already feel your body getting tight, stiff or uncomfortable, please don’t wait until it becomes unbearable before booking your massage. A little maintenance at the right time can be much easier than desperately trying to find an appointment once your body is screaming at you. Book ahead — look after your body before it forces you to.
