Avenue Apothecary & Spa

I arrived a bit early and was led to the meditation room (waiting room) where I had spearmint tea, filled out my intake paperwork and enjoyed the relaxing vibe. I am a licensed massage therapist that has practiced medical and spa massage for 18 years. Because of that I tend to be critical of my massages / therapists. Lauren gave an amazing massage, she is new to this particular spa but knew the protocol very well and had a very welcoming presence. We discussed my main issues (including medical issues) and she was able to accommodate and adapt her protocol to those. I had the Nirvana massage with ginger root oil. This massage seems to be a mix between Swedish, Lomi Lomi and some passive stretching. I appreciated the hot towels throughout the massage. I added on the Ayurvedic scalp massage which was done first. Not to be confused with your typical “scritchy” scalp massage. It’s very gentle and focuses energy points and hair follicle stimulation. I have a hard time turning off my “massage critique” but Lauren did such a great job I was able to fully let go and enter the lovely state where your parasympathetic system is activated and you are in floaty / almost asleep state. I shopped around in the store afterwards and found some really unique gifts (perfumes / colognes) and high quality products you don’t see at Sephora, but they had healthier ingredients and were similar or slightly less expensive than Sephora. For example, I use a BHA, AHA for daily exfoliating, and they had a similar formula for about $10 less and it was 2 more oz than the Sephora brand. They also have THC/CBD/CBN products. The folks at the main desk/ register were helpful and friendly. Overall, it was a blissful experience.

My wife and I have been coming to the Avenue Apothecary & Spa for more than 20 years, and it has never disappointed. The staff is always warm, welcoming, and professional, and every massage or treatment we’ve had over the years has been outstanding. We’ve never had anything less than a wonderful experience. If you’re looking for a relaxing, top-notch spa in Rehoboth Beach, we highly recommend giving them a try.

Nini is amazing! For a deeper tissue massage she is your go to. In just one massage I feel so much better. She found areas of tension that I had no idea even existed. She exceeds expectations! 20/10 stars ⭐️ Melissa did my eye brows and they look amazing they are shaped perfectly. Thank you for an amazing massage. - Kylie
