JB massage price guide (2024): Bangkok Spa, Thai Odyssey & more

Everyone needs a good massage once in a while, especially after prolonged periods of hunching over our desks while working. Sadly, massages in Singapore are terribly expensive, with prices starting from $60+ at the more affordable chains.

Many who want cheap and good often head over to JB where there's a whole lot of massage parlours with a full suite of massage services. From nearby City Square Mall to Mid Valley Southkey, Paradigm Mall and more, here's a list of cheap massage places in JB to soothe your aching back.

7 affordable JB massage parlours to check out

These massage parlours in JB are just some of the popular ones in the areas where Singaporeans tend to frequent such as City Square Mall near Woodlands Checkpoint, KSL City, Taman Pelangi, etc. 

There are lots of other standalone massage parlours in JB in the popular areas too. Regardless of where your JB adventure takes you, you’re bound to find a massage parlour in a mall or a retail area.

1. Century Health Care & Beauty (KSL City)

If KSL City is your go-to mall, then you'd most likely have heard about Century Health Care & Beauty. Having been around for 10+ years, the full service massage centre provides a variety of services including foot reflexology, full body massage, and neck and shoulder options. 

Apart from the usual body massage, there are also some rather interesting options such as fire cupping and a raw ginger massage-both of which sound like they involve some matter of pain.

If these are not up your alley, there's also something called Ovary Care, or you can do cupping or get your ears cleaned with lymphatic ear candling. And if you're bored during your treatment, Century Health has got you covered with free Wifi and a TV.

• Address: No. 33 Jalan Seladang | L1-32,33,34 KSL City, Taman Abad, Johor Bahru 80250, Malaysia

2. SQ Massage (City Square, KSL City)

SQ Massage has two outlets:

1. SQ Massage at City Square JB—The most expensive of the three outlets.

Depending on which outlet you go to, you may get different prices. All offer body and foot massages but the prices aren't displayed on its website. There's a WhatsApp number where you can contact the business and ask them for the price list — but not to worry, we've done that for you.

The full body massages at City Square start from RM85/S$24.90 for a 60 mins traditional body massage, while a foot massage costs RM60/S$17.50 for 60 mins. I’m not sure about you but unless you have some really aching feet, the full body massage might be more worth it.
