English-Speaking Massage in Almaty
Looking for a massage in Almaty where you can simply speak English? At ApaThai, reception and therapists speak English and Russian, so you can choose your treatment, explain where it hurts and say how much pressure you like, without a translation app. ApaThai is in the city centre at Elif Towers, Maulenova Street 46 (lower ground floor), easy to reach from the central hotels.
Our therapists trained and were certified in Thailand (a 200-hour Thai massage program). You can book traditional Thai massage, deep tissue, sports massage, oil and aroma massage, foot reflexology or a couple massage for two in the same room. The spa is run by a German–Kazakh team to German quality standards, and every treatment ends with free herbal tea and light snacks.
The website and the online booking are in English: pick the treatment, therapist, date and time in about a minute. Walk-ins are welcome when we have space. You pay at reception after your treatment, in cash (KZT) or with Visa/Mastercard; a standard booking needs no prepayment.
