    Spa treatment you always dreamed about
    I went for a relaxing experience and they delivered above and beyond my expectations. My therapist, Beth knew just what I needed plus she gave me some amazing tips and products to use. The refreshments served at the end of my treatment in the beautiful garden were the icing on the cake. I 100% recommend this place.

    Silvia The Star
    Silvia at the Karen location was amazing. The knowledge she had about her work was very obvious. She even managed to upsell a scrub to me (i'm not an easy one to convince to change the budget). The overall experience was a 10/10. Not the first time and I will most certainly be back again. Well done to the entire team.

    A truly serene experience! Worth every penny!
    I was looking for a spa that lived up to its name, and I can say I truly found it in Serenity. Serene, quite and calm surroundings. As soon we walked through the doors, we were greeted by welcoming smiles of the professional staff, and the relaxing smell of aromatherapy oils. The treatment rooms are beautiful, the steam rooms top notch, and the products up to par. We opted for the Regenerate & Recuperate Package and it was amazing. Will definitely go back there again. Love it! I give it a 9/10

    Amazing experience
    I have just had a massage with Judy a few minutes ago and it has been such an incredible first experience. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and at ease. Her skills are truly exceptional, and I felt incredibly relaxed throughout the entire session. In fact, I didn't want it to end! Judy has a wonderful ability to create a calming atmosphere, and I left feeling rejuvenated and stress-free. I'll definitely be returning for another massage soon and refer a few of my friends.

    Perfect antidote
    Having visited spas all around the world, Serenity Spa in Karen rates very highly. This Spa is a haven of tranquility and far from the madding crowds amidst the busyness of Nairobi. Its rooms are spacious, clean and well decorated and furnished rooms and the staff were very professional in their approach and manner whilst being friendly and knowledgeable too. Beth and Shiro did an excellent job. My afternoon proved relaxing and great value.

    Treatment good, making an appt. was a challenge without local number.
    I very much enjoyed my spa treatments. Body scrub-I wished they let me select the type of salt. Overall treatment was very good. Making an appointment was a little bit of a challenge. I did not have a local number and they do not have WhatsApp so only way of communication is email. My 1st email they did not respond, so I went in person and made the appointment. Reason they gave was the response is as a draft which needed to be sent. What? Why? follow up emails were prompt.

    So Happy
    The Sharon at the front desk was prompt in communication from booking, polite, and understanding when I called that I was running 17 minutes late due to traffic. I also liked the conversation and questions by the therapist to get to know my needs before starting, she ended up suggesting a different treatment that was so apt because today I feel much better and really slept well. Thank you

    Zeus and Hera afternoon
    We had a lovely Zeus and Hera Couples package. Very nice, communicative staff, peaceful mood and decor (Spa is in a lovely old house, but very clean and modern inside). Coffee and Orange scrub was amazing, and 60 min massage was excellent. Staff were sensitive to my wife's recent back pain. The jacuzzi had a bit of a malfunction but staff were swift and discrete in trying to fix it! After the treatment, we were provided tea and fruit on the beautiful lawn - and unrushed and peaceful end to the afternoon. We plan to return!

    Amazing and refreshing experience!
    The service was amazing, from the booking to the treatment and post-relaxation session. It was a great way to start the year. I highly recommend the Deep Tissue massage. My shoulder and knee mobility have greatly improved.

    Personalized and relaxing treatment
    When they talk about serenity - This is exactly what you get. I had an amazing quiet spa treatment at the Karen branch. From the warm,kind reception ladies to Pauline the therapist. They all made my experience worthwhile. Pauline was so gentle, kind and answered all the questions i asked. Very good knowledge of all the treatments she gave, massage, facial, scrub and pedicure. The rooms are big but warm with such a beautiful relaxing finish to each of them. The experience was very personalized. Thank you - I loved every minute of it.

My first experience at Serenity Spa Karen was amazing, and the treatment exceeded my expectations. Judy, the masseuse assigned to me, did an excellent job, leaving me feeling completely rejuvenated and relaxed; the one-hour session flew by!

The staff gave us their full attention, answering every question and explaining important details. They were friendly, greeting us as we moved around the facilities. While I may not remember each name, every staff member I encountered was professional and welcoming, from the guard at the gate to the cleaners in the compound and the staff inside the spa.

The reception was excellent. Samuel was professional, friendly, and explained everything thoroughly and clearly. The billing process was smooth, and he also explained the loyalty points we accumulate with each visit. To top it off, we each received two 5% discount coupons—either for ourselves or to refer a friend. It was a pleasant surprise! 😊

The compound was spotless, and the outdoor chairs were tidy and clean. The reception area was well-arranged, with products beautifully displayed to complement the decor—especially the wall displays, which added a calming touch. Relaxing in the gazebo after my appointment, surrounded by comfortable seating, assorted tea flavors, birds chirping, and lush greenery, created a serene atmosphere. It provided the perfect zen environment essential for a spa experience.

This is the most appalling customer service I’ve ever received- booked an appointment and they made a mistake- instead of apologising they first questioned whether I had actually made the appointment. No offer for compensation, no apology and no alternative offered besides telling me to book another time. Totally disgusting behaviour by the receptionist and the person I spoke to. I still have to use voucher in an establishment that I don’t want to go back to. I strongly suggest you train your attendants and look at treating better your clients.

From the moment you drive through the gate, you find a certain sense of calm within. From amazing smells that relax your mind to the high-quality service, incredibly kind staff, and delicious cafe to grab a bite to eat, you will find yourself ready to relax at every turn. The treatment rooms are well-decorated and beautiful.

The staff are well trained and provide quality care and treatments that make it possible for your body to relax and find renewal. The scrub, steam session, and massage are the perfect combo and leave you feeling lighter and able to breathe deeper. Highly recommend it. You won't be disappointed!

Unfortunately we booked a 90 minute package which was cut short by 10 minutes. We booked the appointment for 7pm which started at 7:30pm and finished at 8:50pm.
My masseuse Ivy was okay however I mentioned the pressure was hard but that didn’t seem to change and woke up (the next day) with my left shoulder in pain.
Moments during the massage we could hear people outside the door having loud conversations which defeats the purpose of having a peaceful time.
The positive was everyone was friendly.
Overall, I wouldn’t recommend here or come back.

very disappointed with the KAREN branch the room I was in for my treatment (Zawadi) was very noisy despite a sign outside that the room was in use clients were being directed to come in and use the toilet which is next to the room. I could hear loudly how each client was peeing and flushing the toilet and banging doors. I am extremely disappointed with the room and ambience I am now more tense than i was before I went in.
I have been a client since 2017 of the Gigiri spa which has been execellent.;
Karen branch the management need to pull their socks up or they will loose their clients.
Parting Shot: DO NOT USE THE ZAWADI room!

We had an amazing experience at Serenity Spa Tigoni. The staff was so welcoming and kind, and made sure all along that we enjoyed the treatments. We had a couples treatment with a full body scrub, jacuzzi and a full body massage. Afterwards we enjoyed some refreshments in the beautiful garden. It is definitely the best so in Nairobi, and I would especially recommend the Tigoni branch for everyone who wants to have a restful time in a peaceful environment outside of the noisy city.

Serenity Spa is one of the few spas to which I give 5 stars without hesitation. Already at the entrance you can feel the professionalism and the whole team radiates harmony. Whether massage, facial treatment, manicure or pedicure, all treatments are carried out professionally. The ambience is enchanting and you immediately feel surrounded by exotic scents. Serene outdoor environment.

This place is amazing. I’ve been going to Serenity for the past 5years or so-and they have consistently offered professional and top line services. Nothing but the best. My only hope is that they open a branch somewhere nearer to where I live!

Serenity Spa Gigiri is amazing, the ambience, staff are so welcoming from the gate you are welcome by the guard and the same reception goes all the way assuring you of a good personalized experience. I came in for a steam, head, neck and shoulder massage and Lorraine gave me a healing experience. The refreshment in the garden gave me a chance to relax and do a wellness check within myself. I recommend Serenity Spa any day any time and you have gained a loyal customer in me 😊😊
