When you need a respite from the maddening crowds and summertime rush, visit The Mod Spa for a marvelous massage.
“We are not a place that focuses on making you look good; we focus on making you feel good.”
By Diane Alter
Summer in Martha’s Vineyard is the island’s vital season. The population swells, the island’s bevy of beaches are as busy as ever, and the streets come alive with cars sporting out-of-state license plates, walkers from all corners of the world, and serious bikers. It is unarguably a great time to be on MV, but sometimes you need a break from it all and just some “me time.”
That’s when you head to The Mod Spa at the Great Harbor Triangle plaza in Edgartown- right along the bike path at 243 Edgartown/Vineyard Haven Road.
Ranked the Number One Spa and Wellness Center on MV by Trip Advisor year after year since 2010, The Mod Spa offers spiritual massages, blissful organic skin care treatments, and more.
“We are not a place that focuses on making you look good; we focus on making you feel good”, owner Sebastian told This Week on MV. “We are a unique place conscious of the divinity of each and every day, with holistic attention to wellness and tranquility.”
The spa does indeed radiate peacefulness and well-being.
“Nothing here is plastic, mass-produced, or assembly-line made,” Sebastian said. “We are old-world.”
The Mod Spa offers Swedish, Deep Tissue, Warm River Stone, Couples, Prenatal, Table Thai Massages, as well as Ashiatsu Bar Therapy. All are available in 60, 75 and 90-minute sessions. Private yoga and personal training sessions are also available upon request.
For those who want to transform any Mod Spa massage into a blissful pampering of the mind, body, and soul, add-ons such as Warm Wildflower Wrap, Full Body Polish, Organic Face Rejuvenation, Thai Foot Ritual, and Coconut Hair & Scalp Restoration are available.
Customized full or half-day Spa and Yoga Parties at The Mod Spa are available and are popular for bridal showers, retreats and pre and post weddings.
And if you cannot make it the spa, Mod Spa will come to your home, hotel, boat, or anywhere on the island.
Martha’s Vineyard is a peaceful and meditative island framed by brilliant blue seas and skies, perfectly suited for those seeking silent and restorative contemplation. The Mod Spa is a blissful “peace” of the island’s sanctuary.
