The Massage Goddess
Shell Beach
Founded by Lydia Howell, The Massage Goddess is a premier luxury wellness spa in Antigua and Barbuda, dedicated to helping clients relieve pain, reduce stress, recover from the physical demands of travel and everyday life, improve mobility, and restore balance through personalized wellness experiences.
Lydia began her massage therapy career in Jamaica, where she developed the strong therapeutic foundation that still defines her work today. She later refined her skills while working with an international clientele in Aruba before returning to Antigua and Barbuda to establish The Massage Goddess, a brand built on exceptional service, therapeutic excellence, and genuine Caribbean hospitality.
Conveniently located at Shell Beach Marina, just five minutes from V.C. Bird International Airport, our private spa offers a peaceful waterfront setting where every guest receives our full attention. Unlike many spas, we schedule only one booking at a time, allowing every client or group to enjoy a private, intimate, and exclusive wellness experience without interruptions.
From the moment you arrive, every detail has been thoughtfully curated to help you unwind. Enjoy our Herbal Tea of the Day or refreshing infused water, breathe in the calming aromas of our aromatherapy experience, and, for birthdays, anniversaries, proposals, and other special occasions, relax in an atmosphere enhanced with scented candles designed to make your celebration even more memorable. For guests wishing to extend their visit, a selection of curated light refreshments is available upon request for an additional charge.
Our team of qualified and certified massage therapists and estheticians provides professional treatments from our private luxury spa and through our mobile wellness service throughout Antigua, serving hotels, luxury villas, Airbnbs, yachts, private residences, destination weddings, corporate retreats, wellness events, and special celebrations.
