We had such a lovely experience at the spa recently and wanted to say a huge thank you to the whole team. I had a facial, which was absolutely wonderful and so relaxing, while my husband enjoyed a back massage. We both left feeling refreshed, relaxed and very well looked after. The staff were so welcoming and professional, and we would definitely recommend the spa to anyone looking for some time to unwind and be pampered. We also want to say a massive thank you for supporting Chasing Rainbows Baby Loss Charity by kindly donating raffle and prize contributions for our Baby Loss Charity Ball, which is being held during Baby Loss Awareness Week on Saturday 10th October. Your generosity and support mean so much to us. Every donation helps us continue our work supporting women and families through the devastating experience of baby loss. We genuinely appreciate you taking the time to support our charity and help make our event possible. Thank you again for your kindness, generosity and for helping us make a difference.Posted on Google![]()

Absolutely loved my experience at Dragonfly Spa! My friend took me and we both had such a lovely time everyone was so welcoming, the place smells amazing, and what stood out the most was how clean and hygienic everything was. It’s rare to find somewhere in Leeds with such great service and such high standards Lora did my massage and she was amazing, and everyone at reception was so lovely and welcoming too. Highly recommend and I’ll definitely be coming back to try more of their services! 🤍Posted on Google![]()

I experienced the Flotation treatment, from the moment I entered the spa the service was of the highest level. The decor is wonderful and the attention to detail is unmatched. The flotation treatment was carefully explained to me to enable me to have the best experience. I came completely relaxed and rejuvenated and there was even a pot of tea and brownie waiting for me in the chill out area. Must recommend for anyone 10/10, cant wait to go again!Posted on Google![]()

Excellent massage experience with Nerissa. My husband also had a great experience with Dhruv. Highly recommended!
A sports massage helps ease tight muscles, reduce tension, and improve recovery - whether you’re active regularly or just feeling the strain from daily life.
Sports massage is more targeted. It focuses on problem areas and uses deeper pressure to help with aches, stiffness or injury recovery, compared to a general massage which is usually more relaxing.
If you’ve got muscle tightness, soreness, limited movement or you’re recovering from exercise or injury, a sports massage could really help.
You might feel a bit sore for a day or two, especially if it’s your first time or the massage was deep, but that’s totally normal and usually means it’s working.
Try not to eat a big meal or do an intense workout just before your appointment. Arrive hydrated and give yourself time to relax beforehand.
They overlap, but the intent differs. Deep tissue massage works firmly into general areas of chronic tightness, while sports massage is structured around activity and recovery - targeting the specific muscle groups you've been training. If you're active, choose sports massage; for all-over firm work, choose deep tissue.
Sports massage at Dragonfly Skin costs £105 for a 60-minute session, including a short consultation at the start. Gift cards are available, and you can book online, via WhatsApp or by phone.
