Ahlara International

This spa is a special place....not only do they have the best of all day spa services but they embrace more than just physical pampering and healing but there is a spirtual air to the place and staff. If you are from the west cost, especially, it is like being home where they help you melt away the stress, anxiety, and so much more! more

I have been going to Ahlara regularly for 4 years and highly recommend it. The atmosphere, staff and service is fantastic. Love it. more

I have to confess I am somewhat of a spa junkie. I have been to many different spas both here and in Charlotte and Ahlara is my all time favorite! The facials are so relaxing and Janet is absolutely fantastic. I have to say I am not much on waxing (usually just the brows and upper lip) but the girls at Ahlara made me so comfortable I had my first Brazilian. If you've ever thought of getting one - do yourself a favor and make this the place! more

Ahlara is my favorite place to get a massage in Lake Norman. A few nice touches include: a zen room for relaxing before and after a massage, hot tea, sauna (free with the purchase of a massage), and a shower, locker room, robes, and flip flops so you don't have to undress in the massage room. Their massages are 60 minutes (not 50 minutes, like so many other places), and longer options are also available. I have had several massages there and have never been displeased. My favorite massage -- and a massage that is unique to Ahlara -- is the Abhyanga. This massage has two therapists using synchronized motions to provide you with an extremely relaxing massage. It is totally worth the $140 charge! Erin is my absolute favorite massage therapist, and she is one of the therapists who does the Abhyanga. I like my massages slow and with a light touch, and she never fails to provide me with exactly what I ask for. Ahlara is a great place to go, and I highly recommend them! Pros: Locker room, full 60-minute massages, Sunday hours Cons: None more
