When it comes to unwinding during a holiday, few things feel as indulgent as a good foot treatment. This particular experience at Happy Feet Spa Fañabé promises a thorough refresh for your feet, combining the gentle exfoliation of tiny fish with a soothing massage and a professional foot scrub. Whether you’re tired from exploring or just want to pamper yourself, this session offers a balance of fun and relaxation.
What we love about this experience is how it’s designed to leave your feet feeling soft, energized, and renewed—without breaking the bank. The 20-minute Fish Spa adds a quirky, almost ticklish element, while the foot massage and exfoliation are perfect for easing tension and removing dead skin. One thing to keep in mind is that the session lasts only an hour, so if you’re expecting a super-long pampering session, this might be more focused on quick rejuvenation.
This experience is ideal for travelers who want a light but effective foot treatment, especially those who enjoy unique, local therapies. It’s perfect for a quick pick-me-up after sightseeing or as part of a spa day in Playa Fañabé. If you’re after a relaxing, no-fuss way to treat your feet, this is a fantastic choice.

What Does the Tour Include?
For $45 per person, this package packs quite a punch. It begins with 20 minutes of Fish Spa, where numerous small Garra rufa fish nibble away at your dead skin. This is often described as a ticklish but oddly satisfying sensation that leaves your feet feeling smoother. Several reviewers mentioned that the fish are gentle and that the experience is surprisingly fun—one comment even said, “The tiny fish gently exfoliated and felt like a weird, but delightful, massage.”
Following this, there’s 20 minutes of a foot massage aimed at easing tension and boosting circulation. The massage is described as soothing, with staff focusing on areas where travelers tend to hold tension—like the heels and arches. Many reviews say that after the massage, feet feel lighter, more relaxed, and ready for their next adventure.
The final part is a foot exfoliation that removes any remaining dead skin cells. This step often involves a professional scrub or mask, leaving your feet feeling refreshed and revitalized. One reviewer noted, “My feet looked and felt like new—so soft I couldn’t stop touching them.”
What to Expect at the Location
The Happy Feet Spa in Playa Fañabé is situated in a convenient spot at C.C. Litoral, Local 19. The facility is described as clean and welcoming, with friendly staff committed to ensuring your comfort. Since many visitors mention the staff by name—like the attentive technician Maria—it’s clear they put effort into making the experience pleasant.
The process is straightforward: you arrive, check in, and are guided through each step. The staff are professional but friendly, often engaging in light conversation to make you feel at ease. The session lasts roughly 60 minutes, which is perfect for fitting into a busy day of sightseeing or shopping.
The Experience Duration & Group Size
Most spa treatments are private or semi-private, so expect a calm, personalized service. The duration of 20 minutes for Fish Spa and 20 minutes for massage means you’ll get a solid half-hour of treatment, with a few minutes for changing or settling in. Group sizes tend to be small, ensuring you’ll have ample attention from the staff.

Several reviewers have mentioned that this experience offers great value, especially when compared to more elaborate treatments that can cost twice as much.
Additional Treatments & Exploring Nearby
While the tour focuses on these three core services, the spa also offers other foot therapies, pedicures, and related treatments for those interested in extending their pampering session. If you’re staying in Playa Fañabé, this spot can be a handy, quick stop for a boost before or after a day at the beach or exploring the local shops.
Why This Experience Works
The combination of Fish Spa, massage, and exfoliation addresses different aspects of foot care—exfoliation removes dead skin, massage relieves tension, and the Fish Spa provides a fun exfoliating twist. The overall effect is a feeling of lightness and renewed energy, making it an excellent pick for those who prioritize foot health or just want to indulge in a unique treatment.
Many reviews note that the Fish Spa’s ticklish sensation is surprisingly enjoyable, and several mention that the staff are attentive, making the experience both fun and relaxing. Plus, the flexible booking options—reserve now, pay later, and free cancellation up to 24 hours before—offer peace of mind for travelers with busy or changing schedules.
Considerations
If you’re sensitive to ticklish sensations or have specific foot conditions, it’s worth mentioning to the staff beforehand. The treatment is designed to be gentle, but the Fish Spa step can be intense for some. Also, keep in mind that this is a quick treatment, so if you’re after a deep, prolonged pampering session, you might want to consider adding other treatments or visiting a full-service spa.
Who Should Try This?
This experience is perfect for travelers seeking a quick, fun, and effective foot refresh. It’s especially suitable for those who enjoy quirky treatments like Fish Spa, or anyone wanting an affordable way to unwind after sightseeing. If you’re in Playa Fañabé and looking for a light treat to brighten your day, this is a solid choice.
It also makes a great addition to a spa day or an afternoon break, especially if you’re traveling with friends or family. Keep in mind, it’s more about refreshing your feet than a full-body pampering—so if you’re craving extensive treatments, look elsewhere.
