“Great place to go. Enjoy the beautiful scenery and nature. Go for boating, and you can ask the guy to go to the temple as well which is situated in between the lake — like a small island. Really awesome.”
Hallan Chowk · Lakeside Pokhara
A small, careful spa five minutes’ walk from the lake. Open from morning until 11 PM, so you can come straight from a trek, or from dinner.
Our quiet promise
Lakeside is busy — that’s why a spa here has to be the opposite. We’ve rebuilt our cabins, retrained our team, and put four standards in writing. They’re the ones a careful guest would ask about; here they are without being asked.
Each treatment room latches from inside. Single cabins for one guest; couple cabins for two — your door is closed before the oil is opened.
Sheets, towels and face-cradle covers are laundered between every booking. Our linen cupboard is open for inspection if you ask.
Tell us at booking and we’ll match you with a female therapist. We hold a women-only window most evenings — ask when you reserve.
Your therapist leaves their phone outside the cabin. Short fingernails. Quiet voices. The hour belongs to you.
Treatments
All treatments include shower, towel and a cup of cardamom tea. Couple cabins available — pick your treatment and add a guest at booking.
Our house full-body massage. Warm coconut oil, slow gliding strokes from feet to scalp, finished with a steamed compress.
Choose lavender (calm), eucalyptus (clear), or rose-geranium (lift). Medium pressure; ideal after a trekking day.
On-mat, fully clothed. Deep stretches and acupressure along the body’s energy lines — undoes long bus rides and Annapurna ascents.
Heated basalt stones placed along the spine; warm-stone glides loosen the back, neck and shoulders.
Pressure-point work from arch to ankle. The fastest way to feel rebuilt after a day on cobblestones.
A short, focused upper-body release. Stay clothed, sit upright — perfect between dinner and bedtime.
Targeted pressure-point work along traditional meridians. Firm, slow, deeply quiet.
Cleanse, gentle exfoliation, hydrating mask, lymphatic massage. Suited to dry mountain-air skin.
Add to any treatment, or take it on its own. Twenty minutes of dry heat then steam.
Prices in Nepalese Rupees · approx. USD 18 – 30 · CNY 130 – 200. Card · eSewa · Khalti · FonePay · Alipay · WeChat Pay all accepted.
The Lakeside ritual
Pokhara doesn’t move on a fixed clock. You finish a sunrise on Sarangkot, row across the lake at noon, eat dal-bhat at six, and the day still has more in it. Most spas in Nepal are closed by the time you’re ready.
Sakura keeps a single door open, every day, until eleven — and a little later on weekends. Walk in after dinner, leave loose, sleep deeply. You can be back at your hotel before the rooftop bars even quiet down.
The neighbourhood
The lake at sunrise. The Annapurna ridge from the rooftop. The treatment cabin we just remade. The world peace pagoda you can see from our doorstep.
