I was visiting Durham for a couple of weeks and this place has been without a doubt something that shines quite bright within Durham.
Their team is amazing and very kind, the installations are super clean, very cozy. They’ve recently added some warming red light therapy pads to be used while you’re in halo therapy sessions, it’s wonderful.
Definitely a place you can disconnect to connect, leave all the noise behind and be present with yourself and anyone else who’s joining you during your session!

Can’t say enough good things about this place. We booked massages and from the first moment in the door were greeted with calm music, relaxing scents, and a supremely gracious host Kelsey. It’s clear they care about creating a rejuvenating and healing experience. I had the best massage of my life with Angelo— extremely experienced and talented massage therapist. Can’t wait to return!

I can't say enough good things about Durham Salt Cave. Ask for Donovan, my sister said he was the best massage she ever had & Kelsey thank you for booking the appointment and making everything seamless. They went above and beyond to create a truly special experience for my sister. I had booked a massage on her behalf as a surprise anniversary gift — her boyfriend is in the military and couldn’t be in town for the occasion, so this gift held extra meaning. The staff were incredibly kind, thoughtful, and accommodating from the moment I reached out.
They not only helped me coordinate everything seamlessly but also made a special exception to fit her in at the perfect time. A card was included with the surprise, and they made sure every detail was handled with care. It was clear they genuinely cared about making it a meaningful experience — and they absolutely nailed it.
Highly, highly recommend Durham Salt Cave — whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just want to treat yourself or someone you love. We’re already looking forward to booking again in the near future.
Thank you so much to the entire team — your warmth and effort made all the difference!

The Salt Cave was a fantastic experience, it was my first time going to a sound bath and it was absolutely wonderful. It was incredibly relaxing and peaceful. The whole space was very clean and looked amazing. The staff was friendly, professional and explained everything. While it is a bit of a drive for me, I will absolutely will return.

Very relaxing experience! Plan to arrive a few minutes early to get oriented. Staff is welcoming, patient and accommodating. Our room was beautiful and comfortably appointed with fully adjustable, gently vibrating chairs equipped with headphones and volume control for lyric-free music. Light blankets, weighted blankets and light-blocking eye covers are available. The fine salt blowing in the air was subtle and not irritating at all. Our 45-minute session passed very quickly. We both nearly fell asleep. Our visit ended with complimentary cups of chamomile tea, Godiva chocolates, and a personalized card from Kelsey and the salt cave staff!
Note: The parking lot here is small, but there's a parking deck directly across the street. We were told that parking validation is coming but they didn't have it quite yet.

I visited the Durham Salt Cave on May 3, 2025. The experience was very relaxing and beneficial in clearing my lungs. It was very peaceful with the soothing music. I would definitely recommend others to give it a try.

I came to the spa and was amazed by how relaxing it looked with tons of natural furniture. Then I took some time to sit in one of the salt caves. Kelsy was such a joy to have, she introduced me with all the positives info regarding the pink salt. The place was relaxing. Thank you so much!

the Salt Cave is an absolute haven, a sanctuary held so lovingly by the people behind it. from the warmest greeting upon walking through the doors to the wonder of the salty—and other!—healing arts, every nook and cranny of this place is a genuine invitation to release and relax. you don't have to go any further than the bathroom to see what they're about—i tend to think bathrooms say a lot in this regard!: beautiful decor, homemade salt scrub, rose facial mist. mm mm mmm! such a pleasure.

I had the most beautiful experience at the salt cave. Bruce was gentle, welcoming, and calming. I was completely blown away by the salt cave room. It feels like stepping onto another planet. I was super comfortable and felt so happy for a moment I almost ruined it by clinging to it and wishing it would never end and then was able to just cherish it for what it was and appreciate the super positive affect it had on me! :)

This was an amazing experience! I wish there was a location in my town. Definitely a vibe. We were a party of 6 hanging in age from 12 to 43 and we all had experiences worth sharing. Will revisit and recommend if ever in the area.

Relaxing and hypnotic. The melodies of the sound bath rocked me into a calm meditation. The warm salt stones kept me grounded. The chamomile tea at the end was the perfect touch of thoughtfulness to my experience. Highly recommend!

I've been there with my family that came to visit from Italy and we had an amazing and unique experience. We tried the Salt and Sound Experience, the space was clean, cozy, the lady that attended us was super nice and made us feel welcome.
The session left us recharged and relaxed.
I definitely recommend it to anyone who need to disconnect and recharge.
It made the difference in this holiday.

5 stars! This place is truly an oasis in the middle of downtown Durham. Kind, expert staff; super clean with beautiful decor; and the most peaceful, relaxing experience I've had in a very long time. The zero-gravity lounge chairs are amazing. I'll be back!

We loved our time at the Salt Cave! It is a hidden treasure in the Bull City; from the moment we arrived to the moment we left, it was tranquil and relaxing. Kelsey, our host, was calm and inviting, and she took care of us at every step. We learned about salt's many benefits and felt we could breathe more deeply after our session. It was a gift to simply lose track of time while taking care of our minds and bodies. The facility was immaculately clean, and we know about cleaning. We highly recommend this experience, and we will return.
