Horseshoe Bay Massage & Acupuncture: The 2026 Guide

Bayside Spa is the only full-service spa physically inside Horseshoe Bay, and by menu depth nothing else in town is close: twelve-plus named treatments running from a straightforward relaxation massage through Himalayan salt stone, River Rock hot stone, cupping massage, a CBD restorative sleep treatment and two prenatal options, all built around the Aveda product line. It is also the only business in town publishing complete itemized pricing — every treatment, every duration, weekday and weekend rates side by side.

The catch is who may book it. The resort’s own FAQ reserves amenities and activities for overnight resort guests and Horseshoe Bay Club members, and the public carve-outs it names are the restaurants and The Market, not the spa. The published price is not the final number either: an automatic 18% staff charge and 4% house charge are added at the end, so a $175 fifty-minute relaxation massage bills at roughly $214. Reservations go through the resort’s phone line; we found no online booking.

For a guest or member, this is the widest massage menu in the market, and the review text we could read praises the therapists warmly — though opinions on the physical spa space are less uniform across platforms. For anyone in Horseshoe Bay who is neither guest nor member, it is a spa you can see from the road and cannot book, which is the fact that shapes this entire list.

Sana Vida is the nearest place to Horseshoe Bay where you can book acupuncture at all — roughly ten minutes away at 507 FM 1431 in Marble Falls, which trades under the Serasana brand and, by its own account, seventeen-plus years in business.

Its acupuncture menu is unusually broad for the Highland Lakes: private initial and follow-up sessions, a semi-private group format in recliners at $50 for forty minutes, facial rejuvenation acupuncture, gua sha and body cupping, alongside a conventional massage list and a full facial menu. Every one of those services carries a listed rate, with a member price beside the retail price and monthly membership tiers on top — the most transparent acupuncture pricing found anywhere near Horseshoe Bay, and a meaningful contrast with the two in-town providers, neither of which publishes a massage price.

The structural difference from a solo practice is staffing. Massage and acupuncture are delivered by different practitioners. The business is owner-led by Patti McCormick, an acupuncturist with more than twenty years in Chinese medicine, with additional licensed practitioners on the acupuncture side — though the practitioner names we found come from third-party licensing records rather than the practice’s own service pages. For a reader who wants breadth, availability and a price they can check first, that team model is a strength. For one who wants the same person every visit, it is a question worth asking when booking.

Par 3 Aesthetics and Wellness is the in-town option that requires no membership, no room key and no drive. It is a physician-owned practice — medical director and owner Julia R. Kellcy, DO — and massage sits inside a broader aesthetics menu rather than being the whole business.

What earns it a place above two better-documented Marble Falls studios on this particular list is the therapist plus the postcode. Stephen, LMT, began in 2009 doing orthopedic and sports massage in professional hockey, relocated to Texas in 2017, and served as Master Massage Trainer at Horseshoe Bay Resort itself before spending two post-pandemic years at a downtown Austin hotel training to Forbes Travel Guide standards. His listed work covers Swedish, deep tissue, prenatal, lymphatic drainage, trigger point therapy, orthopedic massage, assisted stretching, hot stone and body scrubs. For a golfer or a lake-sports regular who does not want to leave town, that is the most directly relevant résumé inside the city limits.

What you cannot do is check anything before you call. No massage prices are published, there is no online booking, and no public review rating was found on any platform. The address also previously carried a listing under the name The Spa on Par 3 with the same owner name attached — consistent enough to read as a rebrand, though no formal announcement was found to confirm it.

Sage Studio is the price anchor for this whole market. At roughly $75 an hour it sits at the bottom of the published range anywhere near Horseshoe Bay — under half the resort’s fifty-minute relaxation rate before that rate’s 22% is applied — and, unlike most independents in the area, the figure is actually published rather than quoted on the phone.

It is not a budget practice in the sense of a narrow menu. The listed work runs deep tissue, myofascial, sports, rehabilitation, lymphatic, oncology-oriented and prenatal massage, plus Swedish, shiatsu, reflexology, hot stones, ayurvedic and aromatherapy sessions, with permanent cosmetics and spa treatments alongside. That is a wider modality list than either Horseshoe Bay massage provider publishes. On Birdeye it carries 4.8 stars across 125 reviews — the largest review base we were able to verify numerically for any provider on this page.

The friction is administrative rather than clinical. Sage’s booking and business information are spread across at least three separate platforms — a Square site, a GlossGenius page and a Booksy listing — so hours and service lists can read differently depending on which one a search sends you to, and the phone number and hours found in this research came from directory listings rather than a page fetched from the studio’s own site. And for a Horseshoe Bay reader it is, of course, 900 Main Street rather than anywhere in Horseshoe Bay.

Massage by Molly publishes both a price and a bookable calendar: you can pick the session type, see what it costs and hold the slot without speaking to anyone. That is worth stating plainly, because not one of the three massage-adjacent businesses found inside Horseshoe Bay offers it — the resort takes reservations by phone, the medspa takes them by phone or email, and the third is a solo practitioner working by appointment.

Molly is an LMT with a B.S. in Kinesiology, six years in massage therapy and seven years working in physical therapy before that. It is a rehabilitation background rather than a spa one, and it shows in how the practice presents itself and in the explicit prenatal offering at $90 an hour, with the general range running $70 to $140 depending on the work. She was voted best massage therapist in Marble Falls two years running, per the practice’s own Facebook announcement; no independent record of that poll was found in this research, so treat it as the business’s own claim.

Two things to know before driving over. The practice operates as one service inside CK Medical Spa on West FM 1431 rather than as a standalone massage studio, so the front door is a medical spa’s. And Facebook posts in January 2026 referenced closures and new hours “coming soon”, so current availability is worth confirming at the point of booking rather than assuming a listed schedule still holds.
