About The Buff Day Spa
Tucked just off Grafton Street next to the Gaiety Theatre, The Buff Day Spa is a long standing local favourite for quick fixes and indulgent day treatments. Think warm, welcoming interiors, vintage mirrors and a calm that feels almost secret given how central the location is. The team specialise in facials, tailored massages and express treatments; all popular for shoppers and theatre-goers who want to drop in before a show or after a long day browsing Brown Thomas.
What to Expect
Expect a cosy treatment room rather than a sprawling thermal suite. Signature treatments include hot stone massage, bespoke facials using quality product lines, and a no-fuss pedicure that will get you back onto Grafton Street in minutes. Staff are veteran therapists with an easy manner. Appointments are recommended, especially on Saturday afternoons when the Grafton Street footfall is at its peak.
Insider Tips
Ask for a late afternoon appointment and combine it with a pre-theatre dinner on South King Street or in the Gaiety Theatre area. If you only have an hour, request an express facial or the 30 minute back, neck and shoulder treatment; it works wonders after a day carrying shopping. The reception often has last-minute appointments, so if you are in Dublin and feel like a spontaneous treat, pop in and ask whether anything has opened up.
Accessibility: central location means easy access by Luas at St Stephen's Green or by Dublin Bus routes that serve Grafton Street. Ideal for visitors staying in the city centre and for locals who want a reliable, friendly neighbourhood spa.
