Massage spa near FLL

Will be taking a redeye and landing FLL at 6:30 am. Are there any massage spas nearby the airport while I wait for a friend to pick me up closer to 10:00 am.

Good question. There aren’t many full-service massage spas super close to FLL that open super early, but there are a few options within a short drive where you could get a massage while you wait for your friend. Here are some good places to consider:

  • Planet Massage Spa (Port Everglades area) — Located just a few miles from FLL. They specialize in airport massages, including outdoor garden massages in their bamboo tiki area or indoor therapeutic massages.
  • Bamboo Wellness Spa — About 7 miles from the airport. Offers a wide range of massage therapies (Swedish, deep tissue, Thai, reflexology) in a calm, healing environment.
  • Silent Moment Spa (N Federal Hwy) — Located in Fort Lauderdale, not too far from the airport. They offer relaxing Swedish massages, along with more therapeutic options.
  • Heavenly Spa by Westin (Fort Lauderdale Beach) — A more upscale option if you have time to ride a little farther. Their “Heavenly Massage” is very soothing; plus, you could enjoy a walk on the beach afterward if your timing works.

Things to Consider:

  • Call ahead to book — many spas need appointments, and early morning slots may be limited.
  • Factor in travel time. Even 5–10 minutes to a local spa could cut into your waiting window.
  • If these don’t work out, another option is to hang out at the airport lounges (if accessible) — though they don’t offer spa services, some have showers and quiet spaces.

In short: Planet Massage is your closest and most traveler-friendly option. Bamboo Wellness and Silent Moment are solid alternatives not far away, and Westin’s Heavenly Spa offers a more luxurious, relaxing experience if you’ve got the time.
