Salt Mine Arium – The Salt SPA of Bellevue

A unique experience! Renting a private room for an hour to so some meditation and yoga with a friend. A bit too cool for what I’d do again for yoga though after about 15 mins of moving it was fine. Really nice owner… she even answered texts from me the night before around midnight! Clean facility and well-​designed. Definitely worth a visit.

Great place! Staff is very friendly. They ask where you are hurting the most and focus on that area. The place was kind of hard to find because it is all the way in the back. I did the couple massage in the salt room and everything was perfect. I wish they had a shower though

Had a 1 hr massage and 45 min salt room therapy today for the first time. Had a really great experience. It was different from my typical experience at a spa. The staff was very friendly and very knowledgeable. I will recommend this place to all of my friends and family. And I will definitely be back again!

It is rare to find places like this. I first discovered this place because of my summer allergies. For the first time in months I could finally breathe upon entering the building, so the first few times that I came here I would just fall asleep throughout the entire session.
In the fall when I came here I truly appreciated what it was. Before entering you are in an area that feels like a warehouse, but as soon as you walk in you are transported to a different world. It is a perfect place to meditate, the chairs are great and the rooms and the stars are amazing.
What I like most is how accommodating the staff is for setting up appointments. I would definitely recommend to everyone and plan on continuing to come here.

This will exceed your expectations if your looking for a new spa/​massage experience. Learning about the benefits of salt in such a near environment is always a good thing.

This place is a hidden gem in a nondescript office park in Bellevue. The salt therapy sessions are remarkably relaxing — falling asleep in one of their salt rooms is a true pleasure. They also have numerous salt-​related goods for sale, including lamps, at very reasonable prices. If you’re a fan of other relaxation techniques (massages, flotation chambers, bowenwork, etc.), it’s definitely worth trying this.

After our trip to Germany, we were intrigued with the natural salt mine respiratory therapy rooms available in the salt caves there. Once home, I was surprised to find a recreated salt mine in Bellevue. But Arium goes the extra mile and really makes the experience memorable. Great staff and top notch facility. Thank you and we WILL be back!

What a wonderful experience! I was recently visiting my hometown from out of state and my step mom booked a visit for us both. I had never experienced a salt spa before and what a treat this was. I learned about the healing benefits of salt therapy before heading in which made the treatment that much more interesting. The chairs are very comfortable and the lighting was perfect for relaxing — I even dozed off a bit. After, I even purchased a little salt gift for my husband. Highly recommend!

While I can’t say with certainty that my sinuses or allergies are appreciably better after my visit, they certainly aren’t worse, and I do feel pretty darn good! The salt room was lovely, and the experience was relaxing and comfortable. Worst case scenario is that I got a nice relaxation session, best case scenario is I made a dent in my crazy sinus issues. The session is a little new agey, but not too out there. I will be going back.

Salt mine therapy has been popular in Europe for hundreds of years, it is the ‘go to’ treatment for any respiratory problems, especially for us in the PNW with our damp climate, it seems everyone I know suffers from asthma or some sort of bronchial, sinus condition, if this is you, run don’t walk to Salt Mine Arium! Coming off a severe bronchial infection/​flu, relief from symptoms was immediate, I went for three visits in a week, goodbye infection, hello happy lungs :) The care and imagination that went into the design of the rooms is unlike anything in the Puget Sound, having a treatment is a true multi media/​sensory experience, replete with changing lighting effects, and cleaver painting scheme’s. Owner’s Annette and Matthias are very welcoming, the massage and yes, energy healer’s onsite are all very unique in their crafts, modality’s, their expert care along with 38,000lbs of Himalayan Salt make the premises positively buzz with good energy.

Great place. Doesn’t treat anything, but is a great way to relax. If you’re ill-​please see a doctor. Visit this place when you’re not contagious and feel up to it.

I had heard about this place from a friend, but didn’t have the need to try it until I came down with bronchitis this week! I like to try new things & was uncertain if this was really legit, but it is! I’ve gone to 2 sessions of the salt air therapy and I’m breathing so much easier. It’s a relaxing 45 minute session with soft music and a light show. I have also tried a Thai yoga massage there which was good and the first time I’d ever had a «yoga» massage. The therapist did some deep tissue and also manipulated me into various stretches– felt so great afterwards! Anyway, the owners are very nice people & this spa is something that’s definitely worth checking out! Hope to be getting one of their beautiful salt lamps too.

I went to enjoy a free day before the holidays. I don’t have allergies but was intrigued to learn more, I could not have been more delighted and relaxed! My massage was great, quite possibly one of the nicest massage rooms I’ve enjoyed. One of the best parts was I never heard any exterior noise. Such a delight! Don’t think you need to be working on a cure to treat yourself here.

The Salt Mine Arium was fantastic! They have the most thorough collection of Himalayan Rocks and rock therapies that have immensely improved the clarity of my skin.
Not only that, my salt therapy session was very relaxing even though it was a trying time emotionally for me (my dog was lost but he has since been found!). I very much enjoyed looking at the beauty of their setup, in addition to the changing lights and music playing during… It helps bring about a sense of peace in our sometimes crazy world, and it really helped to clean out my sinuses.
I am looking forward to visiting again in the very near future! If you haven’t checked out the Salt Arium yet, it is the perfect time to do so! Go clear up those sinuses and relax!

Would recommend for anyone who needs r&r or sinus help. I feel great!

Truly amazing experience. We did a couple’s session and it was so grounding as individuals, and as a couple. The owners are so lovely and very knowledgeable. You can buy salt and salt lamps at the best prices I have ever seen — including a salt wall! GO! GO!

My husband and I purchased a Groupon. We’ve never heard of salt therapies before, but it seemed really interesting and we have always been open to trying alternative holistic approaches. The atmosphere is amazing. Literally 38,000 pounds of salt, beautifully created as a spa sanctuary, like you are in a cave. Their beautiful story of opening the company in hopes to share this wonderful benefit to the community, travelling all the way from Germany is inspiring. Fully clothed, we were escorted in the salt room with 2 other people. They have relaxing zero gravity chairs, and warm blankets during the treatment. The music is so relaxing, and the light show was mesmerizing. so much more than I expected. The atmosphere is beautiful, and after my treatment, I also had a massage (Sheri, a new addition to their team). Massage was a treat, Sheri listened to all my concerns and addressed them. She took the time to talk to me about my injury and actually read the information from what I wrote down, compared to other places who don’t really take that time. The staff offers reverse osmosis water while waiting in the salt lantern filled space with a stack of natural reference books. Very sweet, welcoming and friendly. I’m so surprised I don’t see more reviews, probably because they just started, but really– such a wonderful, relaxing place that I will soon be going to all the time!

This place is gorgeous!!! Each session is about 45 minutes. Complete with music and lights. The music was calming and I even took a nap! They do provide blankets but it does get a little chilly during the session, so if you are usually cold I would suggest dressing warm. The session was extremely relaxing and I would highly recommend this to anyone having some respiratory or sinus issues (they also have salt lamps and other products for sale!)

It has a very gentle spa atmosphere, and the owners are very kind and present as you come in. As for the salt room… take a kid with you so you can play in the salt box. Oh my gosh. Between the soft changing lights that can be seen through the salt walls (that you can lick!!!), the music that is almost unnoticeable except for its calming effect, and the mood-​lifting effect of the salt-​infused air, this place is MAGICAL. At one point near the end, the whole room goes dark except for a beautiful display of artistically-​rendered stars on the ceiling. At that point, we stopped our playing in the salt box and reclined in the zero-​gravity chairs and enjoyed the sight.
I believe a session is 45 minutes. It feels like you are outside of time.

We are going to experience the actual effects of this wonderful salt inhaling treatment tomorrow!
Yes, it is a real deal, I went in prior, had a great chat with both owners, who are down to Earth, helpful and genuine hosts.
So glad that this treatment is available in the Bellevue area !!
YAY!!!
