Fish Spa: Boracay, Manila and Tibiao, Antique

Fish spas have become the latest fad in Asian countries such as China, Vietnam, Thailand and Turkey. There are currently three fish spas in the Philippines: one in Boracay, another in Manila Ocean Park and the third and cheapest one in the town of Tibiao in Antique Province.

Fish spas work using fishes that swarm guests feet to nibble off dead skin, calluses and cuticles, creating a ticklish, soothing feeling.

The fish, usually Gara Ruffa fish species (expensive one that costs P150 to P300 each), feed only on dead skin layer, leaving the healthy ones untouched to heal and rebuild after fish exfoliating effect.

List of Fish Spas in the Philippines:

Tibiao Fish Spa,
National Highway, Barangay Poblacion,
Tibiao, Antique
Tibiao Fesh Spa costs P10 per 10 minutes and P1 for every succeeding minute (now ain't that a cheap price indeed)

Remarks: two hour ride from Caticlan jetty port. Uses a native fish species found in Tibiao (unindentified as the business needs to patent the technology first). About 25 people can enjoy the fish spa service simultaneously in the U-shaped pool.

The Tibiao Fish Spa dreams of becoming the biggest fish spa in Asia someday.
