Couple massage: how it works, and how to plan it well
A couple massage is simply two massages in the same private room, side by side, with a therapist each. It is the booking we get most often for anniversaries and birthdays — and the one people have the most questions about beforehand.
How it actually works
Two therapy beds are set up side by side in a private suite. You each have your own therapist, and both massages run at the same time so you begin and finish together.
The room is yours alone for the booking. You can talk quietly, or not talk at all — most couples chat for the first few minutes and then go quiet, which is entirely normal.
You do not have to book the same therapy
This surprises people. One of you can have a deep tissue while the other has an aromatherapy or Swedish — the sessions run in parallel and simply need the same duration so you finish together.
It is a good option when one of you wants firm recovery work and the other wants to relax. Each therapist runs their own consultation, so pressure and oils are set individually.
If it is your first massage
Book 60 minutes of Swedish for both. It is the gentlest introduction, and a shared first massage is more enjoyable when neither of you is negotiating unfamiliar pressure.
You each undress to your comfort level and are covered by a sheet throughout, with only the area being worked on uncovered. The therapists step out while you settle onto the beds.
Making an occasion of it
Add the private jacuzzi before your massage — rose petals, candles and mood lighting are set up before you arrive, and the warm water means the massage that follows lands better.
A few practical notes: arrive ten minutes early so the session is not cut short, mention the occasion when you book so the suite is prepared, and avoid scheduling anything immediately afterwards. Evening and weekend slots fill fastest, so message ahead rather than walking in.
Common questions
No. Each of you can pick a different therapy and different pressure — one deep tissue, one aromatherapy, for example. The only requirement is matching durations so you both finish at the same time.
Yes. The couple suite is used by the two of you and your therapists only, never shared with other guests. The therapists step out while you settle onto the beds and you are covered by a sheet throughout.
Of course. Most couples chat briefly and then settle into quiet. There is no etiquette to worry about — do whichever feels natural.
For a weekday, a day ahead is usually enough. For evenings, weekends, Valentine's Day or a specific anniversary date, message us several days in advance — the couple suite is our most requested booking and those slots go first.
