The couples massage is often one of the most luxurious services a spa can offer. This type of massage allows two people to receive their massage simultaneously and in the same location by two different therapists. The two people getting the massages can be a dating couple, a married couple, friends or even a mother and her daughter.
A couples massage will take place in some type of suite. The room has to be large enough to fit two massage tables and there must be room around the tables for the massage therapists to maneuver. Some large spas even have elaborate settings for these massages. There may be fireplaces, steam showers, and lounging beds to help the relaxation process. You may want to talk to your partner before the massage and decide whether you want to chat during the procedure, or stay silent in order to relax.
Be sure to ask for references when you start looking for a place to get a couples massage. Not all spas offer this type of service. You can call various spas in your area as well as ask others where they have enjoyed a couples massage. You can also find a lot of information about other services by looking online.
If either your partner or you have never had someone perform a massage on them before, then the couples massage can be a great way to introduce the experience while allowing them to feel more comfortable because someone close to them is there. There are also some people who get very apprehensive at the thought of being naked and getting a massage, but the entire process can be done in a very modest fashion. There will be a sheet to use for covering areas not be worked on and to keep modestly covered. Also, having someone else that you know in the room with you might make it easier to relax.
If you are going with your spouse, then the couples massage is a great way for both of you to have an opportunity to learn more about the process of massage so that you can later perform a nice massage on each other. You can watch the technique your massage therapist uses and then enjoy those procedures with your spouse at a later time.
You may want to check the various prices of the couples massage when you call your local spas. You can count on the service being double what a normal, individual massage would cost. If you choose a spa that has a lot of fancy facilities, it may even cost more. You may want to leave your massage therapists a tip as well and that will add to your costs. You can probably count on a couples massage starting around $200 and rising from there.
There are those people who frequently go to a spa for a massage and they might find it distracting for someone they know to be with them while they are getting their massage.
If you want the opportunity to fully relax, you might prefer to have your massages take place in separate rooms and meet afterwards. Some people find it distracting if someone is with them and they want to talk, while the other wants to just relax and be quiet. You will probably need to try the experience of a couples massage before you will know if it is something you would like to do with that person again. Regardless, this type of massage can be a nice way to help you fully relax and is often a bonding experience with your partner.
