Choose by what you need

  • “I just want to switch off.” Swedish.
  • “My shoulders feel like rock.” Deep tissue.
  • “I am stiff but dislike oil.” Thai.
  • “I train hard.” Sports.
  • “It is a special occasion.” Couples.

How long to book

60 minutes covers a full-body relaxation or one focus area. 90 minutes allows both and is the best value per minute. 120 minutes suits a slow, unhurried session.

What each costs

  • Swedish: AED 165 for 60 minutes, AED 230 for 90, AED 300 for 120.
  • Deep tissue, Thai and sports: AED 230 for 60 minutes, AED 280 for 90, AED 335 for 120.

All prices include 5% VAT and the AED 9 service fee, so the price you see is the price you pay. The full list is on the price list.

A note on safety

Massage is not advised during pregnancy, after recent surgery, with a sprain or injury, fever or sunburn without medical approval. If you have a health condition, ask your doctor before booking.

Questions people ask

What is the most relaxing massage?

Swedish, for most people, thanks to light to medium pressure and flowing strokes.

What is best for back pain from sitting?

Deep tissue is the usual choice for tight shoulders and lower back caused by desk work.

Can I mix two styles in one session?

Yes. Tell your therapist when they arrive, for example Swedish for the back and legs and firmer work on the shoulders. The price follows the main style you book.

Which is best for a first massage?

Swedish. The pressure is gentle, easy to adjust, and it is the lowest priced option.

Does deep tissue always hurt?

It should feel firm, not painful. Tell the therapist if the pressure is too much and they will adjust straight away.
