Being honest
When a Spa Might Suit You Better
If you would like to use a pool, steam room, sauna or jacuzzi as part of your day, a spa with those facilities may be the better choice. If you live in a small shared space with no quiet corner for a massage bed, a hotel stay or a spa visit can also work well.
For everything else, from deep tissue to a couples massage, we bring the full spa treatment to you.

Is a home massage as good as a spa massage?
Yes. The treatment itself is the same: a trained therapist, a professional massage bed, fresh linens and premium oils. The difference is that you get to stay relaxed afterwards instead of getting dressed and driving home.
What do I need to prepare at home?
Just a quiet space of about 2 by 3 metres where the massage bed can be set up. Your therapist brings the bed, linens, oils and music, and sets everything up and packs it away.
Is a home massage more expensive than going to a spa?
Our treatments start from AED 330 for 60 minutes, with all prices shown online. An AED 50 transportation fee may apply to distant locations, and you save the time and cost of travelling and parking.
Can you come to my hotel instead?
Yes. We come to hotels across Dubai. Some hotels have their own rules about outside therapists, so please check with your hotel before booking.
