Couples Massage and the VIP Spa Package
There are not many things two people can do together that require no conversation, no planning and no compromise — and still feel shared. A couples massage is one of them: one room, two tables, two therapists, and an hour in which neither of you has to organise anything.
This page covers both of our shared formats: the couples massage, and the jacuzzi VIP package that can be booked for one person or two. What happens in the room, how celebrations are arranged, what everything costs, and the small practical details visitors usually want to know before booking. And one thing worth saying up front: "couples" here is not restricted to romantic partners — mothers and daughters, sisters, close friends and travelling companions book this room every week.
The couples room: how it works
The room is a wider version of a standard treatment room: two professional tables side by side with comfortable space between them, two therapists, and a single shared atmosphere — the same dim light, the same music, the same scent. The sessions run simultaneously and the therapists loosely synchronise their transitions, so you begin together and reach the closing movements together. That synchrony is the invisible detail that makes the experience feel shared rather than parallel.
Privacy works exactly as it does in a single room: each person under their own draping, only the area being worked uncovered, the door closed throughout. Session types are chosen individually — one of you can have a deep tissue massage while the other has aromatherapy; pressure and pace are set separately. The standard couples booking is 60 minutes at ₺4,500 for two people in total.
Talk or stay silent — both are normal
The most common question from first-time couples: do we talk during the session? Entirely up to you, and in practice we see three patterns. The quiet ones — the majority: after a few whispered comments in the first minutes ("this is amazing"), both settle into their own session and the room goes still. The talkers — low, occasional conversation; our therapists are used to it and it doesn't disturb the work. The mixed pair — one chatty, one silent; also fine, since nobody manages anybody else's session.
The only real rule concerns phones: both in the locker, on silent. That is where the real gift of this format lies — an hour in which two people share the same room with no screens and no agenda. Talking is allowed; staying quiet is allowed; letting the outside world in is not.
The jacuzzi VIP package, single or shared
The VIP package (₺5,000) combines three elements in one booking: a private jacuzzi session (30-40 minutes), a 60-minute massage of your chosen style, and refreshments with unhurried recovery time. The order matters and is deliberate — water first, massage second: buoyancy takes load off the joints and warm water softens the muscles, so the body arrives at the table already prepared, and the session goes deeper than it otherwise could.
In the couples version, the jacuzzi is shared and the massage takes place on two tables in the couples room; total time runs to about two and a half to three hours and pricing is calculated on the styles chosen, stated clearly before you book. This is our most-requested celebration format — anniversaries, milestone birthdays, the end of a long project — and our most-gifted booking. For visitors, it also works as a half-day escape from a packed sightseeing schedule.
Celebration planning: small touches, arranged in advance
Tell us what you are celebrating when you book and we will prepare accordingly. Common requests: a candle and a handwritten note in the room, a celebration serving at the end, a surprise welcome when one partner doesn't know where they are being taken (let reception know in advance and we'll play along), and gift records prepared with a printable card.
We keep these touches deliberately restrained and elegant — this is a spa, not a party venue, and the calm of the room is part of what you are paying for. Timing advice: for Valentine's week, Mother's Day and the run-up to New Year, book at least a week ahead; the couples room and the VIP block fill early in those periods. For an ordinary weekday, a day's notice is usually enough.
Practical questions couples ask before booking
"My partner has never had a massage — will they be uncomfortable?" The couples format is actually the gentlest introduction: a familiar person in the room removes most of the strangeness, and the therapist builds pressure gradually for the inexperienced partner. Choosing a softer style (classic or Sultan) for them smooths it further. "Can we hold hands?" The table spacing is designed for the therapists' work rather than for contact, but a brief hand between tables during the closing minutes bothers nobody. "What if we don't finish at the same time?" The therapists manage the synchrony; in the rare case of a gap, the person who finishes first rests under the draping — nobody is left dressed and waiting at the door.
One more, asked more often than you'd think: "What if we get the giggles?" Then you get the giggles. This room has no solemnity requirement — couples who laugh their way to relaxation are among our favourite bookings.
Booking, gifting and group formats
Booking: message us with "two people, couples room", your preferred day and time window, and the session styles (or ask us to recommend). The couples room plus two therapists is a scarcer resource than a single slot, so a few days' notice is wise for evenings and weekends. Weekday daytime — and especially the morning band, where per-person sessions start from ₺1,200 — is easier to secure and noticeably quieter.
Gifting: couples bookings and the VIP package are our most-gifted records; we open flexible-date reservations with a printable gift note, valid for three months, and the recipients choose their own day. Increasingly popular as a wedding or engagement gift. Groups: for three to five people we arrange parallel rooms in the same time block, with everyone meeting for tea afterwards — the calm version of a pre-wedding celebration. Send us the number of people and a preferred day and we will propose a plan the same day.
