Why massage

A wise investment in yourself

Regular massage is a wise investment in health and wellbeing. Whether it's to relax tense muscles, reduce stress, relieve problem areas or for prevention, a massage helps you feel your best and stimulates the body's own healing system.

Massage therapy is so much more than a luxurious way to relax. We are able to help you with sore neck and shoulders, back pain and sciatica, tennis and golfer's elbow, headaches and migraines, water retention and lymphatic issues, sports injuries and much more.

Our team is happy to help you find a treatment tailored to your needs, to improve your physical, emotional and overall wellbeing.

Massages and treatments

Our therapists are trained in various different techniques. Let us know what you feel you need and we arrange the right style or combination for you.

    Our most popular massage: a personalised full-body treatment combining deeper techniques to release knots and muscular tension with flowing, relaxing movements.

  • Thai Yoga Massage

    Acupressure, energy meridian work and yoga-like stretching — clothed, no oil, on a mat. Invigorating and balancing, sometimes called "yoga for lazy people".

    from 45
  • Hot Stone Massage

    Volcanic stones, hand-selected at the river and gently heated, glide with oil over the whole body. A deep, warming relaxation.

    from 45
  • Ayurvedic Massage

    A healing system from India, over 5000 years old. Circular movements, pressure and channeled energy open the body's channels, cleanse the chakras and restore harmony.

    from 85
  • Massage + Peeling

    The peeling warms the body and stimulates the skin's circulation. Micro-granules remove dead skin cells, leaving the skin firmer, smoother and softer.

    from 60
  • Reiki Hands-On Healing

    Universal life-force energy, gently channelled through hands-on healing. Reiki harmonizes, releases blocks and supports the body's self-healing — clothed, deeply relaxing.

    from 40
  • Indian Head Massage

    "Champi" — a simple and incredibly relaxing massage of upper back, shoulders, neck, scalp, face and ears. Relieves tension and rebalances your energy flow.

    from 40
  • Aromatherapy

    Massage with essential oils whose scents reach the nervous system through the breath. Releases tension and stress, hydrates the skin and improves sleep.

    from 45
  • Lymphatic Drainage

    A very light massage with fine circular motions that stimulates lymph flow. It drains swollen tissue, strengthens the immune system and is deeply calming.

    from 45
  • Foot Reflexology

    An ancient art: zones in the feet correspond to every organ and system of the body. Targeted pressure reduces stress, improves circulation and restores balance.

    from 40
  • Hopi Ear Candles

    A treatment of the Hopi of Arizona. The beeswax-and-herb candles work on a chimney principle — helpful with pressure, colds and ringing in the ears. Gentle and relaxing, with massage and reiki.

    from 40
  • Facial Wellbeing

    A full facial treatment with natural, organically grown plant products. Cleansing, peeling, mask, nutrition and facial massage — you can almost hear the skin whisper 'thank you'.

    from 40

    Applied regularly, it tones the tissue and leaves the skin more elastic and firm. The technique works on the fat cells and supports the skin, connective tissue, muscles, circulation and nervous system.

    A gentle, careful massage, adapted to children.

    from 40

Good to know

Frequently asked

What is reflexology?+

An ancient art based on the premise that there are zones and reflex areas in the feet which correspond to all the glands, organs and systems of the body. Each foot has over 7,000 nerve endings. Applying gentle pressure with thumb, finger and hand techniques reduces stress, naturally improves circulation and brings deep relaxation.

What does lymph drainage do?+

A very light form of massage that stimulates lymph flow with gentle circular motions. It helps drain swollen or inflamed tissue, strengthens the immune system, supports recovery after surgery and aids the body's natural elimination of waste — usually with a very calming, relaxing effect.

What is Thai massage?+

A traditional combination of acupressure, energy meridian work and yoga-like stretching. It uses no oil, takes place on a mattress on the floor, and you stay fully clothed throughout. Thai massage improves circulation, flexibility and muscle tone — perfect when you feel stiff, sore or tired from over-exertion.

Can I choose the pressure?+

Yes, at any time. Just tell us if you'd like the massage to be stronger, deeper or more relaxing. Our speciality and most popular massage is the bodhana Full Body Signature Massage, a mixture of deep tissue and stress release: we work on knots and contractions, the pressure is just before the edge of being painful, and yet you can really feel that some work has been done.

Touch that truly arrives.
