Couples massage in an airport hotel room at Schiphol

A couples massage near the airport means two guests in one hotel room, with either one therapist between them or a therapist each. One therapist is 360 euros an hour and usually works on each guest in turn, either in two halves or in shorter alternating passages. A therapist each is 720 an hour and lets both guests be massaged at the same time. The room decides a lot. Two guests and one therapist fit in a room with a king bed; two guests and two therapists need a suite, an aparthotel or a large business room. Both guests must be twenty-one or over, and both must have agreed to the booking before it is made. Couples near the airport often book at the end of a trip, the night before the flight home, or at the start of one after a long journey together.

Where it comes from

Massage for two has a long history in spa culture, where couples rooms were built with two tables side by side. The in-room version drops the tables and the spa, and brings the idea to the hotel room where the couple is already staying.

The technique

With one therapist, the time is divided, typically in halves or in alternating passages, and she uses oil and slow strokes on each guest in turn. With two therapists, they work in parallel, often keeping one rhythm so both guests feel the same pace.

What to expect

With one therapist, she sets up the room, explains how she will divide the time and states her limits, and then works with each guest in turn while the other rests under a towel in the lamplight. With two therapists, both guests are massaged at once, usually side by side on a large bed. Either way, the pace is slow and the room stays quiet. At the end the therapist or therapists leave together and the room is yours again.

Who it suits

Couples at the start or end of a trip. Partners flying out early who want the last night to feel like a night rather than a wait. Couples staying in a suite or an aparthotel near the airport with room to spare.

Benefits

It turns a hotel room near the airport into a shared evening rather than a waiting room. Couples often say the hour after she leaves, when both are relaxed at once, is the part they remember.

Length

A couple with one therapist pays 360 euros for an hour, 540 for ninety minutes, 720 for two hours and 1,080 for three. With a therapist each it is 720, 1,080, 1,440 and 2,160. The overnight is 2,500 with one therapist and 5,760 with two.
