A couples massage is a way for two people to set aside time together without having to plan much around it. You receive massages at the same time in a shared suite. You can enjoy the shared setting while asking for different styles or levels of pressure.

Choose a style for each person

Dantara's Couples Massage menu offers Thai, Swedish, or Deep Tissue for each guest. One person might want flowing strokes while the other prefers focused pressure. Talk about your choices before booking and confirm them when arranging the appointment.

If the names are unfamiliar, read our guide to choosing a massage. You do not need to choose the same style just because you are coming together.

Agree on the time you want to spend

Look at the listed couples durations and choose one that works for both schedules. If you want a more unhurried visit, compare the longer options and their current prices. More time can be a thoughtful upgrade when both of you want it; it is not a requirement for enjoying the appointment.

Book the shared appointment

Use the couples treatment option rather than assuming two separate massage bookings will be placed in the same room. Check the booking details for both guests, the session length, and the time. If the booking screen does not show the arrangement you want, contact the spa to confirm availability before making separate reservations.

Share preferences individually

Each person should tell their therapist about pressure, areas to focus on or avoid, and whether they prefer a quiet session. You do not need to match each other's requests. Saying “I would like lighter pressure” does not change what the other person receives.

Keep the rest of the day easy

Allow time to arrive without rushing and check the directions in advance. If the visit is part of a celebration, mention any requests when you book so the spa can tell you what is possible. Avoid planning around extras until they are confirmed.
