About Arabic Massage

A calming oil massage built on long, continuous strokes and steady medium pressure. Warm aromatic oil is worked across the back, shoulders, legs and arms in an unbroken rhythm — the aim is to settle the nervous system rather than work deep into knots.

  • Warm aromatic oil applied throughout
  • Long, flowing strokes at a steady pace
  • Gentle to medium pressure, adjustable
  • A good first massage if you are new to spas

Who it suits

Guests who find deep-tissue work too intense, first-time spa visitors, and anyone who mainly wants to switch off.

How to prepare

Arrive a few minutes early so you are not rushing. Let us know if you prefer a specific oil or have any allergies.

Afterwards

Leave the oil on your skin for an hour or two if you can, then shower warm.

What happens during your Arabic Massage session

A 60-minute session runs roughly like this. Your therapist adapts it to what you ask for.

  1. Choose your oil and pressureWe ask which oil you prefer and how firm you want the work before starting.
  2. Back and shouldersLong, continuous strokes warm the back and shoulders — the area most guests carry tension in.
  3. Legs and feetWork continues down the legs to the feet, still using flowing strokes rather than deep point pressure.
  4. Arms and handsBoth arms are worked from shoulder to fingertips.
  5. Neck and scalpA calming neck and scalp finish, then a few quiet minutes before you get up.

Before you book

Let us know about oil or nut allergies, skin infections, or any recent injury so we can adjust the oil and the areas we work on.

Not sure this is the right one?

If you want firmer, more targeted work, Thai massage or the full body massage will suit you better.

Common questions

Arabic Massage questions, answered

How is Arabic massage different from Thai massage?

Arabic massage uses warm oil with long, flowing strokes and gentler pressure. Thai massage is done fully clothed with firm pressure and assisted stretching.

Is Arabic massage suitable for first-time guests?

Yes — it is one of the gentler treatments on our menu and a common first choice.

Can I choose the pressure?

Yes. Tell your therapist before and during the session and they will adjust.

Do you provide shower facilities after the oil massage?

Yes, a warm shower is available in the suite.

Do I need to shower straight after the oil massage?

Not immediately. Leaving the oil on for an hour or two lets the skin absorb it. A warm shower is available in the suite if you prefer to rinse before leaving.

How is Arabic massage different from a Swedish massage?

They are close in style — both use long oil strokes at medium pressure. Arabic massage typically uses warmer aromatic oils and a slower, more continuous rhythm.
