Thai massage helps you relax by combining slow, rhythmic pressure with gentle stretching, which releases physical tension and gives your mind a break. If relaxation is your main goal, choose a gentler style such as Relax Thai Therapy or Aromatherapy Thai, and ask for light to medium pressure.
Which massage is most relaxing?
- Relax Thai Therapy: our gentlest full-body massage, with light to medium pressure.
- Aromatherapy Thai: flowing oil strokes with a scented oil, such as lavender, chosen by you at no extra cost.
- Hot stone: warmth instead of heavy pressure (90 min, £135).
- Traditional Thai: more stretching and energising, but still deeply calming for many people.
How to get the most relaxing session
- Arrive five minutes early and avoid a heavy meal or alcohol beforehand.
- Tell your therapist you want a quiet, relaxing session. Talking is optional.
- Choose 90 minutes if you can. It gives time to fully switch off.
- Pick a calming oil from our oil menu.
