The treatment

About Thai massage

Thai massage is the treatment our therapists trained in first, and it remains the signature of the house. Rather than working with oil on the surface of the skin, the therapist applies rhythmic pressure along the body's energy lines using palms, thumbs, forearms and feet, then guides you through a sequence of assisted stretches.

The result is a treatment that feels closer to yoga performed on your behalf. You stay fully clothed in loose cotton provided by the spa, and you leave feeling lengthened and mobile rather than sleepy — which is why so many of our guests book it after a long working day on Sheikh Zayed Road.

Best for: Desk-bound professionals, gym-goers with tight hips and hamstrings, and anyone who finds oil massage too passive.
Session length: 60 minutes · 90 minutes · 120 minutes
Where: Private room, ground floor, Sheikh Rashid Building, Sheikh Zayed Road
Price: Confirmed when you book — call or WhatsApp for current pricing.

What to expect

How the session runs

Consultation

We ask about problem areas, past injuries and the pressure you prefer, then adjust the sequence around them.

Traditional sequence

Work begins at the feet and moves upward through the legs, back, shoulders, arms and neck along traditional energy lines.

Assisted stretching

Your therapist supports you through gentle, controlled stretches that open the hips, spine and shoulders.

Rest

The treatment closes with slow pressure at the neck and scalp, followed by time to rest with warm tea.

Questions

Thai Massage — your questions

Do I need to undress for a Thai massage?

No. Traditional Thai massage is performed fully clothed. We provide clean, loose cotton clothing so you can move freely through the stretches.

Is Thai massage painful?

It should feel like firm, purposeful pressure rather than pain. Tell your therapist at any point and the pressure will be adjusted immediately — we would far rather you speak up than endure it.

How long should I book?

Sixty minutes covers the full body at a brisk pace. Ninety or 120 minutes allows the therapist to spend proper time on the back, shoulders and hips, and is what we recommend for a first visit.
