Introduction

A couples massage is one of the most relaxing and memorable experiences two people can share together. Whether you’re celebrating an anniversary, planning a romantic getaway, or simply want to unwind side-by-side, knowing what to expect helps ensure your time together is comfortable, calming, and stress-free.

This guide answers the most common questions people ask before booking a couples massage in Hot Springs so you can feel confident and ready to fully enjoy the experience.

1. What Exactly Is a Couples Massage?

A couples massage is a shared massage experience where two people are in the same room, receiving a massage at the same time from two separate licensed therapists. Each person can choose their preferred pressure and massage style, while still relaxing side-by-side.

Couples massages are popular for romantic occasions, anniversaries, birthdays, girls’ trips, vacations, and reconnecting time away from everyday stress.


2. Do We Have to Choose the Same Massage Style?

No. Each person receives a customized massage, even though you’re in the same room.
For example:

  • One person may choose deep tissue for muscle tension
  • The other may choose Swedish for relaxation

This makes couples massage easy to personalize around comfort levels and needs.


3. What Should We Wear During a Couples Massage?

Most guests undress to their comfort level. You will always remain professionally draped with sheets or blankets, and only the area being massaged is uncovered at any time.

If you prefer to remain partially clothed, that is completely acceptable. Comfort is always the priority.



4. How Long is a Couples Massage Session?

The most common session lengths are:

  • 60 minutes: Ideal for relaxation and full-body treatment
  • 90 minutes: Allows slower pacing, more detailed muscle work, and a deeper experience

For special occasions, 90 minutes is recommended for the most relaxing experience.

5. Do We Talk During the Massage?

You can if you’d like, but most couples enjoy quietly relaxing together. Your therapists will speak only when needed to ensure comfort, pressure preferences, and breathing ease.

There is no expectation to talk. The time is yours to enjoy however feels most natural.


6. Should We Book Add-Ons or Enhancements?

Enhancements elevate the experience and can make the session feel more luxurious or therapeutic.

Popular options include:

  • Hot stones for soothing muscle tension
  • Aromatherapy for emotional calm and mind-body relaxation
  • Scalp massage or foot massage focus areas

If this is a special occasion, consider adding at least one enhancement for a deeper experience.


7. Will We Be in a Private Couples Massage Room?

Yes, couples massages take place in a shared private suite designed for two. The room is quiet, comfortable, and set up to help you relax, unwind, and stay connected during the session.


8. What Should We Do Before Our Appointment?

To get the most from your session:

  • Drink water before and after
  • Arrive 10–15 minutes early to settle in
  • Avoid heavy meals right before your session
  • Discuss any pain, tension, or sensitivity with your therapist ahead of time

Communication helps customize your experience and ensures comfort.


9. How Much Does a Couples Massage Cost in Hot Springs?

Pricing varies based on session length and enhancements.
On average in Hot Springs:

  • 60-minute couples massage: typically $150–$240+
  • 90-minute couples massage: typically $220–$360+

Spa packages, facials, and upgrades may vary. Many couples choose a spa package for the best value.



10. When Should We Book a Couples Massage?

Weekend, holiday, and special event times fill quickly.
For best availability:

  • Book at least 2–5 days in advance on weekdays
  • Book 1–2 weeks in advance for weekends or special occasions
  • Book 2+ weeks ahead for holidays, anniversaries, or group spa days
