Best for: Couples seeking a relaxing experience together
There’s something almost mesmerizing about the Four Hands Couples Massage. Two therapists move in perfect harmony, choreographing a treatment that bonds couples. As you lie side-by-side, you’ll experience an in-sync massage that leaves you feeling utterly serene. The soothing effects of this massage are only enhanced by having your partner with you!
A couple’s massage can be a new experience for many, which is why we provide more details on what to expect with our Ultimate Guide to Couples’ Massages.
Best for: People wanting a warming, soothing massage
The Hot Salt Stone Massage is both grounding and deeply restorative. Warmed mineral stones are glided across the body to ease tight muscles while releasing heat that penetrates into deeper tissue layers. The warmth enhances blood flow, softens knots, and induces a meditative calm. Because the stones themselves are rich in minerals, they gently re-mineralize the body while soothing inflammation and quieting the nervous system. If you’ve had a long flight, an active week exploring the island, or you simply crave a deep sleep, this is an ideal choice.
Best for: People seeking deep muscular relief
Every day, we carry tension in our bodies that can gradually worsen, sometimes without us even realizing it. La Mer Spa’s Tension Release Massage is a targeted therapy that combines deep pressure with the comforting warmth of hot stones, helping to relieve built-up tension. Our therapists will work with you to target specific areas of tension, adjusting the pressure according to your needs and preferences. You’ll leave feeling like a weight has been lifted!
Best for: Guests wanting both relief and relaxation
If you want the best of both deep relief and relaxation, the Combination Massage is for you. It includes both soothing Swedish techniques and firmer, more focused work where your body requires it most. This adaptable treatment is ideal if you’re unsure which style to choose or if your needs vary from one area to another. Involving everything from rhythmic strokes to tapping, this massage harnesses a variety of methods to leave you feeling rejuvenated.
Best for: Anyone seeking a low-impact massage
Sometimes, the simplest technique is the best option for you. Our classic Relaxing Massage is our gentlest offering, involving a light-pressure massage that helps quiet the mind and release both emotional and physical tension. Long, light strokes calm the nervous system, improve circulation, and encourage a natural state of rest. It’s a perfect choice for anyone new to massage, guests sensitive to pressure, or those simply seeking a comforting pause.
Best for: Those needing targeted relief in their upper body
Whether you work in an office or just face daily stress, the tension often ends up in one place — the upper body. That’s why our Neck, Back & Shoulder Massage Package is designed to zero in on those high-tension zones, providing fast-acting and focused relief. In this session, our therapists will apply precise pressure to loosen knots and release stiffness. The effects are immediate — a lighter neck, freer movement, and a noticeable drop in stress levels!
Best for: People looking for intensive back treatment
The name says it all — We’ve Got Your Back. During this session, we not only focus on providing relief from tension and knots in your back, but we also provide a cleansing treatment that will open your pores and improve circulation. Whether you spend a lot of time sitting, exercising, or simply feel tension building across your back, this dual-action therapy will leave you feeling refreshed and re-energized.
Best for: Anyone wanting a mineral-rich recharge
When your body feels sluggish or your skin is dull, the longer-length Detox & Recharge treatment offers complete rejuvenation. This full-body ritual begins with a therapeutic application of Firmi-Sea Body Mud, which is rich in minerals and helps draw out toxins and relieve stiffness. After rinsing off the mud, a soothing massage follows, leaving you feeling replenished inside and out. This is the perfect treatment if you’re seeking a detoxifying boost or simply want to end your vacation feeling your absolute best.
Choosing the right massage depends on your personal needs and preferences. For total indulgence, the Four Hands Couples Massage or Hot Salt Stone Massage deliver deep, immersive relaxation. If your body needs targeted attention, our Tension Release, We’ve Got Your Back, or the Neck, Back & Shoulder massages are perfect choices. When you’re uncertain or want something balanced, go for the Combination Massage. And for gentle restoration or emotional calm, the Relaxing Massage always delivers.
If you’d like to complement muscle relief with detoxification or skin renewal, the Detox & Recharge treatment adds that extra dimension of wellness. And of course, all of our massages are customizable, and our therapists will ensure that the experience is personally tailored to you.

While each massage type has its unique focus, there are common benefits you can expect when visiting La Mer Spa for your treatment:

To make the most of your experience at La Mer Spa, arrive a few minutes early so you can unwind before your treatment begins. A calm mind and relaxed body help you settle in and enjoy the full benefits of your massage.
Avoid eating a heavy meal beforehand; instead, have a light snack and stay hydrated before and after your session. Before getting started, let your therapist know about any areas of tension, preferred pressure, or sensitivities so they can tailor the massage to you.
Once your treatment starts, focus on your breathing and allow yourself to relax fully. Afterward, take a moment to rest and drink some water to help your body flush out any toxins and prolong that wonderful post-massage feeling. If you’ve never had a massage before, we recommend reading our guide to How to Prepare for Your First Spa Visit: What to Expect.
Most of our massages run for 50 minutes, giving you just the right amount of time to relax and enjoy the session. However, we also offer a 25-minute Neck, Back, and Shoulder Massage Package for quick relief. Our Detox & Recharge treatment runs for 115 minutes for total pampering.
It’s best to arrive at least 10 minutes before your appointment to allow you enough time to settle in and fill in a brief form if it’s your first visit. If you are late, your treatment time will be reduced accordingly.
Absolutely. While each treatment has a specified pressure, you can consult your therapist to adjust this according to your needs throughout the session.
If you are pregnant, have high blood pressure, allergies, or injuries, please share these with your therapist so they can adjust or recommend appropriate therapies.
A 15% tip is already added to the cost, but if you are very satisfied with your massage, you may leave cash in the therapist’s envelope at the front desk, or add it to the room charge or credit card slip.
You may undress to your level of comfort, and we will always provide modest draping during the massage. Some may want to fully undress, while others may want to keep their underwear on.
