If you’ve never had a couples massage before, you’re in for an experience that’s both relaxing and meaningful. But we get it — if it’s your first time, you probably have questions: What do we wear? Can we talk? Will it be awkward?
At Spa Pure Waikiki, we specialize in making first-timers feel at ease. Whether you’re celebrating an anniversary, on your honeymoon, or just want to unwind with your partner, here’s everything you need to know — plus a few pro tips to get the most out of your visit.
What is a Couples Massage, Really?
A couples massage is when two people receive massages at the same time, in the same private room, by two different therapists.
At Spa Pure, we take it a step further — with tandem treatments like:
- Floating Ocean Massage in a heated saltwater pool
- Detoxifying Ganban Yoku steam dome sessions
- Private spa tub soaks with mineral salts
- Side-by-side table massages (Swedish, Lomi Lomi, Shiatsu, or Sports)
It’s less about small talk and more about shared relaxation. Think of it as a reset button for two.
What Happens During the Appointment?
Here’s a quick breakdown of what to expect when you book one of our Couples Specials:
1. Warm Welcome
You’ll check in, change into robes and slippers, and be shown to your private treatment room. You’ll be asked about pressure preferences, areas of focus, and any injuries.
2. Treatment Time
Your chosen package begins — this might include:
- 30-minute Ocean Massage: floating together in a warm salt pool
- 30–60-minute table massage: your preferred style
- 30-minute tub soak: with relaxing seaweed or salt minerals
- 30-minute steam dome session: to detox and unwind
Therapists communicate clearly and adjust pressure based on your needs.
3. Aftercare
You’ll have time to relax, sip water or tea, and slowly come back to earth. Many couples say they feel closer, calmer, and more connected afterward.
What Should We Wear?
- For Ocean Massage or tub soaks: Bring a swimsuit. You may get partially or fully wet.
- For table massages: You’ll undress to your comfort level in private, and therapists only uncover the area being worked on.
Robes, towels, and slippers are provided — just show up ready to relax.
Pro Tips for First-Timers
✅ Talk beforehand. Decide if you want to chat or stay quiet during the session.
✅ Eat light. Heavy meals before a massage can leave you feeling sluggish.
✅ Arrive early. Give yourself 15–20 minutes to settle in and start relaxing.
✅ Be honest. Let your therapist know what feels good (or doesn’t).
✅ Disconnect. Turn off phones and let yourself be fully present.
