What an in-villa or yacht massage includes (and how to prepare)

Having a massage at your own villa or on board your boat is one of the most comfortable ways to look after yourself in Marbella: no travelling, no spa schedules and the privacy of your own space. If you have never done it, it is normal to wonder how it works. Here is a step-by-step guide.

What we bring

• A professional folding massage table with cover and cushions.

• Fresh sheets and towels for each guest.

• Oils and products suited to each treatment.

• Soft music if you like, and everything needed to leave the space as we found it.

You do not need to prepare anything beyond the space.

How much space you need

Each table needs about 2 by 3 metres so we can move around it. It can be a bedroom, the living room, a covered terrace or a shaded part of the garden. If it is windy or very hot, we will suggest the most comfortable spot.

Sessions for couples and groups

For celebrations, families or groups of friends we arrange simultaneous sessions with several therapists. Each guest chooses their treatment: relaxing, sports, facial, drainage or wood therapy. We send you a proposal in advance with timings and a fixed price, and coordinate the details with your concierge or butler if you have one.

On board a yacht

In Puerto Banus and other ports along the coast we also treat guests on board. We coordinate pontoon access and the best place to set up the table with the captain or crew, usually on a shaded deck or in a spacious cabin.

For safety and comfort, sessions take place while the boat is moored or at anchor in calm water, never under way.

How to prepare

• When booking, tell us how many guests there are, which treatments you would like and the exact location.

• If you are in a gated community, let us know the name to give at the gate.

• Tell us about any health condition, pregnancy or recent surgery for each guest.

• Avoid heavy meals just before and drink water after the session.

Discretion above all

We work in private villas and boats with complete confidentiality. We arrive on time, in uniform and well presented, set up in a few minutes and clear everything away afterwards. Your day carries on as normal, just far more relaxed.

In short

An in-villa or yacht massage includes all the equipment, needs only a small space and works for one person or a whole group. If you would like to arrange a session, discover our Villa & Yacht Sessions or message us for a tailored proposal.
