Our most-booked combination

Massage and scrub together are more than the sum of their parts. First, a shea and sugar scrub clears dry surface skin and warms the body. Then a deep tissue massage works into tight muscles while your skin is soft and receptive to the oil, so the experience feels deeper and smoother.

It is the treatment guests choose when they want to make a morning of it: relief for the muscles and a glow for the skin in a single visit of two hours.

The order of your visit

  • Consultation about pressure, problem areas and skin
  • Body scrub, then a warm rinse
  • Deep tissue massage with warm oil
  • Tea and rest in the lounge

Why combine them

Booking the two together saves time and gives a smoother progression than coming for each on a different day. If you would prefer a lighter pressure, tell us and we will use a Swedish style instead. The treatment starts at GHS 850 for 120 minutes. It is a good birthday or pre-holiday treat, and a popular add-on to a gift voucher.
