Arabic Massage FAQs
A few questions guests often ask before booking this treatment.
How is Arabic massage different from Thai massage?
Arabic massage is entirely oil-based with long, flowing strokes and no stretching, while Thai massage is performed clothed and includes assisted stretches. Both are firm but feel quite different — ask us if you're unsure which suits you.
What oils are used?
We use warming, fragrant massage oils selected for comfort and lasting scent. Let us know if you have any sensitivities when booking.
Will I smell of oil afterwards?
The oils are chosen to leave a pleasant, light fragrance rather than an overpowering scent, and it fades naturally within a few hours.
