A relaxation massage uses gentle to medium, flowing strokes with warm aromatic oils to calm the body and quiet the mind. It is based on classic Swedish massage technique, with long, continuous movements rather than the deep, focused pressure used to treat muscle knots, release tension, improve circulation and improve physical and mental relaxation.
The goal is simple: to help you feel calm, comfortable and deeply rested. Because it is light and soothing, a relaxing massage suits almost everyone, including first-timers and anyone who finds firmer massages too intense. It is about stress relief and wellbeing, not pain treatment.
A relaxation massage is valued most for how it makes you feel afterwards: lighter, calmer and more at ease. While it is not a medical treatment, the Mayo Clinic notes that massage can be a helpful part of managing stress.

We always keep our descriptions realistic. A relaxing massage may help you feel calmer and sleep more soundly, but we never claim to cure or treat any condition. If you have a health concern, please check with your doctor first.
From the moment you arrive, everything is set up to help you switch off. Your relaxation massage takes place in a calm, private room with soft lighting and soothing music, inside the Montreal Barsha Hotel in Al Barsha.
You can choose from our aromatic oils, and your therapist will tailor the pressure to exactly what feels comfortable for you. Because we are based in Al Barsha 1, near Mall of the Emirates, we are easy to reach from Al Barsha, Barsha Heights, Jumeirah and the surrounding areas, making it simple to fit a relaxing massage into your day.
Not sure which to choose? Here is a simple guide. If your main goal is calm and stress relief, go with a relaxation massage and its gentle, soothing pressure. If you have specific muscle pain, tightness or knots you want worked out, a firmer deep tissue massage is the better fit. If you would like assisted stretching while staying fully clothed, our Thai massage is another lovely option. Still unsure? Just tell us how you feel and we will recommend the right choice.
Want to make it a longer escape? A relaxation massage pairs beautifully with a traditional Moroccan bath, which gently exfoliates and refreshes the skin before you unwind with your massage. It is also a lovely treatment to share, so you can book it as a couples massage and relax side by side. Just mention it when you book and we will help you put it together.
You are also welcome to explore our other treatments, such as our deep tissue massage for firmer pressure, a soothing relaxation massage, or a couples massage to enjoy together. To see everything we offer, visit Orchid Spa Al Barsha.

What is the difference between relaxation and deep tissue massage?
A relaxation massage uses gentle to medium, flowing strokes to calm the body and relieve stress. A deep tissue massage uses firmer pressure to target specific muscle knots and chronic tension. Choose relaxation when you want to unwind, and deep tissue when you have a particular problem area.
Which oils do you use and can I choose?
We use warm, soothing aromatic massage oils. You are welcome to share any scent preferences or skin sensitivities before your session, and your therapist will choose an oil that suits you.
Is it a full body massage?
Yes, a relaxation massage is usually a full body massage covering the back, shoulders, arms, legs and neck. If you would prefer to focus on certain areas or leave others out, just let your therapist know and we will adjust.
