Spa Day with Massages

What makes this ritual special, according to Inês

For Inês Oliveira, TOPSPA Spa Trainer, the Day Spa with Massages is an experience designed for anyone who needs more than a quick pause. This Day Spa programme creates a complete journey of care, from use of the spa facilities to the final tea ritual, with treatments that engage the body, face and mind.

Recommended for anyone who…

• Is looking for a more complete spa experience than an isolated massage.
• Feels accumulated tiredness, stress or the need for a longer pause.
• Values a journey combining body care, facial care, massage and a tea ritual.
• Wants to give or enjoy a special and personalised wellbeing experience.

Inês Oliveira’s perspective

There are moments when an individual massage feels good, but the body asks for more time. During the Day Spa with Massages, I feel that the experience begins as soon as the client enters the spa environment, receives the welcome drink and realises that nothing needs to be rushed. This initial time is important because it helps the person gradually leave the pace of the outside world.

Throughout the programme, each stage has a purpose. Body exfoliation prepares the skin and awakens a feeling of renewal. The mini facial allows the face to receive personalised care. The Abhyanga massage with warm oil then brings a more enveloping and continuous rhythm that helps the body slow down. The Indian Head Massage is often the moment when the mind finally yields.

I like to adapt small details to the person: the aroma of the oils, pressure intensity, room comfort, the mini-facial option and the pace between treatments. It is not an automatic sequence. It is a journey that must make sense for the person experiencing it.

At the end, the tea ritual closes the experience calmly. The intention is for the client to leave feeling more serene, cared for and with the sense of having had genuine time for themselves.
