What a Home Spa Is

A home spa service temporarily transforms your space into a treatment environment. Don’t expect portable jacuzzis or inflatable saunas. That would be a novelty, not quality.

What you can expect:

Professional treatments: Massages, facials, body care, performed by therapists with the same training as top spas.

Quality equipment: Professional tables, premium products, all necessary material for a high-level experience.

Careful environment: Lighting, music, aromas. Therapists transform your space with attention to detail.

Total privacy: The fundamental difference from traditional spa. You’re at home, without other people, without passing staff, without checkout times.

How It Works

The process is simple:

1. Choose treatments: Individual massage, couples, facial, combinations. Define what you want to experience.
2. Set date and time: Flexibility is one of the advantages. Sunday morning, Friday night, Wednesday late afternoon. Adapts to your life.
3. Prepare the space: Minimally. Just have a room available with space for the table. Therapists handle the rest.
4. Therapists arrive: They arrive at scheduled time with all equipment. In 15-20 minutes, space is transformed.
5. The experience: Enjoy chosen treatments in the comfort of your home.
6. Post-treatment: The team clears everything away and exits without disturbing the atmosphere. You stay in the comfort of home, ready for the sofa, bed, or whatever comes next.

Advantages Over Traditional Spa

No travel: Time you’d spend going to and from the spa can be used to extend relaxation. In Porto, between traffic and parking, you’d easily lose 40-60 minutes just on logistics.

Flexible schedules: Spas have operating hours. At home, you can book for 9pm or 7am, if that suits you.

Real privacy: At a spa, even in private treatment, there are other people in the building. You cross paths with strangers in hallways, hear doors closing. At home, you’re truly alone.

Your environment: The temperature you like, the music you prefer, the ideal light level. You don’t adapt to the space. The service adapts to you.

Natural continuity: The most valuable moment at a spa is post-treatment, when the body is in deep relaxation. At a spa, that moment is interrupted: you have to dress, leave, drive. At home, you can go directly to the sofa or bed.

Personalized experience: At a spa, treatments follow standard protocols. At home, there’s more flexibility to adapt to your specific preferences.

How Much Space You Need

Less than you imagine. A professional table occupies about 2×1 meters. With space for the therapist to work, you need an area of approximately 3×2.5 meters.

Where you can set up:

• Living room (moving some furniture aside if needed)
• Master bedroom
• Office
• Covered outdoor space (large balcony, conservatory)

For a couples massage, you need space for two tables side by side, about 4×3 meters. Read our full guide on how to prepare your home for the session.

Creating the Home Spa Experience

With the right service, you can create a truly special experience:

Prepare beforehand: A hot bath, a cup of tea, calm music. Enter the relaxation mindset before the therapists arrive.

The environment: Adjust the temperature, close curtains, turn off notifications. When the therapists set up equipment and adjust the lighting, your space transforms.

The treatments: Enjoy without rush. There is no next client waiting, no checkout at 6pm. The time is yours.

The after: This is where the home advantage becomes clear. You can stay in a robe, eat something light, watch a film, go to bed early. The state of wellbeing extends through the entire evening.

Ideal Occasions

Birthdays and special dates: Instead of going to a spa, bringing the spa home adds an element of exclusivity. You can personalise the experience with champagne, candles, and treatments chosen specifically for the occasion.

Hen parties: A group experience without the logistics of coordinating spa visits. Multiple therapists work simultaneously, and the group enjoys the comfort of a private home or rental.

Pre-wedding: Relaxing before the big day, in the comfort of home. Ideal for brides and grooms who want to arrive at the wedding without accumulated tension.

Post-travel recovery: After a long flight or intense work week, restore without additional effort. The massage addresses jet lag and muscular fatigue from long journeys.

Regular self-care: For those who make wellbeing a priority, regular home sessions are more sustainable than repeated spa visits. You can maintain a weekly or biweekly routine without reorganising your schedule. Learn about the benefits of regular massage.

For Groups

Home spa experiences can accommodate groups of 3-6 people. Popular for:

• Birthday celebrations with friends
• Mother-daughter experiences
• Workplace team events (at someone’s home or office)
• Holiday gatherings where everyone deserves to relax

Multiple therapists arrive with equipment for simultaneous treatments, or sessions rotate while others enjoy refreshments and conversation. The flexibility of the home setting means you can design the experience around your group’s preferences, from music to treatment types to timing. Contact us for group pricing and availability.

Prices

Home spa prices vary according to chosen treatments:

• Individual massage 60 min: from €95
• Individual massage 90 min: €100-140
• Couples massage 60 min: €170-220
• Facial treatment: €60-90
• Massage + facial package: €120-160
• Premium experiences: €200+

Compare with the cost of a hotel spa day (€200+) plus travel, parking, and meals. A home spa often offers better value for money.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I have multiple treatments in the same session?

Yes. Many clients combine massage with facial treatment, or do longer sessions using multiple techniques such as Swedish followed by deep tissue on specific areas. You can discuss the ideal combination with the therapist when booking.

How long does it take to prepare the space?

15-20 minutes to set up the professional table, arrange sheets and towels, and prepare the environment with lighting and music. This time is included in the service and does not count toward your session duration.

Can I give this as a gift?

Yes. Home spa vouchers are a popular gift for birthdays, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, and other special occasions. Check our complete gifting guide for ideas on presentation and choosing the right package.

Do I need to have anything at home?

Just the available space, roughly 3×2.5 metres for an individual session. Therapists bring all equipment and products: professional table, cotton sheets, towels, massage oils, and ambient accessories.
