Couples massage: an affordable Valentine Day’s treat
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Nothing says love between paramours more than stretching out sans clothes in a quiet room filled with soothing music … and having strangers dig their elbows into the small of your back.
Couples massages are commonly offered at day spas, and some are pitching Valentine Day’s specials. You and your sweetheart relax on (separate) tables while a pair of masseuses do their thing.
Spa On Paces in Buckhead offers a $153 two-fer that includes fruit, champagne and wine. Eat, drink and be sedentary.
The Art Of Touch in Midtown tosses in a wicker basket gift with a choice of three types of massages beginning at $115. (There’s a fourth, called Barefoot and Pregnant, for the expectant missus and her mate.)
If you don’t mind handling some of the heavy labor yourself, Natural Body Spa provides a $120 rub-a-dub with instructions on how you can replicate it at home.
Have you splurged on a couples massage? What did you think? Got a favorite spa?
The best online source for those new to the guilty pleasures of a massage is SpaFinder, a clearinghouse for many metro Atlanta spas for easy price comparison. Last I looked, 74 were listed.
The couples massage is an unusual shared experience: no conversation, no eye contact. But you walk out in such a good mood that the rest of the day will hold great promise, romantic and otherwise
