Couple massage in Amsterdam on the evening you both got here

Where it comes from

The two table format grew out of resort spas in the late twentieth century, where the selling point was a shared room rather than anything technical, and it was built around a fixed schedule and a booking desk. The outcall version keeps the simultaneity and drops the rest: no drive out, no robes, no walk back through a reception with wet hair. For two people who see each other four times a year, dropping the rest turns out to be most of the value.

The technique

With one therapist it is a question of sequencing. She alternates rather than divides, so neither partner spends a long unbroken stretch waiting, and the pace stays continuous from one of you to the other. With two it is a question of tempo. The pair agree a shape before they start and work loosely in step, which is about winding down together rather than mirroring each other stroke for stroke. Both arrangements use warm oil and towels the therapists bring themselves, and both work on an ordinary double bed, although two want floor space on either side of it.

What to expect

Say in the first line that there are two of you and which arrangement you want, because everything after that depends on it. With one therapist, she arrives in street clothes with a small bag, lays her own towels over the bed and starts with whichever of you decided beforehand to go first. The other partner stays in the room. With two, they arrive together, set up on either side of the bed or on a second surface alongside it, and agree the shape of the hour between themselves before anything begins. Each therapist states her own limits at the start, in her own words, and each set holds for the whole visit regardless of what anyone else in the room would prefer. Where two are working, neither speaks for the other. The last stretch is paced on both sides together, so nobody is left lying awake beside a session that is still running.

Who it suits

Couples who live in different countries and have three nights in this one. Anyone who would rather the evening happened where they already are than at a fixed hour somewhere across the city. It suits a room with space around the bed when two therapists are booked, and it suits a pair who have already agreed, from two countries, roughly what they want the evening to be. It does not suit a room shared with anyone outside the booking, and it is not a booking the house takes when one partner has not been told about it.

What it is good for

It removes the part of a reunion evening that usually goes wrong, which is going somewhere. The room the two of you are already sharing is the venue, so there is no lobby to cross afterwards and no hour spent looking presentable. With two therapists, the timing is the quiet benefit: one clock across both sessions is what makes the evening read as one thing rather than as two appointments that happened to share a bed.

At your address

Couple massage for two guests in one room in central Amsterdam, one therapist between you or a therapist each, outcall to a hotel or apartment, evenings and small hours alike.

Length

For the two of you with one therapist: 360 euros an hour, 540 for ninety minutes, 720 for two hours, 1,080 for three, and 2,500 for the eight hour block. With a therapist each: 720, 1,080, 1,440, 2,160 and 5,760. Ninety minutes is what most first evenings become and two hours is what most last evenings become. Every booking with two therapists is confirmed with half the fee before anyone sets out.
