What the La La Land team felt last Sunday at the Oscars when they discovered that they had not actually won the award for Best Picture must have been something similar to something that every child of a neighbor has ever experienced: the end of a massage. The skin is bristling, the hands of the masseur radiate electricity to the pores of the skin, the relaxing music transports you to another place, the dim light relaxes you, the circular and enveloping movements thanks to the essential oils make you sleepy… And of course suddenly. The lightbulb over his head goes on, a towel covers his body and the masseur says “I’ll let you get dressed, I’ll see you outside in a few minutes”. Where has the happiness he felt just a few seconds gone?
Well, now imagine that the statuette is actually for you and that you can decide how long to keep it in your hands. That is precisely the idea behind the latest proposal for the largest spa in Andalusia. The Royal Hideaway Sancti Petri hotel presents this March the infinite massage. It is an ‘endless’ tasting of up to six types of massage that the client himself decides when it ends. No trap or cardboard. Hours and hours (or minutes and minutes) of relaxing, decontracting or physiotherapeutic movements spread over the area of the body that you decide. A volcanic stone massage, a Hindu head massage or even foot reflexology are some of the endless services that can be enjoyed.
To do this, it is not necessary to be a hotel client, as the spa is open to people not staying at the establishment. The only thing to do, explains Toñi Leal, Wellness Personal Assistant at the Royal Hideaway Sancti Petri hotel, is to hold a brief meeting with the specialists so that they can design a tailor-made experience, to accommodate the massages to both needs and tastes. the client’s. “It is decided which and how many massages there will be and the process from one to another is progressive so that it does not cause an impact. All the massages available in the hotel are offered, except for the Thai one,” she says.
But what is not agreed is the duration. “That’s where the excitement lies: you start and it doesn’t end until you decide to,” says the wellness personal assistant. The fundamental thing is not to be shy or fear asking for ‘more’. From the spa they estimate that at least two hours will be the most common.
In any case, the reservation will be subject to availability, since it will require the blocking of staff for a long period. And is that, what happens if the previous client decides not to finish in hours? “We will make an estimate based on the reservations that exist at the beginning. As it is low season, we will still have room for maneuver to know what the trend will be when summer arrives. According to this, we will estimate how long it is convenient to block the cabins and the personnel assigned to it,” clarify Royal Hideaway Sancti Petri. To avoid surprises, they recommend booking a day in advance. Of course, you can enjoy it any day of the week.
But putting an end to contractures, future muscular tensions, improving blood circulation or reducing anxiety in an endless massage has a price that can also be infinite. Its price will be 50 euros for 25 minutes. From there, 1 euro per extra minute will be charged. How much could it cost to leave him as relaxed as a baby?
