Hot Stone Massage

The Hot Stone Massage is a deeply soothing 90-minute therapy that combines traditional massage techniques with the therapeutic warmth of smooth, heated volcanic basalt stones. This ancient healing practice has been used for thousands of years across many cultures.

The basalt stones are selected for their exceptional ability to retain heat. They are heated in a professional stone warmer to the optimal temperature (between 50-55°C) and carefully tested before being placed on the body. The therapist positions stones on key energy points along the spine, on the palms of the hands, between the toes, and on other strategic areas. The penetrating warmth radiates deep into the muscles, expanding blood vessels and improving circulation throughout the body.

In addition to the placement stones, the therapist uses heated stones as massage tools — gliding them along the muscles with flowing, rhythmic strokes. The combination of sustained heat and skilled pressure allows for deeper muscle relaxation without the intensity of deep tissue work. The warmth essentially does the heavy lifting, melting away tension and stiffness that would otherwise require much more aggressive techniques.

The 90-minute session is divided into focused work on the back, shoulders, neck, legs, arms, and feet. The experience is profoundly grounding and meditative — many guests describe a state of deep, almost trance-like relaxation.

Benefits include: deep muscle relaxation and pain relief, improved blood and lymph circulation, reduced stress and anxiety, relief from symptoms of autoimmune conditions, better sleep quality, reduced inflammation, and a profound sense of warmth and comfort that lasts long after the session.

Hot Stone Massage is ideal for guests who prefer warmth-based therapies, those with chronic muscle tension, and anyone seeking a longer, more immersive spa experience.
