While a solo massage is great for switching off, sometimes it’s simply more fun to spa together and try one of the best couples massages in London. To gossip with a friend while sweating it out in the sauna. Or sip a glass of pre-treatment Champagne with a loved one. Yes, even to have those knots gently unkinked while lying on beds side by side. Many spas offer special packages for couples, so whether you want to splurge on a full day of pampering with a partner or treat a mate on a Saturday afternoon, these are our pick of the most romantic couples’ massages in London.
What are the most affordable couples' massages in London?
Couple's massages can be on the pricier end of the spectrum, but there are deals to be had. Among the most affordable couples' massages is Masaj's 45-minute sessions, starting from £150.
Mayfair Spa at the Four Seasons Hotel London at Park Lane
While many wellness spaces are hidden in basements, the 10th-floor Mayfair Spa stands out for its city views through floor-to-ceiling windows. The couple’s rasul and massage experience takes place in the Sky Suite (the name says it all), kicking off in the double steam room with a fun DIY face and body exfoliation, and mineral-rich mud mask. Relax with a glass of Prosecco while it works its purifying and cleansing magic. After a personalised 60-minute massage, you’ll both leave fully recharged, with baby-soft skin.
Address: Hamilton Place, Park Lane, London, W1J 7DR
Price: from £640 per couple, for 120 minutes

Masaj
‘We fix tension, not your love life’ reads the no-nonsense Masaj website on its couples’ massage offering. All kinds of pairings – friends, flatmates, mother-daughter duos – are encouraged, not just those romantically involved. And the whole set-up is brilliantly flexible, from the length of treatment time (45 to 120 minutes) to the playlist and the amount you want to chat while you’re lying face-down on the bed. One person can opt to have that niggling shoulder tension kneaded out while the other nods off to gentle, rhythmic back strokes.
Address: 10 Charlotte Street, London, EC2A 3DH and 34a Paddington Street, London, W1U 4HG
Price: £150 for 45 minutes, per couple

The Bvlgari Spa at the Bvlgari Hotel London
A private lift will deliver you straight to the self-contained Onyx Spa Suite (it has its own changing area). The first hour is all about downtime: drift between the twin steam showers, the oversized tub with its sleek green onyx backdrop and the dedicated chill-out zone. Then, following a consultation with your therapist, settle in for a 60-minute treatment on side-by-side beds (choose from a hot stone, Swedish or aromatherapy massage). No need to hurry away at the end either: the suite is yours for another half an hour.
Address: 171 Knightsbridge, London, SW7 1DW
Price: from £790 per couple, for 150 minutes

Aire Ancient Baths
From the candlelit baths to the calming orange blossom scent in the air and the historic 17th-century building (it was once the home of author JM Barrie), this spa scores top marks for atmosphere. It also puts the thermal circuit front and centre of the wellbeing experience. The most purse-friendly package is the ‘Escape Together 30’: a 30-minute relaxing massage each time for the pair of you to dip in and out of the baths, which include an invigorating cold plunge Frigidarium, a warm Tepidarium and a saltwater Flotarium, at your own pace.
Address: 2-3 Robert St, Covent Garden, London, WC2N 6BH
Price: £415 per couple, 120 minutes

The Retreat at The Londoner
A world away from the Leicester Square scrum, this subterranean spa centres around the pool, which has a hydro pool to one side and a row of cabanas – the ideal nook for a glass of fizz. The ‘Treatments for Two’ package options include a 60-minute Gold Hydra-Lifting facial (it features a rose-scented gold mask that repairs micro-damage, and a gold sugar scrub for arms and hands) or a Golden Body treatment, both using products by Hungarian luxury skincare brand Omorovicza. It will, quite literally, add a bit of shimmer and sparkle to your life.
Address: 38 Leicester Square, London, WC2H 7DX
Price: £320 per couple, 120 minutes

Ned’s Club Spa at The Ned
There’s nothing run-of-the-mill about this hip members’ club spa, squirred away under The Ned hotel in what was a 1920s bank – and that includes the treatments. It’s rare to see a deep tissue massage as an option for couples, but here you can both lie back side-by-side in one of the best couples' massages in London. From Monday to Friday, spending £200 each also means access to the high-glam, chandelier-lit, green-tiled pool, the wooden sauna and marble steam room.
Address: 27 Poultry, London, EC2R 8AJ
Price: £240 per person for 60 minutes

Asaya Spa at The Chancery Rosewood
It shouldn’t come as any surprise that one of the most anticipated hotel openings of the year has a next-level spa – or that it features a private couples suite with its own hot tub for a champagne-sipping soak. Splash out and reserve it, and the session includes the choice of any 90-minute massage for two: perhaps a bespoke skin brightening ceremony based around Japanese beauty rituals using EviDenS de Beauté products or a NeuroFusion treatment by Moods, a new wellbeing brand making its mark with clinically-proven neuro-aromatics that elevate bodywork. You’ll also get two hours' access to the vitality pool, sauna, steam room, ice bath and 25-metre pool. Pre-book dinner for afterwards at Carbone – one of the hottest restaurant tickets in town.
Address: 30 Grosvenor Square, London, W1K 9AN
Price: £1,100 Monday to Thursday; £1,300 Friday to Sunday

The Lanesborough Club & Spa at The Lanesborough
For when a snatched one or two hours with your favourite person isn’t enough, book the ultimate Couples Retreat spa day. As well as a private steam rasul (slather on warm, skin-nourishing mud), you’ll both be pampered with a 60-minute signature massage and a 30-minute facial. Plus, you can tuck into a healthy two-course lunch at the Club & Spa Restaurant and make the most of the sauna, hammam and hydrotherapy pool. Want to add romance? Arrange a surprise bottle of champagne or a dozen red roses for the treatment room.
Address: 2 Lanesborough Place, London, SW1X 7TA
Price: £700 per couple (150 minutes of treatment time)
