What it is
A relaxing massage — sometimes called a Swedish massage — uses long, flowing strokes, gentle kneading and light-to-medium pressure over the whole body. The goal isn't to dig into knots; it's to slow your nervous system down and let your body remember what calm feels like.
It's the treatment we most often recommend as your first massage in Las Terrenas — after a long flight, a day at the beach or a week of exploring Samaná, it resets you head to toe.

The benefits
Better circulation
Gentle strokes boost peripheral blood flow, so muscles warm up, soften and feel lighter afterwards.
Less muscle tension
Firm-but-soft pressure disperses the build-up from desk posture and overuse — cutting tension off at the root.
Eases stress
A calm room and unhurried touch slow everything down, easing everyday stress and leaving you more settled.
Deeper sleep
Relief from stress and postural tension makes it easier to drift off and rest deeply that night.
Relieves aches
As each muscle layer is stimulated, the body opens up and everyday stiffness settles.
A true reset
An unhurried hour with nothing to do leaves you calmer, lighter and more present for the rest of your trip.
The oils we use
Coconut
Deeply moisturising and naturally antibacterial — glides beautifully for long, soothing strokes.
Almond
Rich in vitamins, absorbs quickly for lasting hydration without clogging pores. (Nut-based.)
Jojoba
Closest to skin's natural oils — non-greasy and gentle, ideal for sensitive skin.
Aroma blends
Lavender & chamomile to calm, or eucalyptus & peppermint to revive — your choice.

Relaxing massage — FAQ
How long is a relaxing massage?
You can choose 60 or 90 minutes. Ninety gives more time for the back, shoulders and legs at an unhurried pace.
Is it a firm massage?
It's light-to-medium pressure by design. If you want firmer, focused work on knots, our deep tissue massage is the better fit.
Can you come to my villa?
Yes — the relaxing massage is available as in-villa mobile service anywhere in Las Terrenas. Share your address when you book.
