A couples massage is one of the easiest “high-impact” bookings for a date, anniversary, or reset weekend—but it’s also a category where expectations vary a lot.
Before you pay a deposit, make sure you know exactly what you’re getting.
What “couples massage” can mean
In Calgary and Edmonton, couples usually means one of these:
- Same room, side-by-side, same time (classic couples setup).
- Same time, separate rooms (still a couples booking, but different vibe).
- Spa package (massage + facilities access, add-ons, or facial/sauna time).
How to choose the right couples experience
- Want a calm, spa-like date? Choose a place with facilities access (if that’s important to you).
- Want to recover from travel/training? Choose a clinic that emphasizes treatment and therapist expertise.
- Want a surprise gift? Choose a place with clear policies and strong communication (rescheduling, deposits, gratuity).
Questions to ask (copy/paste)
- “Is it the same room at the same time?”
- “Can we choose different pressure levels and styles?”
- “Do you require a deposit? What’s the cancellation policy?”
- “Is gratuity included?”
- “If there’s sauna/steam access, what’s included and how long do we get?”
