Essential Oil Aroma Massage in Business Bay

A light-pressure, full-body massage built around hand-blended essential oils, chosen with you before the session starts.

60 minutes
AED 450
90 minutes
AED 650

The Essential Oil Aroma Massage is Luxury SPA’s lightest full-body treatment, built around a hand-selected essential oil blend as much as the massage technique itself. Before the session starts, your therapist talks through a few scent options with you, then works slow, gentle strokes across your back, shoulders, arms, legs and feet using that oil. It suits guests who want a calm, sensory session rather than firm muscle work. Sessions run 60 or 90 minutes, from AED 450.

What happens in the session

The session opens with a short conversation about how you want to feel, calm and sleepy, or brighter and more alert, so the therapist can choose a matching oil blend from options such as lavender, rosemary or citrus. From there, the massage moves in slow, even strokes across the full body, staying light throughout rather than building toward firmer pressure. The 90-minute version covers the same areas as the 60-minute session, simply at a slower pace with more time on each one. A warm towel finishes the session, helping the oil and scent settle into the skin before you get up. Lighting stays low throughout the session.

How the pressure feels

This is the gentlest pressure level on the signature menu: light, continuous strokes rather than kneading or targeted pressure. Most guests describe it as calming rather than intense, and it leaves no soreness afterward. If you are hoping for pressure that reaches into a genuinely tight muscle, the Tension Relaxation Massage uses medium pressure for that purpose, and the Deep Muscle Relaxation Massage goes further still. This treatment works best when relaxation, not muscle relief, is the main goal. Because the strokes stay light and even throughout, there is little risk of any tenderness the next day, which makes it a comfortable choice the evening before an early start.

Who this treatment suits

Guests who want an unhurried, sensory session, whether after a long flight, a day of sightseeing in Downtown Dubai, or simply as a pause in a busy week, tend to enjoy this treatment most. It is a comfortable first massage for anyone unsure about firmer pressure elsewhere on the menu. If you want a similarly gentle experience with more targeted warmth, the Hot Stone Enjoyment Massage is worth comparing. Our therapists can also help you pick between the two before you book, and any therapist on shift can carry out this treatment. Prices are the same every day and every hour, so there is no extra cost for booking an evening slot over an afternoon one.

Preparing for your visit

Come with a rough idea of the mood you want, calming or energising, so the oil consultation moves quickly once you arrive. Luxury SPA is on the ground floor of Millennium Central Downtown, Sheikh Al Asayel Street, Business Bay, open daily from 10 AM to 2 AM. Message or call +971 58 213 4019 on WhatsApp to reserve your session ahead of time. If you would like to pair this with the Izil Diamond Mineralizing Facial on the same visit, mention it when you book so both appointments can be scheduled together.

Essential Oil Aroma: your questions

How is this massage different from the Tension Relaxation Massage?

Both treatments cover the full body, but this one uses lighter pressure and puts more weight on the oil itself, not just the hand technique. Before your session, the therapist asks a few questions about how you want to feel, then selects an oil blend to match, whether that leans toward something calming or something brighter and more energising. The Tension Relaxation Massage uses medium pressure and standard massage oil without this consultation step, and focuses more on working through physical tightness. If you want the lightest, most gentle option on the signature menu, or you simply enjoy scent as part of the experience, this treatment is built around that in a way the tension-focused option is not. Guests deciding between the two often base the choice on scent versus physical relief: pick this one if the smell and sensation of oil matter as much as the touch itself.

Can I choose which essential oil is used?

Yes, your therapist talks through a small number of oil options with you before the massage begins, usually offering choices that lean toward calming notes like lavender or brighter, more energising ones like citrus, with rosemary also available. You do not need to know the names of specific oils in advance; describing how you want to feel afterward, whether relaxed and sleepy or refreshed and alert, is enough for the therapist to suggest a suitable blend. If you have a known sensitivity to a particular scent or ingredient, mention it before the session starts so it can be avoided. The oil is blended fresh and used throughout the full session, on both the 60 and 90-minute durations, and the session finishes with a warm towel to settle the oil into your skin. Any therapist on shift can guide you through the oil consultation, so the choice does not depend on one specific person being on duty that day.

What pressure level should I expect during the session?

Expect the lightest pressure available on the signature menu: slow, gentle strokes rather than kneading or firm work into muscle. The focus stays on the sensation of the oil and the smoothness of the movement rather than working into tight spots. This makes it a comfortable choice if firm massage feels uncomfortable to you, or if you simply want a calmer, more sensory session rather than one aimed at resolving muscle tightness. If your main goal is easing a genuinely tight back or shoulders, the Tension Relaxation Massage or the firmer Deep Muscle Relaxation Massage will do more of that work than this lighter, scent-led treatment. Think of the pressure scale as a spectrum, with this treatment at one end and deep-tissue work at the other, and choose based on which end matches how you feel today.

How long does the session take and what does it cost?

The Essential Oil Aroma Massage runs for 60 minutes at AED 450 or 90 minutes at AED 650, making it the most affordable full-body option on the signature menu. Both durations cover the same areas, your back, shoulders, arms, legs and feet, with the oil consultation built in at the start; the 90-minute session simply allows a slower pace and more time on each area. Both durations use the same light pressure throughout the session and finish with the same warm towel. You can call or message +971 58 213 4019 on WhatsApp to book a time in advance, or check whether a same-day slot is available, and walk-ins are welcome whenever a therapist is free. Pricing stays the same across the week and every hour, with no separate rate for weekends or evenings.

Is this treatment suitable if I want a relaxing session rather than deep muscle work?

Yes, this is the treatment built specifically for guests who want to relax rather than target a tight or sore area. The combination of light pressure and a scent chosen for how you want to feel makes it a good fit for evenings after sightseeing around Downtown Dubai, or simply as a calm break during a busy week. If you find yourself wanting slightly more pressure partway through, mention it to the therapist; small adjustments are always possible. For a firmer, more targeted session, compare this with the Signature Bamboo Fusion Massage, which reaches deeper into muscle using heated bamboo alongside the therapist's hands. Both treatments can be booked back to back with a facial for guests who want a longer, fuller visit rather than a single short session. Mention when you book if you already know which combination you want, so the front-of-house team can schedule the two appointments together without a long gap between them.
