What californian massage involves
The Californian massage is a full-body massage done with long, slow, connected strokes and warm oil. Instead of working area by area, the therapist links back, legs, arms and shoulders in one continuous sequence, so the massage feels like a single movement. It was born on the California coast in the sixties and seventies, among the movements that sought a more mindful, enveloping kind of massage.
Pressure goes from light to medium and the pace is unhurried: it does not aim to undo a knot, but to relax deeply and help you feel your body as a whole again. The therapist comes to your home, hotel or villa with couch, linens and oils. If you like the relaxing massage but want something more fluid and complete, it is the natural choice.
Benefits of californian massage
- Deep relaxation of the whole body
- Long, connected strokes with no breaks
- Helps release built-up tension
- Supports a feeling of calm and rest
- No travel: at your home, hotel or villa
Who is it for?
Anyone after a complete, enveloping massage to switch off, with no specific knot to treat.
How it compares
It shares the calm of the relaxing massage, but the Californian one links the whole body in long, continuous strokes instead of working area by area. If what you have is a specific knot, the deep tissue massage is better.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Californian massage?
A full-body oil massage where the strokes are long, slow and connected, so it feels like one continuous movement. Its aim is deep relaxation.
How is it different from the relaxing massage?
Both aim for calm, but the Californian one travels the whole body with no breaks between areas, using broader, more enveloping strokes.
Does it help with a knot?
That is not its aim: pressure is light to medium. For localised tension the deep tissue massage is better.
How much does it cost?
The session costs €100 for 60 minutes and €140 for 90 minutes. To confirm the booking you pay a 20% deposit through a secure payment link; the rest at the end of the session. For the couples massage the price is per person.
Do I need to prepare anything at home?
No. You just need a quiet space; the therapist brings the couch, linens and oils.
