Wow. Hot stones. Who would have thought that relaxation could be found in a hot stone. Hot stones on your face, back, butt, thighs, feet – ok. We’re turning you on, but then again, one does feel kinda’ turned on when at Shofah Spa.
While the massage hub offers various all massages to anyone coming alone, the place is pretty much made for you to come with your lover. Couple massages are the way to go at Shofah Spa, and so we took a plus one and indulged in the procedure.
This is how it goes when you take a package deal at Shofah
1. You come in and are warmly welcomed by a the smell of all kinds of organic oils and the Shofah Spa people swap your shoes in exchange for white slippers.
2. You are asked to fill out a simple form where you indicate how strong your massage should be.
3. You are told to pick your massage oil from a range of different scents eg. orange-coconut, lavender, olive-oil thyme; all homemade.
4. You are taken through to the romantic spa to your ‘room’ which in our case was the ‘VIP room’ also known as the couples room. We prefer to leave it at VIP though.
5. You change your clothes into an authentic Thai looking bathrobe and are escorted to the ‘foot wash bath.’
6. Your feet are washed and peeled.
7. You are escorted back to your room where you make eyes with your lover who smirks at you.
8. You are massaged for 1.5 hours. In this time you forget the world outside and just enjoy the massage, knowing your lover is doing the same. Its awesome.
9. You are calmly woken up by your masseuse (at this point you feel like a super relaxed, stoned version of yourself)
10. You are escorted to the sauna where you are given 30 minutes to be alone with your lover. No more to be said.
11. You are given freshly cut fruits and tea to wake you up from this dream. Yes. The word ‘you’ is in focus here, because thats what this place is all about – making you feel royal.
Treatments include: The wide range of massages at Shofah range from Swedish, Thai, Ayurveda and (what’s probably the most impressive), a pregnancy massage. Other offers at the spa include peelings, face treatments, jacuzzi hypotherapie, and all kinds of recommended package deals (see the list of prices here).
We also love… the Shofah Spa claims to be the only place in Vienna to have a massage bed made for pregnant ladies (with a hole for the stomach).
