English Hotel Offers Romantic Massage on Valentine's Day

A nice touch (literally!) for couples looking for a romantic getaway in England: The Spa at Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire will invite couples to learn the art of massage on February 14. By booking a one hour Aphrodisiage session, couples will receive training and education in oils and massage to take home and apply.

Using Cupid's Essence, a bespoke aromatherapy blend, couples will spend an hour with their own therapist learning about the oil blend and its history. They will then be guided in massage strokes and take it in turn to practice on one another, with a final tutorial on a short routine. The Cupid’s Essence is a combination of sweet orange, helping to create a positive outlook; bergamot to release stress and tension; sandalwood, a sedative and masculine fragrance; and rose, a feminine scent to enliven the heart; and a base of grape seed oil for massage.

Best of all: Those who extend their visit with an overnight stay will receive a bottle of the Cupid’s Essence to take home.

Reservations may be made through the spa.
