How long does a beach massage at The Blue Spice typically last?

Standard treatments are available in 60-minute and 90-minute sessions. A 60-minute traditional Thai massage covers the full body systematically and is sufficient for most guests. A 90-minute session allows for slower pace and more detailed work on specific areas, and is the recommendation for guests with significant tension or specific areas they want more attention paid to. Shorter 30-minute sessions focusing on specific areas (back and neck, feet) are also available.

Do I need to book in advance for a beach massage?

Advance booking is strongly recommended in high season (December to February) and for any groups or couples wanting concurrent treatments. In low season, same-day bookings are often possible, but calling ahead via WhatsApp to check availability is always worth doing. Walk-in treatments are accommodated when slots are available, but there is no guarantee. For couples wanting side-by-side treatments, please book at least 24 hours in advance.

Are the therapists at The Blue Spice certified?

Yes. The massage therapists at The Blue Spice have completed formal Thai massage training and work to a professional standard. The wellness facility is a proper treatment setup rather than an informal beach operation — treatment beds, quality oils, and a structured approach to each session are standard. If you have specific requirements (medical conditions, areas to avoid, specific pressure preferences), please mention these when booking.

Can I have a massage and then have dinner on the same visit?

Yes — combining a beach massage with dinner at The Blue Spice is one of the most popular ways to structure an evening. The typical sequence is: arrive at 4:30–5pm, take a 60–90 minute treatment, then join the restaurant for sunset dining and the fire show at 7:15 PM. This creates a complete evening of wellness and dining without travelling between locations. Book both the treatment and the dinner table when you contact the team.

What is the difference between Thai massage and aromatherapy massage?

Traditional Thai massage is a dry, clothed technique using compression, stretching, and pressure-point activation — it is energising and systematic. Aromatherapy massage uses warm oils infused with essential oils and focuses on fluid, relaxing strokes — it is calming and sensory. Thai massage is more intense; aromatherapy is more gentle. Both are available at The Blue Spice. First-time visitors to Thai massage who are unsure which to choose often find the aromatherapy treatment a more accessible starting point.
