A four hands massage is a massage done by two therapists at the same time, moving in sync. The pressure is not necessarily stronger, but the experience is more intense, because your brain cannot follow two sets of hands and simply lets go. At Elvara Spa, a four hands massage costs AED 1,200 for 60 minutes and AED 1,600 for 90.
The two therapists agree on the routine before you come in. Often one starts at the shoulders and one at the feet, then they mirror each other on both sides of the body. The strokes are usually long and flowing, close to Swedish or Lomi Lomi technique, so the timing stays smooth.
Guests often say they lost track of where they were being touched. That is the point: the mind stops trying to follow, and relaxation comes quickly. Pressure can still be set from gentle to firm, the same as in any massage.
These are different. A four hands massage is one guest with two therapists. A couples massage is two guests, side by side, each with their own therapist. At Elvara, two guests booking together get 20% off.
It costs more because it takes two therapists' time. People who have tried most other massages often find it worth trying once, especially for a birthday or anniversary. If you mainly want relaxation and prefer to spend less, a 90 minute Lomi Lomi or Elvara Signature gives a long, immersive session with one therapist.
Because two therapists need to be free at the same moment, book ahead, especially for evenings and weekends.
