Couples Spa Treatments

243 Hampshire St, Cambridge, MA 02139 (map)

Some couples like to cook together; others like to be cooked together. Reserve a private hot tub for two and experience a warming, steaming, muscle-relaxing hydrotherapy session. Bring an MP3 player or CDs to personalize the soundtrack, and strip down to whatever you feel is most personally therapeutic (ahem). Make it a double date--the tub can hold four--if you're feeling extra cozy.

No need to rush things at the no-holds-barred hotel's purringly luxurious spa. Reserve the designated Sanctuary Couples Suite for side-by-side treatments in complete ooh-aah privacy. Two massage beds, private vanity area and a soaking tub provide the fundamentals for any two- or three-hour experience, which is commenced by a welcoming, intimate foot ritual.

Whether you're just visiting for the day or stopping over from your Charles Hotel suite, the Couples Spa Interlude should hit the spot. In parallel synchrony, you each experience a custom manicure-pedicure and an extensive therapeutic massage. With muscles relaxed and extremities polished, taking the world by storm is the natural next step, yes?

Although it's called the Mother-Daughter Bonding Package, the two-and-half-hour dual marathon of basic facial, citrus body polish, half-hour deep tissue massage and eyebrow shaping can be customized and tweaked for any relaxing, romantic couples day-out. However, our theory is that great eyebrows on both of you will spark a little something extra once you get back home.

Let's just say that the disposable spa underwear is, well, optional for the downright interactive Rasul Signature Ceremony. Strip down to your barest and smother each other with exotic muds (different types for different body parts) minus attendant in an elaborately tiled therapeutic steam chamber constructed precisely for this treatment. After mudslinging-massaging, sit back in heated chairs and wash off during the finale, a tropical rain shower.
