Hot Stone Massage at Castle European Spa At Castle European Spa, Hot Stone Massage is a refined European ritual that melts muscular tension and settles the nervous system with precise, temperature-controlled basalt stones. Our therapists are European-trained and follow luxury spa protocols from the first greeting to the final after-care, ensuring comfort, privacy, and immaculate hygiene at every step. Your session begins with a brief consultation to understand your focus—deep relaxation, targeted relief for the back and shoulders, or a full-body reset after travel. Smooth volcanic stones are warmed to an exact, skin-safe temperature and placed along key points of the spine, hips, and shoulders to encourage circulation and diffuse deep muscular holding. With steady, flowing strokes, the therapist then glides oiled stones over the body, alternating between hands-on work and stone-assisted techniques to soften fascia and coax tension out gradually, without “fight or flight.” Every detail reflects European standards: precise draping, quiet and respectful communication, consistent pressure that’s adjusted to your preference, and stones sanitized to clinical guidelines between treatments. The room is kept at a restful temperature; lighting and music are curated to slow the breath and quiet the mind. The result is a heavy-limbed calm, a looser back and neck, and a deep sense of warmth that lingers long after the treatment ends. What you can expect Deep muscular easing in the back, neck, and hips without aggressive pressure Improved circulation and a soothing, full-body warmth that releases stress layer by layer Softer, more supple tissue as heat allows the therapist to work with less intensity and more effect A calmer nervous system—ideal for poor sleep, desk tension, or post-flight stiffness Choose 60 minutes for a focused back-of-body reset, or 90 minutes for an unhurried, full-body ritual with extra time for the back, scalp, feet, and hands. On request, we can add a brief cold stone contrast for the face or shoulders to refresh and reduce post-massage heaviness, or pair the treatment with a subtle aromatherapy blend for mood support. Your therapist will close with simple after-care—hydration guidance, a few easy stretches, and recommendations to extend the benefits at home. This is hot stone therapy delivered with European professionalism: clean technique, quiet confidence, and attentive care in a truly luxurious setting. Good to know: Hot Stone Massage is a wellness service, not a medical treatment. Please inform us of pregnancy, circulatory issues, recent injuries, diabetes-related neuropathy, varicose inflammation, skin conditions, or sensitivity to heat so we can adapt temperature, placement, and pressure for your comfort and safety.
