Not sure whether to book a massage or a facial at your retreat? Compare the benefits of a 60-minute combo and a 120-minute signature massage to find your perfect relaxation.
Quick answer
Choose the 60-minute massage and facial combo if you want both skin rejuvenation and muscle relaxation in one session. Choose the 120-minute signature body massage if your priority is deep, full-body stress relief and you have more time to unwind.
What each add-on offers
The COMBO SPECIAL – 60 Mins Massage + 60 Mins Relaxation Facial Massage combines two popular services: a full-body massage and a facial massage designed to improve circulation, tone facial muscles, and reduce signs of aging. It’s a balanced choice if you want to address both body tension and facial glow in a single appointment.
The 120 Minute Signature Body Massage is a longer, uninterrupted treatment that uses aromatherapy and relaxing music to deliver comprehensive stress relief and improved circulation from head to toe. It’s ideal when you want to fully surrender to a prolonged massage experience without switching treatments.
Time and value trade-off
Both options offer significant savings compared to their regular prices. The combo saves over $100, while the signature massage saves nearly $90. However, the combo requires a mental shift midway from body work to facial care, whereas the signature massage maintains a single focus for two full hours.
If you have exactly two hours and prefer variety, the combo delivers two distinct benefits. If you prefer deep immersion in one modality, the signature massage provides uninterrupted relaxation.
How to decide between massage and facial
- Choose the COMBO SPECIAL if...: You want to address both skin health and muscle relaxation in one visit. The 60-minute facial massage targets facial muscles and circulation, while the 60-minute body massage relieves overall tension.
- Choose the 120 Minute Signature Body Massage if...: Your main goal is deep, uninterrupted stress relief. The two-hour session uses aromatherapy to enhance relaxation and gives the therapist more time to work out knots and tension.
- Consider your time and focus: The combo requires switching focus halfway, which some guests find refreshing and others find distracting. The signature massage keeps you in a consistent state of relaxation for the entire session. If you are unsure, ask yourself: do you want variety or depth? That will guide your choice.
