The Room

Two tables. One quiet room. Nothing else in it.

Most couples massages in Asheville happen in a spa suite off a busy corridor. This one happens in a sanctuary built for exactly one session at a time. When you reserve for two, the whole room is yours: two tables set side by side, two therapists, and a door that stays closed until you are done.

Arrive together

Come a little early. You will be welcomed, offered a pour of your choosing, caffeine-free herbal tea or simply water, and each of you will talk through what your body needs. Every ritual beyond the massage itself is optional.

One conversation, two briefs

Each of you has your own therapist and your own intake, so one of you can have slow, deep work through the back and hips while the other has something lighter and more restorative. The room is shared. The session is yours.

III

Your own therapist, your own session

The room is shared. The work is not. One of you may want slow, deep pressure through the back and hips; the other, something lighter and more restorative. Each therapist works to the body in front of them, and the two sessions run in the same unhurried rhythm.

Warmth

The signature ninety minutes, side by side. A therapist for each of you, warmed jade and arnica oil, and the same unhurried close in sound and stillness.

Close in stillness

Low light, warm textures, a quiet that is deliberate. Every element of the room is chosen to settle the nervous system, so the last minutes of the session are as still as the first. You leave together, and you leave slowly.

If You Are Searching for an Asheville Spa

A sanctuary, not a spa.

If you are looking for an Asheville spa with a sauna, a salt room, body scrubs and facials, we are not that, and Asheville has good ones. Arash Massage is one private room in the heart of downtown where the only thing on the menu is massage, done with unusual care.

That narrowness is the point. A spa is a building full of treatments. This is a room built around one: slow, deliberate bodywork that works with the nervous system rather than against it, in a space where every surface, sound and degree of light was chosen to help the body settle. For two people who want to do that together, it is a very different afternoon from a spa day.

The sanctuary is one flight above Haywood Street, one block from the Grove Arcade.

Good to Know

Couples questions, answered.

Are we in the same room for a couples massage?

Yes. The sanctuary is one private room with two tables set side by side. You are massaged at the same time, by two therapists, and you leave together.

Can we each have different pressure and focus?

Yes. Each of you has your own therapist and your own intake, so one of you can have slow, deep work through the back and hips while the other has something lighter and more restorative. The room is shared. The session is yours.

Which days are couples sessions available?

Couples sessions are arranged around a second therapist, so they are reserved by text rather than the online calendar. Text (828) 222-3731 with a few days that work for you and we will confirm. Solo sessions are available Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

How far ahead should we reserve a couples massage?

At least 48 hours, and ideally a week or more. Every couples session takes two therapists, and we confirm the second one for each reservation, so the earlier you write, the more days we can offer.

How long should we allow?

Plan on about an hour and three quarters in the sanctuary for the Couples 90, and about an hour and a quarter for the Couples 60. That includes a short welcome and an unhurried close, so nothing feels rushed.

Can we give a couples massage as a gift?

Yes. Gift cards are available in any amount at arashmassage.com/gift-cards and can be used toward a couples session. The recipients reserve their own date.

Is the tea part of the couples session?

Only if you would like it. The welcome pour is yours to choose: caffeine-free herbal tea or simply water. Every ritual beyond the massage itself is optional.

Where are you, and where do we park?

35 Haywood St, Suite 203, one flight up in the heart of downtown Asheville, one block from the Grove Arcade. Street parking on Haywood and the Rankin Ave garage are both close.

Two tables are waiting, one flight up.
