Aromatherapy Massage
A Sensory Journey with Botanical Oils
What is Aromatherapy Massage?
Aromatherapy massage blends classic massage strokes with pure botanical essential oils. Lavender, chamomile, eucalyptus and bergamot work in two ways at once — through the skin and through scent — carrying you into a deep state of calm.
At Relax Spa VIP your session starts with a short scent consultation: depending on what your day calls for, we choose a calming, balancing or uplifting blend. Oils are properly diluted in carrier oils, with options for sensitive skin.
The 60-minute session moves at a slow, rhythmic pace. It is one of the most requested treatments at our İskenderun spa for quieting a busy mind, supporting a better night's sleep and gently releasing the body.
Benefits of Aromatherapy Massage
Regular sessions can have many positive effects on your body and mind.
Quietens a Busy Mind
Calming scents support the relaxation response and help the mind slow down.
Supports Sleep
Oils such as lavender can make drifting into restful sleep easier after an evening session.
Cares for the Skin
Natural carrier oils moisturise the skin and leave it feeling silky after the session.
Supports Circulation
Rhythmic strokes support blood flow and gently revive the body.
Pure Botanicals
We work with pure plant essential oils, never synthetic fragrance — your blend is chosen for you.
Balances the Mood
Scent works directly on the senses, helping the day's tension feel lighter.
Techniques We Use
Scent Selection
A brief pre-session chat determines your oil family: calming, balancing or revitalising.
Warming Effleurage
Long, flowing strokes work the oil into the skin and prepare the body.
Aromatic Pressure Points
Slow, medium-depth presses release tight spots across the shoulders, neck and back.
Lymph-Direction Strokes
Gentle movements directed toward the heart support lymph flow and leave a feeling of lightness.
Deep-Breath Finish
The session closes with a few guided deep breaths that anchor the scent's effect.
How Does Your Session Go?
At Relax Spa VIP you enjoy an experience prepared just for you.
1. Scent Consultation
Your therapist listens to what you need, asks about skin sensitivity and selects the blend with you.
2. Preparation
Soft light, gentle music — you settle in while your chosen oil is warmed.
3. The Aromatherapy Session
For 60 minutes the whole body is worked with slow, rhythmic strokes; scent and touch move together.
4. Rest & Tea
You rest for a few minutes with herbal tea while the oil settles into the skin.
Good to Know
Answers to what guests ask most about this service.
We use pure botanical essential oils — chiefly lavender, chamomile, eucalyptus and bergamot. Before the session we choose the blend together, based on your scent preference and what your day calls for.
Yes — we keep gentler, low-concentration blends for sensitive skin. If you have a known allergy, tell us before the session; we can suggest an oil-free alternative if needed.
Evenings are ideal for sessions with calming oils, as they can ease you into sleep. Energising blends suit daytime visits when you want to feel refreshed.
