Whether it’s a special occasion or you and your honey want some “just because” pampering, Austin has some fabulous options for couple spa treatments. Even the manliest of men can appreciate some good exfoliation and massage once in awhile. Read on to learn how to get couples spa treatments in Austin.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • A significant other
  • A form of payment
  • The desire to relax and be soothed
  1. Step 1

    Know that Myo Massage claims to be “designed for people who know the difference between a good massage and a great one.” And appropriately so. Their specialty is massage and all of their therapists are highly trained and experienced to accommodate all sorts of the body’s needs. Their “Romance Retreat” package, treats couples each with a customized 90-minute massage with your choice of their signature massage oils. Then couples can relax together with wine, chocolates, cheese and fruit. You'll leave Myo at ease, with a bottle of their oil to use at home, in your bath or for massage. This package is 120 minutes for $275. Or to do away with the amenities, their standard couples massage allows you and your loved one to share your massage experience in the same room. Guests can choose any two 60- or 90-minute services and pricing is determined as such. To book, call (512) 472-4696. Myo is located at 1601 E. Fifth Street #107.

  2. Step 2

    If you have time and means to indulge, the Spa at Lake Austin seems destined to accommodate couples and encourage relaxation and rejuvenation. Set in a beautiful location along Lake Austin, you will be pampered from the moment you walk in the door. Herbal teas and water flavored with citrus fruits in complimentary in the locker rooms, and you will have full access to the spa’s steam room, sauna, and Jacuzzi, as well as the outside sunning area. Their “Over the Top for Two” Package is exactly that. The couple can enjoy time together in the spa’s outdoor Bamboo Room, complete with a private hot tub. Then each will experience the Ruby Red Grapefruit Refresher treatment in an outdoor treatment tent, followed by lunch at the Aster Café, where a variety of healthy and delicious dishes are served. After lunch, each will be treated to the 80-minute Ultimate Swedish Massage and a Scalp Massage using essential oils. The day ends with more together time in the spa’s private outdoor suite. The entire package, including gratuity, is $995, and should be booked as far in advance as possible to ensure availability. To schedule an appointment, call (512) 372-7380.

  3. Step 3

    For a less indulgent, but equally satisfying, pampering with your loved one, try the Couples Retreat package at milk + honey, located in Austin’s hip Second Street District. Couples will be together in the spa’s couples room, where they will each enjoy a 60-minute Urban Retreat Massage, a Swedish massage that relaxes tense muscles, followed by a Mini Facial, and a Mini Manicure that ends with a moisturizing paraffin dip. Couples will leave feeling relaxed, soothed, and refreshed. The entire package takes about two hours and is $340.

Tips & Warnings
  • Know that a visit to a spa is not at the forefront of a typical male mind. However, most men will enjoy the experience, as long as you make him feel comfortable and take him to a place that is used to dealing with men. Go to spas that have treatments specific to men, for example, so the likelihood of there being other men there is greater. Seeing other men doing the same thing will make your sweetie that much more relaxed.
