About the treatment

What Is a Swedish Massage?

Swedish massage is the world's most popular relaxation massage. Your therapist uses long gliding strokes, kneading and gentle circular movements with warm oil to relax the muscles and calm the nervous system.

At Mandara Spa, every session begins with a short chat about your preferred pressure and any areas that need extra care, so the massage feels exactly right for you. It's an ideal choice after a long flight or a full day exploring Istanbul's historic peninsula.

Swedish Massage FAQ

Is Swedish massage good for first-timers?

Yes. Its gentle, flowing technique makes it the ideal first massage. Your therapist will check in on the pressure so you feel comfortable throughout.

What's the difference between Swedish and deep tissue massage?

Swedish massage focuses on overall relaxation with lighter, flowing strokes. Deep tissue massage uses slower, firmer pressure to target deeper muscle layers and stubborn knots.

What should I wear?

You can undress to your comfort level. We provide fresh towels and keep you covered throughout, uncovering only the area being massaged.

Can I book a Swedish massage for two?

Of course. You can enjoy it side by side as a couples massage. Just let us know on WhatsApp when booking.
