Sensual massage in your Schiphol hotel room
Sensual massage is the unhurried full-body work the rest of this menu is built on: slow, warm, hands only, given at a pace that assumes you have nowhere to be for the next hour. It suits a body that has been folded into a seat and held there, where the trouble is less a knot in one shoulder than a general refusal to switch off.
Origin and history
The strokes underneath it are Swedish, the effleurage-and-kneading vocabulary Per Henrik Ling systematised in Stockholm in the early nineteenth century, still the grammar of almost every oil massage given anywhere. What the sensual version changes is not the hands but the clock: the same sequence at a third of the speed, with none of the diagnostic stopping and starting a clinical treatment does.
The technique
Contact is not broken once it starts, where one stroke ends the other hand has already taken over, which is most of why the hour stops registering as a sequence of separate events. She works long and flat-palmed along the back and down the legs, the forearm taking over wherever a thumb would be too sharp for a body this dry. Pressure is set in the first two minutes and then left alone.
What to expect
She arrives with warm oils and fresh towels, and the first few minutes go to nothing in particular, the lights, the temperature, a short exchange in whichever language is easier for you. The work begins along the back and the length of the legs, even and slow, with enough pressure to be felt and not so much that a dehydrated body objects to it. Somewhere in the second half the breathing changes and most people stop tracking the time. It ends when the booked hour ends, without a bell and without a hurry.
Who it suits
The booking for a body that is finished rather than injured, which is the state most people land in after a long sector. It is also the safe first choice if you have a night in a hotel room and no particular idea what you want from it.
Benefits
You leave loose rather than worked over, and closer to the local hour than you were, which for most travellers is the difference between lying awake until four and sleeping through to the alarm.
In your room, and only in your room. There is no studio and no incall option: the therapist travels to your hotel or apartment anywhere in central Amsterdam in forty to sixty minutes, the same figure in every district, and to the Schiphol airport hotels by arrangement, on enquiry.

Sensual Massage, the fare
The number you are quoted is the whole bill, and on most bookings half of it goes ahead as a deposit. A pair on one guest arrives together and bills twice the single hourly rate, and ninety minutes is billed at one and a half times the single hour.
Before you
ask
I will probably fall asleep halfway through. Is that a problem?
No, and it happens in this one more than in any of the others. She keeps working, lighter, and the hour runs as booked, nobody is woken up to be told the time. If you have a flight to make, give her the alarm you need and she will work to it.
Can it be booked for two of us in the same room?
Yes. A couple with two therapists pays four times the single hourly fare for every hour, and for the whole night twice what a single guest pays for the four-hand night. Sharing one therapist between you costs half of that by the hour, and twice the single overnight for that night.
Does it need a bigger room than the one I have?
No. It is given on the bed over her own towels, so an airport single works as well as anything larger. Nothing is set up beforehand and nothing is left behind afterwards.
Is sensual massage the quietest option if the walls feel thin?
It is the quietest format on the list. There is no equipment to set out, nothing to rinse off, and very little talk once the work begins, so nothing about the hour carries into the corridor. If a neighbour's television is the bigger worry, ask her to bring the session towards the far side of the bed.
