Hot oil massage: a warm escape in the heart of Paris

Some days, all you need is warmth and gentleness. The hot oil massage at Janthra Spa answers exactly that: warm oil, slow and flowing strokes, a soft and peaceful atmosphere. Originating in India, this treatment belongs to a long tradition of oil massage, which we practise with know-how in our spa in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, in Paris’s 6th arrondissement. It is the perfect way to recharge after a day of sightseeing on the Left Bank.

How the session unfolds

After a warm welcome, you are settled comfortably in the treatment room, in a calm and soothing setting. The therapist applies warm oil to the body and links together fluid, enveloping movements. The warmth of the oil naturally invites the body to relax, while the steady rhythm helps the mind slow down. You can share your preferences at any time: areas to focus on, lighter or firmer pressure.

The treatment is available in 30 minutes for a quick break, or in 1 hour, 1 hour 30 and 2 hours for a full, unhurried massage.

The benefits of a warm oil massage

The warmth of the oil helps ease tension and encourages deep relaxation.
The enveloping strokes contribute to soothing stress and mental fatigue.
The oil nourishes the skin, leaving it soft and comfortable.
It is especially comforting in autumn and winter, or after a long flight, when the body craves warmth.

Who is it for?

This hot oil massage is for anyone who prefers gentleness to intensity: people who feel stressed, get cold easily, are tired from a busy schedule or jet lag, or simply want some time for themselves. It also makes a much-appreciated gift. In our duo room, it can be shared with your partner, a friend or a family member. If you prefer a more energising treatment, our traditional Thai massage may suit you better.

Frequently asked questions

All about Hot Oil Massage

How long should my hot oil massage be?

The 30-minute session offers a quick break focused on one area. To fully feel the warmth of the oil and relax the whole body, we recommend 1 hour or 1 hour 30. The 2-hour session is ideal for truly letting go.

What should I wear for an oil massage?

An oil massage is performed directly on the skin, so that the warm oil can be applied to the body. You are settled comfortably and your privacy is respected at all times. Feel free to ask our reception any questions before your session.

Can we enjoy this massage together?

Yes, our duo room lets you enjoy the hot oil massage side by side with your partner, a friend or a family member. Simply choose the duo option when booking.

Are there any contraindications?

If you are pregnant, have a skin condition, an allergy, a health condition or are under treatment, ask your doctor for advice before booking. Please also tell your therapist before the session. For children aged 7 to 15, we offer the Junior Massage, specially adapted to them.
