The 8 Best Spas for Couple Massages in Winnipeg That Keep Me Coming Back
Couples massages always seemed so romantic to me—that is until I actually booked a session. The first time, I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to be chatty or silent, and whenever my partner let out an overly dramatic sigh of relief, I couldn’t stop giggling.
But one thing is for sure: it was a positive experience for us. We were able to spend quality time together while destressing, which is why we now carve time out of our schedules for these massages.
So you, too, can enhance your bond with a partner, I made this guide. I’ve rounded up the best spas for couples massages in Winnipeg.
1. Spa Botanica

Website: http://www.spabotanica.ca/
Location: 1459-C Corydon Ave
Operating hours:
Monday-Friday, 9 AM to 8 PM
Saturday-Sunday, 10 AM to 6 PM
Phone: +12044898107
Massage Services: Hot Stone and Swedish Massage
Spa Botanica offers head-to-toe rejuvenation and relaxation services, including couples’ massages. There are two types of treatments you can book with your significant other: the Hot Stone and Swedish Massage.
If you’re hoping to relieve aches and pains in your body, the Hot Stone Massage is a must. They use heated stones to soothe the muscles and relieve discomfort associated with chronic pain conditions, promoting relaxation even after you leave the spa.
The Swedish Massage, on the other hand, uses a combination of light and firm touches, kneading, and tapping to relieve tension and reduce stiffness. It’s not meant to treat specific ailments, but it can help you sleep better at night.
Pro Tip:
If you need to reschedule or cancel, do it at least 48 hours in advance to receive a full refund. You’ll only get a 50% refund for changes within 48 hours of your appointment.
2. Thermea by Nordik Spa-Nature

Website: https://www.thermea.ca/
Location: 775 Crescent Dr
Operating hours: Daily 8:30 AM to 10 PM
Phone: +18552846868
Massage Services: Hydrothermea, Deep Tissue, Hot Stones, Swedish, Mom-to-be, and Guided Thermal Cycle and Massage
Thermea is a wellness retreat where you can spend a weekend (an entire week even) unwinding and rejuvenating. Their range of services includes Hydrothermea, Deep Tissue, Hot Stones, and Swedish Massages, all of which can be enjoyed in Duo Mode.
But for the full experience, I suggest booking the Guided Thermal Cycle and Massage. This sequence of hot and cold treatments is followed by a brief period of rest, and of course, a massage so you feel refreshed and recharged after.
The best part about this spa? You and your partner don’t have to choose the same massage. As long as the durations match, you can book them in Duo Mode.
Pro Tip:
Choose your preferred essential oil to personalize and enhance the experience. They have lavender, eucalyptus, and orange oils.
3. New Leaf Massage Therapy and Sports Rehabilitation

New Leaf is a massage therapy clinic where you can get treatment for stress and various dysfunctions from trained and licensed professionals. It’s perfect for couples who have a very active lifestyle as many of their services target recovery and healing.
For an extra $5, you can add aromatherapy to your massage of choice. They use a blend of essential oils to help you feel calm and relaxed throughout the session.
What I like the most is that they play music. At your request, they can adjust the songs to suit your preference and make the experience even more soothing for you.
Pro Tip:
You can’t book a couples’ massage online. To set an appointment, call or email the clinic in advance.

You can pick from any of their massage services for a couple’s session and fully customize the experience. They’ll use essential oils, hot towels, and body spray moisturizers to promote relaxation.
Here, a 50-minute massage for couples costs $169 while an 80-minute session costs $235. While it’s not the cheapest option, the elevated experience makes it well worth the splurge.

Couples’ massages here are no exception. Before your session, you’ll have the chance to discuss with licensed therapists any areas of concern so they can customize treatment to meet your individual health needs.
While I prefer long sessions, I appreciate that they offer 30-minute massages, perfect for busy bees who need a mid-week pick-me-up.
If you’re getting a couple’s massage, you must book in advance. Thankfully, you can conveniently schedule your appointments through their website.
Pro Tip:
For an added touch of indulgence, consider enhancing your massage with options like aromatherapy or hot stones for a small extra fee.

For couples, they offer 60 and 90-minute massages priced at $220 and $320, respectively. It’s quite expensive compared to other clinics on our list but the personalized care and high-quality customer service make it worth the splurge.
You should arrive at least 15 minutes before your schedule so you can fill out the necessary forms and relax in the lounge. They provide free snacks and other refreshments.

Finding quality massage therapy that won’t break the bank is a rare gem, and that’s exactly what you’ll discover at The Pure Escape. They don’t charge extra for booking a couple’s session, making their already affordable services even more appealing.
For an hour, you only have to pay $100 (plus tax), which is around half the price of what you can get in other clinics. They also do 90 and 120-minute sessions, costing $138.10 and $185.71 respectively.
Another thing I like about this clinic is that you can choose any massage therapy for couple’s sessions. That includes special treatment for specific conditions like sports injuries or pregnancy.

Pocca Pocca is a serene wellness center bringing the art of Japanese therapeutic remedies to Winnipeg. For couples seeking relaxation, they offer four treatments: Classic Massage, Japanese Aroma, Shiatsu, and Pacific Escape.
While Shiatsu is a standout for those who prefer a dry massage, my personal favorite is the Pacific Escape. This treatment goes beyond relaxation, combining soothing oils with skin-nourishing exfoliation, leaving you both refreshed and rejuvenated.
Except for the Pacific Escape, you can book a couple’s massage in 60 and 90-minute sessions.
Pro Tip:
Couples massages can’t be booked online, so give them a call to schedule an appointment.
