Why Aru's Japanese Experience is a Must-Try for Couples

The Japanese Experience for Couples at Aru Spa and Salon in Surrey is one of the most romantic and relaxing spa services you can experience. In our fast-paced lives, finding time for deep, meaningful connection with our partners can feel like a luxury. Between balancing careers, family, and personal goals, it’s easy for romance to take a backseat. That’s why when you do carve out time together, it should be nothing short of magical. Enter Aru's Japanese Experience for Couples—a serene, indulgent experience that combines ancient Japanese traditions with luxurious touches to create the perfect setting for romance and relaxation.

A Journey Inspired by Tradition and Intimacy

At the heart of the Japanese Experience for Couples is an experience rooted in centuries-old traditions of wellness and connection. This treatment isn’t just about pampering—although there’s plenty of that. It’s about creating an environment where you and your partner can truly reconnect, both with yourselves and with each other.

The experience begins the moment you enter Aru's exclusive couple’s suite. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with soft lighting, delicate scents of essential oils, and the sound of gentle, trickling water. The attention to detail sets the mood for what’s to come—two hours of blissful, uninterrupted time together.

Japanese Experience Begins: Side-by-Side Exfoliation

One of the standout features of this ritual is that it’s designed for couples to enjoy side-by-side. You’ll start on heated massage tables, cozied up next to your partner, as skilled therapists begin with a soothing full-body exfoliation. Not only does this gentle scrub polish your skin to perfection, but it also encourages relaxation from head to toe. The act of unwinding together in such a serene setting already begins to build a sense of connection.

For me, this part of the treatment was surprisingly bonding. There’s something intimate about experiencing the same sensations at the same time—feeling the warmth of the heated table, the rhythmic, sweeping motions of the scrub, and knowing your partner is right there with you, going through the same process. It sets the tone for everything that follows.

The Path of Rose Petals: A Bath Fit for Romance

After the exfoliation, you and your partner are guided along a path sprinkled with rose petals to a private Japanese bath. This is where the magic really starts to happen. The bath is drawn with warm water infused with essential oils and scattered with floating red rose petals. As you sink into the water, the soothing scent envelops you, melting away any lingering stress.

The bath isn’t just a pretty picture (though it is very Instagram-worthy); it’s also therapeutic. The essential oils are carefully chosen to promote relaxation, reduce tension, and open up the senses. Sharing this moment of quiet reflection in such a romantic setting can be a deeply connecting experience.

In the words of one guest:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “The Japanese bath was an absolute dream. It’s one of those moments where you feel like you’ve stepped into a romance novel. My husband and I felt completely at ease and more in sync than we’ve been in a long time.” – Patricia L.

Side-by-Side Relaxation Massage: Releasing Tension, Together

After the bath, you return to the heated massage tables for a side-by-side relaxation massage. The therapists work in perfect harmony, ensuring that you and your partner experience the same treatments simultaneously. The massage itself is deeply soothing, with techniques focused on easing muscle tension and promoting circulation.

One of the things I appreciated most was the synchronization of the treatments. When you and your partner experience relaxation at the same pace, it creates a shared sense of tranquility that lingers long after the treatment ends. There’s no rushing to catch up with each other’s energy—you’re on the same wavelength.

One review sums it up perfectly:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “My partner and I have done couples massages before, but this one was something else. The therapists were so in tune with each other, it felt like a perfectly choreographed dance. We both walked out feeling light, peaceful, and completely connected.” – Julia R.

The Eastern-Inspired Relaxation Lounge: A Moment to Savor

The experience concludes in the spa’s relaxation lounge, a tranquil space with eastern-inspired décor, soft cushions, and the delicate scent of green tea. You’re invited to unwind with a cup of tea while soaking in the peaceful atmosphere. This final moment allows you to let the experience fully sink in—no rush, no interruptions, just a quiet space to sit side by side, savoring the stillness.

It’s these small touches that elevate the experience from great to unforgettable. Even after the treatments are complete, you’re given time to enjoy each other’s company in a space designed for relaxation. It’s a perfect reminder that sometimes, the simplest moments are the most meaningful.

Why the Japanese Experience is Perfect for Today’s Couples
