Swedish Massage
Classic full-body relaxation with flowing, medium-pressure strokes.
Massage Therapy
Hawaiian loving-hands massage that flows like a quiet tide.
Lomi Lomi is a traditional Hawaiian massage built around long, continuous strokes that travel the length of the body in one connected, flowing motion. The therapist works mostly with the forearms, moving in a rhythmic, almost dance-like way that rarely lifts away or breaks contact.
The effect is soothing and deeply nurturing. Where firmer styles target single knots, Lomi Lomi softens the whole body at once, easing physical tension while quietening a busy mind. Many guests find the steady, repeating rhythm carries them into a near-meditative calm well before the hour is out.
At Elysium Premium Massage Spa in Business Bay, every Lomi Lomi takes place in a private candle-lit room with calming music and warm aromatic oils. Afterwards you are welcome to stay a while with a cup of tea and something sweet, letting the stillness settle before you step back into Dubai.
Your visit
Here is how your Lomi Lomi unfolds from the moment you arrive until you leave.
You are shown to your private candle-lit room. Because Lomi Lomi is about surrender rather than targeted work, the consultation stays short: a few questions on comfort and pressure, then you simply let go.
You make yourself comfortable on the warmed table as calming music plays and aromatic oils are gently warmed. A few slow breaths help you ease in before the continuous flowing strokes begin.
Using long, rhythmic forearm strokes, your therapist glides over the whole body in one connected, dance-like flow. The motion rarely breaks contact, travelling from shoulders to feet and back, melting tension into a deep, meditative calm.
As the continuous flow slows and finally settles, you are left to surface from the meditative stillness in your own time. Then enjoy a cup of tea with something sweet before you ease back into your day.
Lomi Lomi is the traditional Hawaiian loving-hands massage, and what sets it apart is that nothing ever stops. Instead of working knot by knot, your therapist uses long, flowing forearm strokes in a rhythmic, dance-like motion that travels over the whole body in one connected sweep. The strokes rarely break contact, so rather than feeling a series of separate movements, you feel a single continuous wave passing from shoulders to feet and back again. Many guests describe it as warm, weightless and almost hypnotic. Because the rhythm is so steady and unbroken, the mind has little to track and naturally lets go, which is why people drift into a near-meditative calm so quickly. It soothes body and mind together rather than focusing on one tight spot, making it less a treatment you analyse and more one you simply sink into and surrender to.
Both are full-body Lomi Lomi treatments; the difference is how unhurried the rhythm can be. The 60-minute session at 630 AED gives you a complete, flowing treatment within a focused hour and is ideal if your time is limited but you still want to switch off properly. The 90-minute session at 950 AED lets the continuous strokes unfold far more slowly, with deeper, more thorough attention across every area and longer to sink into that meditative calm. Because so much of Lomi Lomi's effect comes from the body relaxing into the repeating rhythm, the extra half hour genuinely changes the experience rather than simply adding minutes. If you want to truly let go without any sense of the clock, the 90 minutes is the more indulgent and the more restorative choice. If you are between the two, most guests who can spare the time are glad they chose 90.
Lomi Lomi is best enjoyed unhurried, as one long, continuous flow, so it rewards a little planning. Message us on WhatsApp or call +971 50 303 8294 and choose a time when you will not be clock-watching afterwards, since rushing off undoes much of the calm the rhythm builds. We are open daily from 10:00 AM to 2:00 AM, so you might take a quiet morning slot or a late evening one when the day has already wound down and you have nothing to hurry back to. A little notice helps us reserve your preferred time and your private candle-lit room, and to have the warm oils ready the moment you arrive. If you are booking the 90-minute treatment, leave yourself a gentle, open afternoon or evening around it so the stillness has room to last.
Yes, and it is one of the gentlest ways to begin. Lomi Lomi's flowing, nurturing nature makes it an inviting choice for first-timers and for anyone who finds firm, deep-tissue work too intense. There is no strong targeted pressure to brace against; instead the long, continuous strokes simply carry you along, so there is very little to do but relax. It suits guests seeking relaxation and relief from everyday stress rather than clinical, knot-by-knot work. Before you begin, your therapist checks your comfort and preferred pressure, and adjusts throughout, so even if you have never had a massage before, the session always feels reassuring and right for you. If anything feels too light or too firm at any point, a quiet word is all it takes. Many first-time guests tell us the unbroken rhythm made it far easier to switch off than they expected.
There is nothing you need to do but receive it, which is part of what makes Lomi Lomi so restful. Because the treatment flows in one continuous, dance-like motion, your therapist guides the rhythm entirely, moving smoothly around the table so you rarely need to shift or reposition yourself. You simply rest, breathe slowly and let the long forearm strokes carry you. There is no need to hold tension, help or anticipate the next movement; in fact the more completely you let go, the deeper the meditative calm becomes. Warm aromatic oils keep every glide soft and seamless, so the experience stays unbroken from start to finish. If at any moment you feel too warm, too cool or would like more or less pressure, just say so quietly and your therapist will adjust. Otherwise, the only thing asked of you is to surrender and enjoy the flow.
