The couple’s massage lesson
Book a couple’s massage lesson at Zen Spa for something a little bit different. You and your partner are taught a series of basic Balinese massage techniques, which you then get to practise on each other in a room lit with candles and strewn with flower petals. What could be a more romantic warm up for later?

Valentine’s package
They say chocolate is an aphrodisiac, so why not go ahead and wrap yourself in the stuff to get you and your partner in the mood on Valentine’s Day? Spend some time relaxing in the Jacuzzi and sauna before receiving a back scrub, massage, and skin-softening chocolate wrap, leaving you smelling good enough to eat.
