Swedish vs deep tissue: which one is right for you?

Swedish and deep tissue are the two most-booked massage styles. They look similar from the outside, but the experience is very different. A short, honest comparison to help you choose.

Swedish — the gentler start

Long, flowing strokes with warmed oil. The pressure stays light to medium. The pace is unhurried.

Best for first-time guests, anyone winding down after a long week, and travellers who've just arrived in the city.

Deep tissue — focused relief

Slower strokes with sustained, firmer pressure on specific areas of tension — shoulders, lower back, legs.

Best for desk workers with chronic tightness, people who exercise consistently, or anyone recovering soreness from long travel.

A simple rule

If you want to feel calm, choose Swedish. If you want to feel released, choose deep tissue. If you want both — the signature journey is designed for exactly that.
