The spa comes to you, in Lagos

Lagos tires your legs in the best way. There are the steps down to Praia Dona Ana and Praia do Camilo, the clifftop path at Ponta da Piedade, kayak trips into the grottoes and long walks along Meia Praia. By evening, nobody wants to get back in the car. RHEA brings the massage to your home or holiday rental, with a professional table, hot towels, linens, hypoallergenic oils and ambient music. All you need to do is open the door.

Inside the old town walls, the streets are narrow, cobbled and short on parking, so when you book, tell us the nearest place the therapist can stop. Around the Marina de Lagos and on the hills above town there are apartments with lifts and villas with pools. In Praia da Luz, many holiday homes sit on quiet streets a few minutes from the sea. Wherever you are staying, a living room or bedroom with some clear space is enough.

We also cover Portimão and Alvor. Praia da Rocha is mostly sea-facing apartments, and in Alvor the low village houses are close to the boardwalks over the Ria de Alvor. Guests who spent the day in the water tend to book late afternoon, while walkers often prefer the following morning. We book every day from 7am to 10pm, with every session finishing by 10pm.

After kayaking or surfing, sports massage is the most popular choice. If you have walked a long stretch of the cliffs, deep tissue can help ease tension in the legs and lower back. If you came simply to rest, Swedish massage is the most requested. Two people in the same house can book a couples massage, either one after the other or with two therapists at the same time.
