Spa evening at home: your private spa for two
No hotel, no travel, no appointment – and still an evening like a day spa. With a few simple touches you can turn your living room and bathroom into a little oasis. Here you’ll find ideas and a simple plan for your spa evening for two.
Atmosphere: making it cosy
- Light: ceiling lights off, candles and fairy lights on.
- Scent: a subtle room fragrance or a scented massage oil with jasmine, rose or coconut sets the mood.
- Music: a calm playlist without ads, not too loud.
- Warmth: turn the heating up a little, lay out bathrobes and cosy blankets.
- No distractions: phones on silent and out of reach.
Ideas for your spa evening
A relaxing bath or warm shower
A warm bath or a long, warm shower relaxes the muscles and is the perfect preparation for a massage.
Face masks and pampering
Applying a face mask to each other is surprisingly bonding – and often good for a laugh.
A couples’ massage as the highlight
A long back or full-body massage is the heart of every spa evening. With a smoothly gliding massage oil like MakeLove it becomes especially pleasant. Read how in our couples’ massage guide.
Light snacks and drinks
Fresh fruit, a few nuts, herbal tea or infused water with cucumber and mint – light and refreshing rather than heavy.
Sample plan for two hours
- 20 minutes: prepare the room, light candles, start the music.
- 20 minutes: a bath together or a warm shower.
- 15 minutes: face masks with tea and fruit.
- 45 minutes: take turns massaging – everyone gets a go.
- 20 minutes: rest, snuggled in blankets, and let the evening wind down.
A spa evening as a gift
A spa evening at home is also a wonderful gift idea – for Valentine’s Day, an anniversary or just because. Write a little invitation, add a massage oil and plan the evening for your partner. The MakeLove set of five with all scents makes a particularly nice gift.

Dim lighting, a pleasant scent, a bath together and a long couples’ massage create a romantic atmosphere.
Is a spa evening a good gift?
