You’ve landed on the island, the sun is shining, and your shoulders still feel like they’re back at the office. A massage sounds perfect, but then the questions start. Swedish or deep tissue? Do I have to leave my villa? What is Releasology?

This guide answers the questions visitors and locals ask most often before booking a mobile massage in Sint Maarten and St. Martin.

What is a mobile massage, and how does it work?

A mobile massage means the spa comes to you. Your therapist arrives at your location with everything needed to set up a calm, comfortable treatment space. There’s no taxi, no traffic and no waiting room. When the session ends, you can rest right where you are instead of rushing back into the day.

Serenity Massage Services offers this across the island, and the team reports more than 10 years of experience.

Where can I get a massage on the island?

Almost anywhere you’re staying. Popular choices include:

• In-villa massage: Ideal for private, quiet relaxation.
• Hotel massage: Many guests book a session in their room after a day of travel.
• Yacht massage: A good fit for charter guests who want to unwind on board.
• Private residence: Perfect for locals who prefer to skip the commute.

If you’re unsure whether your spot works, message the team on WhatsApp before booking.

Swedish massage or deep tissue: which one should I choose?

This is the question we hear most.

Choose Swedish massage if you want to slow down. It uses long, flowing strokes and lighter to medium pressure, which suits first-timers, people who are travel-tired and anyone who wants pure relaxation.

Choose deep tissue massage if your body feels stuck. It uses firmer, more focused pressure on tight areas. It suits people with knotted shoulders, stiff backs or muscles worn out from sport, long flights or desk work.

A simple rule of thumb: if you want to melt, book Swedish. If you want to release, book deep tissue. Either way, tell your therapist how much pressure feels right, and they’ll adjust during the session. Guests often mention how responsive the therapists are to this kind of feedback.

What is Releasology?

Releasology is a specialty treatment aimed at helping the body let go of built-up tension. If you’ve tried standard massage styles and want something different, it’s worth exploring. Read the Releasology page or ask your therapist which of your problem areas it would suit.

How much does a massage cost?

Current one-hour rates listed on the website:

Treatment	Duration	Price

Deep Tissue Massage	1 hour	US$180

Prices can change, so confirm when you book. Payment is accepted by cash, credit card or check.

Can couples or groups book together?

Yes. Couples massage is a favorite for honeymoons and anniversaries, and small groups such as friends on a girls’ trip can arrange sessions together. Reach out early in busy travel seasons so the schedule works for everyone.

How should I prepare for my session?

A few easy habits make a big difference:

1. Eat lightly an hour or two beforehand.
2. Drink water before and after your session.
3. Share your goals, whether that’s relaxation, sore shoulders or a stiff lower back.
4. Mention any injuries or health concerns so the treatment can be adjusted safely.
5. Choose a quiet spot with a bit of floor space and a calm atmosphere.

What should I do after a massage?

Don’t rush. Sip water, stay out of the midday sun for a while and give your body time to settle. If you’re on holiday, a slow evening meal is the perfect follow-up.
