An aroma massage at Rits Spa is a full-body treatment built around warmed, scented oil and slow, continuous strokes. The therapist works the back, shoulders, arms, legs and scalp in long gliding passes, keeping the pressure moderate unless you ask for more. It is the treatment most guests reach for when the goal is simply to switch off, not to work through a specific problem area.
Our therapists, from Russia, Ukraine, Italy and Turkey, apply the oil generously so the hands never drag or catch on the skin. That continuous contact is what separates an aroma massage from a firmer, stop-start treatment. Sessions run 30, 60 or 90 minutes, so you can book a short shoulder-and-neck reset on a break or a full 90 minute treatment when you have the evening free.
What to expect
You arrive, change in a private room, and the therapist checks your preferred pressure before starting. The room stays quiet and dimly lit for the full session. Expect long strokes down the back and limbs, gentle scalp work near the end, and a calm pace throughout rather than deep targeted pressure. You can ask the therapist to spend extra time on your shoulders or lower back if that is where you hold the most tension.
Who it suits
The aroma massage suits anyone who wants general relaxation rather than deep muscle work, including first-time spa guests and anyone winding down after a flight or a long shift. Because Rits Spa is open daily until 3 am in Al Jaddaf, close to Dubai Creek, it also works well as a late booking after dinner or before bed. Message us on WhatsApp to book a time.
Questions about aroma massage
What oil do you use for the aroma massage?
We work with a warmed aromatherapy blend applied generously across the back, shoulders, arms, legs and scalp. The oil is chosen to glide smoothly under the therapist's hands so the strokes stay continuous instead of catching on dry skin, which is what makes the treatment feel calming rather than mechanical. If you have a known allergy or a strong preference for unscented oil, tell the therapist when you arrive or mention it on WhatsApp when you book, and they will adjust before the session starts. The scent itself is meant to sit in the background of the treatment, supporting the slow pace of the massage rather than being the main event. Most guests find the aroma helps them switch off faster than a plain unscented massage would, especially after a long day at work or a flight into Dubai.
How is aroma massage different from Swedish massage?
Both use long gliding strokes, but aroma massage leans on scented, warmed oil and a slower rhythm built purely for relaxation, while our Swedish massage keeps a firmer, more structured pace aimed at general muscle relief. If your goal is simply to unwind after a stressful week, the aroma session is the gentler choice. If you carry tension in specific spots and want a bit more working pressure without going as deep as our deep tissue treatment, Swedish massage suits you better. Both are available in 60 and 90 minute sessions, and the aroma massage also comes in a 30 minute option if you are short on time. Therapists can blend elements of both during your session if you describe what you need, since pressure and pacing are adjusted per guest rather than fixed to one script.
Can I book the 30 minute aroma massage on a work break?
Yes, the 30 minute session is built for exactly that. It focuses on the back, shoulders and neck, the areas that tighten most from sitting at a desk or driving around Dubai, so you get real relief without needing a full hour. We are open daily from 10 am to 3 am, which means you can come in during a lunch break, straight after work, or later in the evening if that suits your schedule better. Message us on WhatsApp with your preferred time and we will confirm availability before you travel to Al Jaddaf. Guests who only have 30 minutes still leave with visibly looser shoulders, since the therapist concentrates the entire session on the upper body instead of spreading the time across the full body the way the 60 and 90 minute versions do.
Is the aroma massage suitable for a first spa visit?
It is one of the more approachable treatments we offer, which makes it a solid choice if you have never had a professional massage before. The pressure is moderate by default and the therapist checks in during the session to see whether you want it lighter or firmer, so there is no guesswork on your part. You do not need to know any technical terms, just describe how you feel and where you are holding tension. Our therapists come from Russia, Ukraine, Italy and Turkey and are used to explaining the flow of the treatment to first-time guests before starting. If you are nervous about a scented oil, ask for a lighter application. The room stays private throughout, and you can request a full body session or ask the therapist to focus on specific areas instead.
Do you offer the aroma massage late at night?
Yes. Rits Spa is open every day from 10 am to 3 am, and the aroma massage is one of the treatments guests most often book in the late evening because its slow pace works well as a wind-down before bed. If you are staying near Al Jaddaf or Dubai Creek and finish work late, you can still get a full 60 or 90 minute session without rushing. We recommend messaging us on WhatsApp ahead of time so a therapist and treatment room are ready when you arrive, especially after 11 pm when we plan staffing around confirmed bookings. Late sessions run at the same price and length as daytime ones, nothing is shortened or rushed. Many guests tell us the quiet, near-empty spa in the late hours makes the massage feel even more relaxing than a daytime visit.
