Hot Stone Massage

Hot Stone Massage at Planet Spa blends the techniques of a traditional massage with the deep, penetrating warmth of heated basalt stones. These smooth, flat stones are chosen specifically for their ability to retain heat, and are warmed in hot water before being carefully placed onto key areas of the body — including the back, stomach, hands, feet, and face — to help muscles relax more deeply than a regular massage alone.

As the heat from the stones penetrates the skin, it works alongside the therapist’s hands to loosen tight muscles, allowing for deeper pressure without added discomfort. The combination of heat and touch creates a uniquely soothing sensation, helping the body settle into a state of relaxation faster than with massage strokes alone. Therapists often glide the stones directly on the skin or hold them in hand while massaging, adding another dimension to the traditional massage experience.

This treatment is especially effective for guests who carry deep tension or find regular massage pressure too intense, as the warmth allows muscles to soften naturally before deeper work begins. It’s a soothing, sensory-rich therapy that combines the best of heat therapy and hands-on massage in one deeply relaxing session.
