An early evening massage in Amsterdam, before you go out to dinner
Some guests prefer a massage that ends the day; others prefer one that divides it, with the walking behind them and dinner still ahead. The early evening slot belongs to the second group, and it has a character of its own.
While you read
Nothing here asks you to decide anything. The whole page can be read and left alone.
An early evening massage in Amsterdam is booked for the hours between the end of sightseeing and the start of dinner, usually around six or seven. It suits travellers who keep a late table, those who sleep poorly if the evening ends with a session, and anyone who would rather walk out to a restaurant feeling loosened than collapse straight into bed. It also has a practical advantage: the early hours of the evening are often the quietest in a hotel corridor, between the afternoon arrivals and the late returns.
Timing the early evening massage in Amsterdam
Work back from your table. If you are eating at half past eight, a session of an hour booked for six leaves time for a shower, a change of clothes and an unhurried walk along the canal. Ninety minutes needs the table at nine. Write the dinner time into the thread; it helps her keep to the length you booked and ensures nobody is watching the clock during the session itself. In central Amsterdam she arrives forty to sixty minutes after you confirm, so a booking made the same afternoon fits easily.
The light at that hour
In late spring and summer the early evening is still bright in Amsterdam, with sunlight crossing the canals well past dinner. Draw the curtains and turn on a lamp, or leave a gap if you like the daylight. In winter the same hour is dark and cold, and the heating needs to be on well before she knocks. The guide to preparing the room covers both seasons.
Afterwards
Oil takes a proper shower to rinse away fully, so allow for it. Some guests find the walk to dinner the part of the evening they remember longest: the body warm, the streets cooling, nothing more to arrange. Others choose to eat in the hotel restaurant and keep the evening short. Either way, the session ends the day's effort rather than the day itself.
Which format suits an early hour
A lighter format suits this slot well because you will be dressing again shortly afterwards. The oil massage and the sensual session both work in an hour; the longer formats are easier on an evening with no table booked. If you are unsure, describe the dinner plan and the reply will suggest a length.
Booking ahead for a fixed early hour
If you already know which evening you want, booking a day or more ahead secures the hour; that booking carries a deposit of half the fee, with the rest paid when she arrives.
