Introduction: A New Level of Spa Therapy in Dhaka
In today’s fast-paced urban life, mental and physical stress have become part of our daily routine. Whether it’s work-related anxiety, chronic back pain, or the need for emotional reconnection, we all seek relief. That relief can come in the form of a truly unique and intimate spa experience known as Nuru Massage.
At Grand Wellness Spa, located in the upscale neighborhood of Gulshan, Dhaka, we offer a safe, luxurious, and deeply therapeutic version of this Japanese-origin massage that balances sensuality with professionalism. If you’ve never had a Nuru massage before, you’re likely curious, and maybe even a bit nervous. This guide will walk you through everything you can expect from your first session, and how to make the most of it
What is Nuru Massage?
Originating from Kawasaki, Japan, Nuru Massage is a full-body therapy that involves body-to-body contact using a special type of seaweed-based gel known as Nuru Gel.
In Japanese, the term ‘Nuru’ translates to ‘slippery,’ perfectly capturing the texture and feel of the special gel applied during the massage.
Unlike conventional massage therapies, where therapists use hands and elbows, Nuru massage is designed to promote relaxation, sensuality, and intimacy through skin-on-skin contact. At Grand Wellness Spa, our therapists are trained to perform this massage in a way that combines:
- Therapeutic benefits
- Soothing glides
- Stress release
- Emotional relaxation
- Sensory rejuvenation
Importantly, we follow a strict code of ethics and professionalism to ensure that your session is both safe and rejuvenating. This is a premium wellness service, carried out by expert therapists in a strictly maintained environment.
Key Features of a Nuru Massage
1. Use of Premium Nuru Gel
We use premium imported Nuru gel crafted from deep-sea Nori seaweed — a natural, organic formula free from parabens and synthetic additives. Its gentle composition makes it ideal for all skin types, even the most sensitive.
2. Body-to-Body Glide Technique
The massage consists of slow, smooth, and rhythmic movements using the full body of the therapist. These motions are carefully choreographed to help relieve tension from your back, shoulders, and hips, while simultaneously calming the mind.
3. Specialized Waterproof Mattress
To enhance comfort and hygiene, the massage takes place on a waterproof Nuru mattress designed specifically for such therapies. It ensures ease of motion and cleanliness.
4. Private, Luxurious Environment
The ambiance of the spa is crucial to your relaxation. At Grand Wellness Spa, we provide a dimly lit, softly scented, soundproof room with curated spa music and climate control to create the ideal sensory experience.
5. Fully Customized Experience
Each session is tailored to your individual needs. Whether you want more pressure on the back or a slower rhythm, our therapists will adapt the session accordingly.

This type of massage involves full body contact, making it ideal for people dealing with emotional fatigue, depression, or loneliness. When performed professionally, it can be an incredibly affirming experience.
Preparing for Your First Nuru Massage Session
Feeling nervous before your first session is completely normal. Follow these simple yet effective steps to get ready for your Nuru massage session:
1. Book Ahead
Nuru massage is a premium service with limited daily slots. Booking in advance is necessary to ensure therapist availability and personalized setup.
2. Hydrate Well
Ensure you drink ample water both prior to and following your session to help promote detoxification and maintain proper hydration.
3. Arrive Early
Reach the spa at least 15 minutes early. This gives you time to relax, complete any intake forms, and mentally prepare for your session.
4. Communicate Comfort Zones
Before the session, share any concerns, areas of discomfort, or preferences in pressure with your therapist. We listen, and we adapt.
5. Let Go of Anxiety
Your first session is about comfort and healing, not performance or appearance. Our experienced therapists will guide the entire process.
Step-by-Step: Inside a Nuru Massage Session
Step 1: Warm Welcome and Consultation
You’ll be welcomed with herbal tea and led to a private consultation area. Here, your therapist will ask about your needs and expectations.
Step 2: Shower and Hygiene Protocol
You will be guided to a private bathroom with all amenities. This step ensures hygiene and also relaxes your muscles through warm water.
Step 3: Ambiance Setting
Once you’re ready, you’ll enter the massage suite, already prepared with dim lighting, aromatherapy, soft music, and a Nuru mattress.
Step 4: Application of Gel
The warm Nuru gel is applied to both you and the therapist. It feels silky, cool at first, but warms with body temperature.
Step 5: Full-Body Glide Massage
Your therapist begins slow body movements, from shoulders to legs, using her body to glide over yours. Pressure is moderate, relaxing, and rhythmic.
Step 6: Breathing Synchronization
Your breathing may start to synchronize with the therapist’s rhythm, allowing you to slip into a meditative state.
Step 7: Closure and Recovery
After the massage, the therapist will leave the room for you to take a warm shower. Herbal drinks are offered post-session to enhance relaxation.
