Shy about a massage? The questions guests do not like to ask
Undressing, talking, ticklish feet and falling asleep: honest answers to the worries first-time guests carry quietly.
What a spa afternoon costs at Sampige
Single treatments, the half-day package and add-ons, with the totals worked out so there are no surprises.
Guests often ask us to help them plan a visit within a budget. Here is what a few typical afternoons cost, with tax included in every price on our menu. The simplest visit is one treatment. A 60-minute abhyanga is ₹2,800, and with arrival and changing time you are with us for about an hour and a half. Steam, a shower, a robe and herbal tea come with every treatment at no extra charge. A foot ritual at ₹1,500 is our shortest and least expensive treatment, and many guests book one after a long day at the palace or the market.
Two treatments booked back to back are a popular middle choice. A coffee and coconut scrub at ₹2,200 followed by abhyanga at ₹2,800 comes to ₹5,000 and takes about two and a half hours. The scrub first, then the oil, is the order we suggest.
The half-day package is ₹7,500: a scrub, abhyanga, a turmeric and sandal facial and a light South Indian lunch in the courtyard, over four hours. Booked separately, the three treatments would cost ₹7,600 before lunch, so the package is the better value if you have the time. Book it two days ahead.
We do not add service charges, and there is no expectation of a tip. If you want to thank a therapist, a kind word in our feedback book means as much to them.
