A massage à deux can be bonding indeed as you both set off, side by side, in a personal indulgence of the senses and the self. But one spa in this desert mecca knows there is much more to a wellness journey for two than having your muscles kneaded in the same room at the same time.

Aquae Sulis at the JW Marriott is a world away from the world. Defenses melt away in just preparing for this journey of rejuvenation and discovery.

Water is the thing here. It is at the heart of healing power and spirit for this spa so it is only natural that couples prepare for their romantic odyssey by soaking in a circuit of cooling therapy pools and pods. You will start out alone in the Ritual Room with calming hot and stimulating cold plunges followed by a soak in the warm float pool. Enter the gardens and join your loved one in outdoor pools surrounded by waterfalls. Move in and out of six invigorating chambers of shallow waters — each pulsing its jets to massage a key part of your body, to loosen tense muscles and tempt away the toxins. Dry your skin in the sun’s warmth. Sip Elixir teas as you settle into the moment and wait for the therapist to guide you to your next awakening.
