01 Amsterdam-Noord · Amsterdam
Two therapists, sent to wherever the pair of you are staying in Amsterdam-Noord.
Amsterdam-Noord is the half of the city most couples meet late, usually because the flat they rented turned out to be on the far bank. Two therapists cross the IJ to reach you, and the quiet over there is the entire point.
02 Staying in Amsterdam-Noord
Booking a couples massage in Amsterdam-Noord almost always begins with a rental rather than a hotel. The two of you found a flat with a balcony, a lift and a proper bedroom for the price of a cramped room in the old centre, and the only catch was a ferry. That catch turns out to be a feature. The crossing behind the station takes a few minutes and runs at all hours, and stepping off it at night you are suddenly in a part of Amsterdam where nobody is shouting. On the western side the old shipyard has been taken over by studios and warehouses with enormous windows. Straight ahead of the ferry slip stand the new towers of the Overhoeks strip, all glass and lifts and floors you could dance on. Further east the streets turn residential and then, unexpectedly, rural, with wooden houses on a raised dyke that were built long before the city reached them. Couples who stay here tend to do the city by day and come back over the water in the evening, which makes Noord an unusually good place to be massaged. There is nothing left to go out for once you are home, and the session becomes the end of the day rather than an interruption in the middle of it.
Three kinds of room turn up here and they behave very differently. The new blocks along the water are the easiest of all: wide open living rooms, underfloor heating, a lift from the entrance hall, and floor to ceiling glass that wants a curtain drawn before anything begins. The warehouse conversions further west give you space in absurd quantities and heat in short supply, so the radiators want putting on an hour ahead rather than twenty minutes. The small dyke houses and garden village cottages are the opposite again: charming, low ceilinged, and reached by a staircase closer to a ladder than a stair. Finding the door is the one recurring problem. New developments run their numbering across courtyards rather than along streets, entrances face away from the road, and a good half of them need a code. Sound is rarely an issue. Streets over here empty early, the traffic noise stays on the ring road, and the only thing likely to interrupt an evening is a gull. Close the blinds on the water side, because those windows look out at nothing but they are looked into from the path below.
None of the forty five therapists lives north of the IJ; they set out from the centre, the Jordaan, Oud-Zuid and De Pijp, and they travel to you by road through the tunnel rather than by ferry. That is worth knowing when you pick an hour, and it is the reason a confirmation for Noord carries a time rather than an assumption. The usual booking is two therapists working at the same moment, one for each of you, at EUR 360 an hour, with each of you choosing pressure and technique separately. Noord suits the longer bookings. Ninety minutes for a pair, EUR 540, or two hours at EUR 720, make sense in a flat you are not planning to leave again. The big new bathrooms over here are genuinely good for nuru, which needs a shower rather than a cubicle, and the quiet suits tantra better than almost anywhere in the city. Four hand massage, both therapists on one of you, is the same EUR 360 an hour and is often how one of you marks the other's birthday mid trip.
Write to us on WhatsApp with the street, the block or building name, the floor, and any code or bell name needed to get in, since that detail saves more time here than anywhere else in the city. A reply lands in about ten minutes with two names, the hour and the total. Twenty to thirty minutes is the door to door figure we quote for central addresses; for Noord the confirmation gives you the real number for your street rather than a guess. Payment is made once, when both of them are inside, in cash in any major currency, by card or in crypto. One therapist is EUR 180 an hour, a pair is EUR 360, and an eight hour overnight with a single therapist is EUR 1,250. Everything is outcall to your own address, we work day and night, and both of you need to be twenty one or over.
03 Within reach
A hotel room, a canal apartment or a rental on any of these streets gets the same flat rate and the same arrival window, whether it is one therapist or two.
