Couples massage De Pijp, after a long dinner near the market

The streets around you

The building stock is more consistent than in the old centre. Most flats follow the same plan, a front room of decent size facing the street and a narrower bedroom behind, joined by a short hallway. For two working surfaces placed side by side, the front room is almost always the answer, and the therapists would rather move a sofa or a coffee table than squeeze into the bedroom. Stairs are steep but regular, lifts are rare, and the street door usually opens onto a shared hall with a column of bells. Sound deserves a moment's thought. These blocks are solid, but the walls between flats are thinner than a canal house, and a Saturday night in the neighbourhood carries on outside until late. Close the front windows before the pair arrive, keep the lamps low, and the flat settles quickly. Nothing about the session itself is loud, and the courtyard side of most buildings is surprisingly still once the terraces below have emptied.

Couples massage in De Pijp, as we bring it

Ten of the forty-five therapists live in De Pijp, so a pair the two of you choose is usually setting out from very close by. The standard booking is two therapists, one each, working at the same time on the couples pair row, with each of you choosing your own pressure and your own technique. Couples who ate well and walked home slowly often lean toward the gentler end of the menu, sensual or tantra, and ninety minutes with a therapist each is a length that sits between dinner and sleep without either feeling rushed. Nuru works in apartments whose shower is a real shower rather than a cubicle tucked under the stairs, so describe the bathroom if you would like it. Four-hand massage, both therapists on one of you, is half the couples hour and makes a thoughtful present for a birthday that happens to fall during the trip.

Getting to your door

Message us on WhatsApp with the address, the name on the bell and the floor, and the booking is confirmed in that same thread. De Pijp sits inside the central area we cover, so arrival is forty to sixty minutes from that confirmation, often less given where the pair live. If the flat has a balcony, it makes a lovely place for the two of you to sit for ten minutes once the pair have gone. Half is settled in the thread once we accept and the balance at the door, in cash in any major currency, by card or in crypto. A single therapist shared by the two of you carries one hourly figure, a therapist each carries double it, and an eight-hour overnight for the couple with one therapist is a block. Bookings run at any hour, every day, and both of you must be twenty-one or over.
