01 Plantage · Amsterdam
Two therapists, at wherever the pair of you are staying in Plantage.
Plantage is ten minutes from the busiest squares in Amsterdam and sounds nothing like them. Broad avenues, trees down the middle, and a pair of therapists at a door that almost nobody walks past.
02 Staying in Plantage
Couples who book a massage in Plantage have generally chosen the area on purpose, which is unusual. It is a small district east of the old centre, laid out as a garden quarter when the city needed somewhere green, and it still reads that way. Wide avenues run between rows of plane trees. A zoo occupies one long side of the main street behind railings, so on a still night you can occasionally hear something that does not belong in a European city. Behind it lies a botanical garden and a small park with a memorial in it. There are very few shops, one or two cafes, and almost no through traffic. Most of what people come for is a short walk away and nothing at all happens on the doorstep, which is exactly why a certain kind of couple books a flat here. If the two of you wanted the centre without the noise of it, you have found the right rectangle of the map. An evening in Plantage has no competing attraction, and the session tends to become the whole of the night rather than a slot inside it.
The buildings come in two sorts and both are unusually good for this. On the avenues you find nineteenth century apartment houses with front rooms that run the width of the building, tall sash windows, and a staircase steep in the usual Amsterdam way but broader than most. Down by the water sit the old warehouses of the Entrepotdok, converted into flats decades ago, each one long and narrow with beams overhead, brick walls and often a mezzanine reached by an internal stair. Those lofts have floor to spare at the water end and none at all under the mezzanine, so it is worth saying which half of the room you intend to use. Heating in the converted warehouses takes a while to reach the far end. Sound is a non issue: these blocks are thick, the neighbours are few, and the avenue outside empties by nine. The single practical catch is that some of the dock buildings still number their entrances by the old loading bays, so send the entrance letter as well as the number.
Thirteen of the forty five therapists live in Amsterdam Centrum and Plantage is a short ride from all of them, which makes it one of the quicker addresses we serve and a good one for a late decision. Two therapists working at the same time, one for each of you, sits on the couples pair row. In a wide avenue front room both surfaces go down with room to walk around them, and in a warehouse flat they go at the window end where the light and the floor both are. The calm out here suits the slower techniques, and tantra is asked for in Plantage more often than its size would suggest. Sensual massage with warm oil is the other common choice. Nuru depends on the bathroom, and the dock conversions tend to have better showers than the avenue flats, so describe yours. Four hand massage, both therapists on one of you while the other watches or waits, costs half the couples rate for the hour.
Send us the avenue or dock, the number and entrance letter, the floor, and the hour you have in mind, plus a word about whether you want one therapist or two. Both names and the total come back in the reply. Plantage is well within the central area, so forty to sixty minutes after confirming there is somebody at your door. Half is requested once we accept, and the balance is a single transaction once they are in the room, made in cash in any major currency, by card or in crypto. One therapist for the two of you is one hourly figure, a therapist each is two of them, two hours with a therapist each is twice the pair hour, and an overnight of eight hours for the couple with a single therapist is a block. Every session is outcall to your own flat or room, we work at all hours, and both of you must 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.
