Your first spa visit can bring up many questions: What do I wear? How intense is the massage? Do I have to talk during the session? It's completely normal to feel curious or even a little nervous. At Samadhi Spa Medellín, we welcome first-time visitors every week, and this guide answers the most common questions so you arrive relaxed even before you start.
Before you arrive: what to prepare and what to avoid
Stay well-hydrated throughout the day (massage stimulates circulation and your body needs fluids). Avoid heavy meals at least 2 hours before your appointment. Wear comfortable, easy-to-remove clothing. Don't apply strong perfumes or lotions; the spa's aromas are part of the experience. And most importantly: arrive 15 minutes early so you have time to settle in without rushing.
What happens when you arrive at the spa
At Samadhi, we welcome you in a discreet and cozy environment. We show you the themed room where your session will take place (Amazonian, Japan, Turkish Couples, or Turkish Single), explain the treatment step by step, and ask about tension areas or pressure preferences. Everything adapts to you. If at any point you want more or less pressure, just say so: your comfort is the absolute priority.
During the session: what you need to know
You don't need to talk during the massage, but you can if you want to. Some clients prefer total silence; others ask questions. Both are fine. A typical session lasts between 60 and 90 minutes depending on the treatment. It's normal to fall asleep: it's a sign your body is deeply relaxing. Samadhi's therapists are trained to adjust intensity without disrupting your state of relaxation.
After the massage: how to extend the benefits
Drink plenty of water over the next 24 hours to help your body flush toxins. You may feel some muscle sensitivity the next day, especially if you chose deep pressure: this is completely normal and disappears within 24-48 hours. Avoid intense exercise on the same day. And a tip from our therapists: take a warm (not hot) shower before bed to extend the relaxation feeling.
Your first spa visit should be a stress-free experience from start to finish. At Samadhi Spa Medellín, we handle every detail so all you have to do is relax. Our team is prepared to guide you every step of the way. Ready for your first session? Book now and discover what a professional massage can do for you.
