The Best Couples Massages in Houston for a Romantic Spa Day

While there are a lot of fun and romantic couples activities to do in Houston, some are only best tried once, while others are worthy of repeat occurrence. Spas fall into the latter category every time. They're good year-round, which in Houston, is a blessing for any couple's experience. A couples massage or treatment nicely says "I love you" to your partner and to yourself. In today's hectic world, a go-to spot for pampering is absolutely essential and thankfully, being the mega metropolis that is Houston, the choices for assisted relaxation are huge.

You have here standalone spas, packed with both traditional and new-age treatments; hotels with plush wellness centers that transport you out of the city even just for a couple of hours; and of course, spa resorts that actually remove you from the hustle and bustle (ideally for the long weekend if budget allows). Whether you're into Swedish or Balinese massage, fancy facials or a quality mani-pedi, these Houston spas have just the solution that your aching bodies need, with treatments for two in tandem.
