In the heart of London’s Chinatown and Soho, choosing the right massage can transform a stressful day into pure bliss. At Royal Asian Massage, we offer a range of authentic Asian-inspired treatments including Nuru, Tantric, Erotic, Body-to-Body, and more. Understanding the differences helps you book the perfect session — whether incall at our private Gerrard Street studio or outcall to your hotel or home.
Tantric Massage London
Tantric massage is a slow, mindful full-body experience focused on breath, presence, and energy flow. Our skilled Asian therapists use warm oils and unhurried touch to help you switch off completely. Ideal for first-timers or anyone seeking deeper relaxation beyond a standard spa treatment. Available incall or outcall across central London. Learn more about Tantric Massage.
Nuru Massage
Nuru massage uses a special Japanese seaweed-based gel that creates a uniquely slippery, frictionless sensation. Your therapist uses her whole body for an immersive, body-to-body experience. Expect to shower before and after. It’s one of our most popular premium treatments at £180 per hour. Book Asian Nuru Massage London.
Erotic & Sensual Massage
Erotic massage focuses on deliberate sensual intent and anticipation, while sensual massage emphasises gentle, attentive care and intimacy without intensity. Both are performed by experienced therapists in a discreet, private setting. Many clients start with sensual and progress based on preference. Prices start at £180/hour.
Body to Body Massage
Similar to Nuru but using warm oil instead of gel, body-to-body massage offers full-contact relaxation with more warmth and grip. Perfect if you want immersion without the shower and gel. Highly requested across Soho, Chinatown, and central London hotels.

How to choose the right massage type
With so many names on a massage menu, it helps to start with how you want to feel when you leave. Think about three things before you book: the level of pressure you enjoy, how long you have, and whether you want a purely relaxing treatment or something more slow and mindful.
- For stress relief and better sleep: a slow relaxation, Swedish or aromatherapy massage is usually the gentlest choice.
- For tight shoulders, back or legs: deep tissue or sports massage uses firmer, focused pressure.
- For a deeply calming, mindful experience: tantric massage focuses on breathing, slow touch and presence.
- For a smooth, flowing sensation: Nuru-style massage uses a warm, slippery gel and long gliding strokes.
- For something traditional and active: Thai-inspired massage combines pressure with assisted stretching.
Comparing the most popular styles
Tantric massage is the slowest of the sensual styles. Sessions often begin with breathing and gentle touch, and the pace is unhurried so you can relax fully. Read more on our tantric massage London page.
Nuru massage comes from Japan and is known for its odourless gel, which lets the therapist move smoothly over large areas of the body. Our Nuru massage London page explains what a session includes, and our article on Nuru massage vs traditional massage compares the two.
Body to body massage uses the therapist’s forearms and body to apply broad, warm pressure. If you are deciding between it and Nuru, see body to body massage vs Nuru massage.
Therapeutic styles such as deep tissue, sports and Thai massage are focused on muscles and mobility rather than sensuality. Our guide to Swedish massage vs deep tissue is a good starting point.
How long should your session be?
A 60-minute session is the most popular choice and gives enough time for a full-body treatment. Ninety minutes or longer suits slower styles such as tantric massage, where rushing would spoil the experience. Shorter sessions can work for a quick back and shoulder treatment. Current lengths and prices are listed on our services and rates page.
What every guest can expect
Whichever style you choose, the session should start with a short conversation about pressure, comfort and any areas to avoid. You will be given privacy to get ready, fresh towels and a clean room. You can ask the therapist to change the pace or pressure at any time, and you can end the session whenever you wish. Clear boundaries and mutual respect are part of every treatment.
Frequently asked questions
Which massage is best for a first visit?
Many first-time guests start with a relaxation or aromatherapy massage, then try tantric or Nuru-style massage on a later visit once they know what they enjoy.
Are sensual massages the same as therapeutic massages?
No. Sensual styles focus on relaxation and slow, mindful touch, while therapeutic styles such as deep tissue or sports massage focus on muscle tension and recovery. Read each treatment description before booking.
Can I combine two styles in one session?
Often, yes. For example, a session can begin with deep tissue work on the back and finish with slower relaxation strokes. Ask when you book so enough time is allowed.
Where can I see the therapists?
You can browse profiles in our therapist gallery and find answers to common questions on our frequently asked questions page.
