The Spa at Elbow Beach is offering special massage classes for lovers.

The Couple's Intimate Massage Class is running throughout the month offering a hands-on spa experience in a private spa suite.

A two-hour journey, it begins with a romantic candlelit soak and is followed by an in-depth instructional session with one of the spa's highly trained therapists.

The session includes specific massage techniques couples can use together.

Couples are then allowed to indulge in 30 minutes of relaxation time in the suite.

Tips are also given on how to help recreate the spa experience at home. Each couple receives a Mandarin Oriental 'Wisdom' CD, courtesy of Elbow Beach.
