Nuru Massage

Everything About This Massage

What Is Nuru Massage?

Nuru Massage is a full-body massage from Japan, performed with original Nuru gel instead of oil. The gel is warmed, has no smell and no colour, and it makes your skin so slippery that the masseuse can glide her whole body across yours.

The gel is the whole point. Where oil grips the skin, Nuru gel lets her slide — so the movements are longer, faster and lighter, and the contact never really stops. If you have only had oil massages before, the sensation is completely different.

Your masseuse works nude. You may gently touch her body, but not her intimate area, and there is no kissing.

What Can You Expect?

You shower alone first. Your masseuse then warms the gel and applies it to both of you before the massage starts — this takes a minute or two and is part of the ritual.

She uses her hands, arms, back and legs rather than hands alone. The movements are slow and continuous, and because the gel removes almost all friction, one movement runs into the next without a pause.

There is no set limit on the finish within your booked time. How the session goes depends on you, so nothing is promised in advance.

Afterwards you shower together with your masseuse. The gel washes off with water and leaves nothing on your skin.

Benefits of This Massage

What guests remember about Nuru is the feeling of the gel itself. Because there is almost no friction, the massage does not feel like pressure being applied to you — it feels like continuous movement across you, which is why people describe it as immersive rather than relaxing in the usual sense.

Most guests book Nuru to:

• Try a technique they cannot get from an oil massage
• Experience full-body contact from start to finish
• Switch off completely for an hour after a long day in Prague
• Feel touch across the whole body rather than one area at a time

Who Is This Massage For?

Nuru suits guests who are comfortable with close full-body contact and want to feel the difference the gel makes.

It is a good choice if you:

• Want to try the original Japanese gel technique
• Prefer a light, slippery sensation over firm pressure
• Already enjoy body-to-body massage and want the gel version
• Want your masseuse nude throughout

If you prefer more weight and pressure behind each movement, Body to Body Massage uses warm oil and a slower rhythm. If you would rather not have close body contact at all, start with Classic Massage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Nuru gel actually feel like?

Warm, thick and extremely slippery. It has no smell and no colour, and it washes off with water alone. Most guests say the closest comparison is being covered in something between water and silk.

How is Nuru different from Body to Body?

The product. Nuru uses gel, Body to Body uses warm oil. Gel slides and oil grips, so Nuru feels lighter and faster while Body to Body feels slower with more pressure behind it.

Where does Nuru massage come from?

From Japan, where the technique developed around a gel made from seaweed. We use the original gel rather than a substitute, which is what gives the massage its distinctive glide.

Is the masseuse nude?

Yes. Nuru is performed nude — the technique needs full skin contact to work. If you would prefer her in underwear, choose Body to Body instead.

Can I touch her?

Yes, you may gently touch her body. Her intimate area is not included, and there is no kissing.

Does the gel stain or leave a smell?

No. It is colourless and odourless, and it rinses off completely in the shower afterwards.
