What Is Hot Stone Massage?
Hot stone massage uses smooth volcanic basalt stones, heated to the precise temperature required to penetrate deep into muscle tissue. The stones are placed along key energy points of the body and used as an extension of the therapist's hands — gliding across the muscles with long, warming strokes that reach layers of tension no amount of manual pressure alone can access.
Heat relaxes muscle fibres from the inside out. Within the first few minutes of a hot stone session, the body begins to release a quality of tension that typically takes a full Swedish massage to achieve. The stones essentially pre-work the tissue, allowing the therapist to achieve deeper release with less pressure — making hot stone massage one of the most effective treatments for clients who want profound muscular relief in a genuinely luxurious format.
If you want the detail before you book, we cover how warm basalt stones work and who hot stone suits — including when a Swedish or deep tissue session is the better call.
What Happens During Hot Stone Massage?
Temperature check
Your therapist begins by assessing the temperature of each stone — precision matters here, as poorly heated or unsuitably shaped stones are a common shortcoming in standard spa settings.
Proper basalt
At Le Dôme Spa, we use proper volcanic basalt stones, heated to therapeutic temperature, and applied with full technique.
Placement
Stones rest on specific areas while the therapist works elsewhere, the heat moving steadily through the tissue to soften deep adhesions from posture, stress, or physical demand.
Active strokes
The stones are then used as massage tools with oil — clients often describe the experience as the most deeply relaxed they have ever felt.
Who Is Hot Stone Massage For?
Chronic tension
Clients with chronic muscle tension that hasn't fully responded to standard massage — tight shoulders, jaw tension or a stiff lower back.
Lovers of heat
Those who prefer deep, enveloping warmth and find it much easier to let go and relax when heat leads the treatment.
Deep yet gentle
Anyone who wants the deepest possible relaxation and muscle release without firm or aggressive pressure being used on the body.
Cooler months
Guests visiting in the cooler months who want the grounding, soothing effect of warm stones and gentle heat therapy.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is hot stone massage?
Hot stone massage uses smooth heated volcanic basalt stones placed on the body and used as massage tools. The heat penetrates deep into muscle tissue, releasing tension more effectively than manual pressure alone. It is one of the most luxurious and deeply relaxing treatments available in professional spa settings.
Are the stones too hot? Is it safe?
No. The stones are heated to a precise therapeutic temperature — warm enough to penetrate the muscles effectively, never hot enough to cause discomfort or burns. Your therapist monitors the temperature throughout and adjusts as needed. Communication during the session is always welcome.
What are the benefits of hot stone massage?
Benefits include deep muscular relaxation, relief from chronic tension and stiffness, improved circulation, reduced stress hormone levels, and a profound sense of physical and mental calm. The heat also helps improve sleep quality and can ease joint stiffness.
How is hot stone massage different from a regular massage?
In a standard massage, the therapist works with hands alone. In hot stone massage, heated volcanic basalt stones are used as an extension of the therapist's hands — the heat pre-relaxes the tissue and allows deeper release with less pressure. Many clients find it significantly more effective for deeply held tension.
How long is a hot stone massage session?
Sessions are available in 60-minute and 90-minute formats. The 90-minute booking includes a complimentary 30-minute Hammam (Turkish or Moroccan bath), and every Wednesday a 60-minute booking comes with a free Moroccan bath.
Who should avoid hot stone massage?
Hot stone massage is not recommended for individuals with conditions including diabetes, varicose veins, inflammation, recent injury, pregnancy, or blood pressure disorders. If you have any relevant medical condition, please consult your physician before booking.
