Aurea Spa

Aurea Spa, also known as Royal Treatment Spa, is located at S&M Hotel in Wireless, Mandaue, and is one of those hidden spots in Cebu that has gained quite the reputation. Offering a body-to-body (B2B) massage for around 1,500 pesos, it attracts clients looking for more than just a typical massage experience.

The place opens its doors in a low-key way, with a friendly front desk staff welcoming you as you arrive. Upon entering, you’re guided to the far end of the spa, where the main rooms and services are located. The receptionist is warm and helpful, ready to answer questions and make sure you’re comfortable.

One notable feature is the selection of therapists available, which makes the visit feel like a customized experience. During a recent visit, there were seven therapists on hand, each with different body types and looks, allowing clients to choose based on personal preference. It’s part of what makes Aurea Spa a draw for those looking for a particular type of experience.

Once you’ve selected a therapist, you’re assigned a private room, and the therapist joins you to start the session. The treatment begins with a full-body scrub that goes beyond the typical spa experience, ensuring a thorough cleanse. Afterward, the massage begins, featuring a combination of traditional techniques and closer contact that sets the B2B service apart. The therapist often uses her whole body in the massage, creating a sensory experience that many clients find appealing.

While the massage focuses on relaxation and pressure points, some clients report additional contact, with the therapist creatively using her body, from legs to chest, to enhance the massage. It’s an intimate experience that’s hard to find in conventional spas, and Aurea’s approach caters to those seeking something different in Cebu’s hidden wellness scene.

For those interested, Aurea Spa also offers optional “extras.” Toward the end of the session, the therapist may offer options like a hand service (HJ) for 1,000 pesos, a more intimate service (BJ) for 1,500 pesos, or a complete service (ATW) for 3,500 pesos. The range of choices allows clients to tailor their experience based on personal preferences and budget, making Aurea a popular spot among regulars.

Clients often describe their experiences as memorable, noting the therapists’ attentiveness and skilled techniques. After the session, clients have the option to shower with the therapist before settling the payment, adding a personal touch to the experience.
