Massage in Arroios and Intendente

Time Out named Arroios the coolest neighbourhood in the world. The spa? Right next door.

Arroios in four stories

The coolest neighbourhood in the world (it's official)

In 2019, Time Out crowned Arroios the coolest neighbourhood on the planet. Locals already knew: the whole world fits into these streets.

The world in one neighbourhood

Dozens of languages are spoken in Arroios: Nepalese grocers, Mozambican restaurants, Chinese bakeries and old-school Portuguese tascas. That whole world is what earned the coolest-neighbourhood title.

The tile palace

On Largo do Intendente shines the façade of Viúva Lamego, a ceramics house founded in 1849. It's one of Lisbon's most photographed tile fronts, and the azulejos are still painted by hand.

The square that came back

Intendente went from no-go zone to a square of terraces, concerts and street markets in just a few years. It's Lisbon's favourite story about second chances.

A round market

The Arroios Market, from 1942, is round and smells of half the continents: fresh fish, spices and fruit you didn't know how to name yet.

How it works

Between two worlds, two choices

After tasting the whole world in three blocks, choose where to land:

We come to you

We serve hotels and local accommodations across the whole neighbourhood - from Intendente to Alameda. It's our neighbourhood, so we arrive fast. The therapist brings a table, fresh sheets and premium oils.

Frequently asked questions

Massage - Arroios and Intendente

Do you serve accommodations in Arroios and Intendente?

Yes, and it's our own turf: the spa sits on the neighbourhood's edge. Massage at your place or a visit to the spa, whichever you prefer.

How do I get to the spa from Arroios?

We're practically neighbours. On foot it's about 20 minutes, by taxi five. By metro, green line to Alameda and red line one stop to Saldanha.

I live in the neighbourhood. Do I need to book far ahead?

For weekdays, a few hours usually do. For Friday to Sunday evenings, one or two days is ideal. Arroios neighbours have the advantage of being able to walk over.

What's the right treatment after a day of markets and restaurants?

Big days ask for calm: the relaxing massage is perfect. If you walked all day, add a foot spa. And there's always a tea waiting before you head back into the buzz.
