Dual Relaxation

Five great Valentine's Day spa packages for couples.


Aire Ancient Baths
88 Franklin St., nr. Church St., 212-274-3777
Aire has the oenophiles covered this year. With its "Valentine's Grape Indulgence," you get a two-hour bath and a 30-minute massage with Spanish-red-wine-grape-seed oil for $150 per person. Or go for the "Valentine's Red Wine Experience," which includes the above, plus 15 more minutes for the massage and a 30-minute Spanish-red-wine bath for $275 per person.

Spa Castle
131-10 11th Ave., nr. 131 St., College Pt.; 718-939-6300
This Queens megaspa is offering three specials for Valentine's Day. With the Avenue S special ($290 per person), enjoy a snack and Champagne; a hand, arm, shoulder, neck, and décolleté massage; a facial; a face mask; a private Jacuzzi soak; and more. Or try the Lavender Signature Facial, which includes a collagen eye treatment, a décolleté massage, and more beauty perks ($140 per person). The final option is the Chocolate Mud Wrap, which also includes a full body Aromatic Sea Salt Scrub ($150 per person).

Shibui Spa
The Greenwich Hotel, 377 Greenwich St., nr. N. Moore St., 646-203-0045
Head to Shibui to get a little Zen with your sweetheart. Start with the �drunken lotus� massage, where you'll be rubbed down with hot, sake-soaked towels and cucumber seed and jojoba oils ($220 for an hour; $300 for 90 minutes, per person). Follow that up with an indulgent couple's soak. The winter bath uses juniper, which the spa claims releases toxins and relieves tension and stress. Or opt for the moisturizing and calming white-lotus milk option. Both are $120 for two for 30 minutes, and only available with the purchase of another treatment.

Townhouse Spa
39 W. 56th St., nr. Sixth Ave., 212-245-8006
For the couple who primps together, try the "Duo Package," which includes a one-hour couple's massage, couples facials, and side-by-side manicures ($250 per person) or the simpler "Just the Two of Us" with the same massage and pedicures ($150 per person). Or if you're feeling adventurous, there's the "Romancing the Stone" package, which offers a 90-minute Hot Cacao Butter Stone Massage, plus a candle and massage oil to take home ($185 per person). They also offer complimentary snacks, like cheeses, chocolate-covered strawberries, and finger sandwiches.

Couples Body Workshop
138 South Oxford St., nr. Hanson Pl., Fort Greene; 646-644-9743
After celebrating on the night itself, relax and rejuvenate on February 15 with this two-and-a-half-hour "Art of Healing Touch" workshop. Couples will learn to use their hands and bodies to relax each other and release tensions. Sure, this all sounds like a bunch of euphemisms, but isn't that part of the reason to go?
$249 before February; $299 February 9�15
