About our massagesA practice rooted in presence
At The Sur House, massage is not a service. It is a practice. Each session is a quiet exchange between skilled hands and a body that has been carrying too much for too long.
Inspired by the vast landscapes of California's Big Sur coast where the land meets the ocean and asks nothing of you. Our treatments are designed to do the same. To meet you exactly where you are.
Whether you arrive with chronic tension, a restless mind, or simply the need to pause, there is a massage here that is right for you.

Some tension lives close to the surface. Some has settled deep in the muscle's memory. This treatment reaches both. Using slow, deliberate pressure with elbows, forearms, and knuckles, it works into the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. Releasing chronic tightness, restoring range of motion, and returning the body to its natural alignment. Fully customizable: full body, or focused on the areas that need it most.

Massage therapy in Haarlem
The Sur House is a boutique wellness centre located on the Burgwal canal in Haarlem, offering a curated range of professional massage treatments for those seeking genuine rest, recovery, and reconnection with their body.
Our massage therapists are experienced in a wide range of technique. From gentle Swedish relaxation massage to deep tissue therapy, therapeutic CBD massage, warm Himalayan salt stone massage, and specialist prenatal care. Each session is tailored to your body and your needs on the day.
What kind of massage is right for you?If you carry tension in your muscles or experience restricted mobility, a deep tissue massage works into the deeper layers of muscle fibre to release chronic tightness and restore natural alignment. If you are primarily seeking mental and nervous system relief, a relaxation massage offers full-body calm through long, flowing Swedish techniques.
For those dealing with inflammation or joint discomfort, our CBD massage harnesses the natural anti-inflammatory properties of premium cannabidiol oil, absorbed through the skin during a full therapeutic session. The warm salt stone massage adds the grounding, mineral-rich warmth of Himalayan stones. Ideal for those who respond well to heat and deep pressure on the back and shoulders.
Expectant mothers from the second trimester onward are warmly welcomed for prenatal massage, performed on a specialist table designed to safely support the body at every stage of pregnancy.
The benefits of a regular massageMassage is one of the oldest and most studied forms of therapeutic bodywork. Regular sessions have been shown to reduce cortisol levels, support lymphatic drainage, improve circulation, alleviate chronic pain, and enhance sleep quality. Beyond the physical, massage creates space, a rare pause in which the nervous system can shift from activation into genuine rest.
At The Sur House, we believe that massage is not a luxury. It is a form of maintenance for the body you live in every day. Our pricing reflects our commitment to making quality care accessible, with sessions starting from €100 for 60 minutes.
Massage in combination with sauna & icebathFor a more complete recovery experience, we recommend combining your massage with our private sauna and ice bath ritual. Contrast therapy, alternating between heat and cold, prepares the muscles and circulation for bodywork, deepening its effects. The Sauna & Massage Ritual (from €150) is our most popular experience for this reason.
The Sur House is open Wednesday to Sunday from 10:30 to 21:30. We are located at Burgwal 26, 2011BD Haarlem. To book a massage, contact us at info@thesurhouse.com or use our online booking link below.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
If you're unsure, a Relaxation Massage is always a good starting point — it works for almost everyone and gives both body and mind a chance to reset. If you know you carry a lot of physical tension or muscle tightness, consider a Deep Tissue Massage instead. When you book, feel free to share a little about how you're feeling and we'll help guide you to the right treatment.
-
For a first visit, 60 minutes gives a full, meaningful experience for most people. If you'd like more time — to address multiple areas, or simply to linger — 75 or 90 minutes is worth considering. For deep tissue work, especially if you have significant chronic tension, we recommend 75 or 90 minutes so the therapist can work thoroughly without rushing.
-
Completely safe, and no — CBD oil contains no THC (the psychoactive compound in cannabis). It will not affect your mind or make you feel intoxicated in any way. The CBD is absorbed through the skin during your massage and works locally to support muscle recovery, reduce inflammation, and calm the nervous system. Many guests describe a noticeably deeper sense of physical calm compared to a standard massage.
-
Yes, and we recommend it. The Sauna & Massage Ritual (from €150) begins with 30 minutes in a private sauna, which opens the muscles and deepens the effects of the massage that follows. It's a particularly popular choice for anyone seeking a more complete recovery experience. A version for two guests is also available at €300 for 180 minutes.
-
Yes. Our prenatal massage is specifically designed for expectant mothers and is available from the second trimester (12 weeks onward). We use a specialist table fitted with a supportive hammock that allows you to lie safely face down — a relief many pregnant guests describe as one of the highlights of the experience. The techniques used are gentle, focused on the feet, hips, and lower back, and are adapted throughout the session to suit your comfort and stage of pregnancy.
