Tantric massage in Queensway

Queensway runs north from the Bayswater Road and the railings of Kensington Gardens, a busy, international street of cafés, bakeries and restaurants serving food from every corner of the world. The grand Whiteleys building anchors its northern end, the Diana Memorial Playground and the Long Water are a short walk south, and the stucco terraces and garden squares either side are home to long-stay visitors, families and a remarkable number of hotels.

With Hyde Park on the doorstep and the Central line close by, it is an easy, relaxed base. After a day of museums, shopping or walking the park, unhurried, restorative touch back in your room is the perfect way to close the day.

Bayswater has one of the densest clusters of hotels in London, from intimate townhouse hotels on Inverness Terrace to larger properties facing the park, along with plenty of short-let apartments around Porchester Gardens. Wherever you are staying, your therapist arrives quietly, brings everything she needs and creates a calm atmosphere, even in a smaller room.

For guests who prefer to visit us, our Notting Hill suites are a pleasant walk west along Westbourne Grove, in a peaceful private setting prepared before you arrive. Families on holiday and visitors staying several weeks in the area’s apartments often find a suite simpler, since it keeps the visit entirely separate from their accommodation. Whichever you choose, you will be looked after with the same quiet care.

Maya looks after Queensway. She is especially patient with first-timers, explaining each stage so that nothing feels unexpected. Many guests book her for a gentle introduction to tantric massage, built around breath, presence and slow, attentive touch.

Maya also offers a soothing Aqua Massage, and every session begins with a frank, relaxed chat about your comfort and boundaries. She will ask what brought you to try this, whether there is anywhere you would prefer she avoids, and how you like to communicate during the session. Nothing is rushed, and you are always free to pause, change direction or simply rest. Guests who arrive nervous often tell us they left feeling unexpectedly lighter.

We also visit the rest of Bayswater, around Lancaster Gate and Leinster Square, and the canal-side station quarter of Paddington just to the north-east. New to all this? Our frequently asked questions explain what to expect, and you can book your visit whenever you feel ready.
