Nuru massage in Amsterdam, kept for the day after the event
Nuru uses a warm, slippery gel in place of oil, and her body weight as much as her hands. It needs more from the room than the oil formats do: a shower before, a shower after, and a bathroom with hot water that arrives quickly. That makes it a booking for the quiet day after an event rather than the crowded hour straight after one. New Year's Day, the Sunday after a festival week or a free afternoon before the evening starts all suit it well, and ninety minutes is the length that gives it room.

Origins
Nuru comes from Japan, where the name means slippery or smooth. The gel was originally made with an extract of seaweed and is still made to be odourless and easy to rinse. It moved from private rooms in Japan to outcall in other cities in the late twentieth century.
The technique
The gel is warmed in the hands or in warm water before it touches the skin. Movements are long, sliding and slow, using forearms, hands and body weight rather than fingertips. The waterproof sheet protects the bed, and the showers at either end keep the room clean.
What to expect
She brings the gel, towels and a waterproof sheet for the bed. The session starts in the shower, then moves to the bed where the gel is warmed and spread, and it ends back in the shower. Before any of that, she says what the session includes and where her limits are, and those limits hold for the whole visit. The movements are long and gliding, with more of the body involved than in an oil session, and the pace is set by her.
Who it suits
The guest with a generous bathroom and a free afternoon. The festival visitor on the last day of the trip, when nothing else is planned. Anyone who has tried an oil session on an earlier visit and wants something different on a quieter day.
Benefits
The format for a slow, unhurried afternoon when the city outside has gone quiet after a big date. The warmth of the gel and the weight behind it make it feel very different from the oil sessions.
At your address
Nuru massage at a hotel room or apartment in central Amsterdam, booked for the quiet day after an event, outcall only, ninety minutes and longer.
Length
Ninety minutes at 270 euros is the length that suits nuru, because the showers take some of the time. Two hours at 360 leaves room for everything with time to spare. A single hour at 180 can be done, though it leaves little time on the bed. Peak dates carry half ahead.

Questions
Can I book nuru for the evening of King's Day?
You can, but it is not an easy choice for that evening. It needs two showers and a bathroom with space, and hotel rooms on a sold-out day are often small. If the bathroom is generous, it works; if not, an oil session suits the evening better and nuru the following day.
Why ninety minutes rather than an hour?
Because the showers at the start and the end use some of the time. In an hour, the part on the bed is short. Ninety minutes at 270 euros gives the session room to settle.
Does the gel stain sheets?
She brings a waterproof sheet, and the gel rinses out easily. Leave the bed clear, and the hotel's linen will not be touched by it.
Is nuru good on New Year's Day?
It suits that day well. The city is quiet, there is nowhere to be, and a long, warm session in the afternoon fits the pace of the day. New Year's Day is a peak date, so half the fee goes ahead.
