Eight treatments. One address.
Russian Banya at 80°C, Swedish, deep tissue, Thai, aromatherapy, hot stone, reflexology and couples packages — all in Mahipalpur, 10 minutes from IGI Airport. Open every hour of every day.
Russian Spa has run out of Mahipalpur since 2014, and the approach hasn't changed much in that time: fewer gimmicks, more attention to whether a treatment actually does what it claims. A Banya session is timed against your tolerance, not a house clock. A deep tissue massage stops chasing "harder" once the muscle actually releases. You can read more about how the spa started and how therapists are trained on our about page.
Most guests fall into one of three groups: travellers landing at IGI who want to shake off a long flight before a meeting, Aerocity hotel guests looking for a proper session without leaving the neighbourhood, and regulars from South Delhi who come back for the Banya specifically. Whichever you are, the treatment guide below is written to help you pick the right session rather than the most expensive one — and if you'd rather just see numbers, our pricing page lists every rate side by side.
Every treatment described below is available around the clock, seven days a week, including public holidays. If you're weighing up a spa visit against other options nearby, our pages on spa options in Aerocity and spas in Mahipalpur cover how this location compares on distance and access. For directions, parking, and a map, see our contact page.
What your therapist does.
Every treatment listed is available 24 hours a day. No membership. No package required. Walk in any time.
SignatureRussian Banya
Steam at 80–90°C, birch venik, cool-water rinse. Your pores open fully, your lungs clear, and circulation jumps in a way no oil massage replicates. The therapist reads your tolerance and adjusts heat cycles. Not just a steam room — the full ritual.
ClassicSwedish Massage
Five strokes: effleurage, petrissage, friction, tapotement, vibration. Warm oil, firm pressure, full body. The right first treatment if you haven't had a professional massage before. Most guests fall asleep somewhere around the 20-minute mark.
TherapeuticDeep Tissue
Slow, deliberate pressure through the trapezius, rhomboids, and lumbar erectors — the muscles where chronic desk tension collects. Your therapist uses forearm and elbow to reach the fascia beneath the surface. Mild soreness the next day is expected and a good sign.
Deep WarmthHot Stone Massage
Smooth basalt stones heated to 50°C placed along the spine and shoulders. The therapist glides them with light oil across the back, legs, and arms. Heat loosens muscle fibres in minutes that hands take longer to reach. Effective for stiffness that doesn't respond well to pressure.
Stress & SleepAromatherapy
Tell us what you're dealing with — poor sleep, travel stress, headaches, low mood — and we select the oil blend. Lavender calms. Eucalyptus clears airways. Peppermint addresses tension headaches. The oils absorb through skin and inhale as vapour simultaneously.
EasternThai Massage
Palms, thumbs, and elbows along the Sen lines — traditional Thai energy pathways. No oil. Done fully clothed on a padded mat. Your therapist guides your limbs through passive stretches, each held for a count. Flexibility increases session to session. Popular with frequent flyers who land stiff.
Foot & Hand
Reflexology
Targeted pressure on the foot map — each zone corresponds to an organ or system. Non-invasive, fully clothed, and complete in 45 minutes. A realistic option if you have a layover at IGI and want a proper treatment without changing.
Private Room
Couples Package
Private room. Two therapists. Simultaneous 60-minute Swedish massages, 30-minute Banya access for both, relaxation lounge, herbal tea. Anniversary decoration available on request. This is the most-booked package for couples staying in Aerocity hotels.
Straight answers, no scrolling.
The most common questions people search before booking, answered directly.
What is the best massage for jet lag in Mahipalpur?
Thai massage or a Russian Banya followed by Swedish massage generally work best for jet lag — Thai's stretching decompresses a body stiff from flying, while Banya opens circulation before the massage sinks in. Both are available 24 hours a day, 5 minutes from IGI Terminal 3.
Is Russian Banya safe for beginners?
Yes, for most healthy adults. Therapists start beginners on shorter, gentler heat cycles and stay present throughout. It isn't advisable during pregnancy, with uncontrolled high blood pressure, or active heart conditions — see the full contraindications for each treatment below.
How much does a massage cost near IGI Airport in Mahipalpur?
Shorter sessions like foot or head massage start around ₹1,500, with full-body treatments ranging from ₹2,000 to ₹3,800 depending on style and duration. The complete Indian and Russian therapist rate tables are further down this page and on our pricing page.
What's the difference between a Russian Banya and a regular steam bath?
Banya runs hotter — 80–90°C — and includes a birch venik massage and a cool-water rinse cycle. A standard steam bath is gentler, shorter, and skips the venik ritual entirely. Banya is the fuller experience; steam bath is a quicker, easier entry point.
Can I book a spa session directly after landing at Delhi airport?
Yes. Russian Spa is roughly 5 minutes from IGI Terminal 3 and 8 minutes from Terminals 1 and 2, open 24 hours. Call or WhatsApp your flight time ahead and a room and therapist will be held for you.
Do I need to book in advance at a Mahipalpur spa?
Walk-ins are welcome 24/7, but calling ahead is worth it for the Couples Package or Banya on busy evenings. See our contact page for directions from Aerocity and nearby hotels.

How your session works.
From the moment you call to the moment you leave, here is exactly what happens.
Call or Walk In
Call +91 9318320667 or WhatsApp us. Tell us which treatment you want and when you're coming. Alternatively, walk in any time — no booking required. We confirm your room immediately.
Arrive & Check In
We're at Office No. 118, Defence Enclave, Mahipalpur — 10 minutes from any IGI Airport terminal. Tell the front desk your name. We take it from there. Change in a private locker room.
Your Treatment
Your therapist briefs you on what will happen, confirms your pressure preference, and begins. For Banya sessions, the heat cycles are explained before you enter. You can adjust anything mid-session.
Relax & Leave
After your session, use the relaxation lounge — herbal tea, recline, no rush. Pay when ready. We can call a cab back to IGI or Aerocity if you need one. Cash, UPI, and cards accepted.
Every treatment, in depth.
What it is, who it suits, and what to know before and after — written the way a therapist would explain it, not a brochure. For pricing across every option side by side, see our pricing page.
A traditional Russian steam ritual — dry-to-wet heat cycles at 80–90°C, punctuated by a birch venik massage and a cool-water rinse. Closer to a full-body reset than a typical steam room visit.
Opens pores, flushes lactic acid from tired muscles, and lowers stress within one session. Circulation visibly improves — skin flushes pink, joints loosen.
Guests dealing with muscle stiffness, poor circulation, or a stressful travel week — and anyone curious about the Russian bathing tradition this spa was founded on in 2014.
Avoid a heavy meal or alcohol beforehand and drink water on arrival. Remove contact lenses and jewellery.
Rehydrate well for the next few hours and skip a second sauna or heavy workout the same day; let your body cool gradually.
Once every 1–2 weeks suits most regular guests; twice weekly is the upper limit we'd recommend.
Not for pregnancy, uncontrolled high blood pressure, active heart conditions, recent surgery, or severe asthma. Tell your therapist about any condition before you begin.
The foundational Western massage — effleurage, petrissage, friction, tapotement and vibration, performed with warm oil across the full body.
Improves circulation and eases everyday tension without being therapeutic-intense. Most first-timers underestimate how much it helps sleep that night.
Anyone who has never had a professional massage, or wants relaxation rather than deep muscular work.
No special preparation — arrive a few minutes early to change and mention any sensitive areas.
Drink water, avoid a long hot shower immediately after (the oil is still absorbing), and rest for 20–30 minutes if you can.
Every 2–4 weeks for general wellbeing; weekly if you're dealing with ongoing stress.
Skip if you have a fever, open wounds, or a skin infection. Tell us if you're pregnant — positioning is adjusted accordingly.
Slow, targeted pressure through the trapezius, rhomboids and lumbar erectors, using forearm and elbow to reach fascia beneath the surface muscle.
Breaks up adhesions from months of desk posture, reduces chronic knot pain, and improves range of motion in the neck and shoulders.
People with genuine chronic tension — not usually a first massage. If you've never been touched with real pressure before, start with Swedish instead.
Eat lightly beforehand and tell your therapist exactly where it hurts and how (sharp, dull, radiating).
Mild soreness for 24–48 hours is normal — treat it like post-workout soreness. Stretch gently, hydrate, use a warm compress if needed.
Weekly for active chronic pain, then every 2–3 weeks for maintenance.
Avoid directly over recent fractures, clotting disorders, or inflamed joints. Speak up immediately if pressure feels wrong.
Assisted stretching along the Sen energy lines, done fully clothed on a padded mat, using palms, thumbs and elbows — no oil.
Increases flexibility, decompresses the spine, and relieves the specific stiffness that comes from long flights or long car rides.
Frequent flyers landing at IGI Terminal 3 stiff from a red-eye, and anyone who prefers movement-based work over static pressure.
Wear or borrow loose clothing — trousers and a t-shirt work best; nothing restrictive.
You may feel looser but slightly fatigued, similar to light exercise. Gentle movement afterward helps more than sitting still.
Every 2–3 weeks; frequent travellers often book it the same day they land.
Not recommended immediately after joint surgery, with severe osteoporosis, or during pregnancy without discussing it with your therapist first.
Smooth basalt stones heated to roughly 50°C, glided with light oil along the spine, legs and arms, sometimes rested at key points.
Heat penetrates and loosens muscle fibres faster than hands alone — effective for stiffness that doesn't respond well to plain pressure.
Guests with deep-set winter stiffness or lower back tension who find pure deep tissue too intense.
Mention any sensitivity to heat before starting; the therapist tests stone temperature against your skin first.
Skin may look slightly flushed for an hour — that's normal. Avoid jumping straight into a cold shower.
Every 3–4 weeks works well for ongoing stiffness management.
Avoid with diabetes-related nerve numbness, varicose veins directly under stone placement, or heat-reactive skin conditions.
A full-body massage built around an essential oil blend chosen for your specific concern — sleep, stress, headaches, or low mood.
Combines the physical benefit of massage with inhaled and absorbed oils: lavender for calm, eucalyptus for congestion, peppermint for tension headaches.
Anyone dealing with poor sleep or travel stress — one of the most-booked sessions among Aerocity hotel guests, as detailed on our pricing page.
Tell us if you have any fragrance allergies or asthma triggers so we can pick an appropriate oil.
The scent lingers pleasantly on skin for a few hours — avoid layering strong perfume on top immediately after.
Every 2–3 weeks, or whenever stress or sleep issues are building up.
Avoid specific oils during early pregnancy (safe alternatives are substituted) and mention any known essential-oil sensitivities.
Targeted pressure across the foot's reflex map, where each zone is believed to correspond to an organ or body system.
Non-invasive and effective for foot fatigue, tension headaches and general overstimulation, without removing more than shoes and socks.
A realistic choice if you have a short layover at IGI and want a proper treatment without fully undressing or oil on your skin.
None needed — just come with clean feet; a basin wash is provided beforehand regardless.
You may feel an urge to drink more water than usual for the rest of the day — a normal response.
Weekly to fortnightly if used specifically for foot fatigue or standing-job recovery.
Avoid on foot fractures, active gout flare-ups, or open wounds and infections on the feet.
A firm, targeted massage focused on the muscle groups used in your specific sport or training routine — quads, calves, shoulders, or lower back depending on activity.
Speeds recovery between training sessions, reduces overuse injury risk, and works out tightness that static stretching alone doesn't reach.
Runners, gym regulars, anyone training for an event, plus travellers who've been sitting cramped on a long-haul flight.
Tell your therapist which muscles you've been training and any current tight spots.
Light stretching that evening helps; avoid intense training for 12–24 hours if the session was particularly deep.
Weekly during heavy training blocks, otherwise every 2–3 weeks.
Avoid directly over a fresh strain or tear — rest an acute injury first, then book once swelling has gone down.
A private room built for two — simultaneous 60-minute Swedish massages from two therapists, shared Banya access, and a relaxation lounge afterward.
Shared relaxation without either partner waiting; genuinely one of the more popular anniversary and pre-flight bookings from Aerocity hotels, as our about page describes.
Couples, close friends, or colleagues who'd rather book a session together than separately.
Let us know in advance if you'd like anniversary decoration or a specific therapist gender pairing.
Use the shared lounge and herbal tea rather than rushing out — it's included in the price.
Occasional — most guests book this for a specific occasion rather than routinely.
Same as the individual treatments involved (Banya and Swedish) — flag any condition when booking so both sessions can be adjusted.
A focused massage of the feet, ankles and lower calves — pressure-point work combined with kneading, without the full reflex-map structure of reflexology.
Fast relief for tired, swollen feet after a day of walking Aerocity or a long flight; noticeably reduces the heavy, achy feeling in the arches.
Anyone short on time who wants targeted relief rather than a full-body session — a good add-on after any other treatment.
None required; feet are washed before starting.
Walking feels noticeably lighter immediately after — a good treatment to book right before a long walk or flight.
As often as needed — many guests add it weekly alongside another treatment.
Avoid on active fungal infections, open blisters, or recent foot or ankle fractures.
Scalp, temple and neck-base massage using slow circular pressure, sometimes with warm oil worked through the hair.
One of the fastest treatments for tension headaches and eye strain; also helps scalp circulation if oil is used.
Guests with screen-strain headaches, or anyone who wants a short, calming treatment without undressing.
Let us know if you'd prefer it without oil if you have a flight or meeting right after.
If oil was used, tie hair back loosely and avoid washing for a couple of hours to let it absorb.
Weekly if you get regular tension headaches; otherwise as a quick add-on.
Avoid on recent scalp injuries, active skin infections, or immediately after chemical hair treatments.
A slow-paced, full-body massage using longer, gentler strokes than Swedish massage, deliberately paced to calm the nervous system rather than work muscle deeply.
Lowers that wired, can't-switch-off feeling more reliably than a fast-paced massage; many guests genuinely doze off.
Anyone arriving stressed from work or travel, or simply needing a slower session than our standard treatments.
Arrive a little early so you're not rushing straight from traffic onto the table.
Give yourself 15–20 minutes afterward in the lounge rather than heading straight back into a busy schedule.
Every 1–2 weeks during high-stress periods.
Same general cautions as Swedish massage — avoid with fever, open skin conditions, or in early pregnancy without discussing positioning first.
A combination session — light massage, warm towel work, and quiet time in the lounge — designed as pure downtime rather than muscular treatment.
The best pure de-stress option if you don't specifically need deep muscle work; restorative rather than corrective.
Guests who want to unwind before a flight, after a long meeting day in Aerocity, or simply want low-intensity time.
None specific — treat it as time carved out to switch off.
No restrictions; many guests choose to nap in the lounge afterward if time allows.
Whenever you need a reset — no fixed schedule required.
Very few — flag any skin sensitivity to warm towels or oils in advance.
A full-body exfoliation using a natural scrub, followed by a moisturising massage to leave skin smooth and refreshed.
Removes dead skin buildup, improves how skin absorbs moisture afterward, and leaves an immediate, visible glow.
Guests preparing for a wedding or event, or simply wanting a skin-focused treatment rather than a purely muscular one.
Avoid shaving or waxing immediately beforehand, as freshly exposed skin is more sensitive to scrub.
Skip strong sun exposure for the rest of the day and keep skin moisturised for 24 hours.
Every 3–4 weeks for regular skin maintenance.
Avoid on sunburned skin, active eczema flare-ups, or open cuts.
A moist-heat steam session in an enclosed cabin, gentler and lower-temperature than the Russian Banya, without the venik ritual.
Opens airways, loosens tight muscles before a massage, and is an easier entry point than the full Banya experience for first-timers.
Anyone wanting quick heat therapy, or as a warm-up before a massage — often paired with Swedish or deep tissue.
Avoid a heavy meal right before entering; hydrate well beforehand.
Cool down gradually rather than jumping into a cold shower immediately; rehydrate.
Weekly is comfortable for most guests; daily use isn't something we'd recommend long-term.
Not right after a heavy meal, and not for anyone with uncontrolled high blood pressure or an active respiratory infection.
Dry-heat session in a wood-lined cabin, typically 70–90°C, without the steam humidity of the Banya or steam bath.
Promotes sweating and a sense of deep relaxation; many guests find dry heat easier to sit through longer than wet steam.
Guests who find humid steam uncomfortable but still want heat therapy benefits.
Don't enter straight after a heavy meal or with alcohol in your system; bring water.
Rehydrate steadily over the following hour; rest in the lounge first if you feel light-headed before driving.
One to three times weekly is a reasonable range for healthy adults.
Avoid with uncontrolled hypertension, pregnancy, or immediately after strenuous exercise when already dehydrated.
Warm water jet immersion, used either as a standalone soak or paired before or after a massage to loosen muscles.
The water jets ease surface muscle tension and joint stiffness gently, without the deep-pressure sensation of hands-on massage.
Guests with joint stiffness who find direct pressure uncomfortable, or anyone wanting a softer treatment to pair with a massage.
Avoid entering immediately after eating a large meal; remove jewellery beforehand.
Pat dry and rest briefly before dressing; skin may look slightly flushed for a short while.
Weekly to fortnightly, often combined with another treatment on the same visit.
Avoid with open wounds, active skin infections, or uncontrolled cardiovascular conditions; not recommended during pregnancy without medical clearance.
Compare treatments side by side.
