Home service massage in Panglao
Home service massage in Panglao means the therapist comes to you: your house in Dauis, a villa in Tawala, a hotel room near Alona Beach or an apartment in Tagbilaran. On EXPATS PH you post a request with the type of massage, the time and the number of people, and local therapists reply with their price.
The page is for residents and visitors who would rather not search Facebook pages for a number that still works. Therapists here have a profile, a photo and reviews from completed bookings.
Types of massage you can request
- Swedish massage: relaxing, medium pressure, the most requested style for home service.
- Hilot: the traditional Filipino massage with warm oil and firmer strokes, often requested after a long day on a scooter.
- Thai massage: stretching and pressure, done on a mat; say so in the request so the therapist brings what they need.
- Back, shoulder and foot massage for 30–60 minutes when you do not want a full session.
- Couples or group bookings: two therapists at the same time, common for resort guests.
How it works
- Post a request: say what you need, where you are (Panglao, Dauis, Alona or Tagbilaran) and when. It takes a minute and you do not need an account to start.
- Compare offers in chat: local massage therapists reply with a price and a time. You can ask questions before you choose anyone.
- Book: confirm the offer you like, agree the details in the same chat and pay the specialist directly when the job is done.
Prices and what affects them
Each therapist sets their own rate per hour. Locally, spa rates in Panglao and Tagbilaran are advertised at roughly ₱450–650 per hour, and home service usually sits at the upper end plus a travel fee that depends on the distance from Tagbilaran or Panglao town. Typical range in Bohol, October 2026; your offers may differ.
Late evening sessions, resort entry fees and long drives (for example to the far end of Panglao Island or outside Dauis) are the things that most often change a quote. Write the address area and the preferred time in the request and the offers will include them.
Preparing for a home massage
- A bed, a large towel and a quiet room are enough; most therapists bring oil and a folding table if you ask.
- Mention any injuries, pregnancy or skin conditions in the chat before the session.
- Resorts in Alona may ask for the therapist’s name at reception; share it from the chat.
- Payment is made directly to the therapist after the session, in cash or GCash if they accept it.
