A Fairytale Escape in the Mountains: Holistic Massages with Lidia

Some places feel as if they belong to another world. Up in the mountains towards Frigiliana, with Nerja and Torrox just a winding drive away, lies a retreat where time slows down and the air feels charged with calm. This is the sanctuary of Lidia Jaldo Suárez, known to many as Lidia Masajista — a therapist who blends skill, intuition, and a rare sense of presence in every treatment.

Perched in the hills, Lidia’s retreat is more than a space for massage. It is a setting of birdsong and sweeping views that look almost painted onto the horizon, where each session becomes an invitation to step into stillness, reconnect with yourself, and honour life’s most meaningful moments.

Lidia: Healing with Heart and Intuition

Trained at the Oasis® School of Californian Massage in Buenos Aires, and further training in Spain, Lidia combines her bodywork expertise with transpersonal development — guiding not only the muscles and skin, but also the emotions and spirit. What makes her work so special is not just the techniques she has mastered, but the way she delivers them: with warmth, empathy, and an intuitive ability to create a safe, transformative space.

For Lidia, massage is not a profession. It is a mission — a way of life dedicated to helping others rediscover balance, release tension, and awaken a sense of inner harmony.

Treatments Designed for Body and Soul

Lidia’s treatments are as varied and thoughtful as the mountain landscape around her:

Spa Days – Perhaps the crown jewel of her offerings. Held at a beautiful villa with mountain and sea views, Spa Days blend massage, nourishing food, music, and soulful company. Each one is fully personalized — whether you long for pure relaxation, creative workshops, or a day of celebration with friends. They are designed to be unforgettable retreats within a day.y and mind.

Californian Massage – Her signature therapy, with long, flowing, enveloping movements that calm the nervous system, dissolve tension, and reconnect body.

Deep Tissue Massage – Focused, intentional work to ease tight muscles and chronic stress, perfect for those with active lifestyles.

Swedish Massage – A timeless, gentle classic that supports circulation, eases stiffness, and restores natural equilibrium.

Harmonic Rocking – Rhythmic, cradle-like motions that create deep relaxation, as if the body is floating on calm waters.

Rituals – Heartfelt ceremonies that celebrate love and life’s milestones. These rituals are tailor-made to suit each client, whether it’s a vow renewal, an anniversary, or simply honouring your love story. With symbolic gestures, words, and touch woven together in the mountain air, rituals become intimate, romantic, and profoundly memorable.

Couple Therapy – Sessions created for two, offering not only physical relaxation but also deeper intimacy, bonding, and harmony.

Last Day Pampering - Before heading to airport, pick up from hotel, day of relaxation by the pool before heading home packages.

A Touch of Magic

During our visit, we enjoyed the deeply restorative Californian Massage and also joined one of Lidia’s special evening gatherings, at the time it was the Quemada. The firelit ritual, rooted in Galician tradition, added a playful and symbolic element to the experience — a reminder that healing can be joyful, communal, and a little magical too. Keep an eye on Lidia´s page, never know what exciting days or nights she organises.

Reviews That Echo the Magic

Her clients describe her work better than any article ever could:

Visiting Lidia is not just booking a massage. It is stepping into a world where the mountains themselves seem to heal, where every treatment is crafted for you, and where love, ritual, and renewal are celebrated in the most beautiful way. Whether you choose her Californian Massage, a bespoke Spa Day, or a ceremony to honour your love story, one thing is certain: you will leave lighter, calmer, and carrying a little of the mountain’s magic with you.
