Gifts for couples

Why give an experience to a couple?

For a birthday, wedding or simply to treat them, a gift for couples can be an experience to enjoy together. A spa visit, couples massage or hotel brunch offers time at a four or five star hotel without an overnight stay. Sezame brings together ideas the couple can choose around their interests and a date that suits them, subject to availability.

Time together rather than another object

An object may already be in their home, arrive as a duplicate or end up in a cupboard. A personalised print, photograph or gift box may not match their tastes either. An experience for two needs no storage space: it creates a shared memory and leaves them room to choose the date. For a couple who already has everything, this format offers time, a setting and an activity to share.

A prestigious hotel spa without booking a room

With Sezame, a couple can spend a few hours at the spa, pool or steam room, or enjoy selected treatments at a four or five star hotel, without arranging an overnight stay. This outing offers a change of scene with simpler travel plans. In Paris, Relaxation at the Spa at Hôtel ESTÉ is listed at €130 for two, including 90 minutes of access to the pool, steam room and sauna. Access is shared.

Spa & Aperitif at Le Burgundy Paris costs €95 per person. Outside Paris, Tailor-made Well-being: Spa & Massage at La Maison OBONO is €250 for two. Compare the exact inclusions before choosing the present.

Which gift should you choose for a couple?

Couples massage and spa time for a relaxing break

A couples massage, also described in our massage for two selection, generally takes place in the same treatment room, with two therapists working at the same time. The couple can then use the spa, steam room or pool when their package includes access. Treatment and admission durations vary by offer, so read the programme before booking. This format suits people who would enjoy sharing some quiet time.

A private spa for time just for two

A private spa for couples reserves the stated wellness space for a defined time. Depending on the venue, it may include a hot tub, steam room or pool. A couples hammam in Paris is another option to consider. This format can suit an anniversary, a proposal or a romantic outing where privacy matters. It offers an unusual experience without requiring an overnight stay.

Brunch, lunch or dinner for food lovers

Gourmet experiences combine brunch, lunch, dinner or champagne with a four or five star hotel setting. A meal provides another way to spend time together. Some packages pair the restaurant with wellness access. For example, a spa and lunch package brings these two parts together at the same hotel; check the food, drinks and facilities included.

A gift for couples for every occasion

The present can mark a special date, a wedding anniversary, the day they met or a housewarming. Its meaning depends on the couple's story and your relationship with them. Choose an experience that fits their interests as well as the occasion.

Relationship and wedding anniversaries

For their first anniversary, a couples massage or hotel dinner can help mark the date. During a romantic weekend, they might choose a few hours of relaxation as part of their plans. For a tenth wedding anniversary, a private spa can provide a more intimate setting. The booking remains subject to the hotel's availability.

A wedding gift or a present for a new couple

A luxury hotel experience can be given as a wedding gift or to a new couple. It can also become a group present: several people contribute towards a package or a gift card with an amount of your choice. The recipients use their voucher within its validity period to select a massage, brunch, dinner or spa visit. This leaves them room to choose around their plans.

Christmas and Valentine's Day

At Christmas or Valentine's Day, a couples massage, private spa or brunch offers an experience to enjoy after receiving the gift. The Christmas gifts for couples category above provides seasonal inspiration. Our Valentine's Day ideas offer another selection for a romantic occasion. Check available dates in advance if you have a particular day in mind.

Where can you give an experience for two?

Sezame offers a selection of experiences for two at four and five star hotels. Paris and Île-de-France feature prominently, while the catalogue also includes Nouvelle-Aquitaine, the Côte d’Azur, Provence, Occitanie, Pays de la Loire, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and Brittany. Choose somewhere convenient for the recipients or a destination they already plan to visit. In La Rochelle, the Private Spa Suite is listed at €90 for two.

What budget should you set for a gift for couples?

The budget depends on the package and number of guests. Among the examples here, the Private Spa Suite in La Rochelle costs €90 for two, spa admission at Hôtel ESTÉ is €130 for two and the spa and treatment experience at La Maison OBONO is €250 for two. Different gourmet and wellness formats answer different budgets. Treatments, the venue, private access and meals all affect the price. Compare what is included rather than judging by the amount alone.

A particular experience or a gift card with an amount of your choice

You can select a particular experience, with its corresponding value, or choose the amount of a gift card. The card is valid for one year and can be used in more than one purchase. The voucher arrives by email in a digital format that can be printed. It can therefore provide a practical option when preparing a last-minute gift.
