Massage Therapist Supervisor

About Us:

AIRE Ancient Baths are temples dedicated to the creation of the ultimate relaxation experience, where time does not exist. Inspired by the tradition of baths from ancient Roman, Greek and Ottoman civilizations, the AIRE Experience always takes place in restored historical buildings in the center of globally acclaimed cities.

At AIRE we are proud to have an international presence with 10 established centers: Toronto, Upper East Side, Tribeca , Chicago, London, Copenhagen, Barcelona, Sevilla, Almeria, and Vallromanes. We are already looking into the future and moving onwards, with our soon-to-be-opened, Los Angeles facility in 2026.

We are even prouder of the caring, inclusive, and familiar work environment we have created for all our employees.
