Monaco Evening: Your Quick Guide to Spa Etiquette and Tips

Planning a “Monaco evening” at a Dubai spa? You probably want that luxe vibe without any awkward moments. Below you’ll find the most common questions – undressing rules, what to wear, tipping basics, and safety boundaries – all in plain English.

Dress Code and What to Wear

First thing’s first: what should you put on? For a full‑body massage men usually wear loose shorts or a robe. Women can opt for a lightweight dress or a modest swimsuit if the spa provides one. If you’re heading to a Vichy shower or a Moroccan bath, a simple towel or the spa‑provided wrap works fine. The goal is comfort and modesty – you’ll never be asked to wear anything that feels out of place.

Massage Etiquette – Undressing, Touching, and Tipping

Most Dubai spas ask you to remove clothing from the areas being treated, but you stay covered with a sheet. If you’re nervous about stripping completely, let the therapist know – they’ll adjust the draping to keep you comfortable. Touching your therapist is a no‑go; keep hands to yourself unless the therapist explicitly invites it for a stretch.

Now, the tip question: a $20 tip for a 90‑minute massage is generally fine, but you can aim for 15‑20 % of the total price if you’re pleased with the service. For a $100 session, $15‑$20 is a safe bet. Dubai doesn’t have a strict rule, so follow your gut.

If you’re sharing a couples massage, talking is okay but keep voices low. The focus is calm, so whispering about the weather or your day works better than a full‑blown debate.

Safety-wise, certain body parts – groin, face, abdomen – may be off‑limits unless it’s a therapeutic need and you give clear consent. Therapists will clarify what they’ll work on before starting.

Hot tubs and saunas have their own etiquette. Rinse off before you hop in, keep chatter to a minimum, and respect personal space. A quick cold shower after the sauna can boost circulation, but if you have heart issues, skip the shock.

Lastly, remember the little things that make a Monaco evening feel special: arrive a few minutes early, keep phones silent, and hydrate before and after your treatment. These habits signal respect for the space and help you get the most out of your spa time.

With these basics covered, you’re ready to enjoy a luxurious, stress‑free evening. Whether you’re after a calming lymphatic drainage massage or a deep‑tissue session, you’ll know exactly what to expect and how to act – making your visit smooth and unforgettable.
