Tips for a Better Spa Experience in Dubai

Welcome to the quick‑guide section where we pull together the most useful advice from our blog. Whether you’re a first‑timer or a regular, these tips will help you feel comfortable, get the most out of each treatment, and avoid common slip‑ups.

Getting Ready for Your Session

First thing: think about what to wear. For most massages, a simple pair of loose shorts or a robe works fine. If you’re heading to a Vichy shower or a Moroccan bath, bring a clean towel and avoid tight jeans. A quick shower before you arrive removes sweat and makes the therapist’s job easier.

Bring a small bag with essentials – a water bottle, a light snack, and any medication you might need. Ask the spa ahead of time if they provide towels or if you should bring your own. Having a clear idea of the treatment you booked (Thai, lymphatic drainage, cupping, etc.) also saves time.

During the Treatment

Communication is key. When the therapist starts, let them know any areas that need extra attention or anything you’d rather avoid. If you’re uncomfortable with undressing fully, speak up – most places will offer draping options that keep you covered while still allowing the massage.

Tip etiquette can feel tricky, especially in Dubai where customs vary. A good rule of thumb is 10‑15% of the session price, or a rounded amount that feels right to you. If you loved the service, a little extra never hurts. It shows appreciation and helps keep the staff motivated.

Mind the little etiquette details: keep your phone on silent, avoid chatting loudly, and respect the quiet atmosphere. If you share a couple’s room, a gentle whisper is fine, but loud talk can disturb other guests.

After the session, take a few minutes to re‑dress slowly. Your body may feel a little light, so sit up gradually to avoid dizziness. Drink water to flush out toxins released during the massage.

Finally, give feedback. Whether you loved the pressure or felt a technique could improve, honest comments help the spa fine‑tune its services. Most places appreciate a quick note or a star rating online.

Putting these tips into practice makes every visit smoother, more relaxing, and more rewarding. Keep them handy for your next appointment at Blue Star Arabic Spa, and you’ll walk out feeling refreshed and confident about what to expect next time.
