Party Guide: Simple Tips, Spa Ideas, and Etiquette for Dubai Gatherings

If you’re planning a get‑together in Dubai, you want it to feel relaxed, stylish, and hassle‑free. The good news? Mixing a little spa vibe into your party can raise the fun factor without blowing the budget. Below you’ll find clear, bite‑size advice on everything from what to wear in a jacuzzi to how much to tip at a hammam.

Dress the Part: Jacuzzi & Swimwear Basics

Jacuzzi time is a common feature of upscale parties, yet many guests aren’t sure what to wear. Pick a swimsuit that balances comfort and modesty—think a one‑piece with secure straps or a classy bikini that stays in place when you move. Avoid loose‑fit clothing that can get tangled in the jets. If you’re the host, provide a short guide or a sign in the changing area that mentions the “no‑shoes, no‑metal accessories” rule to keep the water clean.

Spice It Up with a Moroccan Hammam Experience

Adding a mini‑Hammam session can turn a regular party into a wellness celebration. Before guests walk in, explain the gender rules: most hammams have separate areas for men and women, and some offer private rooms for mixed groups. Hand out a quick etiquette sheet covering modesty expectations, showering before entering the steam room, and the proper way to use the offer‑based exfoliation scrub. This prepares everyone and avoids awkward moments.

While you’re at it, think about offering a simple “spa corner” with a few stations: a dry‑brush setup, a body‑scrub station, or even a quick cupping demo (just make sure a certified therapist handles it). Guests love hands‑on experiences, and it gives you fresh content for social media stories.

Don’t forget the financial side. Most Dubai spas charge between 300 AED and 600 AED for a standard hour of treatment, but a group discount can bring the cost down to about 200 AED per person for a shared massage or a VIP package. If you’re budgeting, set a per‑person limit and ask the spa to create a custom bundle that includes a short massage, a facial, and a relaxing tea.

When the night ends, tipping can be a gray area for visitors. In Dubai, it’s customary to tip 10‑15% at restaurants, but for spa services, a 5‑10 AED tip per therapist is enough. If you’re using a hammam, a small token—like a cup of mint tea or a modest cash tip—shows appreciation without overdoing it.

Finally, keep the vibe casual and inclusive. Offer non‑alcoholic mocktails with fresh fruit, set up a comfy lounge area with low lighting, and play a playlist that mixes chill beats with a few upbeat tracks for dancing. By blending clear dress rules, a touch of Moroccan tradition, and sensible budgeting, your party becomes a memorable mix of fun and relaxation.
