Frequently asked questions

How intense is a Royal Thai massage?

It can be vigorous—expect firm acupressure and assisted stretches; communicate pressure levels to the therapist so they can modify the intensity.

Is it suitable during pregnancy?

Not generally recommended for pregnant travelers due to deep pressure and specific stretches; consult your doctor and the spa before booking.

Do I need to remove clothing or use oils?

Thai massage is typically performed with light clothing and without oil; check the spa’s protocol but bring loose garments for the session.

Can people with back issues receive this treatment?

Those with spinal injuries should avoid deep Thai stretches; always disclose medical history and get medical clearance if uncertain.

Adventure tips

Communicate pressure preferencesTell your therapist if you prefer firmer or gentler pressure — Thai massage can be intense and adjustments make it therapeutic, not painful.

Hydrate before and afterDrink water pre- and post-treatment to help flush toxins and rehydrate muscles after deep work.

Avoid heavy meals beforehandA light snack is fine, but skip a large meal to prevent discomfort during stretches and twists.

Allow transition timePlan 15–30 minutes after the massage before returning to daytime activities to let your body settle.

Recommended gear

Loose, comfortable clothing: Allows full range during assisted stretches and keeps you comfortable throughout the session.
Water bottle: Helps rehydrate after deep tissue work, especially in Dubai’s warm climate.
Light sandals or slippers: Easy to slip on and off when entering treatment areas and walking the marina afterward.
List of medical notes: Short note on spinal issues, recent surgeries, or pregnancy to share with the therapist for safety.
