What to bring and spa etiquette
Bring a form of ID and your room number if you’re a hotel guest. The spa typically supplies robes, towels and disposable undergarments as needed for treatments; if you prefer to use your own robe or have specific preferences, mention them when booking.
Be ready to discuss health conditions, medications, injuries or pregnancy before your treatment so therapists can tailor pressure, techniques or avoid contraindicated modalities.
- ID and room number (if you’re a guest)
- List of medications or recent injuries to disclose to the therapist
- Swimwear only if you plan to use pool/steam areas before or after a treatment
- Tip: leave valuables in your room or in a secure locker at the spa
| Before a treatment | Why |
|---|---|
| Avoid heavy meals or alcohol | Helps you relax and reduces discomfort during bodywork |
| Mute phone and minimize interruptions | Maintains a calm environment for all guests |
| Arrive early to use steam/shower | Prepares skin/muscles and lets you start treatment relaxed |
