Do you have to take off your clothes in a spa?
For most spa treatments, you can keep on your swimming costume or underwear. If you are having a back massage, you can wear knickers. Some treatments, such as Reiki and shiatsu, are done through your clothes. If in doubt as to what’s expected, ask when you book your treatment or spa day. We suggest you wear underwear or swimwear and a robe for most treatments. For some specialised holistic therapies like Thai Massage and Shiatsu, loose, comfortable clothing is most appropriate. No jewellery should be worn when attending treatments.

Whether you’re trying to decide what to wear to a spa weekend or what to wear to a spa massage, the answer is simple: whatever makes you comfortable. For swims in the thermal pool, a comfortable swimsuit is key. Don’t wear anything too tight or restrictive that could hinder your comfort and relaxation. Spas want their guests to be as comfortable as possible, so if you would prefer to arrive in non-restrictive garments, such as gym wear or lounge wear then that will be absolutely fine.

Do I wear a bra to the spa?
Some people prefer to keep their underwear on during the treatment, which is totally fine. If you’re wearing a bra, it would probably be beneficial to remove this so the therapist can work on your back properly. You will always be sufficiently covered with a blanket or large towel at all times for your comfort. Most massage therapists prefer you remove your bra, especially for a full-body session, because it makes it easier to glide smoothly across your back and shoulders. But the golden rule is always your comfort. You can keep it on if removing it feels weird or uncomfortable. No judgment—seriously.For individuals who plan on having a full body massage and are comfortable with removing clothing, the standard is to keep your undergarments on. It’s a good idea not to remove all of your clothing unless your therapist has requested you do so.Loose and Comfortable Fabrics Fabrics that are soft to the touch, such as cotton, linen, or bamboo, are ideal; these materials ensure your body can move freely and don’t restrict the therapist’s access if you choose to wear clothing during your massage.For massages and body treatments, ideally you disrobe completely (that means underwear, too). Most spas offer paper panties to wear during body treatments (like scrubs, wraps, or self-tanning)—they don’t cover much, but enough to provide a modicum of modesty.
