Do I need to bring my own towel to a spa?
Towel. Some spas will provide a towel, but as some don’t you should bring your own towel just to be sure. However, if you’ve contacted the spa and they’ve said they provide a free towel upon arrival, you may want to leave yours at home to save space. We still recommend bringing a small one just incase. This depends upon which treatments you have booked and the facilities you will be using. In general, you should wear swimwear or underwear underneath a robe. You may well spend much of your day switching between the swimming pool, jacuzzi or steam room, so it makes sense to have your swimwear already on.Robe etiquette really comes into play when guests are around. If you have overnight guests, make sure you are dressed appropriately while going about your morning or post-shower routine. Typically, this means wearing your pajamas or clothes underneath, not just your underwear.Underwear: Most spas provide robes and towels, but you’ll still want to wear underwear underneath. Opt for comfortable, breathable options like sports bras and briefs.
Do you wear undergarments at a spa?
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. Most spas want you to be comfortable and relaxed, so arrive wearing loose, comfortable clothing like gym clothes, yoga pants and t-shirts. Once you are changed, you’ll be spending most of your time in a robe anyway!For private hot tubs, wear comfortable and functional swimwear of your choice. Public and communal spas often require swimwear that aligns with hygiene guidelines—this means no non-swimwear clothing or heavily decorated garments.Wear Non-Restrictive Clothes Choosing loose-fitting and comfortable clothing is key for a relaxing spa experience. Look for clothes that allow for easy movement and offer comfort.

Do I take my bra off at the spa?
Women usually remove their bras to allow the massage therapist to work on the back and shoulder area without getting massage oil or lotion on the bra.

They allow for easy undressing and re-dressing while ensuring you remain relaxed post-massage.It’s a good idea not to remove all of your clothing unless your therapist has requested you do so.
