Tiny treatments, major pampering – where to take the kids for a spa day in Dubai this long weekend
Dubai has no shortage of five-star pampering – but it’s not just for grown-ups. Across the city, you’ll find a handful of child-friendly spas and salons that cater specifically to little ones, offering everything from gentle massages to glittery manis and even custom bath bomb stations. Whether you’re after a quiet bonding activity or a fun group treat, here are four kid-approved spas in Dubai to check out this long weekend.
Hello Kitty Beauty Spa
A candy-coloured salon built around the iconic character, Hello Kitty Beauty Spa is a certified favourite for kids aged four to 12. Expect glittery mani-pedis, face gems, and hair braiding, plus creative extras like bath bombs and scrub-making workshops in their “Bubble’lish Lab.” There’s even a café onsite for a post-treatment cupcake. The vibe is cheerful but organised, and bookings are well-managed – even during party slots.
Location: Galleria Mall, Al Wasl Road, Jumeira
Offer: Kids’ mani-pedis, braiding, bath bomb/slime-making, party packages
Times: Daily, 11am to 9pm
