The 5 Best Spas for Foot Massages in Dubai
We use our feet every single day. So it’s not a surprise that we often find ourselves experiencing soreness on this part of the body.
Luckily, foot massages are quite common and popular in Dubai with some spas going the extra mile to provide a unique experience.
To find out which ones are truly amazing options, we went and asked around the city to give you Dubai’s best spas for foot massages.
How much does it cost to get a foot massage in Dubai?
The cost of getting a foot massage in Dubai depends on the spa’s rates. Services availed alongside foot massages may also change the total amount of money you will be spending.
To help you get started, a 60-minute foot massage costs around AED40 – AED260.
How We Picked Dubai’s Best Spas for Foot Massages
Before we get right into our list of Dubai’s best spas for foot massages, here are the factors we considered for our entries on this list:
1. Feet Lounge
| Criteria | Rating |
| Ambiance | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
| Customer Service | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| Range of Treatments | ★★★☆☆ (3/5) |
| Other Services | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
Specializing in the traditional technique of Thai foot massages, Feet Lounge Reflexology & Spa is currently one of the most renowned destinations to get your soles and toes pampered.
While the spa’s space is not that special, and the decor and interior design need help, we still appreciate how peaceful and quiet it is inside.
However, our biggest problem with the ambiance is the fact that the walls are painted orange, so this bright warm hue kept us feeling restless and prevented us from unwinding throughout the entire massage.
Despite that, it is undeniable that its massage therapists are well-versed in the ways of Thai foot massage.
The pressure was in the way that Goldilocks would have liked it, and it was amazing to notice that they could really pinpoint sources of pressure to help alleviate it.
But because of its specialization in Thai foot massages, Foot Lounge is somewhat limited in this aspect.
The only variety you can get with this service here is by availing the option to add the fresh organic herbal ball compress that is made up of various chopped herbs and wrapped up in a ball and steamed to improve energy flows and metabolism.
However, this is brought up by the fact that Thai massage techniques extend throughout the whole body. Foot Lounge also offers many kinds of massages, an effort that we wish would have seen applied to its namesake.
Pros
- Expert therapists
- Great Thai massage treatment
- Great set of massage therapies
Cons
- Ambiance and decor need improvement
- Only has 1 type of foot massage

2. Feet First
| Criteria | Rating |
| Ambiance | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
| Customer Service | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| Range of Treatments | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
| Other Services | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
Well-versed in the ancient teachings of the Far East, Feet First personifies its name with oriental reflexology treatments that are both therapeutic and relaxing.
With a spa decorated with plush leather chairs in each private room and a foot wash with rose petals, the ambiance here is spot on.
The fantasy it brings through the decor and the way it executes its services really owns up to its name. Nothing says Feet First more than having these washed with soapy water that is mixed with flower petals.
On top of that, we really appreciate that despite it being located in malls, it still finds ways to make the space feel oriental with its wooden partitions and dark stone wall tiles.
We also love that its foot massages come at a rate of AED100 per hour. So, if you have extra money to spare, you can have your feet pampered for as long as you want.
The therapists’ techniques when it came to the foot massage were also on point, and they all showed great professionalism throughout our entire experience.
However, only a normal foot massage and a jet lag massage comprise the foot reflexology set of services it offers.
But we were happy to discover that when it came to other services, such as other types of massages for the entire body, they weren’t lacking in that department.
Pros
- Decor and execution of services result in great ambiance
- Excellent service
- Wide range of massages for the body
Cons
- Many of its branches are located inside malls, so noise often leaks into the spa
- Limited types of foot massages are available
Customer Reviews
I had the best foot massage
“I had the best foot massage from Riki and was very kindly assisted by Lorena. I love this place. They are kind and professional and good value for money. Recommended!” – Michele Ciani, Google Reviews
Needless to say, I’m eagerly looking forward to my next visit
“I chose Deep tissue massage and feet and hands reflexology and I left feeling rejuvenated and relaxed. Edna’s point technique is really remarkable. She worked a lot on the most tense muscles. Needless to say, I’m eagerly looking forward to my next visit. Thank you!” -Nicoleta Guțu, Google Reviews
3. Mary Foot Spa
| Criteria | Rating |
| Ambiance | ★★★☆☆ (3/5) |
| Customer Service | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| Range of Treatments | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
| Other Services | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
Making foot massages more accessible with its low rates, this refreshing ritual can be a weekly treat at Mary Foot Spa.
Because of its rates, we lowered our expectations when it came to the spa’s space, however, we should have lowered it even more.
We were disappointed that it did not even bother to put partitions in between its armchairs, making the whole experience somewhat awkward with strangers sitting on both sides of you.
The only upside to it was that it was quiet, and the staff treated the serenity with great care.
And speaking of the staff, they are the best thing about Mary Foot Spa, and we think it is the biggest reason why it is so popular.
You can tell its therapists are veterans who know the nuances and techniques needed to give a killer massage. We came out of that spa feeling like we had a new pair of feet.
However, it only has the normal foot reflexology treatment and a foot spa treatment with ginger. While we would have loved to see diversity, we could not complain because what we got was just so good already.
It is made up by the fact that it has a lot of massage treatments for other parts of the body, such as massages for stiff shoulders and stiff necks.
It also has mani-pedis, and hard skin removal for the feet, so that your feet do not only feel better, but look better too.
Pros
- Amazing therapists
- Wide range of massages for other parts of the body
Cons
- Ambiance needs improvement
- No privacy in between armchairs
- Only has 1 type of foot massage
Customer Reviews
Will come back here next time
“9 of us visited this place as friends after a party for a foot massage.
We opted for this place since it was recommended by one of friends who sponsored us for the massage. Thanks to Mr. Albert Fernando 😉😉 for making this happen.
Each and every one of us enjoyed the massage so well and their service was up to expectation. They know exactly how to treat the customers. Will come back here next time👍👍👍” – Victor David, Google Reviews
They provide you with the best foot massage service
“If you want a quiet dim place to have a relaxing foot massage experience this is your go-to place! They provide you with the best foot massage service especially when it is with Chinese ladies! They have been my go-to place for over 5 years, the only thing is you need to pay by CASH only! Their staff are courteous, welcoming, and also very particular about maintaining noise at an acceptable level.
If you are in need of a real reflexology this is your place!” -Yassminne Atallah, Google Reviews
4. Sensasia
| Criteria | Rating |
| Ambiance | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
| Customer Service | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| Range of Treatments | ★★☆☆☆ (2/5) |
| Other Services | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
Nothing is better than ending a busy day of shopping with a rather luxurious and pampering foot massage… except for a foot massage at Sensasia Spa.
This award-winning independent spa offers bespoke spa and massage treatments stemming from Balinese grace, Japanese elegance, and Thai tradition.
Its spa’s interior is just as much bespoke with textured dark grey walls, dim lighting, and signature black decor. The only problem we have with it is that for such a high-end spa, we expected it to be a lot more spacious.
As for its customer service, we love how the staff are so ready to become one with the experience. The way they spoke and moved perfectly matched the energy of the space.
The massage was amazing. We got its only foot massage treatment, Sole to Seoul, which was elevated not only by its therapists’ expertise but also Elemis products that left our feet moisturized and feeling new.
And speaking of its foot massage, it is disappointing to learn that a spa that has so many packages and sets of treatments to accommodate all kinds of needs only has one type of foot massage treatment.
If we were expecting an acupuncture foot massage, it would be here based on the totally unique treatments it has on the menu.
And speaking of its unique offerings on its spa menu, we love the different facial, body, and massage treatments that help everyone, from pregnant women and their teenage children all the way to their husbands.
Pros
- Beautifully-designed spa
- Offers many unique treatments
- Amazing therapists with amazing products
Cons
- Only has 1 foot massage treatment
- The place is too small
Customer Reviews
The most amazing place
“The most amazing place, ambiance, service, staff members, experts, and treatment I have ever received. If you are looking for gifts it’s the perfect one to go to.

Thank you Team Sensasia urban spa and especially the lady that took care of me FA.” – Vanessa Ghossoub, Google Reviews
I really enjoyed my time at the spa

5. Yinyang Platinum Spa
| Criteria | Rating |
| Ambiance | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| Customer Service | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
| Range of Treatments | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| Other Services | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
Rooted in ancient traditional Chinese medicine, incorporating techniques to promote healing and balance, and clearing up energy channels or “Qi,” Yinyang Platinum Spa is an award-winning spa that features a luxurious space and expert hands.
We love its marbled flooring and walls that completely surrounded us the moment we entered the spa.
The sense of opulence is high up in the air, and the choice to decorate the place with mainly black and white colors to connote the yin and yang is such a smart one.
When it came to customer service, it is undeniable that the therapists are experts at what they do, but we did have a hard time communicating with some of them because they apparently do not know how to speak English.
Despite that, the oriental foot massage was amazingly done because of their delicate hands and consistently gentle pressure that soothed our feet with strokes.
It also has other massage treatments with foot massages integrated into them, such as the sport massage and the pre-natal massage. We were happy that instead of offering other kinds of foot massages, it integrates it into other treatments that need it.
When it came to other services, we were glad to learn it has a wide range of massages, but it lacks services specifically for our feet. The absence of mani-pedis and foot spas was disappointing.
Pros
- Award-winning spa with a wide range of massage treatments
- Expert therapists
- Foot massage is integrated into different massage treatments for a holistic experience
Cons
- Lacks services specific to feet rejuvenation
- Some therapists do not speak and understand English
