BCME’s Favourite Spas For Stressed Out Dubai Brides To Be

As much as wedding planning is made to look like the most glorious time of your life in several movies, occasionally, the opposite can also be true. Just ask our real brides, who have at some point or other found themselves feeling overwhelmed when planning their big day.

One of our favourite ways to relax is to hit the spa, either alone or with friends, for some much-needed peace and pampering. With this in mind, we looked at some of the lush spas at our venue vendors, and today, we bring you our favourites. Even if you’re not at your wits end with wedmin, you might want to consider a spa trip as part of your Hen Do, or even as something to enjoy with your new husband once you’ve tied the knot. Actually…who needs a reason for a spa day? With further details below, you’ll be spoiled for choice!
