Every listing carries:
- Verified business name, address and direct phone/WhatsApp number
- Real Google rating + review count + photos (with photographer attribution)
- Real Google reviews imported as visitor feedback
- Editor-written description and what-to-expect notes
- Pricing tier (budget / mid-tier / premium) with AED price ranges
- Opening hours and amenities
- Languages spoken by staff
- Gender policy (mixed-gender / ladies-only / men-only)
- Geographic coordinates for map and directions
- A link back to the original Google Business listing for verification

## Editorial standards

Every venue passes a five-step verification: trade-licence check, WhatsApp number tested, on-site or proxy hygiene assessment, cross-check of recent visitor reviews, and confirmation of opening hours. Re-verification happens every 90 days. Listings that fail are delisted same day.

Spalist's editorial team (Leila Haddad, Amira Noor, Maya Fernandes, Dr. Rohan Pillai, Spalist Editorial Team) writes only from first-hand experience. Author bios live at /team.

## Business model & transparency

Spalist makes money from optional Featured Listing fees paid by spas (AED 500/month). Featured spas receive more prominent placement but never alter our editor's picks or override negative reviews. We do not take a commission on bookings — customers contact the spa directly via WhatsApp or phone. The spa's published price is what the customer pays.

### Treatment comparisons
- [Moroccan Hammam vs Turkish Hammam](https://www.getspalist.com/compare/moroccan-hammam-vs-turkish-hammam): Moroccan if you want deep skin conditioning and a longer ritual; Turkish if you want a steamier, foam-led relaxation experience and you're new to the format.
- [HydraFacial vs Regular Facial (Classic / European)](https://www.getspalist.com/compare/hydrafacial-vs-regular-facial): HydraFacial if you want immediate, measurable results with zero downtime; regular facial if you want a longer relaxation experience or you have very sensitive / rosacea-prone skin.
- [Swedish Massage vs Deep Tissue Massage](https://www.getspalist.com/compare/swedish-vs-deep-tissue-massage): Swedish if your goal is relaxation, stress relief or general wellness; deep tissue if you have specific muscle tension, sports recovery or chronic pain.
- [Couples Spa vs Solo Spa](https://www.getspalist.com/compare/couples-spa-vs-solo-spa): Couples for shared experiences and special occasions; solo for genuine personal restoration. Don't mix the two intents — neither delivers when forced together.
- [Home Service Massage vs In-Venue Spa](https://www.getspalist.com/compare/home-service-massage-vs-in-venue-spa): Home service if convenience and post-treatment privacy matter most; in-venue if you want the full sensory experience including thermal facilities and atmosphere.
- [Hotel / Resort Spa vs Standalone Spa](https://www.getspalist.com/compare/hotel-resort-spa-vs-standalone-spa): Resort spa for occasions where atmosphere and surrounding amenities are part of the value; standalone for ongoing routine where treatment quality per AED is what matters.
- [Ladies-Only Spa vs Mixed-Gender Spa](https://www.getspalist.com/compare/ladies-only-vs-mixed-gender-spa): Ladies-only when privacy or cultural preference is the primary driver; mixed-gender when couples bookings or treatment-specific reasons are the focus.
- [Botox (Botulinum Toxin) vs Dermal Fillers (Hyaluronic Acid)](https://www.getspalist.com/compare/botox-vs-dermal-fillers): Botox for dynamic wrinkles (where movement causes the line); fillers for static volume loss (cheek, lip, tear trough). They're often paired, not chosen between.
- [Ayurvedic Massage vs Spa Massage (Swedish / Deep Tissue / Hot Stone)](https://www.getspalist.com/compare/ayurvedic-vs-spa-massage): Ayurvedic if you want a holistic, dosha-matched protocol with medicinal oils; spa massage if you want relaxation with global-standard modalities.
- [Budget Spa vs Luxury Spa](https://www.getspalist.com/compare/budget-spa-vs-luxury-spa): Budget if you're treating yourself monthly and want sustainable cost-per-treatment; luxury for occasions where atmosphere is part of the value.
- [Thai Massage vs Swedish Massage](https://www.getspalist.com/compare/thai-vs-swedish-massage): Thai if you want stretching, joint mobility and active recovery; Swedish if you want classic relaxation with passive bodywork.
- [Laser Hair Removal vs IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)](https://www.getspalist.com/compare/laser-hair-removal-vs-ipl): Laser for darker skin tones, faster results and permanent reduction; IPL for lighter skin tones, lower cost per session and broader skin-area coverage.

- [Best for date night](https://www.getspalist.com/best-for/date-night): Couples spas built for routine date-night bookings — shorter packages (90 min), evening availability and a less-structured-than-anniversary feel.
- [Best for stress relief](https://www.getspalist.com/best-for/stress-relief): Spas optimised for cortisol-down treatment — Swedish, aromatherapy, hot stone, head-spa — ranked by review keywords actually mentioning relaxation outcome.
