Dubai Prices Guide: Nightlife, Attractions & Services

If you’re planning a night out or a day of fun in Dubai, knowing the cost up front saves you stress and surprises. Below you’ll find the most common price points for clubs, shows, spa treatments, and unique experiences that pop up on the blog.

Nightclubs and Bars: What to Expect

Entry fees vary a lot. Average clubs like BASE Dubai or Soho Garden charge between 150 AED and 300 AED for a standard entry after 10 PM. On weekends, especially Friday‑Saturday, expect the higher end of that range.

VIP tables and bottle service start around 1,500 AED and can reach 5,000 AED for a private section with a dedicated host. The cost usually includes one premium bottle and a few mixers. If you’re only after a drink, most bars keep cocktails at 45‑70 AED and beers at 30‑45 AED.

Dress codes are enforced. Many places request smart‑casual or upscale attire. No shorts or sportswear, and shoes should be closed. Breaking the dress code can mean a higher entry fee or being turned away.

Special events, like themed dance nights or holiday parties, often add a 50‑100 AED surcharge on top of the regular entry. Check the club’s website or the post titled “Dubai’s Most Unique‑Themed Dance Clubs (2025 Guide)” for exact dates and extra fees.

Relaxation & Experiences: Spas, Massage, Yacht Parties

Massage prices are pretty transparent. A 60‑minute Thai massage at a reputable spa such as Spa Heaven runs about 350‑500 AED. The same duration for a Swedish or deep‑tissue massage is usually 300‑450 AED. Look for package deals if you plan multiple sessions; you can shave off 10‑15%.

Luxury spa services at beach clubs or high‑end hotels are pricier. A 90‑minute hammam plus oil treatment at a beach‑side spa may cost 800‑1,200 AED. If you combine it with a facial or body scrub, add another 200‑300 AED.

Yacht parties are a dream for many visitors. A half‑day charter for a 20‑person yacht starts at about 3,500 AED, including a captain and basic crew. Add-ons like catering, a DJ, or water sports push the price to 5,000‑7,000 AED. The post “Yacht Party Dubai: Waves of Epic Fun (2025 Guide)” breaks down routes, food options, and exact fees.

Attractions such as the Dubai Fountain show are free to watch, but a lake‑ride ticket costs 25‑35 AED per person. The Miracle Garden entry is 55 AED for adults, with discounts for kids and seniors. For those who want a guided tour, add roughly 100 AED per person.

Overall, budgeting in Dubai means planning for a mix of entry fees, optional upgrades, and small extras like drinks or tips. A typical night of clubbing, a massage, and a late‑night snack can comfortably sit around 1,200‑2,000 AED per person.

Use these ranges as a baseline, adjust for the specific venue you choose, and you’ll avoid any unpleasant bill shocks while enjoying the best of Dubai’s nightlife and leisure scene.
