5 Best Tanning Salons in Abu Dhabi (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

By Elara Kestrel, Health and Medical Expert · ✓ Data verified July 2026 · 7 min read

Getting a tan in Abu Dhabi usually means either a dedicated tanning bed or a full-service beauty salon that offers it as one of many treatments. Just over 3,000 Google reviews cover these tanning salons in Abu Dhabi, and the top pick alone carries close to half of that total.

Short answer: GLOW Beauty Center leads on volume with 4.8 stars across 1,450 reviews, more than any other name here. Eternity Beauty Studio and megaSun lounge Abu Dhabi Mall both post 4.9, with megaSun's Al Murjan branch also at 4.8. Two on this page, both megaSun locations, are dedicated tanning-bed studios; the rest are full beauty salons that include tanning among their services.

Man Of Cave - Al wahda mall Branch

4.8478 Google reviews

Man Of Cave is a men's grooming salon inside Al Wahda Mall offering haircuts, beard styling, and massage services, positioned as a family-friendly barbershop rather than a tanning studio. Reviewers name specific barbers, including Nabeel and Nabil, and describe a modern, clean space designed for both adults and children. The brand's own site does not list tanning among its stated services.

What people praise

Named barbers repeatedly praised for attention to detail and face-shape-suited cuts
Described as a welcoming, family-oriented space for grooming
Clean, modern facility mentioned across multiple reviews

Worth knowing

This is a grooming and barbering salon; it does not appear to offer tanning services directly, so confirm before booking if tanning is your goal

Our take: A strong rating for men's grooming, but if a tan is specifically what you're after, this isn't the place. Worth including here for readers comparing the wider Al Wahda Mall beauty options.

megaSun lounge Al Murjan - Indoor tanning salon

4.8439 Google reviews

megaSun lounge Al Murjan is a dedicated indoor tanning studio on Airport Road, part of a chain that also runs locations across Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Its own site describes an advisor-led approach, with staff building a session plan around the client's skin rather than the bed's default settings. Reviewers name staff members Rayan, Kai, and Pearl directly for their guidance during sessions.

What people praise

A dedicated tanning studio rather than a general beauty salon add-on
Staff praised for explaining sessions and skin considerations clearly
Long-term regulars report using the same location for years

Worth knowing

One detailed review describes a faulty machine and an unhelpful staff response to a shortened session
Phone lines were reported as hard to reach during one visit

Eternity Beauty Studio Russian Salon - Abu Dhabi ستوديو تجميل الخلود

4.9370 Google reviews

Eternity Beauty Studio is a multi-service beauty salon near the World Trade Center Mall offering nails, lash extensions, brow threading, waxing, and haircuts under one roof. Its own site describes itself as a premier ladies' beauty salon rather than a tanning specialist. Reviewers frequently name multiple technicians across different services in the same visit, suggesting a broad team rather than one standout stylist.

What people praise

Multiple technicians named directly and praised for detail-oriented nail and lash work
Reviewers describe a comfortable, professional atmosphere across several service types
Staff responsive to feedback, including one detailed exchange about wax quality

Worth knowing

One reviewer reported nail chipping within a week despite a repair under the salon's guarantee policy
Like Man Of Cave, tanning is not listed among its stated core services, so confirm availability before booking

megaSun lounge Abu Dhabi Mall - Indoor tanning salon

4.9289 Google reviews

megaSun lounge Abu Dhabi Mall is the sister location to the Al Murjan branch, operating a dedicated tanning studio on the third level of Abu Dhabi Mall with modern beds and an advisor-led session approach. Reviewers describe staff providing towels, eye protection, and sanitizer as standard, and several single out staff member Pearl by name across multiple reviews. It's part of the wider megaSun network spanning Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

What people praise

A dedicated tanning studio with modern equipment reviewers describe as clean and well maintained
Named staff, particularly Pearl, praised repeatedly for making first-time visitors comfortable
Reviewers note extras like towels, sanitizer, and eye covers included as standard

Worth knowing

The smallest review base on this list, so its 4.9 rating rests on less data than the salons above it

How we score

Rating is the live Google star average for each business. Review volume measures how many customers have actually left a review, weighed against other Abu Dhabi beauty and tanning businesses. Confidence blends the two, so a rating built on over a thousand reviews carries more weight than the same rating from a few hundred. Recency tracks how recently people are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change any of these numbers.

What to know about tanning costs in Abu Dhabi (2026)

Pricing for tanning sessions and beauty treatments varies by business, session length, and whether you buy a single visit or a package. None of the businesses on this list publish a fixed tanning price on their own sites, so confirm the per-session or package cost directly before booking.

Serving Abu Dhabi

These businesses span Al Nahyan, Al Wahda Mall, Airport Road, near the World Trade Center Mall, and Abu Dhabi Mall, covering much of central Abu Dhabi. Searching for a tanning salon near me? Each listing below shows a live phone number and address so you can reach the closest option and confirm what services it offers.

What to ask before you book a tanning session

Is tanning a service you offer directly, or should I book elsewhere for that specifically?
What equipment do you use, and how old are the tanning beds?
Is a session or package the better value for how often I plan to visit?
Do you provide protective gear like eye covers as standard?
What’s your policy if a machine malfunctions mid-session?
Do you offer a consultation on the right exposure time for my skin type?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these businesses?

We pulled live Google ratings and review counts for tanning salons and beauty businesses offering tanning in Abu Dhabi, then ranked by a blend of rating, review volume, and how recently people are still reviewing.

How often is this updated?

We verified this data in July 2026 and refresh the rankings periodically as ratings change.

Which of these are dedicated tanning studios?

Both megaSun lounge locations, Al Murjan and Abu Dhabi Mall, are dedicated indoor tanning studios. GLOW Beauty Center, Man Of Cave, and Eternity Beauty Studio are broader beauty and grooming salons, so confirm tanning is available before booking at those.

Do any of these offer spray tanning instead of beds?

None of the businesses on this list specifically describe spray tanning in their own site content or in customer reviews. Ask directly if that’s what you’re looking for.

The bottom line

GLOW Beauty Center is the safe default for a broad beauty visit that includes tanning, with the most reviews on this list. If a dedicated tanning-bed session is specifically what you want, either megaSun lounge location is built for exactly that. Whichever you choose, confirm the service and session cost directly before you book.
