Full body spray tan
Shade chosen with you at the desk, applied in a ventilated booth, and rinsed off after six to eight hours.
15 minutesfrom $35
Bronze by the mist, or by the minute
Spray tans shaded to your skin, and timed sunbed sessions for adults only. UV exposure carries real skin risks, so we talk through your skin before a first session and suggest a spray tan whenever a sunbed is not right for you.

Tans and sessions
Every first visit starts with a short talk about your skin. Times below are for the treatment itself, not the chat beforehand.
Express spray tan
A faster solution you rinse after two to four hours. The longer it stays on, the deeper the colour.
15 minutesfrom $40
Face and shoulders top up
A light layer on the face, neck and shoulders to even out a fading tan before an evening out.
10 minutesfrom $15
Lie down sunbed
A private room for adults only. Staff set the time after a skin check, and goggles are handed over with the key.
Timed by stafffrom $8
Stand up booth
A shorter timed session standing up, for adults only, with goggles and the timer set at the desk.
Timed by stafffrom $7
Skin type talk
Ten minutes before a first tan about how your skin reacts to sun, moles, medicines and which tan suits you.
10 minutesincluded
UV exposure from sunbeds, as from strong sun, carries skin risks, including burning, early skin ageing and skin cancer. We make no health claims for tanning of any kind.
Skin type advice before anything else
Before a first sunbed session we ask how your skin reacts to strong sunlight: whether it burns, freckles or tans, whether you have many moles, and whether you take medicines or use skin products that make skin more sensitive to light. Your answers decide whether a sunbed is offered at all and how long the timer is set for.
If your skin always burns and never tans, if you are sunburnt, or if you have had skin cancer, we will not sell you a sunbed session. A spray tan uses no UV, so it is the tan we suggest instead, and it suits every skin tone from very fair to deep.
- Skin questions on a first visit and every year after
- Photo ID checked for every sunbed customer
- Questions about moles or medicines go to your doctor or pharmacist

Your first spray tan
Most of a good spray tan happens before and after the booth.
The day before
Exfoliate, and shave or wax at least 24 hours ahead so the colour settles evenly on smooth skin.
On the day
Arrive with clean skin and no deodorant, moisturiser or makeup, and bring loose dark clothes for the trip home.
In the booth
Barrier cream goes on hands, feet and brows. Keep your eyes closed during spraying and ask for nose filters if you like.
Afterwards
Rinse with warm water after the time we give you, pat dry, and moisturise every day so the colour fades evenly.
Inside the salon
Two spray booths, three sunbed rooms and a quiet changing area, cleaned between every client.
Tanned and talked through (example reviews)
Fair skin that burns in minutes, so the sunbed was ruled out at the first chat and a light spray tan suggested instead. Even colour, and no orange at the wrists.
A trial tan ten days before the wedding and the final one the day before. The shade on the day matched the trial exactly.
ID checked at the desk, goggles handed over with the key, and the timer set by staff rather than left to guesswork. Spotless rooms on every visit.
Questions about tans, sunbeds and age rules
How old do you have to be to use a sunbed?
Minimum ages and sunbed rules vary by country, and some countries do not allow commercial sunbeds at all. Bronze Bay offers sunbed sessions only to adults aged 18 and over, with photo ID at the desk, even where local rules would allow younger customers.
Can teenagers have a spray tan?
From 16, with a parent or guardian at the appointment who signs the consultation form. Spray tans use no UV, but we still go through skin questions with every client.
Does a tan protect skin from the sun?
No. A spray tan adds colour only and gives no protection at all, and a sunbed tan is not a way to prepare skin for a holiday. Keep using sun protection outdoors, whichever tan you choose.
Who should not use a sunbed?
We will not sell a session to anyone whose skin always burns and never tans, who is sunburnt, or who has had skin cancer. Some medicines and skin products make skin more sensitive to light, so check with your doctor or pharmacist first, and tell us at the desk.
How long does a spray tan last?
Usually five to seven days. Moisturise daily from the first shower and pat dry rather than rub. Long baths, swimming pools and heavy sweating fade the colour sooner.
Is tanning suitable during pregnancy?
Sunbeds are not offered during pregnancy. For a spray tan, check with your midwife or doctor first and let us know, so we can keep the booth well ventilated and the visit short.
Request a tan
Choose the tan and a day that suits you. Expect an answer by the next working day, confirming the time or offering another, and a phone call first if a sunbed request needs the skin type talk.

On the way home
After a spray tan, wear loose dark clothes, skip the gym and keep dry until your rinse time. Rain on the walk home can mark fresh colour, so bring a jacket with a hood.
