Taking the spa culture to heart, every hotel that opens in Dubai now offers up a new take on spa relaxation and wellbeing.
The result is that spa has become one of Dubai’s top attractions, with spa retreats on offer at the beach, in the city, in the desert or even alongside the golf course or polo field...
Probably the most traditional of all treatments is the hammam, involving scrubbing, steaming and wrapping in rasul muds - less a pampering downtime and more a pummelling interlude with a powerful opponent, but one that not only deep cleanses, detoxes, polishes and softens up the skin but also thoroughly relaxes (ideal after a day at a conference ...).
Taking their influences from slightly farther afield, many Dubai spas also specialise in Ayurvedic treatments, offering up Indian oils, massages and more in addition to the traditional European treatments. Also on offer is something for the gents exclusively, (1847 and H20) - the latter with flotation tank and oxygen lounge.
