Anantara The Palm Dubai has expanded its spa, adding six treatment rooms as well as new male, female and couples’ hammam facilities.
The two-tier spa now includes 24 treatment rooms, including two new 34sq m (366sq ft) couples’ massage rooms with built-in sauna, showers and whirlpool, featuring Microsilk technology.
“We are the first spa in the region to introduce Microsilk technology, the bathing experience beauty experts are calling ‘the Fountain of Youth,’” said Jean-Fracois Laurent, general manager, Anantara The Palm Dubai Resort.
“Guests will have the option to upgrade their hammam experience and enjoy the oxygen-rich micro-bubble bath, which is a patented process that super-saturates the water with billions of bubbles, raising oxygen levels up to 70 per cent higher than common tap water, increasing metabolism and promoting the growth of skin cells.”
The spa also includes two beauty rooms, a Thai massage suite, a holistic cocoon room, an Ayurveda suite and three couples’ suites featuring a Serali steam bath, experience showers and an infinity solo pool bath.
Guests now have an expanded choice of more 30 treatments covering wellness therapies from Asia to the Middle East, as well as traditional hammam rituals, body and Ayurvedic treatments and results-oriented facials. Each Turkish hammam treatment will include the Anantara signature foot ritual.
Spa lovers looking for a signature experience will also have a choice of two 120-minute spa journeys – the Royal Hammam and Nam Jai.
“The Royal Hammam experience is an East-meets-West combination performed in the couples’ Turkish hammam and treatment room, and epitomises our years of Anantara Spa expertise and the age-old therapies originating in the Middle East,” said Afrah Hamdy, director of spa, Anantara The Palm Dubai Resort.
“For guests looking for a purely Asian experience, the signature Nam Jai treatment – which means ‘water from the heart’ – uses classic Thai ingredients that are fused together to create high quality products that awaken the senses when applied by our talented therapists,” Hamdy continued.
Anantara Spa uses its own bespoke range of branded products, as well as Spanish cosmetics brand Natura Bissé; British skincare company Elemis; and France’s Charme D’Orient, which uses authentic raw materials to create ritual treatment products.
The spa team has also been expanded to 36, including 20 spa therapists.
