As part of an ongoing rollout of its Lime spa concept, spa and resort management company Per Aquum’s latest spa has opened at the Desert Palm Dubai in the UAE.

The boutique property in Dubai was due to open last year, but the project was delayed due to unforseen construction and labour issues.

Lime Desert Palm was designed by IMA Interiors of Singapore and equipped by Dalesauna. Facilities include five single treatment rooms, one double room, a steamroom, sauna, cold plunge pool and an ice room.

Elsewhere within Per Aquum’s portfolio, two Maldivian properties – Maakanaa and Soul Salus Fushi – will open later this year. While Maakanaa will feature a Lime spa, Soul Salus Fushi will be a destination spa island.

In 2009, Per Aquum will open the Al Maaden resort in Marrakech, while in 2010, it will launch two properties: Prickly Bay Waterside, Grenada, and Zil Pasyon in the Seychelles.

Plans are also afoot for the company to manage a Cambodian island property, likely to include a Lime spa, which will open in 2010. Details: peraquum.com
