Spa Salvation

Escape the mayhem of Dubai and indulge in a spot of spa therapy!



In a city as fast paced and hectic as Dubai, the need for relaxation and escapism is upmost. We put up with the daily drain of the pollution of heavy traffic, dusty construction sites, the battle against the AC and the fight against the sweltering heat, but sometimes we need to take a break and really pamper our bodies and minds.

We have to take a step back from the mayhem and allow our bodies to re-align themselves and rejuvenate before once again submitting them to the stresses and strains of life in Dubai. There are many ways to do this, but seeing as Dubai is home to so many wonderful spas, why not make the most of what is on offer. Why should Dubai's spas only be for the tourists and holidaymakers? Whatever treatment you are after and from whatever part of the world, you will find it here in Dubai.

Sometimes, taking time out to pamper ourselves isn't that easy and convenience is the key. SensAsia Urban Spa in The Village Mall, Jumeirah is an ideal spa for those high-living city dwellers who want an express treatment in a contemporary yet Balinese inspired setting. Another city-slick contemporary Asian-inspired spa is Dragonfly Spa in Burjuman.

It is the perfect retreat for weary shoppers in need of a little spa therapy.
For Dubai's financial wizards a male spa has now opened up in DIFC, the Urban Male Lounge and offers massages, facials, shaving etc while incorporating all the latest design and technology. 1847 and H20 Male Spa in Emirates Towers are also perfectly placed for Sheikh Zayed Road's busy male office workers and are chick free zones!

If you like to keep on the pulse of the latest happenings then why not indulge in a treatment in one of the eleven treatment rooms at one of Dubai's newest deluxe spas on the block, Heavenly Spa at the luxury Westin Hotel (next to Le Meridien Mina Seyahi).


Or at the opposite end of town, the newly opened Rafflesamrita at Raffles Dubai offers the ultimate in grandeur and sophisticated spa going.
If you are a regular spa bunny then why not try something a little different and opt for a Hammam treatment at Oriental Hammam in the One&Only Royal Mirage. Famed for its traditional hammam treatments this trip to the spa will leave you feeling buffed and glowing -the Grand Lube of spa treatments!!

If your pampering allowance is a little tight then a simple Thai massage at Bliss Relaxology in Garhoud (behind Chilis restaurant) won't blow the budget, or for those with money to blow, then why not overindulge yourself with t

The Talise Absolution treatment at Talise Spa in Al Qasr at The Madinat Jumeirah.
