INDULGE Dubai is no stranger when it comes to exclusive spa treatments, but the Away Spa located at the newly opened W Palm Jumeirah offers a truly unique atmosphere to unwind. An eclectic space, very much like the rest of the W hotels, the spa emulates the playful vibe of the hotel to present a non-traditional spa destination. The spa features a central light feature in the shape of a water drop that hovers over the spa’s mix and mingle space and features a ‘Beauty Bar’. The spa’s pearl-inspired interior reportedly echoes the pearl diving history of Dubai while the dark mosaic tiles emulate the jewel tones seen by divers under the ocean. It’s truly a one-of-a-kind experience. If instead you are looking for a more ‘onsen’ like experience, head to Qua Spa at the popular Caesar’s Palace Bluewaters. It offers a unique
Iyashi Dome experience, which allows you to burn up to 600 calories every session of 30-60 minutes. It’s inspired by a Japanese tradition called ‘Suna Ryoho’, where the locals bury themselves in the sand near hot springs on the beach to eliminate toxins. There’s also The Psammo Concept Quartz Bed which focuses on hot sand therapy. If you’re looking for something with a local flair, head over to the Mandarin Oriental, Jumeirah for their Royal Saffron treatment, complete with blends of exotic 24k gold, saffron and mogra sourced directly from artisan growers and distillers. These ingredients not only assist with cellular regeneration, pigmentation and rejuvenation, but also work towards hormonal balance and emotional equilibrium.
