AWAKEN Wellness at Atlantis The Royal
Designed with black timber, Italian marble and subtle water features, AWAKEN Wellness at Atlantis The Royal is an elegant sanctuary-like space that offers plenty of reasons to tend to your mental relaxation, emotional well-being and physical fitness while on your Dubai holiday.
Spread across more than 54,300 square feet, this world-class spa houses 15 luxurious spa suites, each complete with a shower and makeup vanity, two specialty suites with multifunctional treatment beds, a hammam sensorium and elevated wet facilities. Among the spa’s range of services is the 60- or 90-minute Massages of the World, where you can choose from global therapies, including a deep-tissue Philippine hilot (that incorporates banana leaves and coconut oil), a traditional Indian massage and a flexibility-focused Thai massage.
After your treatment, the spa’s quiet lounge area invites you to curl up in a chromotherapy senses pod and relax with a cup of elderflower tea, adaptogen shots or a nourishing plant-based beverage.
For those keen to work on their physical fitness, a gym offers state-of-the-art equipment, personal training and group classes, while the 25-meter lap pool hosts aquatic workouts including kickboxing and H2O circuits. Yoga sessions, guided meditation, sound baths and movement-based classes, also held in the mindfulness pavilion and meditation garden during the cooler months, are excellent ways to decompress.
A salon and nail bar accommodate men and women, promising to leave you looking as rejuvenated as you feel. An aesthetic wellness clinic provides a wide range of regenerative treatments, like ozone therapy, and aesthetic services, including fillers and botox.
- To treat yourself (or a significant other), it’s worth splurging on a treatment in the VIP Deluxe Suite that comes with a massive terrazzo tub, fireplace, rhassoul steam room and day bed. It’s a sumptuous setting for the 150-minute Twin Flame couple’s service that involves a relaxing bath, steam scrub, wrap and a deep muscle stone massage.
- At the Dubai spa, you won’t need to leave your children behind if you don’t want to — some spa suites can accommodate a family of four with kiddie massage tables for two children and the spa menu features massages and facials for preteens and teens.
- It’s a good idea to arrive at least 30 minutes earlier than your scheduled session. Drawing on the elements of fire, air, water and earth, the Elements Retreat takes standard wet facilities up a notch. Journeying through the circuit’s charcoal sauna, aroma steam, hydrotherapy pool, halotherapy salt room and alchemy shower will leave you feeling considerably relaxed even before your treatment begins.
- For skin that feels nourished and revitalized, try the 90-minute Golden Goddess in the regal Hammam Sensorium. This Turkish-style hammam treatment begins with a lavish foam massage that is followed by the application of a body polish, rhassoul body mask and hair elixir. It concludes with a massage, featuring gold-enriched products used for each step.
- All treatments at AWAKEN Spa use top-quality vegan and cruelty-free products by renowned brands such as Augustinus Bader, Amra, Subtle Energies, 111Skin and Dr. Barbara Sturm. Besides these, the spa’s signature line of products made in the UAE, used in some services, is also available for purchase at the boutique.
- For a sense of place, pick a treatment from The Local List, which incorporates products enriched with luxe regionally inspired ingredients such as desert sand, date sugar and date shea butter. The 60-minute Gulf Salt and Moringa Leaf Infusion leaves your skin rejuvenated after a scrub, wrap and hydration with products made from Gulf salts, date seeds and moringa leaves and flowers.
- For a mindful take on wellness, look at The A-List, a collection of treatments that ventures beyond the physical and combines impactful energy therapies such as reiki healing, chakra balancing and breathwork, with a massage.
- Beat jet lag and improve your sleep quality through guided yoga nidra meditation, a hydrating facial and lymphatic bodywork with a bronze kasa bowl during a two-hour Recovering Traveller treatment.
