  • Blending European traditions with Eastern techniques, The Ritz-Carlton Spa is a serene respite from the beach and Dubai's famous nightlife.Opt for a locally inspired indulgence, such as the Arabian Felix that combines rose water, Dead Sea salt and camel milk to create a full-body relaxation experience, or try a ritual in the hammam.
