Our Inspector's Highlights

  • The couple’s treatment room has two Jacuzzis and a spacious steam shower with sleek marble seating and walls. A “star-lit” ceiling completes the space, making it ideal for a romantic dual-pampering day.
  • Bathed in dark browns, the rooms have an immediately comforting and warm feel. Each features a private changing area, adding to the exclusive experience.
  • Athletic business travelers will love the Abu Dhabi spa’s “power lunch.” Offered during weekday office hours, the deal includes a workout and a healthy takeaway meal, making good use of a lunch break.
  • A private fitness studio is available for personal training sessions, as well as twice weekly scheduled yoga classes.
  • Treat yourself to a Natura Bissé facial, tailor-made to rebalance your skin.

Things to Know

  • Not all treatment rooms have a private Jacuzzi and steam room. To ensure you get to enjoy this extra perk, add on a 30-minute soak (like the softening Cleopatra Milk Bath) to your session.
  • The Abu Dhabi spa is at its busiest on Fridays and Saturdays, so be sure to book ahead if you’re planning on indulging in a treatment on those days.
  • On the flip side, be prepared to find a full gym Sunday through Thursday, but plenty of free machines throughout the weekend.

The Treatments

  • Primarily catering to the business traveler, Sense Spa features a menu of express treatments like the 30-minute Upper Body Massage, created for those with packed schedules.
  • The luxury spa retains a sense of place with culturally inspired experiences, such as the Desert Rose treatment that features floral-infused argan oil and exfoliating sand from the Moroccan desert.
  • For something a little different, opt for a hammam cleansing ritual before a more traditional therapy. You’ll get an individual suite connected to the Turkish bath for total privacy.
  • Unfurl your knotted-up muscles with the signature massage, which employs smooth, heated rosewood sticks and an oil with Arabian botanicals.
  • Make a day of it by adding on a pool pass or afternoon tea to your treatment.

The Facilities
  • In line with the local culture, the sexes are separated, but the women’s and men’s relaxation areas are both exactly the same with a Jacuzzi, a sauna, a steam room and a cold shower to lower body temperature and blood pressure.
  • There are two private hammams — no need to worry about public bathing here — in spaces of iridescent bronze mosaic. Each has its own private steam room.
  • A large fitness center features state-of-the-art equipment all provided and regularly updated by Technogym.
