The Emirates Palace is an exceptional hotel that is a palace not only in name. As one of the most luxurious hotels in the world, it also features a magnificent spa inspired by Moroccan spas and body treatments. This spa is spread across 2 floors.
The spa’s ambiance is very relaxing from the moment you enter, with minimal lighting, a small fountain flowing in the middle of the reception, and soft music playing to complete the atmosphere. The team will welcome you and offer you a refreshing drink while comfortably seated in the lounge chairs.
You’ll first consult with the therapist to evaluate the areas you’d like to focus on during the treatment or massage, and to determine the program and choice of products to be used. The spa staff is extremely professional and trained in various treatments and therapies. Hailing from around the world, each member has their own specialty. The spa offers several packages, individual treatments, or massages.
You’ll then be guided to one of the rooms for your massage after changing.
“The Emirates Palace spa stands out for the quality and variety of treatments offered, its typical Moroccan spa ambiance, and the high professionalism of the team that operates there.”
The Spa Menu
In our case, we tried the signature “The Palace Massage,” a 90-minute treatment that reflects the essence and luxurious atmosphere of the Emirates Palace. The treatment consists of three massages accompanied by a special oil of your choice to further enhance your senses. After discussing your goals with your therapist and according to your desired outcomes, you can choose from an oil containing 24-carat gold to “perfectly balance the body and mind,” or an oil using diamond powder to “restore vitality,” or even an oil infused with caviar extracts “for the ultimate relaxation experience.”
During the massage, your therapist will focus on sensitive areas and activate key points in your body to achieve the desired effects: stress reduction, improved sleep, relief from muscle pain, etc.
A true moment of relaxation and pleasure.
The spa also features a grand hammam, a specialty of the center. Built in the tradition of Moroccan hammams, it centers around a central marble table where clients can be covered with special oil, then massaged and scrubbed with a rough sponge. The hammam area also includes a sauna, a jacuzzi, and an ice cave. The alternation between different rooms improves blood circulation in the body. Six different treatments can be chosen in the hammam, which also offers a special package for future newlyweds.
Among other treatments and massages available in the Emirates Palace spa menu, you can mention traditional Thai massage, Swedish aromatherapy massage, a 60-minute foot treatment massage, or a special massage for pregnant women.
The Emirates Palace spa also offers several facial treatments, including one specifically developed for men, as well as special couples’ packages in double rooms.
High-quality skincare products from brands such as Amra, Forlle’d, and Bastien Gonzales, used for treatments and massages, are also available for purchase in the spa’s boutique area.
