Armani/Spa
If you like extra pampering for your dirhams, then Armani/Spa’s Valentine’s deal might be for you. For any 80-minute treatment booked this month, you’ll get an extra 80-minute experience free (so you can either enjoy it yourself or bring a pal).

Luban Spa
This recently opened spa specialises in treatments using frankincense, so you know you’ll smell incredible after its Valentine’s themed package.
