A spa is the perfect sanctuary away from the heat, and with many now having reopened across the UAE, it’s the perfect time to show yourself some TLC.

Feel the stress ease away as soon as you slip into a lux dressing gown and fluffy slippers. We are strong advocates of arriving at the spa as early as you can to make the most of the fabulous facilities on offer before your treatment. Not only will you feel extra relaxed during the appointment, but it also allows for your skin and muscles to unwind.

With numerous options available across the seven emirates, we have picked out the ones we have tried ourselves to make sure you have a dreamy experience, even if it’s just for an hour.

Make sure to book in advance as spas are running at reduced capacity to keep the guests safe and note that certain facilities and treatments are still on hold.
