Dubai: The Top 4 Wellness Oases
Our Dubai Wellness Tips: Hidden Gems and Established Greats
Our second campaign takes us to Dubai. Here we not only explored the vibrant parts of the city, but also found a break from the hustle and bustle in the many wellness centers. The following five wellness hideaways in Dubai are really worth a visit to a day spa or even a complete trip with a longer stay.
Samadhi Wellness
Yoga meets wellness at Samadhi Wellness
Samadhi Wellness is the place to be when it comes to yoga combined with wellness in Dubai. The versatile day spa offers a range of courses, treatments, a café and a shop. Equipped with an outdoor pool, a sauna and an ice bath, the Samadhi offers a comprehensive wellness experience in modern, clean architecture, which still manages to convey warmth and well-being through the use of wood and earth tones.
The wellness center offers two types of yoga studios:
> “Reflect”: With infrared radiators, the studio can offer hot yoga.
> “Connect” is a smaller room for up to 12 participants that can be opened into the garden.
Both rooms offer a variety of classes, from Vinyasa to Flow and Sound Healing to Deep Stretch Classes and Ladies Only Classes.
What we liked most about Samadhi Wellness
After a yoga class or a treatment, the pool, sauna and cold bath can be used free of charge. The Shamadi can also be booked as an event location; however, if it is used by third parties, Samadhi insists on providing its own trainers and catering.
Prices Samadhi Wellness: The first yoga class is 67 AED, which is about 17 euros.
Awaken spa
Wellness variety in the Awaken Spa
The Awaken Spa is located in the Atlantis - The Royal resort in Dubai and can be used as a day spa as well as by hotel guests. The spa alone offers a hammam, a variety of massages and revitalizing facial treatments on a total area of over 5,000 square meters. The feel-good place impresses with its stylish, minimalist design, which creates a calming atmosphere and is perfect for escaping everyday life.
What we liked most about the Awaken Spa
Although the resort is large and well-visited, the Awaken Spa manages to shield visitors from the hustle and bustle of the hotel and immerse them in a world of relaxation. The range of luxurious treatments is incredibly diverse and also includes options for personal training, as well as yoga and bodywork.
Prices Awaken Spa: A one-hour massage costs 820 AED (equivalent to 205 €), facials start at 680 AED (170 €)
Talise Spa
Innovative approaches at Talise Spa
Located in the Burj Al Arab, the breathtaking view from the 18th floor captivates visitors to the Talise Spa as soon as they arrive. It is not just the highly professional therapists that set the wellness center in Dubai apart. The innovative approach of mental wellness treatments through hypnotherapy, aura reading and Lucia light therapy is a real speciality and makes a visit indispensable.
What we liked most about Talise Spa
The holistic approach at the Talise Spa gave us a particularly balanced feeling. The range of treatments leaves nothing to be desired and tempts you to try new things. We recommend the effective anti-cellulite contouring treatment and the detox body treatment.
Prices Talise Spa: Facials start at 1050 AED (260 €), massages at 950 AED (240 €)
CHI SPA
ASIAN TRADITION IN THE SHANGRI-LA HOTEL
The stylish Chi Spa in the exclusive Shangri-La Hotel focuses on holistic healing methods. These are deeply rooted in Asian traditions. The spa follows the philosophy that physical health is closely linked to inner well-being. With the diverse traditional rituals, calming facials and relaxing massages, we were able to recharge our batteries and find peace in the spacious common areas.
