For guests looking for additional relaxation, the award-winning Anantara Spa at Anantara The Palm Dubai Resort offers 24 treatment rooms, Turkish and Moroccan hammam facilities, Ayurvedic and Thalasso wellness treatments, a beauty salon, and so much more.
We interviewed Spa Director Galina Antoniuk, who shared insider tips, recommended treatments to try, and more:
Why You’ll Love It: Our guests love the Asian-inspired sanctuary on the iconic Palm Jumeirah in Dubai. Anantara Dubai Spa offers signature therapies in harmony with the rich cultural traditions of the Middle East and inspired by the origins of the spa concept from Thailand. Our offering of relaxing therapies that promote balance and well-being in our exquisite hideaway, perfectly designed for serene spa journeys, are popular with both hotel guests and residents of Dubai.
Key Features: The spa features 24 luxurious treatment rooms, including dedicated rooms for Thai massage and a holistic cocoon room. We have five couples suites with a steam bath or sauna, solo pool bath, experience showers, and a whirlpool with Microsilk Technology. Our Turkish and Moroccan hammam facilities are available for ladies, men, and couples.
Bonus: We offer variety of packages with add-ons and special features. We recently launched the Afternoon Indulgence offer, where guests can enjoy a spa treatment then visit The Lotus Lounge for a relaxing afternoon tea.
Insider’s Tip: This is a very good time to make sure we take care of our skin. We have plenty of time to invest in ourselves. I strong recommend regular cleansing and follow the daily skincare routine: cleanser, toner, eye cream, face cream. Exfoliate your skin two to three times a week. I have few easy recipes (coffee, lemon, and honey face scrub or the yogurt and cumber soothing mask). Stay hydrated by drinking lots of water and eat antioxidant-rich food like artichokes, berries, kale, red cabbage, and beans. These are simple steps in maintaining healthy skin.
Unique Treatment: Our locally-inspired treatments such as the Arabian Massage or the Exotic Scrub and Wrap, which exfoliates and rehydrates tired skin—additional benefits include released muscle tension and improved energy. Our trusted therapists work your pressure points with their palms and elbows to stimulate circulation.
Insider’s Favorite: I love the Diamond Life Infusion Anti-Aging and Rejuvenating Facial. It’s a 90-minute Natura Bissé treatment that regulates four key skin-age biomarkers resulting in firmer, more luminous, and visibly younger-looking skin. It’s an amazing “youth elixir” that unveils renewed skin that is soft, smooth, and wonderfully revitalized. I also love the Ultra Nourishing Diamond Rose Body Treatment that uses Arabian Damask rose to refine and protect your skin, leaving it soft and healthy.
Splurge Treatment: Magnesium body treatments by ‘Of The Island Elements.’ Magnesium is one of the seven macro minerals, best absorbed through the skin, that helps us to function normally, including regulating hundreds of enzymatic reactions and biochemical activities. Magnesium contributes to healthy bones, maintaining normal cardiac rhythm, supporting nerve and muscles function, promoting energy levels, and aiding a healthy immune system.
Featured Products: We collaborate with international product houses Elemis, Maison d'Asa, Natura Bissé, and Thalion.
