Shangri-La Hotel, Dubai is located on Sheikh Zayed Road, the main road in Dubai, which is where many of the city’s most architecturally stunning buildings are located. Just minutes from Dubai Mall and City Walk, the hotel has spacious contemporary rooms that offer stunning views of the skyline or the Arabian Gulf. People come from far and wide to take pictures on Level 42, which is one of Dubai’s most photogenic spots that offers exclusive access to the best city views.

The hotel includes a fully-equipped Health Club that has a gym with state-of-the-art cardiovascular training and weight training systems, along with an outdoor swimming pool, and hot whirlpool bath. CHI, The Spa at Shangri-La Hotel, Dubai offers guests a relaxing sanctuary for personal peace, enchantment, and well-being. Their treatment menu is based on authentic natural healing methods found in traditional well-being practices that are shared by many Asian cultures, and every spa service can be customized according to each guest’s personal health and wellness goals.

We chatted with Mayolina Bona, Health Club & Spa Manager at Shangri-La Hotel, Dubai, who shared details about the spa’s amenities, treatment recommendations, special spa bonuses, and more.

Why You’ll Love It: They love the quality of service that is provided. Our masseuses are expertly trained and our treatments are unique to the CHI, The Spa brand. 

Key Features: CHI, The Spa at Shangri-La Hotel, Dubai features ZENTS products, which are formulated with up to 98% organic ingredients. These products are utilized in treatments but can be purchased at CHI, The Spa’s boutique so guests can pamper themselves at home.  The boutique also sells various products to assist in well-being and relaxation, from incense and body lotions to sleep-enhancing pillow sprays and our famous CHI, The Spa robes.  

Snacks Served: We have a variety of detox water that changes daily (lemon, cucumber, strawberry, etc.), as well as dried fruit, fresh fruit, ginger tea, and almonds. 

Bonus: Every guest is welcomed with our Asian hospitality from the heart; while in the waiting area they are treated to fresh brewed ginger tea, dried fruits, and nuts, as well as detox water. After their treatment, guests will have access to our facilities to take a moment for themselves. 

Insider’s Tip: Arriving at least 30 minutes before your treatment allows you to relax and get the most out of your treatment, and staying at least 30 minutes after allows you to really decompress and make the most out of your experience. 

Unique Treatment: The Signature Asian Blend massage is our brand’s signature treatment and can only be found at CHI, The Spa. Our signature massage will take you on a journey through Asia, combining traditional Asian techniques, including Thai pressure points, Balinese and Malaysian strokes, and Chinese energy flow. This treatment will restore and balance your energy throughout your entire body.

Splurge Treatment: The Arabian Ritual is an Arabian-inspired spa journey. Commence with a full-body lemon and coffee scrub before your body is enveloped with rose and Rassoul clay. Finish with a relaxing aromatherapy massage that utilizes essential oils, designed to strengthen the body’s vital energy so that you can emerge with a renewed spirit. Includes a 30-minute lemon coffee scrub, 30-minute rose and Rassoul clay wrap, and a 60-minute aromatherapy massage

Insider’s Favorite: The Signature Asian Blend Massage, as I feel it covers all of your needs and is a favorite amongst our guests too. 

Featured Products: ZENTS for our body treatments and Biologique Recherche for our facials.
