Abu Dhabi is one of the most famous cities in the world, and the capital of the opulent nation of UAE. If you’re a fan of exotic and indulgent spa treatments, this city has a lot to offer.
Four-Handed Massage
This is a three-hour ritual utilising volcanic rocks and warm oils which is conducted by a team of two expert masseuses utilising long sweeping motions in perfect sync. There’s also some vigorous scrubbing with desert sand involved.
Arabian Rose Ritual
This four-hour long ritual includes a sugar body polish, roses and milk bath, a rose body mask, a rose body massage and a rose facial. There’s even a light lunch provided half-way into the session. Interestingly, this ritual is offered by one of the most isolated Abu Dhabi spa resorts in the nation, which is Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara.
Hammam Ritual
Another distinctly Arabian spa treatment, this ritual involves black soap washing, Kese mitt scrubbing and warm baths in a strikingly traditional Middle-Eastern bathhouse setting.
Exceptional Ritual
As far as spa treatments go, this is one of the most comprehensive, lasting five hours. The Exceptional Ritual features floral baths, exfoliations with green-tea and sea-salt, sea-weed and algae face masks and a light lunch in the middle.
