Spa Journey

Refresh, cleanse and begin a new year with a focus on wellness at Amara Spa at the Park Hyatt Dubai

From its peaceful location on the Dubai Creek to the serenity cultivated within the Moorish-inspired hotel itself, Park Hyatt Dubai has long been a haven for the city’s residents and visitors. While luxurious guest rooms and five-star restaurants are a draw to the resort, the idyllic Amara Spa, with lush courtyards and tranquil water features, is a destination all on its own. The palatial white and blue-domed spa includes eight luxury suites – three of which are for couples – each with its own spacious terrace and indoor and outdoor rain showers. Visitors to the spa also have complimentary access to the hotel’s pool with comfy loungers and palm islands.

Using Europe’s finest treatments and high-quality products like Anne Semonin, Natura Bissé and Aromatherapy Associates, Amara blends Arabian touches into the experience through its Jewels of Arabia spa menu. Highlighting precious gems and their rejuvenating powers – diamonds for energy, clarity and revival; emeralds to detox, cleanse and heal; rubies for restoration, anti-ageing and revitalisation; and sapphires to calm, relax and balance – in an extensive variety of treatments with carefully chosen essential oils, stress melts away to provide an entirely relaxing experience. The indulgent Ruby – Spirit of Arabia Ceremony is a two-hour treat with Aleppo soap and a full-body massage using a signature massage oil of frankincense, amber, myrrh and sandalwood.

Start the new year on a path to positive wellness with Amara’s new Rose of Arabia package available through January. Cleansing, relaxing and enhancing, the 90-minute journey is beneficial to the mind and body. Starting with a bamboo scrub body polish with a lengthy rose oil massage following, the experience ends with a selection of fresh juices, aromatic teas and healthy cuisine – an ideal way to reboot after a decadent holiday season.
