Bab Al Shams resort has unveiled an expansive new wellness sanctuary designed to take relaxation to new heights. “Our aim is to become the ultimate wellness destination for restorative trips,” says General Manager Gilles Sohier. “The tranquillity, combined with the rustic charm of the surrounding scenery, provides a secluded sanctuary away from the bustling city.”

Nestled within golden dunes just 45 minutes outside of Dubai, the luxury resort’s new 18,000 square foot Spa & Hammam will feature treatments dedicated to traditional Arabian healing and holistic rejuvenation.

Arriving guests are transported to a sense of calm the moment they pass through the spa’s walls, featuring dark mineral-lined walls for a soothing ambience. Here, discreet spaces cater to all seekers of serenity – whether travelling solo or as a couple. It boasts four multi-purpose single rooms, complemented by two VIP couple suites, steam and sauna rooms, and a state-of-the-art fitness centre.

At the heart of this sanctuary the rituals of Oriental style Hammam take centre stage. Inspired by Moroccan practises, guests can try sand bathing within decadent quartz and oud, black soap exfoliation and Argan massage treatments. Other treatments and therapies draw inspiration from Moorish traditions tailored to engage all senses for an authentic Arabian experience.

Sustainability is at the core of the spa’s practices. Through partnerships with certified organic and leading eco-conscious wellness brands, guests can rely on earth-friendly products sourced from native desert plants and indigenous to the desert habitat.

Bab Al Shams Spa & Hammam also features an avant-garde fitness facilities. Expert-led classes range from yoga to pilates, complemented by calm desert surroundings. The fitness centre will also feature a plunge pool where guests can cool down and refresh following their workout.

Between the spa’s indulgent amenities and seclusion within golden dunes, the debut of this lavish new spa, which is set to open in November, promises an unparalleled opportunity to recharge in mind, body and spirit.
