Heads up, spa fans! The Willow Stream Spa at Fairmont The Palm, Dubai has arrived at the Palm Jumeirah.
What makes it cool? We hear that natural elements of Dubai are reflected in the spa’s color palette, including attributes such as sand and the sea, and in the spa experiences, which use local products and spa traditions. The 17,200-square-foot spa has 13 treatment rooms, including separate massage, facial and treatment rooms, and a duet suite for a traditional Arabian rasul experience, which is a cleansing ritual that uses mineral-rich mud, heat and steam. Good for couples or girlfriend getaways: The spa also has a grand suite with two single suites connected by a large lounge.
Overlooking the water and beach, the ladies’ area offers indoor and outdoor spaces to unwind and enjoy the quiet before or after treatments. The ladies’ spa also has a thermal suite with a large luxury steam experience and experience showers. (These showers use ambient sound, light, aromatherapy and water temperature to provide varying “experiences,” from tropical to arctic.) A private hammam scrub room is available along with an aromatherapy room perfect for women who are pregnant, have high blood pressure, or simply want to relax.
The men’s spa is perfect for gentlemen to relax and recharge in a comfortable club-style atmosphere. The club lounge serves as a calming space to watch the news, read or catch up on the latest scores. The male spa facilities also include a thermal suite with a large aroma steam and sauna, a cooling ice fountain, and several experience showers ideal for muscle relief. A private hammam is also available along with state-of-the-art fitness facilities.
Willow Stream Spa at Fairmont The Palm offers a dedicated treatment menu just for men, including facial and body experiences from the exclusive HOMMAGE product line. The unique private male grooming suites provide a range of face, hand and foot treatments and shave experiences with professional barbers, all in one luxury location.
All therapies at the spa are “energy inspired” in the European tradition and use brands like Kerstin Florian International and the Willow Stream signature collection, ener.g. Treatments also incorporate natural ingredients with the latest technology, including the Willow Stream exclusive K-Lift Age Management System.
Signature therapies at the spa include hamman treatments, such as the hammam kesse, an exfoliation method developed in Morocco that is based on Middle East traditions. Le Sans De Marrakech, a Moroccan-based company, provides exclusive treatments with their products.
