The Best Places To Pamper In Abu Dhabi

Downtime in Abu Dhabi doesn’t have to be rushed. Whether it's a new seven-floor sanctuary for ‘golden repair’ or a neighbourhood salon that has perfected its nail art, these are the places that understand the importance of looking after yourself…

SPAS

Kintsugi Space

‘Kintsugi’ is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with a shiny lacquer that highlights the cracks rather than hiding them. A similar philosophy of ‘golden repair’ guides the world-class practitioners at this women-only members club on Al Reem island. Across seven floors, it blends the latest technology with time-honoured rituals in a dazzling array of treatments – its signature ART method combines personalised consultations with naturopathic experts and quantum assessments to produce a bespoke treatment programme. Around and about, you’ll also find infrared and obsidian crystal saunas, and an indoor-outdoor pool with onsen.

The Spa At The St Regis Abu Dhabi

Part of the St Regis hotel on the Corniche waterfront, this spa offers a full range of treatments in its marble-lined rooms. A Radiant Renewal Ritual uses Augustinus Bader products to revitalise, soothe and firm the skin. You could also try a Sound Healing Ritual that starts with a Himalayan salt scrub, or a hot stone massage.

Remedy Room Beauty Lounge

This might be Al Bateen’s most luxurious standalone beauty destination. Its treatment rooms and relaxation areas give this elegantly converted villa the feel of a true haven. Signature treatments like an Ayurvedic head spa – think of it as a facial for your scalp – cleanse deeply as they merge classical rituals with contemporary techniques and products.
