Abu Dhabi’s Emirates Palace launches...

The luxurious concept draws on the rich history of healing practices from around the world

Emirates Palace, Abu Dhabi has launched The Hideaway by Emirates Palace Spa, an intimate sanctuary designed to capitalise on the rise in wellness travel.

One of the signature treatments is the bespoke Rose & Oud Haute Couture treatment using Sodashi products, including oud oil, combined with techniques inspired by Arabian traditions. The massage concludes with velvety rose cream application to the hands and the feet.

Recreating the purity of an island escape with white-washed interiors, dreamy fragrances and soothing sounds of the sea, The Hideaway by Emirates Palace Spa can only be accessed by a secret pathway.

Services range from centuries-old acupressure and Thai massage, equally ancient Chinese-style reflexology treatment and East-meets-West aromatherapy to the Argan Oil Head and Hair Treatment, a Rose Cocoon and 'sound baths'.

An extensive range of booster treatments are available as add-ons allowing guests to fully customise their self care experience.

For couples, packages feature a more intimate couples’ suite and opulent bathtub for soaking in.
