Anantara The Palm Dubai Resort unveils a new hammam this month at its award-winning Anantara Spa, offering guests an ideal destination for a New Year detox or winter sun break.

The newly expanded spa provides a luxurious Asian-inspired sanctuary on Dubai’s iconic Palm Jumeirah, featuring an additional six treatment rooms as well as new male, female and couples’ hammam facilities.

The ground floor of the two-tier spa includes six single treatment rooms with showers, two beauty rooms, a Thai massage suite, a holistic cocoon room, an Ayurveda suite and three couples’ suites, each boasting a Serali steam bath, experience showers and an infinity solo pool bath.

The first floor has doubled the amount of single treatment rooms to eight and includes two new couples’ massage rooms with a built-in sauna, showers and whirlpool with Microsilk technology.

The new Turkish-style hammam includes separate male and female facilities, as well as relaxation areas, changing rooms, a dedicated couples’ hammam, a reception and a boutique offering spa products.

“We are the first spa in the region to introduce Microsilk technology, the bathing experience beauty experts are calling ‘the Fountain of Youth’. Guests will have the option to upgrade their hammam experience and enjoy the oxygen-rich micro-bubble bath, which is a patented process that supersaturates the water with billions of bubbles, raising oxygen levels up to 70 percent higher than common tap water, increasing metabolism and promoting the growth of skin cells,” said Jean-Francois Laurent, general manager, Anantara The Palm Dubai Resort.

An expanded choice of treatments are offered, including wellness therapies from Asia to the Middle East as well as traditional hammam rituals, body and Ayurvedic treatments and results-oriented facials. Guests experiencing Turkish hammam treatments are also treated to the Anantara signature foot ritual.

Anantara Spa uses its own range of branded products and offers a 100 percent natural spa line, featuring carefully selected ingredients with floral notes, fruit blends, botanical extracts, essential oils, spices and nuts sourced from across Asia.

It also utilizes a trio of top European cosmetic and skincare brands for select treatments, including leading Spanish cosmetics brand Natura Bissē; luxury British spa and anti-aging specialist skincare company, Elemis; and France’s Charme D’Orient, using authentic raw materials to create acclaimed ritual treatment products.
