If you are in Dubai this July and August, and you have been reading our travel features in Phuket, you might want to treat yourself to a little taste of Thailand at one of SOTP’s favourite spa in Dubai, SensAsia Urban Spa.
What we tried: The Eve Lom Ultimate Cleanse
Time: 1 hour
Price: AED540
Therapist: Anna
Thoughts: I haven’t let anyone give me a facial in Dubai in 5 years after a horrific experience at a spa (we won’t name and shame them) that I haven’t been back since. I normally just have some botox at my husband’s clinic but since I am still breast feeding so that isn’t an option right now and my skin has been looking more tired and dull after 4 children. Looking for an alternative I decided to give my trusted spa a try. I think the quality of treatments at SensAsia Urban Spa are great, built on a strong foundation as the owner, Salina Handa, grew up in Thailand, and she has such a lovely and simple philosophy to her brand. The treatment was a lovely cleanse using Eve Lom products and a deep clean with 2 masks applied to the face. Anna was light handed and the treatment was relaxing.
Results: My dull skin after all the hormonal changes from having a baby was brighter and cleaner. It wasn’t a glow as such but my skin definitely looked better – I even got my plastic surgeon husband to judge it and it had his approval! Believe it or not, but I will be back.
Top tip: Ask for Anna – she is a really great and experienced therapist for facials.
Special offers: If a facial is not for you, you can treat yourself to a massage at 40% off the regular prices. A 60-minute Balinese massage normally priced at AED399 is only AED279 until 31 August 2015. These prices only apply to certain signature massages that are booked between 10am and 4pm.
SensAsia Urban Spa has four locations, The Palm Jumeirah, Emirates Golf Club, Souk Al Manzil Downtown Dubai, The Village. For more information about the spa and locations go to www.sensasiaspas.com
