Guerlain Spa at One&Only The PalmStep one: Jet over to Dubai. (May we suggest going
direct with Emirates business class? The starlike lights
on the ceiling of the plane will make you feel as cool
as Kylie Jenner presumably does in her Rolls-Royce,
and car service is conveniently included with your
ticket. But we digress.) Located on the very edge of the
super-ritzy—even by Dubai standards—island of Palm
Jumeirah, the hotel feels delightfully secluded. When
you can tear yourself away from your private beach,
get thee to the spa, where Guerlain has developed eight
exclusive new treatments. The ultimate indulgence is
one of the signature facials, using Guerlain Orchidée
Impériale Black, the brand’s potent anti-aging line,
comprising rare black orchids from Peru. A (decid-
edly bougie) suggestion from our beauty director: Get
a massage before your flight home. Your body will be
cocooned in rich oil, which will counter the drying ef-
fects of the plane. UAE not in your travel budget? What
about Toronto? Guerlain’s first stand-alone Canadian
spa will open at Hotel X this fall. h
