design concept and retail offering at The Spa

ELEMENTARY INSPIRATION

CONCEPT

The Spa was launched earlier this

year in February, around the same

time as the hotel. The treatments

and atmosphere at The Spa at

Mandarin Oriental Jumeira,

Dubai draw inspiration from the

UAE's landscape and culture.

Each spa treatment is designed

to soothe both body and mind

with the incorporation of natural

products in a peaceful setting. One

of the signature treatments is the

Nomadic Sensory Journey which

features Emirati drumming as a

unique healing practice. The Spa at

Mandarin Oriental Jumeira, Dubai

has regional exclusivity with LING

New York and incorporates Asian

beauty principles with cutting edge

technology. The UAE will be home

to a second branch of The Spa at

the upcoming Mandarin Oriental

property in Downtown Dubai which

is set to open by late 2021.
