Simply Abu Dhabi XXXIV

8 6 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I Treatments The Spa will offer the recently launched Mandarin Oriental’s Signature Spa Therapies, which have been devised to address guests’ increasing desire for simple, effective and authentic spa experiences, which can be extended to one’s home. Developed in consultation with specialists in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and master aromatherapists, each signature therapy consists of a relaxing, hands-on body massage ritual that combines the powerful effects of oriental meridian massage with the therapeutic benefits of custom-blended essential oils, created uniquely for Mandarin Oriental. Adopting a different approach to the traditional spa experience, The Spa at Mandarin Oriental offers a series of innovative and restorative treatments, known as Time Rituals, where guests are encouraged to book ‘Time’ rather than a specific treatment. Each Ritual begins with a recommendation by the spa manager to arrive at least 40 minutes ahead of the actual treatment in order to fully enjoy the facilities available. In addition to its comprehensive array of signature treatments, the Relaxing Bambu and Argan Ritual and the exclusive Barcelona Spring treatments are a celebration of the city’s culture, aromas and colours. The former was created with citrus fruit extracts, while the latter highlights local ingredients including sage, fresh mint and olive oil.
