Review: The Spa at Mandarin Oriental
Step inside one of Dubai's most refined spa spaces Some days, the only thing that makes sense is checking out – of your inbox and your brain when it's running like a browser with 37 tabs open. This is your permission slip to opt out – for your mind, body, and that part of you that needs a break from everything. And when you're ready to fully unplug, enter The Spa at Mandarin Oriental, Jumeirah – spacious, quiet, and designed with pure stillness, like a full-on reset button. A welcome that sets the tone View this post on Instagram A post shared by What's On Dubai (@whatsondubai) Walking into The Spa feels like entering another frequency – the air is scented beautifully, the music is mellow, the voices are low, and the lighting is dim. You instantly feel like you've stepped off the grid and into this sacred, silent zone that makes scrolling your phone feel… inappropriate. What's inside Everything in the design is elegant, with minimal yet warm interiors and a flow that invites you to fully let go, in a space that spans over 2,000 square metres. Just off the entrance, there's a small boutique with a curated edit of womenswear, fragrances and skincare – well-chosen pieces that match the vibe of the space. The facilities alone could fill your entire spa day: there's a Vitality Pool, a deeply detoxifying Steam Room and Sauna, and a Relaxation Lounge with tepidarium chairs. There's also a dedicated Hammam suite, nine treatment rooms (including two for couples), and even a VIP suite for when you want to go all out. The treatments If you're here to release the tension, the Blissful Marma Massage (60 min, Dhs750) is a solid go-to. It's all about aligning the body's energy points using Marma therapy and chakra balancing. It's the kind of massage that leaves you feeling physically lighter and mentally clearer. For skin that's looking dull or tired, the Bio Lift & Bio Light Facial (90 min, Dhs1,250) uses microcurrent tech to lift and tone, while LED therapy tackles pigmentation and boosts collagen. It's one of those results-driven facials where you actually leave with a visible glow. The spa also offers advanced and holistic facials, skin-boosting shots, and several signature therapies tailored to your specific needs on the day. You'll also find other types of massages and skincare treatments to choose from, along with dedicated services for hair, nails, and skin health – all handled with the same care and attention to detail the Mandarin Oriental is known for. The robe moment Post-treatment is where the magic unfolds. The relaxation lounge is a beautifully designed, dimly lit, whisper-quiet, tea-sipping space with private cocoon chairs to keep you in the zone. Herbal tea, light snacks, ambient music – it's the ultimate soft landing. Verdict If your idea of wellness means quiet luxury, The Spa at Mandarin Oriental is a space that's been carefully considered from start to finish. The energy, the design, the service, the treatments – they're all in sync. If you've been thinking about taking a break, cancelling your plans without feeling bad about it – this is the place to do it.

Armani's global aesthetic shines in bohemian Emporio Armani show
Giorgio Armani's admiration for other cultures and global aesthetic was on full display at his latest Emporio Armani show, but the designer himself was notably absent. Armani, 90, skipped the customary bow at the Emporio Armani menswear preview for Spring-Summer 2026 during Milan Fashion Week on Saturday, as he recovers at home. His fashion house confirmed his convalescence in advance but did not provide details about his condition. Despite his absence, Armani was deeply involved in shaping the collection, his fashion house said, working closely with Leo Dell'Orco, his longtime menswear director, who took the final bow. Normally, Armani would have posed with the models at the end of the show - another signature moment missing. The Emporio Armani collection carried a free-spirited, Bohemian air - a vision for the youthful adventurer who balances comfort with style, ornament with utility. Models sported braids or silver beads in their hair, and layered accessories: beaded necklaces, charms, tassels, and fringes. The Emporio Armani Spring-Summer 2026 menswear collection during the Milan Fashion Week. Reuters Jackets ranged from softly tailored with sweeping scarf collars - ideal for wind and sun protection - to intricately detailed styles with feather-light touches or loose weaves. Natural fabrics like crepe and linen, often left rough to the touch, contrasted with silky prints inspired by Moroccan mosaics. Trousers varied from gently pleated to dramatically ballooned, paired with long, embroidered tunics. The traveler's ensemble was completed with crossbody bags, tapestry duffels, vintage-style suitcases, woven slippers, and straw hats worn low over the eyes, conjuring the image of a man journeying through sun-soaked lands. For the EA7 Emporio Armani line - his sporty offshoot - Armani leaned into more technical textiles. A desert-inspired capsule collection played out against a soundtrack of howling wind, echoing the stark and elemental feel of the clothes as the models strode through the showroom, which was decorated with sheer curtains. The Emporio Armani collection carried a free-spirited, Bohemian air during the Milan Fashion Week. Reuters The show notes described the collection as "a moment of introspection and identity. Not to pause in contemplation, but to channel new energy into moving forward, while conscious of one's own origins." Armani returns to "shapes and attitudes that have always been present, returning to a founding principle of his aesthetic: A genuine interest in other cultures,'' the notes said. Front-row guests included Olympic champion sprinter Marcell Jacobs, actors André Lamoglia, from the Netflix series "Elite," and Michael Cooper Jr., currently starring in the Netflix series "Forever,'' and NBA players Kawhi Leonard of the Los Angeles Clippers and Anthony Black of the Orlando Magic.
