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.

Surge in UAE staycations as residents postpone overseas holidays amid global travel woes
24 June 2025 00:15 MAYS IBRAHIM (ABU DHABI)With geopolitical tensions disrupting global air traffic, many UAE residents are putting travel plans on hold and turning to domestic staycations as a safer, more convenient is among those shelving overseas holiday plans. She had initially considered a summer getaway to Europe with friends but ultimately decided against it due to the risk of flight cancellations. Instead, the 22-year-old Emirati and her friends - group of 10 - are booking a private villa with a pool in Abu Dhabi's Al Bahya area. 'There are still so many ways to enjoy summer here,' she told Aletihad . 'A day at a villa can cost between Dh700 and Dh1,000, and over Dh1,500 if we're staying overnight, but it's worth it for the privacy and peace of mind.' Kawthar also enjoys horse-riding on the beach or relaxing at Kai Beach on their women-only Mahtw, a ticketing staff member at a UAE-based travel agency, said there had been a noticeable uptick in domestic vacation bookings this summer. 'Because of the current situation, there's been about a 50% increase in demand for local getaways compared to last year,' he told Aletihad . 'Resorts in Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, and parts of the Western Region are especially popular. These areas offer resort-style hotels.'Global travel uncertainties, including visa delays and unexpected flight cancellations, have contributed to the trend, Mahtw said.'We're seeing a lot of cancellations,' he said. 'Many travellers are choosing to pause their international plans. If a flight gets cancelled, we process the refund, no problem. But many are choosing to avoid that stress entirely.'Some - like Hisham, a newlywed UAE resident - are using this time to reconnect with loved ones and unwind locally. 'My wife and I were planning to go to Georgia this summer, but with all the flight disruptions, we decided on a weekend resort in Fujairah instead,' he told Aletihad . 'It's peaceful and quiet.' Sarah Al Junaibi, another travel agent, said many UAE residents with booked international trips were hoping the situation would calm down by July or August. 'But we're seeing a definite rise in bookings for staycations and local experiences, especially for families,' she told Aletihad . For Egyptian expat Mariam, a mother of two, this summer was meant to be their first family vacation abroad since relocating to the UAE earlier this year. 'We had planned to visit Turkey in late July, but with all the uncertainty, we're staying put,' she said. 'It's our first summer here, and there's still so much to explore indoors anyway, like museums and aquariums.'
