Beauty and Fashion Dubai

As SensAsia Urban Spa enters its eleventh year, the UAE’s largest and most successful spa chain is going back to its authentic Oriental roots… and launching a treament offering an education in relaxation.

 

Eastern Renewal is a brand new spa experience for September, which was lovingly-created by SensAsia’s founder and managing director Salina Handa. Born in Thailand, and having followed a calling back to the country every year of her life, Salina’s influence can be found in all corners of the four completely bespoke spas she has brought to Dubai – from their signature blend oils through to the names of each treatment room, that represent a map of memories for the long-term Dubai resident, businesswoman and mum-of-two.

  

“From the day it was just a seed in my head, SensAsia was always about a complete, multi-sensory journey,” says Salina. “I wanted, and still want, every person that leaves the spas to feel they have escaped the stresses of city life, in both body and mind, and that is why we ‘take’ them to the tranquillity of the East, through not just the treatment they choose, but the smallest of touches we ensure are all around them.”

Proud to be a homegrown brand, SensAsia’s focus has always been on the wellbeing of the UAE. “We have Dubai-ites in mind throughout the whole SensAsia journey,” assures Salina. “We keep treatments affordable, so they can be built into lifestyles, and our menu constantly evolves based on feedback and ideas from our long-term SensAsia devotees. They have been coming to us for 11 years. So they know what they like!”

THE TREATMENT: EASTERN RENEWAL – 120 minutes – 710dhs

Eastern renewal starts with the Super Clean Scrub. Using Mio’s world-famous Triple Body Buff, the Super Clean Scrub is the deepest, brightest and softest ever body polish to appear on the SensAsia menu. In 30 minutes, the swift, intense and invigorating top-to-toe treatment encourages cell regeneration, brightens and significantly improves strength and elasticity – and is an ideal solution for dry, post-holiday season skin.

Once scrubbed and at its sparkling best, the body is soothed with an ultra-warming 90-minute massage. Using an exclusively designed Asian-sourced oil, containing Rosewood, Juniper, Clove and Fennel, this calming, indulgent and mind-altering massage is coupled with a heated ‘Back Pack’ – which is placed on the body’s most tension-carrying spots to target and relieve pain, zap stress, and transport you even further Eastwards…

Eastern Renewal has a total treatment time of 120 minutes and costs 710dhs – which offers a saving of 129dhs on the cost of individual treatments. It is available at all SensAsia Urban Spa locations fromSeptember 1.
