Located in the center of the resort, it offers an intimate escape if you want to avoid the hustle and bustle. With its private beach and access to lush gardens, this part of the complex promises calm and serenity. Luxe Wellness Club presents The Residence & Spa, the2,000m² health and beauty institute, with its prodigious treatments and splendid traditional hammam.
The Residence & Spa: the exclusive part of Royal Mirage
As previously mentioned, The Residence & Spa is located in the very heart of Dubai’s vast and prestigious One&Only Royal Mirage. On the other hand, this area is an enclave of exclusivity, much quieter than the rest of the resort. It also boasts an enchanting spa and oriental hammam. That’s why we’re particularly interested in it! Here, luxury and calm reign supreme. The Residence & Spa borders a private beach that stretches for a kilometer across the magnificent bay of Palm Island. But that’s not all: the residence stands proudly amid an oasis of more than 25 hectares of opulent gardens, all within easy reach of Dubai’s dynamic marinas.
Among Dubai’s ultramodern panoramas, The Residence & Spa at One&Only Royal Mirage stands out for its unique character, steeped in history. In fact, contrary to the city’s rather contemporary trend, this building celebrates theEmirates’ architecture and cultural heritage. The design of the residence is inspired by traditional Arabian palaces, with elegant domes, intricately carved arches, and refined mosaics that recall ancestral art and craftsmanship. Ultimately, this attention to historical and architectural detail creates a striking contrast with Dubai’s futuristic skyscrapers!
Then, the tranquility of the pool, complemented by the shady gazebos carefully arranged on the terrace, creates an intimate haven of peace, quite rare in Dubai! These rest areas, nestled among palm trees and caressed by the gentle murmur of fountains, provide an idyllic setting for moments of absolute relaxation.
Luxurious rooms and suites inspired by Arab traditions
The 55 rooms and suites at The Residence & Spa are elegantly designed with deep respect for Arabian traditions. Each space is meticulously appointed with finely crafted wooden furniture, carved arches and traditional mosaics .
Carefully selected authentic works of art evoke the rich history and culture of the region. Particular attention is paid to detail, as evidenced by the sumptuous arabesque-style murals that adorn the walls above the large bathtubs. All in all, these elements combine to create a harmonious blend of tradition and luxury.
The exceptional Spa and traditional hammam
The prestigious 2,000 m² Health and Beauty Institute
The One&Only Spa is a veritable sanctuary of well-being, enhanced by architecture that pays homage to the region’s sumptuous traditional buildings. Dominated by impressive domes and adorned with finely sculpted arches, this space combines refined design with local cultural values, promising a unique Spa experience steeped in ritual.
In a tranquil setting, surrounded by palm trees and punctuated by the gentle murmur of fountains, the 2,000 m² spa is spread over two levels. The top floor is dedicated to a selection of relaxing and rejuvenating treatments, while the second floor is dedicated to tradition with an authentic oriental hammam. This is where you can immerse yourself in the ancient rituals of bathing. This level is also home to a state-of-the-art fitness center, completing a comprehensive wellness offering.
The Spa offers a variety of services, including aromatherapy, body and facial treatments, hot stone massages, hydrotherapy, traditional massages, reflexology, as well as scrubs and wraps.
The oriental hammam with its age-old traditions
The hammam offers a luxurious interpretation of traditional Moroccan baths. Let yourself be guided through the corridors to the heart of the hammam and discover a space adorned with earthenware, illuminated by elegant pools, and dominated by the heated marble table. Wrapped in a pestemal (the traditional towel), you acclimatize to the humid heat, preparing to be purified by the steam of the hammam.
Relax on the marble slab, and enjoy an exceptional scrub by the expert hands of the staff, chosen from among the most qualified therapists in Morocco, Tunisia and Turkey. These highly skilled, delicate and discreet specialists offer an authentic Oriental ceremony. This ceremony includes a traditional black soap cleansing, body scrub, rhassoul wrap, honey mask and moisturizing balm, topped off with a soothing shampoo ritual. Finally, relax and release tension and stress with a personalized body massage in a private room scented with Arabian rose.
Varied gastronomic options
Finally, you’ll notice that there’s no shortage of gastronomic options here! In fact, the catering options are as varied as they are exceptional. First you’ll experience agourmet restaurant at Celebrities, under the direction of three-Michelin-starred chef Mauro Colagreco.
The Beach Bar & Grill invites you to intimate dinners under the palm trees, with a breathtaking view of the Persian Gulf, while Eau Zone offers the perfect atmosphere for watching the sunset, with modern dishes with an Asian touch. Nina seduces with its colorful setting and spicy traditional dishes, such as chicken with tomato butter. Olives offers a more casual experience with its Mediterranean cuisine and bougainvillea-decked terrace. Finally, Tagine suggests an immersion in Moroccan cuisine with its authentic dishes, including roast shoulder of lamb with cumin.
