Ayurvedic Spas Mushrooming in Dubai

April 12, 2007

(Ayushveda.com) - The concept of Ayurvedic spas is really gaining ground worldwide. In the recent couple of years, several Ayurvedic resorts and spas have mushroomed in distant areas of the world, making Ayurveda no longer a solitary possession of India . Dubai is one of the most recent in bringing itself up to notch with the Ayurvedic advancements going on in the world. Dubai has seen the almost simultaneous foundations of two prestigious Ayurvedic spas run by the global giant, Le Meridien, at Abu Dhabi and at Al Aqah.

These spa holidays are designed in a very interesting way to get the people spend their summers in cool comfort. The package is of three days and focuses on a complete rejuvenation therapy for its clients. Included in the package are several treatment methods of revival such as aromatherapy, oil massages, music therapy, wraps, body scrubs, hand and foot therapies, facial care massages, steam baths and even holistic methods of treatment. The package is a getaway for people to boost their energy levels within the three-day stay period.

The Abu Dhabi resort of Le Meridien is very close – just an hour's drive from Dubai – and it provides all the features necessary for total rejuvenation of body and spirit. There are different kinds of packages available, but the most popular one is the three-day romantic getaway for two at the resort. This package includes a 45 minute therapy of spa massage for a couple, inclusive of breakfast and dinner. The stay is in a deluxe hotel room for the couple. There is also a family package on similar lines, which provides two interconnecting rooms for the family with almost the same facilities as above. The resort is located in the midst of natural beauty, which gives more meaning to the herbal and nature cure remedies that are given at the location to their guests.

The Al Aqah Resort of the Le Meridien at Fujeirah is farther from Dubai than the Abu Dhabi resort – it’s a two hour drive from the city. However, the distance has its benefits. The resort is calmer and has better natural variety. One more important point is that the drive itself is a major rejuvenating factor as there is no traffic on the roads, and it is more like a nature trail itself. The Ayurveda spa is located on the basement floor of the resort and it provides all the popular therapies that have made the word so popular out there in the west. The abhyangam therapy provided at this resort has really made it very famous.

Both resorts are trying their best to promote Ayurveda as a unique feature of their establishments and are trying to attract clients on its reputation. Ayurveda is being projected as a overall therapy for the body, mind as well as soul; and patrons are promised that they will be able to face the world in a better manner when their visit in the resort is done with.

The Le Meridien resorts are certainly trying to take Ayurveda out to the world. The clients to these resorts are people from all over the world, especially the US and European countries, and they do not mind trying out and enjoying the Ayurvedic therapies.
