Traveller UK has released the results of its annual readers’ spa awards – with a nod going to Caracalla Spa at Le Royal Meridien Beach Resort &
Spa, Dubai.
Voting was divided into regions, with Africa, Indian Ocean and the Middle East one
of the most competitive groups, but despite its wealth of tropical rivals, Caracalla
still managed a top 10 position – the only spa in the Middle East to do so.
According to general manager, Pam Wilby, the award was a magnificent
achievement that reflected not only the spa facilities, but also the hospitable
attitude of the therapists who encouraged guests to visit again and again.
She said: “We were one of the first hotels on the beach to open a dedicated spa
three years ago, and it was a success from day one. Hotel guests now view these
services as essential for a relaxing holiday – and residents in Dubai too are keen
users of Caracalla facilities.
“I have to give credit to our therapists too – apart from the latest spa treatments,
customers are also looking for a comfortable environment, and one where they
are happy to return – and this is what they find at Caracalla.”
The Caracalla Spa at Le Royal Meridien Beach Resort & Spa includes separate
men’s and ladies’ sauna, steam and Jacuzzi facilities, plus a central unisex
Hammam with five plunge pools set in a Romanesque atrium complete with draped statues, potted plants and subtle lighting.
Additional facilities at the club include a large gym with Gulf views and ranks of
Nautilus resistance and StarTrac cardio machines; a separate aerobics studio,
juice bar and changing rooms with direct access to the resort’s pools and beach
area. |
