Dubai is replete with iconic buildings, but if one were to draw up a list of the top 5, the Burj Al Arab Jumeirah would make it pretty close to the top. A skyscraper with a distinctive sail-shaped profile, commanding its own island off the coast, it has been a mascot for Dubai’s luxurious modern avatar ever since its unveiling. It is also among the most luxurious hotels in Dubai, where guests ride chauffeur driven Rolls Royces, dine at one of the finest seafood restaurants in the world, and spend their nights in regal suites with gulf views and the top-of-the-line gadgets and amenities. A defining aspect of the Burj Al Arb Jumeirah experience is its rest and relaxation facilities, particularly the breathtaking Talise Spa. An oasis in the sky, it looks upon the Arabian Gulf from 150 meters above, and spreads over two floors of the sail-shaped tower. Within it are separate relaxation and rejuvenation areas for men and women, in addition to common amenities for couples. Indoor infinity pools, saunas, steam rooms, plunge pools, Jacuzzis and treatment rooms make up the spa, and adjoining it is a full-service fitness center with sports and gym facilities. Talise Spa offers treatments from luxury skincare brands including Sundari, Themae and La Prairie. From couples’ massages and romantic moonlight swims, to caviar facials and anti-ageing treatments, to chakra balancing, aromatherapy, Swedish and Thai massages, to reflexology and body sculpting treatments, there is enough on offer at the Burj Al Arab spa to help you find your own kind of bliss.
