A Middle Eastern-inspired spa has taken up residence at Palm West Beach

Saray Spa is now open at Marriott Resort Palm Jumeirah.

Marriott Resort Palm Jumeirah has been full of surprises since its debut in December 2022 — 608 thoughtfully designed guestrooms and suites aside, the resort at Palm West Beach is home to ten dining venues spanning flavours and influences from the likes of Italy, Japan, Korea, Peru and the Levant. Now, taking its R&R offerings up a notch is the debut of Saray Spa.

Synonymous with opulence, the Middle Eastern-inspired spa welcomes visitors and residents alike to seek relaxation and refuge within its stunning surrounds, transporting them worlds away from the lively Palm West Beach below. Here, tradition and innovation seamlessly blend to offer timeless remedies alongside technologically advanced treatments, each designed to nourish, relax and revive. The extensive facilities include dry saunas, steam rooms and Jacuzzis.

We’re told that the spa menu has been expertly curated to encompass a selection of over 40 massages, rituals and holistic facials including The Healthy Glow, HydraFacials, Agran Ageless, as well as body treatments and hammam experiences. Saray Spa uses natural, organic products from Maison d’Asa as well as products that pair nature with science from cosmeceutical facial and body lines by BABOR. The signature treatments at this new venue include the Hammamesque Rose & Oud Opulence, which offers a cleansing exfoliation, soothing body wrap with rose blossom rhassoul, and an argan hair mask. It’s all followed by a tailored full-body massage and an organic facial.

There’s also an elegantly designed hammam, with three individual tables crafted from traditional Carrara marble — perfect for an individual treatment or a communal space to share with friends, family or loved ones. Saray Spa’s hammam experiences are the perfect blend of tradition and innovation, taking the concept to a whole new level with its modern twist on this age-old wellness practice. At the heart of the spa’s offering is the one-of-a-kind modern Desert Sand Hammam treatment by BABOR, which has been made especially for Saray Spa.

As for the pressed for time? They can choose from an innovative menu of express treatments, carefully curated to revive guests in under 30 minutes to renew for their journey ahead. Guests can also take advantage of progressive wellness technology with the Theragun Recovery Massage, a treatment designed to decrease muscle tension and soreness while instilling a deep sense of relaxation. Guests can also add on the RecoveryAir JetBoots by Therabody to any treatment, using the power of pneumatic compression therapy to breathe new life into tired muscles. And that’s not all; the pinnacle of luxury and privacy comes together in the exclusive, couple’s treatment suite where every detail has been carefully crafted to create an intimate ambience.

The 13,350-square-foot Saray Spa pays homage to the ancient Caravanserai, a place for travellers to rest, recover and rejuvenate along the old Silk Road. As a result, its décor embraces a colour palette of desert tones, white natural materials, oak panels and earthy ceramics create an instant sense of serenity. Accented with scents of myrrh, oud, and amber, each room offers a truly immersive experience that captures the ambience of a traditional Caravanserai. Guests can enjoy services in one of the ten treatment rooms and two express studios.
