Stay Cool in Dubai This Summer with Four Seasons Hotels Dubai

The summer heat in Dubai shouldn’t put a dampener on fun and both Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach and Four Seasons Dubai International Financial Centre have it covered. From cooling spa treatments to soothe aching muscles, a new menu of refreshing champagne cocktails and the hottest new roof terrace in town, lazy pool days accompanied by chilled refreshments and playful inflatables, Four Seasons Hotels Dubai have curated a series of exciting and delicious activities to keep everyone cool in Dubai this summer.

Too Cool for the Pool

When temperatures in Dubai begin to climb, it’s time to retreat to the pool, and with two destinations within the city, guests are spoiled for choice. For those looking to cool off from the city’s heat, Four Seasons Hotel Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) offers a seventh heaven sanctuary on its seventh floor where guests will find its iconic, Instagrammable glass-side pool. If that’s not enough for the perfect shot, guests will find a variety of inflatables to both pose and recline on, making it the ultimate chill out zone in the heart of the city. For those looking for more resort-style living, residents of Dubai can enjoy pool and beach access at Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach when they can rent one of the relaxed and shady beach cabanas for the day. Here they will find delicious ice-pops, fruit skewers and a selection of cucumber and aloe vera based soothing mocktails to ensure they are kept cool this summer.

Pool access at Four Seasons Hotel DIFC is AED 300 per person, redeemable on food and beverage. At Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach, beach cabanas are available for rental for a minimum food and beverage spend of AED 300 per person for a maximum of four guests per cabana, while day villas are available for the rental rate of AED 1,800 per day (weekday and weekend) for up to four guests, AED 800 of which is redeemable on food and beverage.

Cooling Therapies

To temper the hot months in Dubai, The Spa at Four Seasons Hotel DIFC will once again offer a spoiling summer treatment that will both sooth and cool guests this season. The Lemongrass Cooling Therapy is a refreshing practice used on the legs for a cooling effect, performed with the slow beats of Brazilian bossa nova music in the background, and ending with a cold, healthy brew of lemongrass ice tea, with healing health benefits. The treatment is 45 minutes, and begins with revitalising cold leg compresses, followed by an energising leg massage using cooling aloe vera, and then the gentle placement of ice cubes to reduce swelling and leave the legs feeling lighter. Pressure points also include the head, neck, shoulders, arms and hands with the gentle use of lemongrass essential oils. The treatment ends with a slow deep back massage for complete relaxation, followed by a refreshing lemongrass tea. Lemongrass Cooling Therapy is priced at AED 350, tax included.

The Pearl Spa at Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach is a perfect sanctuary away from the desert heat, offering a haven of peace and tranquillity throughout 10 luxurious treatment rooms and the glass domed climate-controlled indoor pool. Unique to the summer season, expert Four Seasons therapists have curated a menu of cooling treatments to temper the summer heat. Highlights include the 60 minute Summer Breeze Body and Face Experience, which involves an indulgent coconut oil based leg and foot massage, combining the use of Cryo-Sticks that are designed to soothe the skin and regulate blood circulation. Stainless steel Cryo-Sticks store maximum thermal energy, ensuring cold is diffused in contact with the skin for an optimal tightening and calming effect on the body and mind. Guests can customise their experience by letting the therapist know focus areas such as back, neck and shoulders or massage on hands, arms and scalp before surrendering with the fresh facial. Summer Breeze Body and Face Experience is priced at AED 650, tax included.

Throughout the summer months, guests of both Four Seasons spas can enjoy 30 percent savings on all 60 minute treatments.
