A Sanctuary of Serenity – Whatever one’s progress on the road to personal wellbeing, the resort’s Luxury Spa provides a welcoming waypoint to further the journey. Surrounded by palm trees and designed with artistic, Arabian-style interiors, the Spa unfolds as a sanctuary of serenity and exquisite comforts, welcoming guests with jacuzzi plunge pools, steam and sauna, plus with a dozen treatment rooms including a lavish couples’ suite for sharing distinctive experiences such as the Couples’ Chocolate Delight, with exfoliation via coffee bean particles and a chocolate-cream massage.

Ancient Healing for Contemporary Wellbeing – Through the visionary leadership of Spa Director Ina Iordachescu, the Spa has continued to develop high-touch therapies and treatments inspired by Egyptian traditions, some dating back thousands of years.
