The Ritz-Carlton Sharq Village Spa
Setting foot inside The Ritz-Carlton Sharq Village Spa is like stepping inside a private palace. Whitewashed walls, antique-inspired furnishings and strategically placed greenery evoke the feel of a sheikh’s sanctuary — and at a dizzying 70,000 square feet, the spa inside Sharq Village & Spa, a Ritz Carlton Hotel certainly feels fit for royalty.
But the ultra-luxe facility doesn’t rest on its looks alone. From the moment you arrive, you’re enveloped in a calming ambiance. A gentle aroma and soothing music set the tone as you’re warmly greeted by attentive staff before being whisked off to your cocoon-like treatment room. Here, you can indulge in a diverse selection of Arabian and Ayurvedic treatments, all featuring locally sourced oils and high-quality products from renowned brands like Natura Bissé. Each service is meticulously designed to provide a deeply relaxing and rejuvenating experience, ensuring that your visit is nothing short of extraordinary.
