Slipping away from routine, Fernanda Langhammer headed to The Royal Spa for a day of bodily and psychological repose.

There’s a new spa vacation spot in Seef, The Royal Spa, which lately opened on the Royal Saray Resort – a pampering gem amidst the town’s buzz. Positioned in a separate constructing close to Al Massarah Pool Bar, the spa presents a secluded and tranquil area with an array of top-notch therapies. As magnificence specialists, it was our obligation to test it out.

I arrived on the lodge foyer and a golf cart took me to the spa premises. The reception is pristine white with a marbled flooring and reception desk that appears grand with its Carrara type, mixing white with darkish gray veins. The oblique yellow lights complement the atmosphere, creating an environment of luxurious and class.

I used to be welcomed by Kelly, the Director of Spa and Recreation, who supplied me ginger tea and an infused chilly towel to clean up whereas she defined the spa idea. She talked about that The Royal Spa opened in January, and it presents two swimming pools and expertise showers (a singular connection to water) and makes use of Clarins merchandise for all therapies. She additionally stated one thing actually fascinating: there aren’t any clocks wherever. Time is treasured they usually need company to take a seat again and chill out whereas immersed on this haven of peacefulness and rejuvenation. With unique therapies, one in every of them is the mixture of teas and coverings based on what the visitor is in search of. General, Kelly needs to ship individualised care that’s results-driven with a way of well-being.

After filling out a session kind, I used to be launched to Kim, my therapist; she then took me contained in the spa space. I’ve to say that I used to be not anticipating it to be so stunning, however it’s. There may be an indoor pool and Jacuzzi in the course of the area and a skylight permits the daylight to wash the world with mild and heat. Marble columns and Arabic arabesque arches join them for a contact of majestic heritage. Fashionable loungers encompass the pool and the ambiance is cosy but modern – what a magical feeling. There may be additionally a semi-outdoor pool wholly lined with a glass ceiling to let the surface in.

I used to be then proven the altering space with a locker to go away my belongings, the place I slipped right into a fluffy gown and headed to my therapy room. The room had a putting 3D flower on the wall that caught my consideration, and a snug therapeutic massage mattress was within the centre, my refuge for the following two hours. Kim began with the Aroma Re-balancing full-body therapeutic massage. Because the title suggests, this remedy goals to re-balance the physique, its muscular tissues and its power. It entails making use of totally different methods, from rubbing and percussion actions (putting a floor with fast, repetitive motions) to deep smoothing strokes carried out with scented oil. The therapeutic massage started on my proper leg; with a mild but agency contact, she labored on my foot all the best way as much as my leg after which moved to the proper facet of my again. When she received to my arms, she was stunned by the quantity of pressure I carry there. When she shifted to the left facet of my physique, she found that not solely my higher again and shoulders had deep knots, however each my arms had been tremendous stiff. She made positive to provide them further consideration. I’ve to admit that till that day, I didn’t even know my arms had been in such dangerous situation. Nonetheless, she pressed a couple of factors, making me wish to cry somewhat. Yeah, that dangerous. She advisable extra stretching and gave me a couple of different suggestions that I extremely appreciated. Ultimately, it felt like she eliminated all the strain and even my temper modified – I suppose feeling relaxed can be a temper lifter.

We then proceeded to the facial a part of my spa day. The Bespoke Facial is extremely personalised and caters to your pores and skin’s wants. After analysing my complexion, Kim selected the merchandise she would use, with the Clarins CryoFlash Cream-Masks being the protagonist. A ten-minute, icy-cold, gel-cream face masks, cryotherapy-inspired that makes use of chilly to supply visibly firmer, glowing pores and skin with a lifted impact. It additionally minimises the looks of pores, boosts pores and skin radiance and reduces the look of high-quality traces and wrinkles with continued use. I used to be excited to do this modern therapy.

Step one was cleaning with Velvet Cleaning Milk made with Alpine golden gentian and lemon balm extracts, a really mild and energising cleanser. She then used Pure Scrub, an exfoliating gel scrub with lava beads, which she massaged onto my face in rhythmic actions to unclog pores and take away extra sebum. The Cryo-Flash Cream-Masks was subsequent. The cream is alleged to decrease the pores and skin temperature by round 14°C and the cooling impact was apparent together with a minty aroma. For me, it didn’t really feel actually chilly, nevertheless it delivered an excellent contemporary sensation that I’ve by no means felt earlier than in any of the numerous facials I’ve skilled. I completely liked it. Kim left it appearing for round 10 minutes. In the meantime, she carried out a soothing scalp therapeutic massage, making use of stress to key factors. After eradicating the masks, she used a mixture of serums: Hydra Consolation Complement, V Shaping Facial Elevate and Double Serum Eye (enter tailor-made care), and finalised the facial with Multi-Lively day cream. Two issues I like most about Clarins merchandise are that they really feel light-weight on the pores and skin and scent unimaginable. I may really feel my face tighter and once I seemed within the mirror, it appeared renewed with a glowing shine. The refreshed feeling lingered on my complexion for a very long time after – it was actually like an on the spot lifting. It was a improbable expertise that I’m trying ahead to repeating.

In order for you an escape the place time is forgotten and your wellness is taken severely, visiting The Royal Spa will show you how to embrace some memorable me-time.
