Located on the beachfront, the five star Nikki Beach Resort & spa in Dubai has opened its doors, with the 1,650sq m (17,760sq ft) Nikki Spa opening in April 2017.

Offering "the best of wellbeing" in a contemporary setting for guests and visitors, facilities will include seven well-appointed separate spa suites for men and women featuring Gharieni MO1 premium treatment beds, one couples suite, a hammam chamber, sauna, steam, ice fountain, mixed vitality pool and indoor and outdoor relaxation lounges.

Also on site is a 15m (49 ft) lap pool and bubble pool, both of which are exclusively for hotel guests and offer views of the Arabian Gulf.

The resort's design is inspired by nature and features Nikki Beach's signature white theme. Natural fabrics and materials have been incorporated for a simple, organic effect.

“We are thrilled to introduce Nikki Spa as an extension of the Nikki Beach brand and reveal a real destination spa,” said general manager Alexander Schneider.

“The venue will feature areas of different energy, from the vibrant hair and beauty experiences to the tranquil treatment rooms and hammam chamber where guests can unwind and refresh their mind. In partnership with the creators of the world’s finest spa concepts, ESPA, we plan to offer our valued guests an unparalleled spa experience.”

Catering to both men and women, the extensive spa offerings include a distinctive ESPA treatment concept, performed by a selection of wellness experts and therapists who will be available for consultation for all guests of the spa.

Situated on Pearl Jumeira island, Nikki Beach Resort & Spa Dubai has 132 rooms, suites and private villas and is the 13th permanent Nikki Beach.

The property, which was developed in partnership with Dubai-based developer Meraas, was designed in collaboration with DSA Architects International, with interiors by Beirut-based Gatserelia Design.
