Anantara The Palm Dubai Resort has unveiled a newly expanded hammam this month at its award-winning Anantara Spa, creating an elegant sanctuary for guests seeking a New Year detox or a winter sun escape.
Located on Dubai’s iconic Palm Jumeirah, the spa expansion brings an Asian-inspired atmosphere and significantly increases treatment capacity with six additional treatment rooms alongside new male, female and couples’ hammam facilities.
The two-level spa is thoughtfully arranged to offer a comprehensive wellness experience. On the ground floor, six single treatment rooms with private showers are complemented by two beauty rooms, a Thai massage suite, a holistic cocoon room and an Ayurveda suite. Three couples’ suites each feature a Serali steam bath, experience showers and an infinity solo pool bath to enhance shared relaxation.
The first floor expands the single treatment room offering to eight and introduces two new couples’ massage rooms equipped with an integrated sauna, showers and a whirlpool featuring Microsilk technology for a rejuvenating hydrotherapy experience.
The newly introduced Turkish-style hammam provides separate male and female facilities, dedicated relaxation areas and changing rooms, plus a couples’ hammam, reception and a boutique stocked with spa products for guests to continue their wellness routine at home.
“We are the first spa in the region to introduce Microsilk technology, the bathing experience beauty experts are calling ‘the Fountain of Youth,’” said Jean-Francois Laurent, general manager, Anantara The Palm Dubai Resort. “Guests can upgrade their hammam treatment to include an oxygen-rich micro-bubble bath. This patented process supersaturates water with billions of microscopic bubbles, increasing oxygen levels up to 70 percent above common tap water, supporting skin cell renewal and boosting metabolism.”
The expanded menu of treatments spans wellness traditions from Asia to the Middle East, including classic hammam rituals, body and Ayurvedic therapies, and results-oriented facials. Guests enjoying Turkish hammam services also receive the signature Anantara foot ritual to complete their experience.
Anantara Spa uses its own branded product range along with a fully natural spa line that highlights carefully chosen ingredients—floral notes, fruit blends, botanical extracts, essential oils, spices and nuts—sourced from across Asia to deliver sensorial and effective treatments.
For select therapies, the spa employs a trio of respected European skincare houses: Spanish cosmetics brand Natura Bissé, the British luxury spa and anti-aging specialist Elemis, and France’s Charme d’Orient, which draws on authentic raw materials to create ritual-driven treatment products. These partnerships enable tailored, high-performance treatments across the spa menu.
