La’Mar Spa by Marjan Island Resort

La’Mar Spa by Marjan Island Resort & Spa is on the northernmost tip of Breeze Island, one of the islands that forms Al Marjan Island. La’Mar translates from ancient Arabic to mean liquid gold. The expansive spa is a haven for total relaxation and pampering. The spa flickers with hanging lanterns that cast pretty shadows of Islamic moons and stars, as gold leaf and burnt umber tones adorn the gilded walls. The facilities within the spa offer a holistic approach to health and wellness. One of the highlights is the traditional Turkish Hammam. The menu features holistic wellness rituals and signature treatments, including the hot stone massage, royal honey Moroccan hammam, Phytomer age-defying and acnipur facials and the treasured couple’s ritual.

The 60-minute Royal Honey Moroccan Hammam ritual begins with your body being wrapped in an organic mixture of silica and rose exfoliant to improve skin texture, followed by a relaxing and intensely moisturising application of a heavenly body mask enriched with natural honey, shea butter and verbena. The blissful hot stone massage uses precise stress-relief techniques, such as hot volcanic stones, to release deep-rooted tension, loosen tight muscles and improve muscle mobility.

The Phytomer products are eco-friendly, sustainable, predominately vegan, and straight from the sea. The wild organic ingredients are carefully sourced and harness the powerful natural active molecules in their effective skincare products. For instant results, try one of their youth-promoting facial treatments, such as parfait gold, a biotechnological treatment that firms and smooths the skin for renewed radiance, or Acnipur, a deep cleansing facial that fights hard against troublesome blemishes. Before any treatment, your in-house therapist will conduct a consultation and recommend the right combination of treatments for you.
