Nestled among the gardens of Fujairah’s own Intercontinental hotel is the door to a little bit of Paradise, once inside you could be forgiven that in spite of current travel restrictions you have found yourselves strolling through the lavender fi elds of Provence. The O Spa (pronounced LOX-EE-TAN for the un-initiated) is the perfect accompaniment to a relaxed holiday and could even be a great start to a relaxing weekend.
L’Occitane pride themselves on only using the best ingredients in the world from the gardens of the South of France, so whichever treatment you chose from the wide range of options, you know you will be experiencing the very best from nature’s bounty.
Indeed the spa here at the Intercontinental Fujairah is the only L’Occitane spa in the country, just another reason to feel special. The spa’s design feels as if you have entered your own warren of comfort and each turn reveals another luxurious space to relax in and allow yourself to feel more you, and right now we could all do with some of that. Alongside traditional offerings of facials, body scrubs and massages, the O Spa also allows you to indulge in a healing session of Ayurveda treatment that will rejuvenate and melt any stresses away.
The rooms are beautiful and the shared spaces quietly invite you in, to hand yourself over to the amazing therapists who work their magic, and then invite you to refl ect a while in the Hammam… pure luxury! Plus knowing that L’Occitane’s company principles place respecting bio-diversity, supporting producers, reducing waste and supporting women means that while treating yourself you’ll be giving back. Ok, no more reasons just book your treatment and treat yourself.
