DUBAI, UAE, May 15, 2008. Amara, Park Hyatt Dubai is delighted to announce its recent accolade of ”Best Destination Spa in Dubai” by the biggest selling woman’s magazine in the UAE, VIVA. The VIVA Beauty Awards celebrate the best beauty products and destination spas, as voted for by a high-profile panel of leading fashion and beauty experts. This most recent award sits alongside previous international and local awards from Conde Nast Traveler, Ok! Middle East, Grazia and Time Out Dubai.
A magnificent tribute to ancient Moorish palaces, the white exterior and royal blue domes of Amara offer a welcoming entrance into this private and secluded spa, where the “Jewels of Arabia” exotic rituals have been created to stimulate the senses, soothe and rejuvenate. A unique sense of place is offered at Amara: the hushed spa walkways calm, the scent of mixed spices allure, the lush gardens and courtyards captivate, and the swimming pool with evening oil lanterns reminiscent of 1001 Arabian Nights delight.
“Amara is an elegant, tranquil and exquisite spa,” says Jason Sloan, Director of Spa of Park Hyatt Dubai. “We are absolutely delighted that this has been acknowledged by VIVA, which is renowned for its commitment to excellence and integrity. To be selected from the other spas in Dubai is an astounding achievement.”
He continues, “It is not one particular thing that led to this accolade. Rather it is a variety of elements ranging from the spa concept and environment to exceptionally trained Spa Concierge and therapists who use only the best products from our spa product houses (Shiffa, Anne Semonin, Carita and Aromatherapy Associates) and all of whom understand our customers’ needs in order to deliver personalized service to the spa connoisseur.”
