Each package includes a welcome Cherry Blossom cocktail on arrival alongside miniature chocolate boxes for gents, while on departure each lady will be presented with a rose.

Have your fill of fine fare with Friday brunch

The tasty, expertly prepared fare for under-12s is specially tailored to smaller tummies. Best of all, the brunch, which features performances by local group VA Band, will end with a bumper prize bonanza, with luxurious spa treatments and dining vouchers among the prizes up for grabs.

Soul Wellness and Spa

Enjoy an intimate Valentine’s treat
Guests can indulge in a bespoke couples’ massage and share a relaxing and memorable experience in which they will connect and bond with their loved one in a unique and meaningful way. Performed in a private room specially for couples, this hour-long full-body aromatherapy massage is distinguished by long strokes and the use of natural essential oils. Lying on massage beds placed side by side, guests will drift off into a state of deep relaxation to a soothing soundtrack of transcendental meditative music.

After gently rousing both, expert therapists will leave the couple together for an hour of lounging in the suite’s Jacuzzi, which will be adorned with rose petals. Bubbly and chocolates will complete the experience, leaving both feeling pampered, rejuvenated and connected. Valid throughout February, this offer is priced at Dh1,200 ($326.6).

Soul Wellness & Spa is a new holistic concept that balances body, mind and soul. Its innovative bespoke therapies utilise natural ingredients alongside some of the finest skincare brands found anywhere.
