Six Senses has opened a 33,000sq ft (3,066sq m) spa at Al Bustan Palace, a Ritz-Carlton Hotel, in Muscat, Oman.
Reflective of traditional Omani design, the spa complements the hotel and features domed ceilings, arched walkways, columns and falaj, or water channels. The spa is housed on three levels, much like an ancient Arabian fort, with heavy wooden doors flanking the entrance.
“Six Senses Spa at Al Bustan Palace will take the spa experience in the Middle East to a whole new level,” said Bernhard Bohnenberger, president of Six Senses.
“From glorious architecture to results-driven wellness programmes, Six Senses is thrilled to be managing this exciting project, which has been in the planning stage for several years.”
Six Senses appointed Bangkok firms Februar as project architect and P49 for interior design. Carol Taylor Fahjt has been named spa director.
The 17-treatment-room spa includes a large reception area with ladies’ majlis (intimate seating areas), two consultation rooms, and a large spa gallery with a variety of skincare and wellness lifestyle products. Wet facilities include infrared saunas, steamrooms, ice showers and hammams.
A private ladies-only club includes a gym, activity studio, relaxation area, hammam, sauna and steamroom, as well as ice shower. The facility also features a ladies-only indoor pool and a private beach, while the spa will offer a range of ladies-only spa membership packages.
Facial and body treatment products are from The Organic Pharmacy and Margy’s Monte Carlo, and Gharieni supplied the spa tables and furniture.
The spa also offers body composition analysis, fitness consultations, and private or group sessions of yoga, meditation, stretching and fitness. Additionally, a series of yogic programmes including Discover Yoga, Yogic Detox and Yogic Sleep will be introduced.
The activity studios will feature the yogic programmes, along with expert visiting practitioners – including ayurvedic doctors, osteopaths, facialists, aura readers and other alternative medicine practitioners.
Al Bustan Palace is a beachfront retreat that is tucked away between the rugged Al Hajar Mountain range and the Sea of Oman, and includes 250 guest rooms and suites.
A five-minute walk from Al Bustan Palace, the spa is built into the surrounding landscape of towering stone and rock cliffs of the Hajar Mountains, and follows the natural progression of the wadi, or valley.
