Desert-themed spa opens in Oman

Dunes by Al Nahda has opened in Oman, with 50 tented bedrooms in the sand dunes of Wadi Al Abiyad along with a wellness spa featuring desert-themed treatments.
In keeping with the natural elements, the spa includes two large sand tub treatments with “rest-in” areas and showers, two massage rooms and two bathrooms with showers.

The spa’s signature treatment is a Hot Sand treatment, which has its roots in ancient Egypt and combines the beneficial effect of the sand’s heat with the natural minerals found in it.

The resort also offers an Arabian Nights treatment that uses Frankincense, sandalwood and rose oils.

The tented resort also includes a fitness centre and mini-gym and features desert activities such as sand surfing, camel riding and kite flying as well as an onsite golf course and open-air restaurant.
