This month we tried: On the Rocks Massage at Nikki Beach Resort Spa, Dubai

The lowdown: The much-anticipated Nikki Beach Resort opened it’s doors earlier this year and known for the iconic beach parties that they host, there was much speculation as to whether the spa would also live up to it’s name.

Spanning over 1,650 square meters, the relaxation sanctuary introduces a distinctive ESPA treatment concept, results driven products and a team of spa experts which bring to life the best of wellbeing in a contemporary setting. The modern, yet tranquil, designs offers excellent features both inside and out, with seven beautifully-appointed spa suites for men and women, a couples’ suite and a traditional hammam chamber, plus a luxurious outdoor mixed vitality pool.

PB says: I am advised to try the Hot Stone Massage, a 90-minute massage which incorporates aromatherapy oils with warm volcanic stones to help relieve deep muscle tension. This treatment is designed to specifically allow a deeper penetration of heat into the skin. A consultation with the therapist is the first stage of the massage; this allows me the opportunity to highlight my concerns before the treatment starts, asking the therapist to pay extra attention to my lower back as I’ve had niggling problems for weeks in that area. At this point the therapist explains that the hot stones work by warming up the body’s deep tissues which relaxes the stiff muscles, in my case this is exactly what I needed.

Business benefits: Adding a hot stone option as an extra to your treatment menu allows your employees to up sell if their client has particularly painful areas.
