A love of travel definitely comes with infinite benefits, but suffice to say it can often be exhausting, too. So having a spa to retreat after a long day of exploring, sightseeing and cultural awakening is a blessing. To ensure all its guests leave feeling revived and recharged, Conrad Abu Dhabi Etihad Towers invites you to put your feet up at Conrad Spa, where it will pamper your mind, body and soul – and soles! – and get you ready for your next adventure.
The hotel itself sits at the end of the capital’s corniche, a modern edifice of 66 floors and incredible city and sea views, with Conrad Spa spreading out over 1,465 square metres. It’s a true sanctuary, providing respite from the urban revelry of the city below, where guests can cast off the shackles of stress and succumb to sumptuous treatments that will leave you glowing from the inside out. The spa is an ode to contemporary luxury, which plays out against a serene ambience, opulent interiors and fully-equipped treatment rooms, allowing for a full immersion on your wellbeing journey.
The spa menu runs the spectrum of body scrubs and wraps to massages, facials and private spa rituals. There’s also a Rasul Mud Chamber, a traditional Middle Eastern therapy that uses mud, herb-scented steam, and an oil-infused warm shower to cleanse and detoxify; and a Hammam treatment suite, where you can enjoy a Signature AMRA Hammam, with a full-body exfoliation using black soap, scalp massage, and hair-washing ritual, ending with an aromatic body balm and traditional stretching to give you glowing skin.
To make the most of the spa and a stay at this beautiful city sanctuary, you can go book the ‘Spa & Stay’ offer, which puts your time at the hotel to best use. You’ll check into a Deluxe Room, which comes with ultra-chic interiors and glorious views over the city or ocean, soaked up from floor-to-ceiling windows in both the bedroom and bathroom. You can then begin your wellbeing journey with a 60-minute treatment for two at Conrad Spa – perhaps a Stress-Relief Swedish massage, an Oxygen Facial or a Diamond & Platinum Ultra-Life Journey – before soaking up the ambience in the relaxation room post-treatment. You can also enjoy a beautiful breakfast at Rosewater restaurant, starting your day as you mean to go on, with French toast, fruit salad or eggs any way you want, eaten inside or outside while enjoying a peaceful morning on the terrace.
Before you explore the rest of the city, get acquainted with the rest of the hotel, as it has a fitness centre, three outdoor pools, 2,200sqm of pristine private beach, an Observation Deck at 300 where a stunning afternoon is served to 360-degree city and sea views, the award-winning Japanese restaurant, Tori No Su, lively and eclectic Spanish food at José by Pizarro, and the best cuts in the city at Ray’s Bar, situated on the 63rd floor of the hotel. When the capital comes calling, there’s plenty to explore – from Qasr Al Watan and the Louvre, to Emirates Heritage Village and Yas Island – but remember, whenever your feet get tired, you can always point them back towards the Conrad Spa – it will be waiting for you.
