There are few places more serene and truly luxurious than a hotel spa – combining the best of a five-star experience with all the pleasures of a wellness escape. The UAE has no shortage of hotel spas, but one is standing above the rest this season – with one of the country’s most iconic and much-loved hotels unveiling its new revamped spa: The St. Regis Abu Dhabi.

Known as Abu Dhabi’s true city oasis, The St. Regis Abu Dhabi has unveiled the highly anticipated revamp of The Spa at The St. Regis Abu Dhabi – a modern sanctuary inspired by the timeless elegance and legacy of the brand’s storied founders, the Astor family. Guests are invited to immerse themselves in a wellness experience that blends modernity with the unparalleled glamour of the Gilded Age. Featuring the soothing scent bar, exclusive partnerships with Sothys Paris, Augustinus Bader and Hydrafacial and a new spa menu inspired by the legendary Caroline Astor and her lavish life as the matriarch of New York’s Gilded Age society. 

Signature Experiences, Reimagined

Guests, both staying at the hotel or visiting, are invited to enter the sublime new world, starting with luxury and elegant new Dressing Rooms. Designed with a residential aesthetic, they offer personal vanities and comfortable seating, setting the tone for the spa experience to come.

The Scent Bar

Once through the changing area, the next step on the journey is the Scent Bar – an exclusive feature offering a curated selection of three luxurious fragrances. Personalising their treatment, guests can choose from Lemon & Petitgrain, Orange Blossom & Cedarwood, and Cinnamon & Ginger, allowing them to enjoy an experience imbued with individuality.

Caroline’s Collection

The mother of St. Regis founder John Jacob Astor and leader of New York’s Gilded Age society, Caroline Astor led a life of beauty and extravagance, and The Spa at The St. Regis Abu Dhabi channels her opulent legacy. Caroline’s Collection graces The Spa menu with a selection of treatments, blending heritage with the timeless allure of the property. Hero treatments include the Illuminate & Lift, Flawless Garden Rose, The 400, and Radiant Renewal Ritual.

World-class partnerships

Of course, The St. Regis Abu Dhabi is also about modernity, and its new spa collections represent the peak of wellness technology. Enhancing the bespoke nature of each treatment, the primary partner is Sothys Paris, the original beauty institute and spa brand created in 1946 as the pinnacle of French Beauty.

A partnership with German skincare pioneer Augustinus Bader also awaits guests – the first hotel to feature the brand in Abu Dhabi. A range of exclusive facial treatments and retail products are on hand to elevate the skincare journey to new heights. Further enhancing facial wellbeing and leaving guests with an unrivalled glow, The Spa is also now an official partner of Hydrafacial – a globally recognised leader in advanced skincare treatments.

Retail and personalised touches

The revitalised spa experience extends far beyond treatments, inviting guests to explore a curated retail space showcasing skincare, wellness souvenirs, and unique curiosities. The elevated retail area offers both Augustinus Bader and Sothys Paris products to savour at home.

At the conclusion, guests will receive a personalised tray featuring their name card and bespoke homecare recommendations, extending the natural beauty and harmony of The Spa at The St. Regis Abu Dhabi into everyday life.
