Designed to deliver an absolute state of well-being, The Spa at Souq Al Wakrah Hotel is an invitation to leave day-to-day stress behind in an environment of authentic serenity. Although the hotel is already a haven of tranquillity, guests may wish to take relaxation to a higher level and indulge further at the hotel spa.
Set along the coastline of the Arabian Gulf, this spa sanctuary is located at the luxury heritage hotel in the up-and-coming seaside district of Al Wakrah, which was historically known to be a fishing and pearl diving neighbourhood. The Spa has separate entrances and dedicated areas for men and women, each with calming interiors and open courtyards to take soothing breaths before and after treatments. Highly personalised massage experiences, all tailored to meet the individual needs of every client, are provided throughout laid-back, exclusive spaces.
The Spa has received several recognitions for its facilities and service excellence. In the recently concluded Ohlala Spa & Wellness Awards Qatar, it bagged two prestigious awards: “Best Signature Treatment” for the Vichy Shower Massage and “Favourite Spa Products” for the French brand Biologique Recherche that The Spa uses for its treatments.
With the distinctive Vichy Shower Massage, let water and light therapy stimulate and indulge all the senses. Release your worries as mind, body and spirit become one in this innovative treatment. Lie down on a water bed with multiple shower heads attached to a horizontal bar above your body. After setting the optimal temperature, the blissful journey begins with the application of mask and scrub, which heavenly soaks into your skin under the Vichy shower. A gentle silicone scrub follows, revealing a fresher and more luminous skin. To end these delightful procedures, water is cascaded over the entire body through the focused Vichy shower heads.
The Signature Massage is a procedure combining the best strokes of aromatherapy and reflexology aimed at melting layers of tension and pain. It includes stretches to realign fibres of overused muscles, using lemongrass and lavender oils, leaving a refreshing and energising feeling.
After a day of exploring the Souq and other local areas, ease your aching muscles with the Volcanic Hot Stone Massage. With the use of volcanic hot stones, this regimen incorporates a radiating facial with a blend of nutrient-rich essential oils, giving the skin a naturally brighter appearance. It also relaxes tight muscles and improves blood circulation, further promoting good health.
The Spa offers a selection of scrubs and facials as well, perfect for stand-alone treatments or in preparation for a massage. The Salt and Oil Scrub is a body exfoliation which combines sea salts with essential oils, for a smoother and more supple skin. Meanwhile, the Hydrating Facial combats dehydration, dryness and overall skin impurities. The use of cold apparatus locks in rejuvenating moisture that ensures a visible glow.
Apart from the three deluxe treatment rooms and a Vichy shower water bed, guests can enjoy the hydro pool, steam room, Jacuzzi, and fitness centre at The Spa.
