The Spa at Paus
The Spa thoughtfully extends Paus’ philosophy that wellness is a personal journey, one that is transformative and meets you where you are. Sleek yet refined interiors are met with holistic rituals and treatments that invite rest, relaxation and intentional care.
Must-try treatments include The Urban Renewal Ritual under the Vichy Bed Treatments, a multi-sensory treatment that combines chromotherapy and warm cascading water with message techniques that cleanse, exfoliate and hydrate. The Vichy Bed at Paus is one of the few to exist regionally to introduce recovery and relaxation. Additionally, the Quartz Poultice Massage has heated quartz compressed along key meridians to release stored tension while harmonising energy for a deeply grounding experience and is also one of a few to be found in the UAE.
