A new and lavish spa offering traditional Ayurvedic treatments will open soon at Kempinski Hotel Mall of the Emirates. The luxury hotel has signed an agreement with Softouch Ayurveda Centre, selecting the well-known Ayurvedic treatment pioneers to manage its spa operations.


With a comprehensive range of healing and relaxing treatments available in an elegant and tranquil setting, the Ayurvedic Centre at K Wellness Spa promises guests total rejuvenation of both mind and body.

 

“This is yet another way for us to ensure that guests enjoy a truly relaxing and pleasurable stay at our hotel. Our new K Wellness Spa features an authentic Ayurvedic Centre which perfectly complements our world-class leisure, shopping and entertainment offers,” said Michael Henssler, General Manager of
Kempinski Hotel Mall of the Emirates. “Equally important, we are now able to address the needs of a growing number of GCC tourists who had to travel all the way to South and Southeast Asia just to avail themselves of these natural healing and relaxation techniques. Now, they won’t have to go very far to enjoy the unique benefits of Ayurveda.”

Treatments which will be made available at the K Wellness Spa when it opens in September include slimming, anti-ageing and purification therapies as well as a variety of massages using essential therapeutic oils that will not only clear the body of toxic elements, but also soothe the mind and calm the spirit.

With seven spacious and fully equipped treatment rooms, the Ayurvedic Centre encompasses both health and wellness elements to ensure a completely relaxing and reinvigorating experience. “We’ve incorporated natural elements into the design and construction of the centre, such as water streams, water falls, stone floors, pebble tiles and silk walls, all complementing a feeling of tranquillity,” added Henssler.

“We have been working with the Kempinski group in several other properties, and we are delighted once again to be given this opportunity to manage the spa operations of one of its most exciting resort destinations. Our most experienced and highly qualified staff have been selected for this new undertaking. We are looking forward to welcoming the hotel’s guests to healing and enriching wellness experiences at the K Wellness Spa at Kempinski Hotel Mall of the Emirates,” said Dr. V.L. Shyam, B.A.M.S. MD, a certified Ayurvedic consultant at Softouch Ayurveda Centre and one of the most respected practitioners of this ancient healing tradition. The centre will also draw on some 15 years of experience gained by Softouch, who are recognised as the leaders in the field with their seven Softouch centres in Kerala.
