A luxury treatment often comes a luxury price tag, however some are more affordable than others.
So if you’re looking to splurge and treat yourself, or you just want to know exactly what money can buy in Dubai, then check out our guide below.
Placenta Diamond Facial – Biolite Aesthetic Clinic
Why should I try it: The treatment is quite literally giving your skin new life.
Said to be a skin-tightening solution, the facial is designed to trigger fresh collagen giving you youthful skin. You should note, the placenta is from a lab and not a person, and is administered after a facial cleanse and exfoliation.
Then comes the live diamond mask, leaving your skin hydrated and lifted.

Hydracool Caviar Essence Facial by La Vallee – Anantara Spa
Why should I try it: It includes the essence of the finest caviar.
You know it’s luxurious when there’s caviar in it. The regenerating 90-minute facial uses caviar essence combined with an infusion method to get your skin looking full of life. For the full experience, make sure to choose the option with the hydracool machine, with the ultrasound application lifting the skin for extra impact.

24-Karat Gold Facial
Why should I try it: You can have your face painted with real gold.
This is about as luxurious as it gets. You might have heard of a charcoal or clay face mask, but have you tried one made of gold? Lightening and brightening your face, the gold is mixed with a special agent to help it dissolve into your pores and work its magic.
Sit back and relax as one of the most precious metals in the world reduces your wrinkles – doesn’t sound too bad does it.

Stone therapy face & body – Dior Spa The Lana
Why should I try it: You’ll get to visit the newly opened Dior Spa.
This treatment is giving designer. But of course you’d expect nothing less of a procedure made by Dior. Spread over 120 minutes, you will be given a massage covering the face, back, stomach and feet, elevated by precious stones chosen for their properties.
Your face will then be given a micro-abrasion by a sapphire crystal before an LED therapy mask to finish the session.

The Infusion Youth Sublime – Talise Spa
Why should I try it: It’s the only place in the world you can get this treatment.
Located at the Talise Spa inside the Burj Al Arab, it should be no surprise that this procedure was created exclusively for the hotel. Rejuvenating your face, the method plumps the skin with collagen, while also a radiofrequency to massage the skin. Contouring and reducing inflammation, the 90-minute procedure is pure bliss.

Laser Carbon Peel
Why should I try it: It was inspired by NASA.
Let your skin get out of this world with the treatment inspired by none other than the space association. The LED therapy was used to speed up the growth of plants, and now speeds up the results on your glowing skin. The procedure involves a layer of liquid carbon being sprayed on, which the laser will then go on top of. To finish, a moisturiser is applied.

Something for gents
Golden Cloud Couple’s Hammam – Awaken
Why should I try it: you’ll be covered in 24-karat gold from head to toe.
It doesn’t get much more luxurious than this. Head down to the Atlantis the Royal, where you can get the treatment individually or as a couple. Much like the hotel, the spa only boasts the best of the best – and this is definitely it.
Start with a foam soap massage, then enjoy a crushed gold body polish, a gold rhassoul body mask, golden hair essence and finally a body oil for a golden glow.

CRYO Facial
Why should I try it: Experience the extreme cold.
An ideal treatment for gents, the facial only lasts 20 minutes, and is all focussed on cooled air rather than floral face masks.
Cooling down to a chilly -162 degrees, the cryogenically cooled air activates collagen deep in your skin, reducing fine lines and plumping your face. If you like the facial, you can even get the procedure on your entire body, but maybe start small.

Iyashi Dome – Four Seasons
Why should I try it: you’ll burn calories by laying down.
The hands and touch-free treatment is an infrared device that was created in Japan. Increasing your body temperature, the sessions are said to improve your sleep, slimming and skin by making you sweat.
Lasting 60 minutes, the treatment will detox your body, repair your muscles and even help you burn some calories in the meantime.
