Silk Spa

Silk Spa inside the Habtoor Palace is a full-footprint hotel spa built on a grand scale: six private treatment rooms, two dedicated hammams, a steam room, sauna, jacuzzi and a relaxation lounge that sets the tone for unhurried, long-form visits. The aesthetic is opulent rather than minimalist, with heated stone rest platforms and plush communal areas that reward couples and half-day bookings. The repertoire spans Swedish, deep tissue and hot stone massage, Moroccan and Turkish hammams, and hydrating facials adjusted to skin type. Couples suites come with private jacuzzi access, and the longer combinations pairing a hammam with a massage are the strongest bookings. Therapists hold their own against the sports-massage standard, dialling up the pressure for targeted back and shoulder tension while keeping the overall session genuinely relaxing. Staff deliver small personalising touches, birthday treats, dates and tea at finish, that lift the visit beyond routine. Rooftop pool access, robes and slippers form part of the day, which makes it suited to a full afternoon rather than a quick drop-in. For residents and Downtown-adjacent visitors looking for a five-star-hotel-grade spa, it sits firmly at the upper end of the city's offering.
