Who would have thought that in the backyards of Dubai, somewhere in the deserted Al-Avira, such a wonderful place in all respects as the Desert Palm Retreat boutique hotel could be hiding. And we say this not for advertising, but for the sake of justice. Not only is it quiet and very calm, delicious steaks are prepared here, films are shown on the big screen by the pool, and they play polo from the heart, fortunately to the stables - a stone's throw. But since Desert Palm Retreat is not widely known in wide circles, and there are many people here (and people of high quality), we concluded for ourselves that this hotel, along with the adjacent polo fields, is a reserved place.
As for the local Lime Spa-salon, it is beautiful both inside and in the quality of the services provided. The treatment rooms here are decorated in the best Asian traditions and decorated with expensive materials: real floors, parquet, stone and natural fabrics. The rest and relaxation area, although small, but very worthy. As an addition to the traditional services of Spa-salons, there is a room with icy placers where it is cold, but invigorates no worse than dousing on a winter day! We also liked the loungers of their heated natural stone, from which you can long and joyfully watch through the panoramic windows, as polo players are riding around the field very close by.
One of the main quality indicators of the Spa-salon is a dressing room and toiletries. In the wardrobe of Lime, the best robes of Dubai were discovered. Seriously! Such nice robes usually hang in the home boudoirs of lovers of luxurious life - soft, heavy, with embroidery and unusually cozy. Boxes for diverse toiletries are covered in genuine leather. And shampoos and conditioners are far from cheap, British. Disappointed only a hairdryer - too simple and weak. In all other respects, sheer delight!
The salon operates on cosmetics of the French brand Anne Semonin, which in Dubai is presented only in another luxury spa-salon. Considered a haute couture brand in cosmetology, Anne Semonin combines the vitality of plants, medicinal herbs, and seaweed.
Anne Semonin's signature treatment is the Bespoke (Custom Made) Facial. Lime Spa in collaboration with experts Anne Semonin has created its own version suitable for the local climate - Lime Facial Glacier.
Preparation of facial skin for the procedure begins with milk containing botanical extracts, with a tonic on their basis passes the second stage. After cleansing, a professional cosmetologist performs an analysis of the skin condition in order to select products for its individual needs here and now. Before applying expensive cosmetics, a special cleansing mask is applied to the face, which absorbs unnecessary dead cells from the surface of the skin. The face is steamed and, if necessary, it is cleaned manually. When the face is ready for the maximum absorption of precious ingredients, an intensive nutritional complex is applied to it, and the cosmetologist does manual drainage and massage, which increases skin elasticity.
Active serum is applied to the area around the eyes and lips, behind which a mask with minerals is applied to the skin around the eyes, and an extra-nourishing mask is applied to the area near the lips. Both masks effectively rejuvenate the skin, and nourish its deepest layers.
Then the face is covered with a mask with botanical extracts, after which serum is applied. At the end of the procedure, the beautician treats the skin around the eyes with simply wonderful Anne Semonin beauty cubes, and massages the most stressed areas of the body - the neck and shoulders.
The effect is just wonderful - both the skin condition and mood improves. Feel like a baby!
