Located at the Kempinski Hotel Mall of the Emirates, SENSASIA Stories is a flagship destination spa scheduled for an October 2020 launch.

The 4,000 sq-ft SENSASIA Stories spa — conceptualised by THE SPA PEOPLE and created by Roar Interior Design Studio — comprises six male and female treatment rooms and one couples’ suite offering privacy. It also boasts separate male and female changing rooms, and therapeutic relaxation areas.

The well-appointed spa is equipped with facilities, including heated beds, experience showers, an ice fountain, herb saunas, steam rooms, and a Jacuzzi. Customers can also enhance their visit with virtual reality headsets, which offer complete, customised escapism and guided meditations.

As well as offering a variety of signature, award-winning massages, facials and body treatments, and sensorial journeys, SENSASIA Stories also allows guests to personalise their spa experience with the option to book time as opposed to treatments. Once clients have defined their requirements, the expert team of therapists will then script a tailored, transformative journey, just for them.

SENSASIA Stories also features an express spa with a dedicated entrance on the first floor of the mall. ‘STORIES LAB’ offers shoppers with a limited amount of time to spare the chance to pop into a private spa pod and experience a condensed SENSASIA Stories treatment from a tailored, on-the-go menu.

Customers can try out the Stress Survival scalp and neck massage, High Heeler foot therapy, Shoulder Shift, or Eye Lift treatments. Additional treatments include facial therapies from Spanish brand Natura Bissé, which focusses on relaxing facial contractions, restoring firmness, and defining contour in the fragile jaw, neck, and décolleté areas.
