If you haven’t been to the Amara Spa at Park Hyatt Dubai on the Dubai Creek, then where have you been? A favourite of the Emirates, the spa is a serene space in which to find yourself again. If you’re looking to try something a little different, then the fascinating Psammo Therapy, or Golden Quartz Therapy, is a must.

Originating in ancient Egypt where warm sand was used to treat a multitude of ailments, The Gharieni Group designed a quartz sand bed for luxury spas like Amara. Guests are immersed in warm quartz that moulds to the shape of the body, while the therapist shifts the flow of energy through a series of inversions–the bed tilts–massage, and even Tibetan singing bowls to bring balance and harmony back to your body once again. Absolute bliss.
