Today, Dubai is easily considered the fastest growing city in the world.

A place known around the world for its decadence, Dubai offers a seemingly unlimited number of quality spas. Here are just a few that are well-worth checking out:

The Spa at The Palace in Burj Dubai offers Oriental treatments in a unique Arabic décor. Guests receive a complementary ten minute foot bath and a relaxing cup of the signature lemon herbal tea prior to any treatment, making the transition from “real world” to “dream world” flawless and smooth.

The Spa offers treatments from the Far East, Asia, and the Middle East, and you can opt from a music menu that will take you to the origin of the treatment itself.

The Spa offers an Oriental Bath House, monsoon showers, steam room and hydrobath in addition to traditional spa services.

With tranquil views of the Burj Dubai lake in the background, it would be difficult to leave this world class spa not feeling renewed and refreshed.
