Beauty and wellness Mascate

Le Chedi is an exceptional establishment, and its spa is no less so. Facing the sea, on the edge of the longest swimming pool in the Middle East (103 metres), 800 m² of space divided into 13 suites and several saunas and hammams elegantly combine Asian and Oriental-inspired decoration. Among the wide range of treatments, holistic and Ayurvedic therapies are designed to restore harmony and vitality. After the treatment, you can relax in a splendid relaxation lounge overlooking the Arabian Sea... Time stands still.

Like an ancient Arabian fort in the middle of an Omani garden, secluded in its own cove well away from the hotel, the luxury spa of the city's most exclusive resort sits majestically. Reflecting the local traditional style, it beautifully complements the hotel and offers a similarly refined interior architecture - domed ceiling, elegant corridors and walkways, arched columns... Well integrated into its own mini-bay, the huge spa is spread over 3 levels that materialize 3 distinct zones: a space dedicated to women, another to men, and a private pool for ladies with a 500-meter long dedicated beach.

It is the only Spa by The Ritz Carlton in the country and its specificity is to offer treatments adapted to individual needs. Yoga and fitness classes are also offered on request to enhance the well-being of guests. The products used are 100% organic, mostly locally sourced, and based on natural ingredients and oils, except for the facials which are partly done with products from the luxury brand ESPA. No less than 17 treatment rooms make up this beautiful complex also equipped with several saunas, infrared saunas, ice fountains (for ladies only), hammam rooms (no less than 6 for traditional treatments with black soap, deep scrubs, aloe vera masks...). Also relaxation areas (separated: men on one side, women on the other) where you can sip natural fruit juice or ginger tea. A great place.

With its vast, bare landscapes, mountains and deserts, and its peaceful inhabitants, Oman is an ideal country for re-centering and recharging your batteries, and Philippe from Wellness Arabia understands this. A yoga and mindfulness meditation enthusiast himself, he began developing products in the 2000s. Today, on request, he offers individual or group courses in sound therapy, breathing, meditation or yoga. Philippe speaks English or French, and if he's not available, a highly professional English-speaking team works with him.

Founded in 2015, Luban, which means incense in Arabic, has already made a name for itself among the leading international brands making incense-based products. Convinced of the health benefits of incense and as an Omani cosmetics company, Luban uses only the plant from the Boswella Sacra Tree - the local incense tree - in its products. In the boutiques or on the online sales site, you can buy edible oil, incense burning resin, beauty products for face, body or hair - all 100% natural.

As intimate and exclusive as the palace that serves as its setting, this confidential spa offers a small menu of targeted treatments whose names refer to emblematic places in the sultanate. Its specialty is incense-based treatments(luban in Arabic), such as Wahiba Golden Sands, which combines oriental massage techniques with the therapeutic qualities of incense essential oil. Rocks of Al Jissah blends incense with organic herbs and products, which are wrapped in Omani fabric to form a "massage pouch". A real treat!

In natural beige tones, this cocooning spa, located on the second floor of the hotel, offers 5 individual treatment rooms and a large room for couples with private shower, hammam, sauna, whirlpool bath... The à la carte menu includes body massages such as the traditional deep-tissue massage or the hot stone massage, scrubs (we like the rose scrub), treatments for cellulite or muscle recovery, and more. Special mention should be made of facial treatments, including the signature hydrafacial for deep cleansing and moisturizing.

Set a little apart from the resort, Chi The Spa is a haven of peace. Comprising twelve private treatment villas surrounded by superb gardens, it offers a variety of treatments, targeted to specific needs: relaxing massages for psychological well-being, Himalayan salt stone massages for sleep recovery and reduced inflammation, collagen treatments for a rejuvenated, rested face, a 2h30 incense ritual for absolute relaxation... Plus: the hydro-vitality aquatic circuit (jet pools, hammam, sensory showers...).

This world-famous brand of oriental perfumes is distributed in the country's major cities and has several stores in Muscat, notably in several malls. The main and most prestigious boutique is located directly at the Amouage Factory (route 15 towards Nizwa), which is well worth a visit, even if it's just for sightseeing. Amouage is also distributed at the airport and in some prestigious hotel boutiques, such as the one at Al Bustan Palace. It's the perfect opportunity for an exceptional gift, 100% Omani!

The setting is that of a chic, spacious and comfortable 5* hotel spa. It is above all the team that makes the difference: entirely Thai and rich in this ancestral know-how that makes the Asian masseuses outstanding therapists. Either the assurance of a moment of total relaxation thanks to a qualitative care protocol, applied to the letter for the range of massages as well as for facials and other treatments à la carte (aromatherapy baths, pedicure, manicure...). For complete relaxation, a choice of packages from 90 to 180 minutes.
