MaNaMa, BaHraiN
The Spa at Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain Bay exudes a pure
tranquility and serene atmosphere with its spacious design
encompassing four interconnected buildings woven together
with pathways and gardens, reflecting Moroccan and Turkish
influences throughout. All spa treatments are inspired by tradi-
tional healing therapies from Asia, India and the Middle East
using only ethically-sourced ingredients.
A signature massage at Four Seasons Bahrain Bay is the
Invigorating Oud Massage, a deep-tissue massage using slow
strokes and firm pressure to ease stress. This treatment uses
luxurious Oud oil, rich with rose and frankincense to melt
guests’ ten sions away. The treatment also incorporates a thermal
mask on the spine to release tension and promote relaxation.
Finally, the massage is complemented by an exclusive facial
massage using ancient Australian mineral stones.
“Oud is an extremely rare, expensive natural oil derived from
a resin that can only be found in the heart of ancient trees,”
Director of Spa Chandarella Luzon says. “This oil has a myriad
of qualities and is effectively used in medicines, ceremonies,
perfumes and now, beauty products.”
Luzon says guests love this spa treatment because they
experience a sense of place where the richness, luxury and
healing benefits of Oud oil helps them relax physically and
mentally.
“It is a locally-inspired treatment as the oil is native to the
Middle East,” Luzon continued. “The use of this product
grounds our guests in the present and connects them to this
locale.” n
the local materials used during treatments at
Banyan tree invoke a sense of grounding.
