Spa At The Burj Gild Inwards Dubai

IMPORTANT:
This is NOT a sponsored post. I paid for my see to The Burj Club.
I also asked together with got permission to receive got photos together with write virtually my experience.

When I was planning my opor-garai together with it turned out that my flights qualified for Dubai Connect, I jumped for joy together with started to brand a listing of all the things I wanted to produce during my 22 hours inwards the United Arab Emirates.

Unfortunately, because my flying left Haneda belatedly (yep, it was a typhoon night), nosotros also landed late, together with my carefully planned twenty-four hours went out the window.

What I kept inwards my itinerary were the ii things I had already paid for: a spa see together with a trip to the top of Burj Khalifa. Conveniently for me, the spa also happened to live located at Burj Khalifa. And because Dubai is yet technically inwards Asia (go together with check, if you lot don't believe me), I am dutifully blogging virtually it hither now.

If you lot don't know what Burj Khalifa is, I advise you lot halt living nether a stone inwards a galaxy far far away together with produce exactly about googling. Stat.

I booked both of these "attractions" using Get Your Guide (no, I am non going to link to it) together with I can't NOT recommend it enough. They are a rip off. Use them only if you lot receive got coin to give notice together with demand the convenience of booking everything all at once.

As you lot tin see, my one-hour handling at The Burj Club Spa cost me US$124.86.
Dealing amongst Get Your Guide was a nightmare. First, I had to repeatedly electronic mail them quest for my voucher. They ignored my mails. I lastly started complaining on Twitter, together with that got their attention.
At the same time, I had plenty mutual feel to contact the spa directly, together with I am glad I did, because Get Your Guide didn't. No nifty surprise here.

When all was lastly sorted out together with booked together with confirmed together with reconfirmed, it turned out that I could receive got booked my handling straight together with saved myself a lot of frustration inwards the process. Oh, well... Next time...
Because, trust me, at that spot volition live a adjacent time...

The Burj Club is Dubai's most exclusive total service spa together with wellness club, together with I receive got been dreaming of going at that spot for quite a while. Once upon a time, I read a weblog post written past times a adult woman who genuinely lives at Burj Khalifa (yep, rich people receive got apartments there) together with who went to The Burj Club Spa, together with that's how the house ended upwards on my "things to produce inwards Dubai" list.

I was asked to larn inwards virtually xxx minutes before than my scheduled handling time. I was instructed to become to the "residence entrance" together with cash inwards one's chips along from there. Sounds slowly enough, right?

But... I got hence excited riding the tube (driverless, together with yes, I was sitting inwards the real showtime railroad vehicle together with taking photos) that I totally forgot what fourth dimension it was. When I lastly remembered, I decided to run for a taxi, because I had no thought where the Burj Khalifa "residence entrance" was.
It turned out that my fresh off the boat taxi driver had no thought either. I wishing I was joking, but he genuinely didn't know. He dropped me off at the dorsum of the tower together with I hiked along the service route inwards 45 marker oestrus (that's 113F for you, Americans).

It reminded me of exactly about other story from the weblog of the Burj Khalifa woman, when she was expecting a bundle delivery together with the bundle was returned to sender, because "there was no such address" according to the courier company. 

The safety guard on duty was pretty surprised when he saw a adult woman emerging from behind the safety entrance, but was real form together with agreement when I explained what happened.
He pointed me inwards the correct direction together with past times hence I was already miserably late. That's why at that spot are no pictures from the exterior of The Burj Club. Sorry.

Here's the reception surface area instead.

And a persuasion from the chill-out lounge inside:

You see, I receive got been to quite a few esthe salons inwards Japan. Some were good, exactly about were OK, together with exactly about were totally meh. And when I realized that I could experience a basis shape beauty handling at i of the most iconic locations on the planet for the same toll every bit at my local Japanese shopping mall, you lot didn't receive got to inquire me twice.

At The Burj Club I wanted to experience similar a special princess, if only for an hour. So when I lastly entered together with sat downwardly together with was greeted past times the manager, whatever doubts I had virtually this spa idea, they were gone. I was a princess!

When booking, at that spot was a alternative of ii treatments: a facial, or a massage.
I am real picky virtually my facials (especially since this spa has its ain skincare line), together with for this argue I decided to become amongst a massage. And permit me say you, it was an splendid choice.

I met my lovely therapist who showed me to the changing area.

She explained how everything worked together with permit me be.
The province bumpkin that I was, I forthwith forgot my locker combination together with nosotros had to telephone telephone a safety guy to opened upwards it for me. But that was later.
At that 2d I was busy playing amongst the amazing showers together with inwards the procedure managed to unintentionally launder my pilus using the Caribbean Area tempest setting (complete amongst audio effects).

In the locker at that spot was a bathrobe, slippers together with a brace of disposable panties. There were plenty of fresh towels literally everywhere.

I wanted to see the steam room, but every bit I was already belatedly together with behaving similar a kid inwards a candy store, I decided to play overnice together with went to the spa's chill-out area.

I plopped myself on a lounge chair, was served a quaff together with a snack together with unopen my eyes.

I was admiring the view...

And I am pretty certain I savage asleep.

My lovely therapist gently woke me up, asked me to create total out a consultation bill of fare together with went to laid upwards the room for me.

Once inwards the room, I was asked to take away an essential oil. I chose the i that smelled the best to me, which exactly happened to live named "Asian" something something.

When she went to move on my tired, stiff, sore body, I but savage asleep again. But before that, she asked me a few of import questions.

• Any torso parts to avoid? 
• Any torso parts to concentrate on? 
• What form of pressure level to use?
• Would I similar a caput massage every bit well?

(Would I like? What form of a empty-headed enquiry is that? Lady, I alive for caput massages!)

And then, before I knew it, my i hr massage was upwards together with it was fourth dimension to larn upwards together with supply to reality.
I enjoyed myself hence much that I wanted to volume a facial correct at that spot together with hence for that evening, despite beingness hence picky virtually facials. Sadly, I remembered I had other plans for the residual of the day...

I chop-chop checked out the steam room, took exactly about other shower (while a safety staffer was breaking into my locker, because I am an idiot), together with admired the views. Judging past times the occupied lockers, I wasn't the only invitee there, but it definitely felt similar it. I had total privacy together with it seemed I had the whole house to myself.

When I was dressed together with ready, I got a tour of the Burj Club facilities. There are 5 floors inwards all, i is dedicated solely to women. There are ii gyms, i is coed, together with the other solely for women.

There are ii swimming pools, i indoor (25 meters), together with i on the roof amongst a persuasion of Burj Khalifa. This is the "boring" indoor one:

And permit me say you, when it's 45 degrees Celsius outside, the "boring" indoor puddle looked that much to a greater extent than appealing.

Here's exactly about information virtually the awesome rooftop area:

And that's how it looked inwards existent life:

And similar this:

I didn't receive got photos inwards the direction of Burj Khalifa, because that destination of the puddle was beingness used past times a grouping of Russian musculus men together with their surgically enhanced women. Better non to piss them off, if you lot know what I mean.

The staff invited me to role the pool, sit down at the rooftop Juice Bar together with exactly taste myself. Unfortunately, I had exactly about other twenty-four hours of the month at 4PM together with needed to larn going. As I was virtually to live belatedly again, I asked the manager, Nicola (I promise I didn't mangle her name) to assist me larn to the visitors' desk at Burj Khalifa. She kindly obliged leading me through staff-only passages together with corridors saving me a looong walk together with helping me live correct on fourth dimension for my adjacent attraction. Thank you lot hence much!



Final thoughts?

The Burj Club was a world-class spa experience for a surprisingly affordable price. Overall, I flora Dubai to live a lot less expensive than I expected. Maybe it's exactly because I alive inwards Nippon together with I am used to Japanese prices. But if that's the case, it agency that for those of us who alive inwards Japan, Dubai tin live done inwards mode without breaking the bank.

I desire to become again.
I volition become again.
Actually, I realized I honey Dubai. I desire to become at that spot for a week. Or two. Or for the residual of my life.

Next on my bucket listing of Dubai spas?
Armani/SPA at the Armani Hotel together with Talise Spa at Burj Al Arab Jumeirah.

Time to start planning that dream Dubai vacation...
