69 woman this month | July 2012 | The Sense of Luxury KEMPINSKI GRAND & IXIR HOTEl BAHRAIN CITY CENTRE If it’s relaxation therapy you need, then it’s luxurious relaxation therapy you’re going to get! The Kempinski’s PURE Spa is a lesson in indulgence and rejuvenation excellence. Although it is still fairly new, it is fast gaining a reputation for being one of the most stylish and one of the most professional spas in the Kingdom. The spa features ten elegant treatment zones, with designated male and female areas. It also has a private couple’s spa suite, for those of you that fancy sharing a joint massage with a loved one. Their therapists are handpicked and dedicated to delivering premium results. They also have a sauna, steam room and Jacuzzi, for those of you that want a little privacy. Happily, I was treated to one of their most luxurious treatments in a bid to be able to convey a real sense of it to the readers of Woman This Month. The PURE Spa is a haven, set in the bustling shopping hub of the Bahrain City Centre mall in the Seef district. The creamy, cool interior makes a welcome break from the busy, frenetic feeling inside the shopper’s paradise below. I was excited to go and experience my “cocoon wrap” treatment, as this was something I had never tried before. It consisted of a natural-ingredient based body scrub, which smelled absolutely delicious and then the application of some deep cleansing and purifying oils and creams, which were left on while I was wrapped up in the “cocoon” — an electrically heated body covering, which warms the skin, allowing pores to open and the minerals and vitamins to soak in. To finish the treatment, I was asked to rinse off in the treatment room’s private walk in shower and then lie once again on the massage table as a light moisturising cream was applied all over. I found the treatment to be unique and relaxing and all the staff at the PURE spa to be both charming and helpful. If a body wrap doesn’t sound like your cup of tea, why not book in for one of their bespoke massages, which use products from the Elemental Herbology and Green Bar range, or perhaps you might enjoy getting your hair done by one of the expert Elie and Jean stylists? Whatever your spa desire, I’m more than certain that the Kempinski’s PURE Spa can cater for your needs. Head down to the Kempinski Grand and Ixir Hotel Bahrain City Centre in the Seef district or call the reception for more information or to book in for a treatment. Call 17 171-122.
