Luxury Kempinski spa opens on the horn of Africa
BY Rebecca Barnes
Located in Djibouti on the horn of Africa at the crossroads between the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean, the 740sq m (7,965sq ft) Kempinski The Spa at Djibouti Palace Kempinski, is now open.
Managed by spa brand Resense, facilities include six treatment rooms (including one double suite), a fitness centre, two infinity pools, gym, tennis court, relaxation room, and steam and sauna facilities in male and female changing areas.
The spa's design is inspired by Arabic and African contemporary decor, with a key feature being the traditional marble hammam.
Inspired by the European cycle of the seasons and drawing on the elemental wisdom of nature, treatments are customised according to the guest’s desired outcome. These include detoxifying herbal treatments and scents which de-stress, rejuvenate and refresh.
Signature treatments include the Red Sea Luxurious Trio, which combines a pink crystal and argan shell body scrub, a classic massage and caviar facial; and Royal Hammam, which starts with a purifying scrub from head to toe, followed by a geranium-scented rassoul clay wrap and a white honey and royal jelly face mask.
Also on the menu are express treatments suitable for men and women, hammam treatments, couple’s treatments, manicures and pedicures, and waxing. Four seasonal massages, body treatments and facials include Spring (Detoxing); Summer (Balancing); Autumn (Relaxing) and Winter (Energising).
Wellness, Marrakesh Revival, Radiant Beauty and Perfect Day treatment packages are available, and there is also a vitamin bar on site, which serves fresh juices. Spa product partners are Kerstin Florian and Charme D’Orient.
