As Dubai Shopping Festival gets underway, SENSASIA’s latest concept spa reveals the perfect pitstop for eager shoppers to boost their vitality and get glowing between bargains.
‘Stories Lab’ is a boutique and dedicated express spa lounge, nestled inside the newly-opened integrated mall entrance of SENSASIA Stories, Kempinski Hotel Mall of the Emirates. Created to cater for the fast-paced mall traffic just steps away from its prime location on the first floor of Mall of the Emirates, close to Ski Dubai, Stories Lab is a sidestep from the haven of transformative Asian-inspired tranquility offered by the full SENSASIA Stories spa experience, and instead focuses on fast, effective results.
With its own masterfully-curated menu of targeted treatments – from 15 to 30 minutes in duration and starting from just AED 95 – Stories Lab features condensed versions of SENSASIA’s most powerful and popular treatments, combining the latest in technology with the 16-year-old award-winning spa group’s unrivalled and expertly-delivered techniques.
In keeping with the ethos of immersive escapism and tale-telling that SENSASIA Stories is all about, Stories Lab also gives visitors the option to travel to a completely contrasting destination as they undertake their treatment. As they zip in for their choice of mind and body blitz, time-shy clients can also slip on a virtual reality headset, and be transported to the world’s most beautiful destinations – from the idyllic beaches of the Seychelles to the sweeping mountains of New Zealand – with or without a guided meditation.
