Happiness comes cheap this summer

Taking a me-break comes cheaper than ever this summer with some 40 city spas offering discounts of up to 50 per cent for those looking for a respite from this recession’s woes.

As part of this year’s Dubai Summer Surprises event, spa enthusiasts can expect to enjoy amazing discounts, two-for-one offers and pampering complimentary extras on a number of treatments and therapies including body scrubs, rasul mud baths, reflexology sessions, ayurveda treatments, Moroccan baths, Swedish and Thai massages, beautifying and detoxifying treatments, and numerous other specialised therapies catering to men and women.

A distinctive feature this year is the special emphasis on men’s spas, with several of the city’s finest offering anti-fatigue massages and salon grooming packages specially created for men. A greater emphasis on catering to different visitor segments and widening accessibility directed the decision to pick spas spread out all across the city, thus making it easier for residents and tourists to take advantage of the fabulous offers at spas located near their homes or hotels. 

DSS runs from June 17 to August 7 for 52 days, with shopping promotions in over 6000 retail outlets and entertainment events across shopping malls in Dubai.
