Talise Spa

My wife and I had two couples massage sessions during back-to-back weekend stays at the Burj Al Arab. Talise is located on the 18th floor of the Burj Al Arab. The facility has a mixed pool, a women's pool, a squash court, and a fitness center. Each changing room also has sauna, spa, and a pool chilled to 15 degrees. The mixed pool gets a lot of visitors, many who are there to take pictures, so it may be crowded during peak hours of tourist season. However, I was the only person in the mixed pool when I visited in the morning. Further, the women's pool is a lot less congested and offers an alternative for the ladies. The fitness facility has an assortment of free weights and machines. The fitness facility also offers multiple classes that vary throughout the week. Our massage was fantastic. I informed my therapist, Egsin about my chronic shoulder and knee issues and he did a wonderful job not only on my trouble areas but the rest on my body. I left each massage session feeling rejuvenated and free from muscle/joint pain. The service offered by Talise's staff is second to none of the other spas I have visited. Udaya, who works at the men's changing room, made sure I was provided with enough water to stay hydrated after my sauna, and my swim shorts were dried off before I left the facility. Dopender, a Nepalese staff from the fitness facility whose name I probably misspelled or got wrong altogether, showed my wife and I around the fitness facility, kept me company while I waited for my wife, offered to workout with us (sorry we overslept, I will find you next time though), and offered then poured me tea while I was in the waiting area. When I came back on the second weekend, many staff members, including Udaya and Dopender remembered me, and the conversations we had during the previous week, which is indicative of the amount of attention paid to me despite the sheer number of customers Talise receives each day. Everyone went out of their way to provide us a wonderful experience. We will be back next time we visit Dubai.

We recently stopped at teh Burj and the weather in June was very hot. It was lovely to visit the spa on the 18th floor and the view from the pool was superb. I loved the feel and quality of furnishings and teh spa staff were very good at what they do

I first had afternoon tea and then had a massage booking. I somehow booked at another Talise Spa at the Jabeel Saray and the receptionist kindly called them to explain the mix up. Thank you to Rain from Jabeel Saray for being so understanding! My 1 hour massage was relaxing and just what I needed. I used the thermal facilities and pool there after. The pool has beautiful views and I was the only person there. Had a lovely relaxing afternoon. My only complaint it’s pricey.
