Danat Jebel Dhanna has quite a spacious recreation center, fully equipped with a large gym, an indoor kid’s play area, and my favorite– a spa! My husband and I were booked in for massages, but since he was quite exhausted from his day of kayaking, he gave up his massage and let me have it. Now don’t get jealous, as a mom of a 1-year-old I almost never get to indulge myself in massages, so this is really a once in a blue moon thing.

He really did miss out though, because the experience was so serene and I enjoyed every minute of it! The first 30 minutes of my treatment consisted of a back, shoulder and neck massage. There were many tight spots on my upper back that my masseuse effectively loosened up. The head massage was divine, and the oil that was used makes you feel so calm and relaxed.

Now for the second half hour of the massage, the masseuse did a full leg massage, and then a bit of foot reflexology. The pressure was perfect and although I’ve gotten foot reflexology done before, this experience was much nicer than the times I’ve had it done before. I really think thats due to the right amount of pressure put on specific areas.

Oh, and there’s even an option for outdoor massages!

They have many different massage options, from Swedish, Traditional Thai, Shiatsu, Deep Tissue, Balinese, Indian, Ayurvedic, Lymphatic Drainage, and Reflexology. Most 1 hour massages are 300 Dhs, and 90 minute massages are 420 Dhs.

The next time we come here I will definitely be scheduling another massage appointment!
