Last weekend I was invited for another fabulous wellness staycation in Abudhabi at one of the most intriguing and iconic hotels. Yas Hotel (which used to be Yas Viceroy hotel and now owned by Marriott group) doesn’t need an introduction, as it is an architectural triumph with its futuristic design and definitely one of the most iconic hotels in the UAE through its symbiosis with the Formula 1 track. Yas Hotel is located in center of Abu Dhabi’s famous Yas Island, a man-made island in the Arabian Gulf that is home to famous formula one Marina circuit, sparkling beaches and theme parks such as Ferrari World, Yas Waterworld and newly opened Warner bros Abudhabi.
The 5 star yas hotel in Abudhabi is home to capital’s one of the largest spa “ESPA”. Recently, ESPA launched wellness membership packages which will take your sense of well being to another level. With newly launched wellness packages you can enjoy free access to all the leisure facilities of the hotel including the Spa, Gym , 2 roof top swimming pools, Jacuzzi, sauna, relaxation area and lounges plus you can get 25 % off on food and beverages in all the restaurant and bars in the hotel.
Before I talk in detail about Yas hotel ESPA membership packages I would like to show you quick review of one of the best luxurious spa in Abudhabi and my personal spa experience at ESPA.
The Spa: The luxurious ESPA spa at the Yas Hotel offers 8 private treatments room with a presidential suite over 2 floors overlooking the beautiful Yas Marina and the Formula One Yas Marina circuit. They have private male and female areas on separate floors with different relaxation lounges. The men’s and women’s relaxation areas are massive and each have their own beautiful view. 
The Male lounge area is overlooking the Formula one race track and also feature private room with 2 revolutionary “sleep pods” – taking the typical spa relaxation room to a new level, these are very stylish and semi-private individual areas decked out with comfy cushions and blankets, where you can take a nap after a treatment for deep relaxation.
The Female relaxing area is very classy and elegant designed with Italian marble overlooking beautiful Yas Marina. They don’t have sleeping pods in the women’s area however they have small relaxing cabin pod design with beautiful light ceiling which changes color.
The Treatment: The spa offers wide range of body and skin treatment to help you de-stress, detox, achieve balance or boost vitality. All the ESPA products are made from the purest natural ingredients to create unique treatments that not only deliver beautiful skin but also help in renewing your inner calm. All body treatment and massages at ESPA are specially designed to meet all your special requirements that includes holistic total body rituals, hot stone massages, salt & oil scrubs, back, face & scalp treatments, pre and post natal treatments.
I had a bespoke 6o minutes deep tissue massage which was incorporated with some deep stretching to release the tension on my back muscles. I was really impressed with their highly trained masseuse, and she literally managed to remove all my muscle nodes. I was feeling thoroughly zenned out during my treatment with some ohhhs and ahhhs sounds in between. Their signature packages are amazing and are stellar when it comes to wellness and rejuvenation.They also offer 90-minute Mindful Massage and Mindful Facial which focus on breathing and visualisation techniques to promote healing. ( I am definitely going back for mindful massage next time )

Each and every small detail was exemplary and beyond expectations.

The food: Hotel features unique dining venues. Whilst I was there, I had dinner at Indian restaurant Angar, breakfast and Friday brunch at ORIGINS_ an all day dining restaurant. Breakfast buffet at Origins was lavish with wide variety of options for all palates but my favorite was their Friday Brunch. The Brunch offers extensive range of taste from around the world with different sections of live cooking station and drink station offering a plethora of options. For the dessert they have separate room located in the library offering endless choices with homemade ice cream. ( I would highly recommend to try their Friday brunch which comes with free pool access)

My Staycation at Yas Hotel was filled with a lot of fun activities, healthy food and relaxation. Yas Hotel Abudhabi is wonderful space both to indulge in luxury and tend to your well-being. The facilities are first class, the staff are warm and professional, and my treatment at ESPA was really impressive. If you are someone who loves indulging into luxurious treatments at affordable prices I highly recommend to try Yas Hotel’s new ESPA membership packages, and if you’re still not sure about packages you can book a single spa session to try their world class services.
