Dubai, United Arab Emirates – Jala Spa & Wellness, a new wellness destination nestled within the majestic peaks of Jabal Akhdar, has officially opened its doors at Hotel Indigo Jabal Akhdar Resort & Spa. Under the expert guidance of Spa & Wellness Director, Indah Megayani, and a team of internationally acclaimed therapists, this sanctuary blends innovation, design, natural elements, and ancient traditions to create an unmatched wellness experience for guests to reconnect with themselves.

Located on the highest mountain top in the GCC at 2,000 meters above sea level, Jala’s design and philosophy are deeply rooted in the four universal elements: Water (Jala), representing revitalising amenities that harness the power of water for cleansing and rejuvenation; Air, symbolising the pure mountain air that invigorates the spirit; Earth, a connection to Mother Nature through the use of fresh, local ingredients, and Fire, harnessing the therapeutic potential of heat for relaxation and relief.

Jala’s core pillars include Natural Wellness, utilising native ingredients and century-old remedies to provide authentic and effective treatments. Ethical Products are ensured through partnerships with brands like Ila, Mauli Rituals, and Maison d'Asa, guaranteeing cruelty-free and eco-conscious offerings. The spa serves as a Nurturing Oasis, providing a welcoming refuge for relaxation and recharge. Finally, Jala's treatments and experiences are designed to uplift and inspire, promoting a sense of inner peace and overall wellbeing, truly allowing guests to 'Elevate their Being.'

Sustainable innovation is applied through a water purification system operating across all pools that combines saline water and a high-tech ultraviolet light filtration system to minimise the use of harsh chemicals.

Indah Megayani, Spa & Wellness Director, said: “Jala is truly a sanctuary where every detail has been meticulously crafted to create an atmosphere of serenity and rejuvenation. The design, a collaboration with leading spa experts The Wellness Group and Raison d'etre Spas, not only meets the highest standards of wellbeing but also pays homage to Omani heritage with features like our arched corridors inspired by the Grand Mosque. We invite our guests to step away from the everyday, immerse themselves in this tranquil oasis, and emerge renewed in both body and spirit."

Jala invites guests on a journey through three distinct wellness zones, each designed to evoke a sense of serenity and rejuvenation. Bespoke treatment rooms provide the setting for signature experiences like the 'Chakra Wellbeing' ritual, a 120-minute Ila journey that harmonises mind, body, and soul. The 'Ananda Face Therapy’ harnesses the power of pomegranate to nourish, hydrate, and revitalise tired skin. Couples can find shared bliss in luxurious suites, while the traditional Hammam and Vichy Shower Rooms offer purifying rituals steeped in history.

For those seeking deeper relaxation, Himalayan salt rooms provide respiratory and skin benefits, while the thermal zones offer a circuit of invigorating heat and cooling plunges. The Wellness Studio invites quiet contemplation with sound healing and meditation sessions. Complete the journey with a revitalising dip in the indoor vitality pool or an immersive experience in the Aquamoon shower, where water, light, and fragrance blend to create a symphony of the senses.

The spa's serene atmosphere invites guests to fully immerse themselves in relaxation and rejuvenation. The thermal and wet zones were meticulously designed by The Wellness Group, renowned spa design experts, ensuring the highest standards of wellbeing are met. The spa's layout and planning were developed in partnership with Raison d'etre Spas, who have designed many leading spas around the world.

Jala Spa & Wellness is now open to both hotel guests and day visitors. To learn more or to book a treatment, please email stay.indigojabalakhdar@ihg.com
