Cairo has some stunning luxurious spas that are a much-needed oasis of calm in the bustling city. Try some decadent oriental treatments and fragrant local oils to unwind from the Cairo craziness at these restful sanctuaries. Or take a plunge in a swimming pool with Nile views followed by a dip in a warm sauna. And I love a good spa day to melt my worries away and catch a breather from city life. And this is my ultimate list of my absolute favorites. These are the facilities that have never disappointed, rated on service, atmosphere, location and experience.
Resense Spa is an old-world atmospheric feast for the senses with its European paintings, heavy drapes and fragrant treatments. From the pre-Raphaelite portraits in the treatment rooms to the mosaic-studded jacuzzi room, Resense Spa is indulgent, opulent and regal. And it fits in perfectly with the palace theme of the Royal Maxim Palace Kempinski. Treatments include hammam and steam room experiences, Arabian-inspired massages and scrubs along with staples like Swedish and Thai massages.
The spa includes eight treatment rooms, and separate saunas, steam rooms and an indoor pool for your use before or after your treatment. What I love: the lavish and bold decor, the fragrant oils and the outstanding service. Heavenly Spa is light and airy with treatment rooms looking out into small gardens and relaxation spaces full of palms and sunshine. Treatments include body scrubs, facials and all the traditional massages with lots of options for couples and weddings too.
Treatment rooms are filled with natural light and the sounds of small garden fountains. Heavenly Spa has beautiful relaxation spaces to unwind after your treatment with cozy lounge chairs and refreshing snacks alongside windows with flowing drapes.
What I love : the elegant yet minimal decor, the balance of outdoor and indoor space and the enormous pool. Semiramis Spa is a recently-opened oasis in the heart of downtown with sleek marble interiors and an outdoor pool with Nile views. This award-winning spa is small but mighty with cozy jacuzzis, an indoor pool and quiet treatment rooms that offer a full menu of treatments.
