Renowned for providing an immersive getaway on a private island and disconnection from the hustle and bustle of city life, Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain Bay is further elevating its island-resort offerings with the launch of Ayurvedic treatments. The luxury destination is Bahrain’s first five-star hotel to offer therapies rooted in India’s ancient well-being system, bringing 5,000 years of holistic wisdom to a whole new audience.
Considered to be the world’s oldest healing system, Ayurveda is known as the knowledge of life – a profound lifestyle approach that strives to keep body, mind, spirit and social well-being in balance for optimum health. Enhancing Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain Bay’s spa menu, traditional healing therapies, three new Ayurvedic treatments are performed by specially trained therapists.
Shirodhara is a classical Ayurvedic treatment starting with a relaxing shoulder massage followed by a steady pour of warm, herbal oil over the forehead − helps ease insomnia, calm the mind, soothe the senses, and bring total equilibrium. Abhyanga is a revitalising full-body massage with warm herb-infused oils using gentle strokes designed to soothe stress, ease muscle aches, support sleep and boost immunity. Regularly soaking the body in the signature oil, results in a series of benefits such as healthy appetite, alertness, feeling less fatigued, peaceful sleep and reduced stress. Indian Head Massage – available as an add-on to Abhyanga or Shirodhara – releases tension and revitalises the entire body via the blissful application of warm oils to the ‘Marma’ (vital energy) points of the shoulders, neck, scalp and face.
For the ultimate Ayurvedic experience, the Ayurveda Day Immersion offers an insightful journey into the heart of Ayurvedic healing, including 60-minute yoga class; 60-minute Abhyanga treatment; 30-minute Shirodhara treatment and 30-minute Indian Head Massage.
With authentic practices as important in Ayurveda as the balancing of the body’s elements with those of nature, the hotel has gone to great lengths to honour the system’s traditions: Teak-wood panchakarma massage beds, handcrafted in India, take Shirodhara to a cabana by the Azure pool, surrounded by the calming influence of swaying palms.
“In Ayurvedic treatments many facets come together to impact our health in profound ways,” comments Director of Spa, Nikolay Dimitrov. “Through the introduction of these three classic treatments, we hope to encourage a deeper exploration of this fascinating well-being approach, which ultimately teaches us how to balance the different energies in our body in relation to the world around us.”
Winner of multiple accolades and awards, including Bahrain’s Best Hotel Spa, the 17-room Spa at Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain Bay is a spacious and serene sanctuary spanning four buildings interlinked with pathways and gardens. Guests booking any Ayurvedic treatment or package can also enjoy a complimentary day pass to enjoy its expansive facilities, including a Himalayan salt inhalation room, Infinity Pool, adults-only Azure pool, steam baths and more.
