Waldorf Astoria
Shut the doors on the outside world and settle into your own private VIP spa for 90 minutes of bliss with the Valentine package at the newly-opened Waldorf Astoria in Ras Al Khaimah. We took a dip in the Jacuzzi and then took an equally refreshing sip of bubbles, plus a nibble on a chocolate-dipped strawberry. After a pleasant 15-minute skin-shrivelling soak, our two therapists gently knocked on the door and began our treatment of body brushing to boost circulation, followed by a massage, finished off with a moisturising session. Once the treatment was over, we were once again left alone to pad around in our robes, eat some sorbet left by our therapists and put our feet up. Lovely.
