Sanctuary at the palace

The Sanctuary Spa group is expanding in the Middle East by delivering a new spa at the Al Bustan Palace, Oman. The ornately-decorated facility will offer a wet spa area, including a frigidarium, a tepidarium, a laconium, a sauna, a steamroom and a Turkish Rasul chamber. There will also be a tropical shower, a relaxation area and a therapy area with eight treatment rooms. The spa will be open to day visitors as well as members and hotel guests, and will offer a selection of half-day and day programmes. Work on the facility will commence in the spring, and is due for completion by the end of the year.
