On the 29th floor of The Lana hotel, hovering above Dubai’s bustling city center, something has come to pass that once seemed like nothing more than a bold fantasy: the austere Parisian elegance of the House of Dior has joined forces with the futuristic luxury of the Emirates. The result is Dior’s first spa in the Middle East—a space where cutting-edge cosmetology meets the aesthetics of haute couture, and Dorchester Collection’s impeccable service sets the benchmark. But what lies beneath the glossy façade and the prestigious name? In this guide, we’ll take a meticulous look at every detail: from exclusive rituals to pricing and unwritten rules, so you can determine whether this experience will become your personal revelation.
Philosophy and atmosphere: Parisian apartments in the clouds
Forget Dubai’s typical ostentatious luxury. The aesthetic of Dior Spa is Parisian restraint taken to its absolute extreme. The space is awash in light, which bounces off polished light marble and dances across subtle golden accents. There’s nothing superfluous here—every detail, from the shape of the chair to the texture of the fabric, evokes the legacy of the fashion house. This isn’t a spa in the conventional sense; rather, it’s more like Mademoiselle Dior’s private apartments somewhere on Avenue Montaigne, accidentally transplanted to the 29th floor of a Dubai skyscraper. And the ultimate accomplice in creating this atmosphere? Dubai itself. The spa occupies the entire 29th floor, and the panoramic windows here are not merely a design element—they are an integral part of every ritual. Imagine: you’re lying on a massage table, with the entire panorama of Business Bay stretching out before your eyes, all the way to the pinnacle of the Burj Khalifa. The urban hustle and bustle below seem utterly surreal, and the sunset you witness from here transforms the treatment into an almost meditative experience.

Fact: The spa’s interior was created in close collaboration with the Parisian house of Dior, ensuring that every detail, from the wall pattern to the shape of the bottles, perfectly reflects its refined aesthetic.
A starry menu: Haute couture rituals and the power of technology
The Dior Spa treatment menu is an artful fusion of time-honored manual techniques, perfected to near perfection, and cutting-edge technological equipment. Each program is designed not only to deliver visible results but also to provide profound sensory pleasure.
How do you find “your” treatment in the Dior menu?
Focus on three questions. What does your soul (and body) crave today? If you’re yearning for complete disconnection from reality—head to the signature massage section. If your reflection in the mirror craves radiance and lifting—facial treatments await you. And if your goal is a sculpted silhouette, your path leads to the advanced technological procedures. Do you prefer the magic of hands or the power of science? The menu delicately balances between rituals rooted in the art of touch and procedures featuring cutting-edge technology. How much time do you have for yourself? You can opt for a quick beauty "shot" before heading out in the evening, or a full-fledged, multi-hour ritual for a complete rejuvenation.
Couture facial treatments
Flagship facial treatments like L'Or de Vie or Dior Prestige Haute Précision deliver a highly precise assault on signs of fatigue and aging. At their core are precious ingredients and the most potent formulas from Dior’s laboratories, designed to provide intensive rejuvenation, restore radiance, and deliver a pronounced lifting effect. For maximum results, we bring in the heavy artillery: the Dior Skin Analyser performs ultra-precise skin diagnostics, while Dior Micro-Abrasion ensures gentle yet deep skin renewal.
Tip: Don’t attempt to choose a treatment on your own. Trust the expert: a consultation using the Dior Skin Analyser is not merely a formality, but an opportunity to select a program that perfectly addresses your skin’s needs today.
Innovative technologies for the body
In this section of the menu, technology reigns supreme. For example, Icoone therapy is an intelligent massage that feels like thousands of tiny touches happening all at once. It doesn’t just combat puffiness and cellulite—it literally sculpts your body, restoring clarity and firmness to your contours. The Hydafaacial body treatment is a deep clean and hydration session that leaves the skin perfectly smooth and radiant. What makes these treatments at Dior Spa truly unique is that they’re performed according to exclusive protocols specially developed for the brand, enhancing their effectiveness tenfold.

Signature body massages and rituals
The signature "Constellation" and "New Look" rituals are truly original choreographies for the body, where the therapist’s movements are synchronized to a unified rhythm. "Constellation" is a slow, enveloping dance of the hands that immerses you in a state of weightlessness and serenity, perfect for relieving stress. "New Look," by contrast, is a more dynamic, invigorating ritual featuring elements of stretching and acupressure, which seems to "reboot" the body and recharge it with energy.
Infrastructure and amenities: Your day in the style of Dior
In addition to the treatment rooms, guests at Dior Spa have access to meticulously designed infrastructure that transforms each visit into a complete ritual of relaxation.
- Thermal area: Before your treatment, it’s worth "resetting" yourself in the sauna or steam room (hammam). Their elegant and understated design serves as the perfect prelude to the main event.
- Relaxation zone: After your ritual, you’ll be guided to a lounge area for rest. Here, with a cup of herbal tea and a panoramic view of Dubai unfolding at your feet, you can extend that sense of serenity.
- Boutique: The spa features a boutique offering exclusive Dior skincare lines, rare perfume compositions, and cosmetic products you won’t find in a typical brand corner.
How to get the most out of your visit?: Access to the thermal and relaxation areas is already included in the price of any treatment lasting 60 minutes or longer. Our tip: arrive 45–60 minutes before your scheduled appointment. This will allow you to leisurely enjoy all the amenities and fully prepare for a complete rejuvenation.

Betting on Dior: Will it suit you?
Say "Yes!" if you:
- Adore Dior's aesthetic and believe in science, not just the power of nature.
- Are looking for more than just a treatment—seeking an experience you'll want (and won't hesitate) to share on social media.
- Desire a touch of Parisian chic without leaving Dubai.
Think twice if you:
- Dream of a traditional hammam with billowing steam and oriental aromas.
- You scrutinize ingredient lists on product labels and swear only by “organic” and “eco-friendly” options.
- You’re searching for a sanctuary to escape the world, rather than a hotspot at the very center of its latest trends.
Takeaways and verdict:
So, is Parisian chic in Dubai’s cloud-covered skies really worth the price tag? The answer depends entirely on what you’re looking for. If you simply want a great massage, Dubai has hundreds of options to choose from. But if you’re after something more— a perfectly orchestrated experience that seamlessly blends high fashion and cosmetology, where every single detail, from the panoramic view outside the window to the texture of the cream itself, contributes to creating a unified sensory impression—then Dior Spa at The Lana offers a truly unique experience. It’s less about wellness in its traditional sense, and more about the opportunity to immerse yourself for a few hours in a world of absolute aesthetic perfection. And perhaps that’s precisely the kind of luxury for which they’re asking you to pay here.
