If there was ever a day to unapologetically press pause, take a deep breath, and soak up some well-deserved luxury, Emirati Women’s Day is it. And Banyan Tree Dubai has clearly read our minds. From 23rd to 31st August 2025, they’re rolling out an experience so serene, you might just forget what stress feels like.
Here’s the deal: AED 450 per person, groups of up to six (a.k.a. the perfect excuse to gather your besties, sisters, or that friend who’s been “too busy” since 2022). It’s equal parts pampering and indulgence — because let’s face it, we deserve both.
Step 1: Rainforest, but make it spa
We’re not talking about a quick facial and a half-hearted cucumber water here. This is Banyan Tree Spa’s 60-minute Rainforest Experience — a hydrothermal journey so lush, you might start expecting exotic birds to join in.
Picture this: a shower walk, steam room, sauna, vitality pool, jacuzzi, and heated loungers — all within your own private spa suite. You’ll have ensuite changing rooms stocked with Banyan Tree Essentials (read: everything you need to leave looking like you live at a wellness retreat). Privacy? Check. Comfort? Absolutely. By the time you’re done, you’ll be so zen you might need someone to gently remind you what day it is.
Step 2: Afternoon Tea, Tocha-style
Once you’ve floated out of the spa, Tocha — Banyan Tree Dubai’s oh-so-refined lounge — awaits. Think traditional Japanese tea house vibes with a side of “I could get used to this.”
The Afternoon Tea menu is a symphony of savoury and sweet: Chawan Mushi, Salmon with Yuzu, Beef Sando, Langoustine Nigiri for the savoury souls, and Roasted Soya, Red Bean Jelly, Matcha Roll Cake, Hoji Tea Pudding, Manjyu Bun, Chocolate Mochi, Roasted Rice Tea Cheesecake for the sweet tooth squad. Oh, and because it’s Emirati Women’s Day, they’re serving sparkling date juice exclusively for the occasion — alongside your fine teas and coffee.
Step 3: Conversations with a view
With ocean views and a calming hush that feels like an exhale, Tocha isn’t just where you eat — it’s where you linger. Swap stories, laugh too loud, or just watch the waves. Here, Afternoon Tea becomes a little celebration of strength, grace, and connection.
This isn’t just a spa day. It’s a soul-soothing, palate-pleasing, friend-gathering celebration of Emirati Women’s Day — wrapped in elegance and served with sparkling date juice.
