About the project
Designed by esadore Creative, NINE Degrees Spa based at the Fairmont Ajman Hotel is a unique spa that has been designed to reflect an enchanting journey that travels throughout several Middle Eastern countries and regions, absorbing cultures, traditional methods and healing remedies along the way to develop a rare collection of signature treatments, unique rituals and wellness concepts.
All treatment rooms are simple and functional with guest comfort and the therapist’s ease of movement in mind. They are beautifully designed as contemporary modern spaces with Arabic elements and include a stunning view of the beachfront. The modern interpretation of the Middle Eastern theme is reflected in design elements like the antique mirrors, Persian carpets and mashrabiya screens for privacy and natural mood lighting. The treatment bed is in the center of the room and storage areas for supplies and equipment are cleverly concealed in one side of the room to avoid clutter.
The spa has all the essential facilities for a luxury spa including separate changing rooms for men and women with lockers, showers and toilets, each having their own heat experiences (sauna and steam room). There are also separate relaxation areas where guests can stay and enjoy their calm state, overlooking the beautiful swimming pool and the beach. The main highlight of this wellness space is the unique and generous sized Hammam located in the center of the spa, which has a stunning view of the Arabian Gulf, its own steam room and tepidarium for pre and post treatment relaxation and socializing. The unique Sunset Hammam treatment, which takes place while you bask in the dramatic glow of the setting sun setting over the Arabian Sea, is truly a highlight.
The modern approach to traditional Arabic design is also reflected in the reception and spa souk area of the spa, also known as the Souk at the Nine. Some of the key features of this space include a play counter that has a large samovar, a working tap to wash your hands. Guests are invited to use this to test products and receive a welcome wash. The retail wall display unit is interchangeable and retail boxes are positioned all around the souk, encouraging guests to move around the unique retail space. The retail range is also unique as it’s not just spa products but also has lifestyle products such as candles, oil diffusers, pillows, artwork, Arabic and Persian ceramics, backgammon boards, not to mention Hammam bathing products, resort fashion (kaftans, clutch bags, beach bags etc) and signature NINE Degrees products as well.
esadore Creative‘s creative and holistic approach has allowed us to create a perfect Middle-Eastern spa concept incorporating design that is stylish yet thoughtful for the operators and the end users, a unique concept with an interesting story to tell, practitioners that are passionate and professionally trained and treatments and services which address our client’s needs and are results-driven.
