AlUla, a captivating region of ancient wonders and dramatic landscapes in north-western Saudi Arabia, is fast emerging as a premier destination for transformative wellness experiences. Beyond its historical significance and breathtaking scenery, AlUla’s hotels and resorts are pioneering spa treatments as unique and enriching as the destination itself. Here are five experiences to try this Summer to elevate your wellness journey like nowhere else:
1) AlUla Essence Massage
Inspired by the healing elements of the Arabian desert, this signature massage at Our Habitas AlUla uses locally sourced ingredients such as Moringa Peregrina, frankincense, and mastika to soothe aches, calm the body, and promote balance. Complemented by the placement of warm AlUla rocks to clear energy pathways, the treatment offers a holistic journey to well-being.

2) Moringa Candlelight Massage
This is a unique treatment that harnesses the power of Moringa Peregrina Tree Oil. Infused within the candle, this nourishing oil works to reduce inflammation and accelerate healing. As the candle melts, the warm oil is used in a soothing massage that relieves tight muscles, reduces tension, and improves circulation. The inherent goodness of the Moringa Peregrina Tree Oil further nourishes the skin and provides aromatherapy benefits, contributing to a holistic and deeply relaxing experience.
