Top 10 treats for Mum this Mother's Day in Dubai

It seems flowers just won’t cut the mustard any more for Mother’s Day as our Mums become increasingly aware of the spectacular spa and dinner and gift treats on offer at local hotels and outlets.

HotelierMiddleEast.com received a barrage of emails with the hottest deals around the city – here are just a few of our favourites.

Say it with a spa

Whilst Mum’s body enjoys a state of relaxation, the therapist is applying an intensive anti-aging eye contour treatment, designed to offer immediate solutions to the sensitive skin around your eyes. It helps to diminish fine lines, dark circles, reduce puffiness and tired eyes, ensuring she leaves Senso with a healthy looking skin and a youthful glow.

After this, comes the Aroma Bath Soak, enhancing the entire treatment room with the scents of essential oils and balances out Mum’s stressed mind, leaving her completely relaxed and rejuvenated.

When: The package is available from 1-15 March.

Cost: AED540 (US $147) and includes use of spa facilities.
