New details about the spa at the recently opened Fairmont Ajman have been revealed to Spa Opportunities.

With panoramic views of the Arabian Gulf, the hotel stands on 200m (656ft) of beachfront sand over 14 storeys, including 252 bedrooms and two-storey penthouses.

Lindsay Madden-Nadeau, FRHI’s director of spa integration and operations, told Spa Opportunities that this spa – designed by Dubai-based architects Esadore Creative – will be operated by a third party when it opens later this year.

The 9,000sq ft (836sq m) spa will have four male and four female treatment rooms, as well as a couples' suite. The wet zone facilities will include separate male and female sauna and steamrooms, plus one hammam with a steamroom and experience shower.

Products to be used in treatments will include Nine – for spa therapies – Bath House for hammam experiences and Wella for salon services. Products for the male barber services have yet to be confirmed.

The spa director for this site has not yet been appointed.

In addition to the spa and fitness centre, other leisure facilities at the hotel include a large infinity pool and a children’s centre.

There are also seven meeting spaces at the property including a ballroom that can accommodate more than 380 attendees, with 9m high floor-to-ceiling windows. Seven restaurants and lounges are also on offer.

According to a statement by Fairmont, Ajman has seen a wave of development in recent years and there are numerous projects planned for the Emirate that will secure business for the hotel. For example, Al Zorah is a development that is set to unfold, featuring residences, a championship 18-hole golf course and a marina with a variety of water sports. Another example is the development of a multi-million dollar airport and a theme park in the region.
