Raison d’Etre is opening a 3,500sq m (37,764sq ft) spa in Palm Hills, Cairo, with a soft opening set for November.

Situated within the area of Palm Club Egypt, a recreational and sports club and part of Palm Hills Developments’ flagship project, the spa will include 11 treatment rooms, a double treatment suite, nail spa, a relax and lap pool with whirlpool, spa cafe and tea garden. It will also later add two double-treatment cabanas by the lagoon and outdoor pool.

The free standing spa is Raison d’Etre’s first in Cairo, and will use Phytomer and Themae product houses.

“The managerial staff and the therapists are all international, highly experienced professionals, trained by Raison d’Etre, Phytomer and Themae,” said Nikos Kouremenos, education and project manager for Raison d’Etre. “It’s a unique offering to Cairians, especially on this side of Cairo, overlooking the pyramids.”

Palm Club also includes tennis courts, squash courts, an Olympic-sized swimming pool, football and basketball programmes, and all of the sports have academies for children run by professional organisations, including football by Barcelona Football Club.
