Raison d’Etre teams with M+N architecture and Blue Camel Design to create first LivNordic spa in the UAE

by Helen Andrews | 13 Aug 2015

Spa consultancy Raison d’Etre is set to launch the first LivNordic-branded spa in the UAE on the sixth floor of Cayan Tower, offering panoramic views of the Dubai marina.

Ian Bell, project manager for Raison d’Etre, is working with Italian firm M+N architecture to complete the Dubai site, with the assistance of interior design specialist Blue Camel Design, for the big reveal, which is set for December. The building, a twisted sky scraper, is by SOM.

Spa director Carolina Moquist said: “We are very excited to open the doors of the first LivNordic Spa by Raison d’Etre in the UAE. Through our partnership with Cayan Group, we are bringing a Nordic spa concept with a blend of long-proven health traditions, combined with the latest innovations in spa and wellness. Guests will be able to indulge in our unique health and beauty treatments, as well as experience and learn a sound approach to a happy, healthy and balanced lifestyle.”

This site’s opening follows the unveiling of the eight-treatment room spa concept aboard the first of two Viking Ocean Cruises ships in April and Raison d’Etre has a number of additional LivNordic spas in the pipeline for 2016, including openings at the Katara Beach Club in Qatar; the mixed-use mega-development by Majan Developments called Al Muzn in Oman; The Capra in the Swiss Alps; and a second Viking Ocean Cruises spa.
