Facial at home in Abu Dhabi

Evenings and early mornings

Every day from 8am to 10pm. A late session can end as late as 1am. In Abu Dhabi, many people book a facial for the early evening, after the drive home, or for a weekend afternoon in a villa. Every day from 8am to 10pm. A late session can end as late as 1am. A session that ends after 10pm costs AED 100 extra per booking. You can book the same day with at least 4 hours of notice, when an aesthetician is free.

Islands, bridges and time saved

Abu Dhabi rewards people who plan their drives. Getting from one island to another, or from a villa community to the centre, can take a while at busy times. A facial at home turns that travel time into rest. You can come in from work, change and lie down, and your aesthetician does the travelling.

For many people the facial is less about one result and more about routine. A cleanse every few weeks, hydration when the skin feels tight, brightening before a big occasion. If you are not sure where to start, our guide to a facial at home in Dubai applies just as well in Abu Dhabi, and your aesthetician can suggest a rhythm for your skin.

The facials, durations and add-ons are the same as in Dubai, so if you have had a RHEA facial there, you can book the same one at home in Abu Dhabi.

Villas, apartments and hotel rooms

Homes in Abu Dhabi range from island apartments to large villas in Khalifa City and Al Raha, plus hotel rooms along the beaches and the Corniche. A facial fits any of them. To get ready:

In a villa, a guest room or a bedroom with a door you can close keeps the hour calm while the household carries on. In an apartment on one of the islands, the living room usually works once a coffee table is moved. Your aesthetician brings the treatment table, skincare and towels, and packs everything away at the end.

• Enter the full address, building or villa name and any gate or entrance notes.
• Choose a quiet room with good light, and clear about two by two metres of floor.
• Move a coffee table or a chair aside to make space for the table.
• In a hotel, check that outside visitors are welcome before you book.
• Keep the air conditioning comfortable, and pets out of the room.

Beach days, events and a calm hour

Weekends on Saadiyat or Yas often mean beach time, and weekday evenings often mean events and dinners. Plan facials around both. After a beach day, choose hydration and avoid exfoliation on sun-flushed skin. Before an event, book deeper facials a few days ahead and gentle ones the day before; our guide to a facial before an event has the details.

For a facial that is mostly relaxation, the Kobido Facial Massage is hands-on facial massage at AED 365 for 60 minutes. If you also spend time in Dubai, see our facials in Dubai page; the prices are identical. Each facial is for one person, so family members simply book their own.

During Ramadan, many people prefer an evening facial after iftar; the hours and prices stay the same all year. Gift cards can also be used for any massage or facial. A RHEA gift card is valid for 12 months.
