...WE BELIEVE THAT THE EXPERIENCE IS THE JOURNEY, NOT THE DESTINATION.
NINE DEGREES SPA NINE Degrees Spa is an enchanting journey of wellness throughout several Middle Eastern regions, absorbing the cultures, traditional methods and healing remedies along the way. Throughout the Orient, many medicinal skills and recipes have been handed down from one generation to the next. Most of them were derived from the Father of Modern Medicine, Abu Ali Ibn Sina, who is rated one of the most gifted scholars in the history of medicine. We wish to preserve these ancient healing therapies, within our NINE Degrees Signature Treatments. The NINE Degrees treatments and spa rituals have been carefully chosen and developed to provide the upmost relaxation and therapeutic value. A wonderful collection of ancient health and beauty practices that have been passed down from generation to generation, carefully selected and combined with modern technologies to develop a rare collection of signature treatments, unique rituals and wellness concepts.
The
INSPIRATION A Seed of Thought Became a Reality A group of innovative spa creators got together in 2008 and after a few discussions about the ever evolving Spa industry in the region they recognized a fundamental missing link‌. a Middle Eastern Spa Concept! The primary philosophy of a spa is healing the body through applying various technics, traditional methods and effective therapies combined with comfort, care, and relaxation. There are so many delightful ingredients in the Middle East that have been effective healers for the body, mind and soul for centuries afore the heritage, culture and hospitality remains strong until current day. The inspiration for NINE Degrees was to develop a unique spa brand that keeps Middle Eastern traditions alive, whilst increasing public knowledge and understanding of the value and vital importance of Health and Relaxation within daily living and leisure time.
The
CREATION RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
The seed of thought then excelled into fruition as our team of specialists performed months of research to find indigenous ingredients from the various Middle Eastern regions. Intensive studies were compiled in particular to the purity, potency and efficacy as well as the history, culture and origin of each to ensure each formula provides the most therapeutic value and antiquity. Wonderful ingredients such as Frankincense, Myrrh, Ginger, Clove, Honey, Fig, Argan Oil, and Rhassoul were chosen: a final selection was made and then each formula was then combined with modern technics and therapeutic remedies to produce an enchanting selection of the signature products “NINE”.
NINE DEGREES BRAND T H E P R I N C I PA L I D E NT ITY JOURNEY / CULTURE / CONTEMPORARY
Within these 3 pillars our identity follows the same principals: JOURNEY / creating memorable experiences CULTURE / encompassing the regions traditions & customs CONTEMPORARY / a refreshing representation of ancient History THE CORE ESSENCE OF THE NINE DEGREES BRAND PORTRAYS THREE DISTINCTIVE METAMORPHOSIS OF MIDDLE EASTERN EXISTENCE, WHICH ARE REPRESENTED THROUGHOUT OUR DESIGN STANDARDS, BRAND (IDENTITY) STANDARDS AND SERVICE STANDARDS.

THE DIFFERENCE How do you measure success? NINE Degrees Spas measure it three ways. A hotel spa, resort spa, or wellness facility is a business success if it is profitable, sustainable and, when you’re ready to be saleable. That is why The NINE Degrees Spa group creates a business model for clients before we design a facility. Do you have a spa concept? How will you stand out from the competition? Who are your consumers and what kinds of services do they want? What is your budget? What kind of profit can you expect?
The NINE Degrees Spa Group helps clients create a vision for their project that is consumer driven, with an emphasis on a strong concept, focused planning and effective business strategies. Then we help design an aesthetically pleasing, consumer friendly facility. Whether starting a new day spa, resort spa, hotel spa, wellness center or, expanding an existing facility, The NINE Degrees Spa Group has the expertise to help you succeed. It’s not about the size of your project. It’s about the strength of your dream. It’s about helping you build a business that can grow and flourish.
