The Spa embodies the renaissance of a classical European spa, fusion of modern and traditional design, art, music, bespoke therapies and bathing.

The concept is distinctive in its approach to wellness and facilitates the benefits of the Dead Sea with a European touch and indulgence at its core. The guest journey in the spa is meant to be a bespoke experience with a certain element of surprise and delight enhanced by the extensive hydro-facilities, the stunning Spa Lemon Garden and outdoor pools overlooking the sea.

The Ishtar Spa by Resense is the pioneer in providing a luxurious yet authentic Dead Sea experience in the serenity of its 10,000 sqm private premises. While embracing the traditions of the oldest Spa in the world - the Dead Sea, The Ishtar Spa by Resense offers a unique experience, a nourishing, individually tailored journey of relaxation and pure pampering.

While the direct competition is featuring medical spa concepts or treatment-focused and massage dominated spa experiences, The Ishtar Spa by Resense is the only experience centered point of reference for exclusive spa journeys.
