In honour of Emirati Women’s Day, Banyan Tree Dubai has unveiled a thoughtfully curated experience that brings together the art of wellness and the elegance of afternoon tea. From 23rd to 31st August 2025, guests are invited to celebrate the occasion with a bespoke journey designed to restore balance, inspire reflection, and create meaningful moments of connection.
The experience begins at Banyan Tree Spa, where guests embark on the signature Rainforest Experience — a 60-minute hydrothermal ritual set within a private spa suite. This immersive journey is crafted to calm the senses through a series of therapeutic elements, including a shower walk, steam room, sauna, vitality pool, jacuzzi, and heated loungers. More than just a treatment, it is a complete retreat into tranquillity, tailored to ensure privacy, comfort, and modesty throughout.
Each guest is provided with exclusive access to ensuite changing rooms and Banyan Tree Essentials, setting the tone for a serene and indulgent ritual. Whether enjoyed individually as a personal reset or with an intimate group of up to six, the Rainforest Experience becomes a sanctuary where body and mind are gently realigned.
After the spa journey, the celebration continues at Tocha, Banyan Tree Dubai’s refined lounge inspired by the simplicity and serenity of traditional Japanese tea houses. Here, the Afternoon Tea menu takes centre stage with a selection of exquisite bites that blend global influences with Japanese precision.
Savoury highlights include Chawan Mushi, Salmon with Yuzu, Beef Sando, and Langoustine Nigiri, each offering delicate yet memorable flavours. On the sweeter side, guests can indulge in Roasted Soya, Red Bean Jelly, Matcha Roll Cake, Hoji Tea Pudding, Manjyu Bun, Chocolate Mochi, and Roasted Rice Tea Cheesecake — an artful balance of textures and tastes designed to linger on the palate.
For Emirati Women’s Day, Tocha has added an exclusive touch: a sparkling date juice, served alongside a selection of fine teas and coffee. This unique detail enhances the celebratory spirit of the occasion, weaving cultural resonance into an already refined culinary ritual.
Set against tranquil views of the resort and the ocean, Tocha offers an intimate backdrop for conversation and connection. It is more than just an afternoon tea; it becomes a moment of gathering, sharing stories, and celebrating womanhood in an atmosphere of understated elegance.
Priced at AED 450 per person, this limited-time experience offers both indulgence and meaning, designed for those who wish to celebrate Emirati Women’s Day in a serene and memorable way. With wellness, gastronomy, and cultural appreciation seamlessly combined, Banyan Tree Dubai reaffirms its place as a destination where mindful luxury thrives.
