The Oberoi Beach Resort, UAE

When it comes to sound healing experiences in the region, Ajman most certainly shouldn’t be overlooked. Home to one of the most luxurious spas in the city complete with an 85 metre pool and seven suites, head to the plush The Oberoi Al Zorah where Tibetan bowl spa treatments are par for the course. Perhaps its most popular treatment, we suggest booking in for the Energy Balance with Himalayan Singing Bowls treatment which sees long, soothing massage strokes designed to remove blockages in the body’s energy points complemented by a sound bath that will lull your body into a deeply meditative state.
