Etihad Airways has joined forces with Be Relax, a globally recognized airport spa brand, to introduce a groundbreaking 24/7 wellness spa within the Etihad Lounge at Abu Dhabi’s Zayed International Airport (AUH). This marks the first collaboration between the two companies, offering travelers an unparalleled opportunity for relaxation and rejuvenation as they navigate this major international travel hub. The spa, situated in the newly opened Terminal A, embodies the shared commitment of Etihad Airways and Be Relax to prioritize wellness within the travel experience.
Accessible to both Etihad Lounge guests and all passengers, the Be Relax Spa provides a convenient and luxurious respite without the need for advanced reservations or memberships. Turky Al Hammadi, Director of Product and Hospitality at Etihad Airways, stated, “Whether departing from Abu Dhabi or connecting between two flights, we are thrilled to welcome our guests to experience the Be Relax Spa located at our premium Lounge. When it comes to pampering, our partners, Be Relax, are experts at creating an indulgent and rejuvenating spa experience. The services are flexibly timed to allow our guests to make the most of their time at the airport and arrive at their destination feeling relaxed and refreshed.”
Etihad’s guests flying in The Residence and First Class can enjoy a complimentary spa service during their journey, while all travelers are warmly invited to indulge in the spa facilities regardless of their travel class. The experience is further enhanced by exclusive partnerships with two esteemed brands: Valmont, a leader in luxury skincare, offers exclusive products and facial treatments, and Philip Martin’s, an acclaimed Italian brand known for its aromatic expertise, provides premium body and hair care services. In addition, travelers can treat themselves to Be Relax’s signature chair massages, full-body massages, hair and nail care, barber services, BODYFUL Experience Showers, and unique Sophrology sessions in partnership with Ressource Paris.
This partnership sets a new standard for travel wellness, seamlessly blending the comfort of a lounge with the rejuvenating power of a spa. For Be Relax, it represents a pioneering concept in airport wellness. “I am thrilled by this strategic partnership. Our expertise in travel wellness combined with the premium Etihad Lounge sets the tone for a new chapter in Be Relax’s journey,” said Frederic Briest, CEO and Founder of Be Relax. “As we celebrate our 20th anniversary this year, this project couldn’t have come at a better time. It not only opens new horizons for our brand but also showcases the future of travel wellness to the world.”
At the heart of Be Relax’s mission is the dedication to making wellness an integral part of everyday life. With nearly 40 spas across the globe, Be Relax focuses on creating treatments, products, and a community that values self-care and well-being. The true appeal of Be Relax lies in its accessibility, offering services that cater to even the busiest schedules—whether it’s a quick 15-minute chair massage or a more luxurious full-body treatment.
