Six Senses Spa Dubai is on the fifth floor of the Renaissance Downtown Hotel on Marasi Drive in Business Bay, overlooking the Dubai Water Canal and the Downtown skyline. It opened as the first Six Senses Spa in Dubai, and its concept is built around the senses: each of its six treatment suites is dedicated to one of sound, sight, touch, smell, taste and a sixth sense, called Beyond.

The suites are what make the spa distinctive. The sound suite has a vibroacoustic lounger with guided singing bowl and chime sessions, the touch suite houses flotation pods, and the taste suite offers treatments built around spices, while Beyond focuses on calming and cleansing the mind, with some yoga. The décor is soft beige and sand with floor-to-ceiling windows. The massage menu has included Memories of Arabia, a holistic massage, a tension soother and movement restoration, along with deep tissue and lymphatic massage and reflexology; nail services have also been listed. The spa is listed as open daily from 10am to 9pm, and reservations are taken by phone and email. Most published detail comes from guides and booking sites rather than a current official page, so confirm the menu and opening before visiting.
