The Healing Power of the Dead Sea

Nestled in a lush oasis overlooking Israel’s Dead Sea shore is Le Meridien Hotel. Elite Tour Club’s 7-day Luxury Spa vacations here offers you superb spa facilities and health treatments. Body-wraps, body-scrubs and mud facials of marine clay are all included — along with relaxation, reflexology and massages.

Or, if you prefer, you can simply float on the Dead Sea’s buoyancy with a book! Alternatively, if you’d prefer a break in Jordan, you can join Elite Tour Club’s 7-day Luxury Spa Retreats at the Kempenski Hotel Ishtar, or at the Marriott Dead Sea Resort. They offer an amazing array of rejuvenating treatments. Both of their spas provide body-wraps, body-scrubs and mud facials of marine clay — along with relaxation, reflexology and massages. At Kempenski Hotel’s spa, a day is set aside for a traditional Arabic treatment —

The Royal Hammam Ritual of purification and skin-cleansing. Its saltwater might warm your feet in Israel or Jordan, but all of the world’s spas are linked in some way to the Dead Sea. It’s possibly the world’s oldest-recognised spa water. With 8.6-times more salt than the ocean, this deep hyper-saline lake was prized by Cleopatra of Jerusalem for its minerals and muddy clay. But the Dead Sea’s restorative properties aren’t all about water and mud minerals — its warm dry air is exceptionally unpolluted and pretty pollen-free.

This makes it ideal for respiratory complaints. Solar therapy can be good for physical and mental wellbeing — including for seasonal affective disorder, depression and some skin conditions. The Dead Sea’s low elevation has a filtering-effect on harmful UV rays; this can reduce sunburn and accumulated light damage.

Dead Sea water and clay’s beneficial properties include sodium, magnesium and bromide; all of which are believed to extract toxins. And their mineral-mix will naturally exfoliate your skin, relieve stress and be holistically healing. Bathing hydrotherapy also exploits the Dead Sea’s salt and minerals. Your skin absorbs the water’s trace-elements — magnesium, potassium, calcium, sodium and iodide. Hydrotherapy showers you with warm seawater, and Elite Tour Club’s spa consultants will luxuriantly apply marine clay and algae paste to your skin.

You may also sample — Cleopatra-like — the delights of wallowing 422m below sea-level; the lowest place on Earth. Possibly the world’s oldest recognised spa water, treat yourself with one of our spa breaks.
