Al Faisaliah Spa by ESPA (Mandarin Oriental Al Faisaliah)

Al Faisaliah Spa by ESPA is the ladies-only spa of the Mandarin Oriental Al Faisaliah on King Fahad Road in Olaya, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. It is described as the first internationally branded ladies-only spa in the Kingdom, which gives it a particular place in the city's wellness scene. The setting is a hotel spa within one of Riyadh's best-known towers, designed as a private retreat where women can relax without concern for privacy, with private spa suites, a tea lounge and a calm, unhurried atmosphere.

The spa operates under the ESPA name, a British spa brand known for its natural, plant-based product ranges and holistic approach. The treatment menu lists hammam and heat therapies, an Arabian hot-stone massage, deep-tissue massage and Swedish massage, along with private spa suites for longer or couple-style sessions. The hammam draws on the regional bathing tradition of steam, exfoliation and cleansing, and the Arabian hot-stone massage gives a regional twist to a widely offered technique.

Facilities include a 14 metre pool and a tea lounge for relaxing before or after treatments, in addition to the heat facilities. Therapists work to ESPA's international training standards, and the combination of the Mandarin Oriental name and the ESPA brand gives the spa a strong reputation for consistent, high-end service. Treatments typically run from 60 to 120 minutes depending on the ritual or package.
