What is the Rasul spa at Bannatyne?
About the experience Enjoy exclusive use of the rasul suite for a 40-minute, self-led spa ritual inspired by ancient Arabian traditions. This deeply cleansing experience combines mineral-rich muds with the therapeutic benefits of heat and steam, all within a private and beautifully designed sensory chamber. Rasul is traditionally used during a hammam, otherwise known as a Turkish bath. The bather wears a kessa, a glove for spreading the poultice across the skin and body and throughout the hair. Rasul helps clear, soften and rejuvenate the skin by removing dead skin cells and tightening the pores.The ‘Royal’ hammam is a ceremonial experience, beginning with the application of black soap made from olive oil and medicinal plants and infused with delicate notes of neroli and eucalyptus. The skin is then thoroughly cleansed with a kessa glove, before wrapping the body in a ghassoul clay mask.
