Few images depict an emblem of sacred love like that of The Birth of Venus by Sandro Botticelli- a stunning and beautifully intricate work of art that is akin to a type of painted theatre. This year, Palazzo Versace Dubai gets swept away in the romance of it all by dedicating this celebration to none other than Venus, the Goddess of Love.
Guests will be treated to a specially curated menu at Vanitas or Enigma with the nod to Venus delectably noted throughout. For those who feel the love with some pampering time, The SPA has launched the Sea Creation Barbor Facial as an ode to Botticelli’s masterpiece.
The Birth of Venus is a truly iconic masterpiece and it’s clear to see why. In Greek mythology Venus, who was created from the white sea foam is blown towards the shore on a large scallop shell by the breath of two wind-Gods, whilst a nymph waits on dry land to cover her in a pink, flower adorned cloak. These elements have been woven into both the Valentine’s dinner menu at both Vanitas and Enigma.

The SPA
To mark the occasion, The SPA will be launching a new Babor facial, named SeaCreation that once again harks back to the iconic Birth of Venus masterpiece by incorporating the most active and rare ingredients obtained from the depths of the ocean.
The Seatelligent Complex improves skin functions, protects the skin against premature aging and demonstrably reduces existing signs of aging. The result is renewed beauty: the depths of lines are significantly reduced, facial contours are remodeled, resulting in a firmer and more supple skin appearance.
