Radisson Blu Dhaka has created a Spa Sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of Dhaka’s hectic streets and stress

The Spa focuses on matching tranquillity rejuvenation and impeccable and cutting edge spa cuisine, during a half day / overnight package the guests are invited to a welcoming organic “iced” tea along with a spa “amuse bouche” to get the senses started, following a choice of either three customized treatments to rejuvenate revitalize and reinvigorate the body, followed by a cleansing bath to remove any toxins.

Guests are then escorted by their dedicated “spa butler” to the upstairs lavish Sublime restaurant and into the careful hands of Radissons Executive Chef Jed Archdeacon. Chef Jed has specific extensive “Spa Cuisine” experience when he previously worked with already famous spa cuisine places such as Six Senses / COMO hotels and Ritz Carlton (ESPA), where he worked closely with dieticians and therapists to create purposeful and flavoursome spa cuisine menus and dietary plans.

Chef Jed has developed a sect of Spa Cuisine classed as “RAW” cuisine which bases its philosophy upon preserving natural ingredients to a state where it does not exceed 32deg Celsius in order to maintain all natural minerals and healthy enzymes.

The cuisine is vegan based, however with detailed techniques Chef Jed and his team have worked to re-create hot not vegan dishes into RAW cuisine food, such as “Iced” Miso Soup / RAW Pad Thai / RAW Lime Tart / all of his creations are created solely with pure ingredients, no animal bi products and no refined sugars / salts or chemicals. The main process of these dishes is dehydration as Chef Jed explains some dishes take up to 3 days to prepare with long dehydrating periods.

The cuisine is to create a truly unique dining experience which looks to play with all the senses, so to match the concept of the Spa Sanctuary, the main mission is to show spa goers that healthy food can be beautiful / refined / lavish and flavorsome.

The three course menu is matched with iced RAW teas / herbal infusions / fresh pressed tropical juices.

Following the lunch / Dinner guests are invited back to the spa to focus on the aesthetics of the program, featuring on rejuvenating and invigorating the skin with their organic facial and therapy program, the program has been carefully planned out, the first stage of the package focuses on the more intense massage element followed by a nourishing and cleansing meal and purification of iced tea and juices, then at the peak of the experience working on the “beauty” elements, described as beautifying from the inside out.

Following the “final touches” on the body with the element of beautification the guests are encouraged to finish their cleansing with a signature Iced “RAW” tea and a selection of gluten free vegan petit fours as a treat.  


The ultimate half day / overnight getaway from the stresses of daily life will only be available at Radisson Blu Dhaka Water Garden!
