Fabulous package deals on offer at East Coast resort; valid from 6th of February to 11th of February

Fujairah, February 3, 2004: As part of its ongoing first anniversary celebrations, Le Meridien Al Aqah Beach Resort will be rewarding guests with a variety of special packages valid from the 6th of February till the 11th of February 2004. These packages, whilst giving guests the opportunity to sample the incomparable leisure facilities available at the resort, also provide incredible value for money for residents of the UAE.
 
Packages start for as little as AED 400 a night and include a spacious room (standard or superior) with a fabulous sea view and a choice of one of the following: a local dive with full equipment or a snorkelling trip courtesy of Al Boom Marine Diving Centre; a manicure, pedicure and foot massage or a full facial courtesy of Le Mirage Salon.  For wellness enthusiasts, the hotel is offering an Elakkazhi herbal massage or Dhara massage (relax and rejuvenate) at the newly opened Softouch Ayurvedic Centre.  At the Cleopatra Spa rooms, guests can indulge themselves in a Thai Massage or Exotic Frangipani Body Nourishing Wrap.  The superior double package is only AED 600 per night.
 
“Our anniversary was actually in December 2003 but we were having too much fun and decided to let the party continue just a little while longer with this ‘special packages’ week. Since doors opened, Le Meridien Al Aqah Beach Resort has become everyone’s favourite getaway destination and we wanted to thank regular guests for their support.  So this week we’re giving something back,” said Patrick Antaki, general manager, Le Meridien Al Aqah Beach Resort.
 
“Our ‘special packages’ week reflects our commitment to providing value added services to tourists and families here in the U.A.E. Le Meridien Al Aqah Beach Resort has been quite successful in promoting Fujairah as a formidable tourist destination and we plan to sustain this momentum in our second year. This week is just the beginning,” he added.
 
Marine recreation on the East Coast of the UAE is unparalleled and keen dive enthusiasts should take advantage of the ‘special packages’ week by enjoying a free dive or some leisurely snorkelling at some of the best dive sites in the region. Le Meridien Al Aqah Beach Resort has partnered with Al Boom Marine to operate its dive centre which offers a full itinerary of wreck and night dives throughout the year, as well as day cruises to the Musandam fjords and short trips to nearby islands for snorkelling safaris.
 
The Softouch Ayurvedic Centre is the latest offering at the hotel where guests can indulge themselves in exotic massages from the Southern Indian State of Kerela as well as try out a number of various Ayurvedic health programs and treatments designed to soothe the mind, body and soul. During the special packages week guests can choose between an herbal massage or rejuvenation massage, both guaranteed to leave them revitalised.
 
A joint venture between Emirates Airlines and the Hotel and Resort Investment Company, Le Meridien Al Aqah Beach Resort has provided a major thrust to the tourism sector in the East Coast of the UAE, and is located on a two kilometre sand beach, nestled between the Hajar Mountains and the Indian Ocean. Some of the hotel’s state of the art facilities include a Wellness Centre featuring Cleopatra Beauty Rooms, the Baywatch Village restaurant complex, four additional bars and restaurants and a professional diving centre.
