European Massage Spa at Qaryat Al Beri

Venetion Spa sits inside The Souk Qaryat Al Beri, a canal-side souk on Khor Al Maqta in Bain Al Jessrain, Abu Dhabi, part of the Shangri-La Qaryat Al Beri complex next to Traders Hotel. The souk is a covered arcade of shops and cafes built along the water, and Venetion Spa is one of the treatment spaces inside it, so the walk in feels more like a stroll through a small waterside market than a hotel corridor. If you are coming by taxi or ride-hailing app, name The Souk Qaryat Al Beri or the Shangri-La Qaryat Al Beri complex as your destination, since both point drivers to the same arcade. Once you are inside the souk, message the team on WhatsApp and describe where you are standing, and someone will guide you the rest of the way to the spa entrance, whether you are arriving from the Shangri-La side or the Traders Hotel side of the complex.

Venetion Spa is open every day of the week, from 10 AM until 2 AM, with no separate weekend schedule and no midweek closing day. That long window suits an afternoon session between errands, an evening treatment after work, or a late visit if your day only frees up once the souk has quieted down. Prices stay the same across the whole day and week, so there is no separate evening or weekend rate to plan around. Appointments are recommended rather than left to chance, since the team can hold a specific time and match you to a therapist who is free for the treatment you want, whether that is tension relaxation, hot stone or one of the Thai-style massages. Message the team on WhatsApp with the day and time you have in mind, and they will confirm the closest available slot within that daily 10 AM to 2 AM window.

You book a treatment at Venetion Spa by sending a WhatsApp message to +971 58 908 8743, naming the treatment, the duration and a time that suits you. There is no separate booking app and no online payment to arrange in advance, so the entire process happens inside one conversation. If you already know which therapist you would like, mention their name in the same message, and the team will try to match your request to that day's schedule. The same number takes phone calls too, which is useful if you want to talk through a few options, such as choosing between a 60 and 90-minute session, before deciding. Confirmation comes back through WhatsApp, and appointments are recommended, especially for the multi-therapist treatments, since they need more than one therapist free at the same time. Payment happens in person once your treatment is finished.

Venetion Spa lists twelve treatments, with most massages priced from AED 350 to AED 700 depending on duration, and the multi-therapist formats running higher since they involve two or three therapists working together in one session. Every price is fixed and posted on the treatment menu, so you know the cost before you message to book, with no hidden charges and no separate rate for evenings or weekends. Each session includes a private treatment room, set aside separately for men and women, along with premium oils and aromatherapy blends chosen for the treatment you have booked. Sixty and ninety-minute sessions are available across most of the menu, so you can match the length to how much time you actually have. Payment is settled in person once your treatment ends, using cash or a card, including contactless, since booking through WhatsApp does not involve any online payment step.

For a first visit, Tension Relaxation Massage or Aromatherapy Massage are a gentle way to get to know Venetion Spa's European technique, since both work across the whole body at a comfortable pressure rather than targeting one problem area. If you already know you are carrying tension in your shoulders or back, Deep Tissue Massage applies firmer, more targeted pressure, while Hot Stone Massage and Signature Bamboo Fusion add heated stones or warm bamboo tools to the same European approach. A 60-minute session is a reasonable starting point if you are not sure how your body will respond, and you can always book 90 minutes next time once you know which technique suits you. If you are still deciding, describe what you are feeling to the team on WhatsApp, tight shoulders, general stress or travel fatigue, and they will recommend a treatment from the full menu.

Venetion Spa offers three treatments built for more than one therapist or more than one guest. Double Relaxation Massage uses two therapists working on a single guest at the same time, often described as a four-hands massage, so you get more coverage in the same amount of time. Indulgences For Two is built for two guests treated side by side in the same room, suited to couples or friends visiting together. 6 Hands Massage adds a third therapist for the most intensive format on the menu. All three are priced as one session covering everyone involved, at both 60 and 90 minutes, and booked the same way as any other treatment, through a WhatsApp message naming which format you want and how many guests are joining. If you are not sure which of the three suits your visit, describe how many guests are joining and what you are hoping to get out of the session, and the team can recommend the best fit.
