"A Roman Bath in a Shopping Mall This ladies-only spa is tucked into a corner of the luxurious second floor of Doha's Gate Mall. Diva Spa is the ultimate urban sanctuary with its clean architecture, abundant natural life, oriental decoration, and peaceful ambiance. From the moment the receptionist welcomes you with a cup of hot ginger tea, you know that you are about to be seriously spoiled. Diva offers a wide variety of day treatments (including a "Cleopatra Milk Bath,") many of which are inspired by ancient Thai rituals. For a unique cross-cultural experience, try the Hammam Damashqui, a sensual treatment which traces its roots to the famous Roman baths. The hammam at Diva is a combination of warm steam bath, deep cleansing, thorough exfoliation, and honey: large quantities of honey rubbed over your whole body, leaving your skin radiant and your mind in a state of bliss. The prices are mid-range: not over-the-top expensive, but not for the tired traveler seeking a budget spa. The spa has three branches: Gate Mall, Royal Plaza, and Gharafa. Their telephone number is: +974 44077117"
