At the lowest point on Earth, where the mineral density of the Dead Sea has attracted those seeking relief for millennia, Kempinski Hotel Ishtar provides the most well-appointed setting on the Jordanian shore for engaging with these ancient waters. The Ishtar Spa by Resense houses 20 treatment rooms, a Dead Sea pool, and the largest hydropool on this stretch of coast, and the Hanging Gardens of Babylon architecture gives the resort a mythological weight that goes beyond mere theme. At 345 rooms with nine pools, five restaurants, and full meetings and events infrastructure, it is unmistakably a large resort rather than a healing retreat, and the scale makes concentration difficult. But the Dead Sea itself does not require a programme: floating in water that is ten times saltier than the ocean, in air saturated with bromine, at an altitude where UV radiation is naturally filtered, is a restorative experience that belongs entirely to this singular place on earth.

434 meters below sea level! The Dead Sea is a salt lake situated in the Jordan Valley at the lowest point on Earth.
The salinity of the Dead Sea is about 10 times saltier than the ocean and is considered an extremely hostile environment that bars the existence of any plants or animals in it. Said intense salinity is the contributing factor to the floating phenomena which people from around the world have flocked to witness and try firsthand for many centuries. Widely regarded as the oldest naturally occurring spa, the salinity allows for the presence of a unique mineral content in the waters and muds of the Dead Sea which have been long regarded as potential treatments for many topical ailments. Additionally, being so low below sea level, airborne allergens and pollen are hardly present and the reduced ultraviolet component of the sunlight along with a higher atmospheric pressure have been noted to improve respiratory function.
The Ishtar Spa by Resense is the largest spa in the region at 10,000 sq m (107,639 sq ft) and having 20 treatment rooms with private shower facilities, 6 outdoor individual treatment and relaxation areas, hydro-facilities with a steam room, sauna and whirlpool, Tepidarium heated lounges, Dead Sea pool and the largest hydro-pool in the Dead Sea.
