Your visit

What to expect at reSTART

reSTART runs a tight schedule with minimal preamble. Reception checks you in, points you to the changing room, and the therapist meets you within 5 minutes. The 60-minute treatment runs to time, and most visitors are out the door 15–20 minutes after it ends. No drawn-out lounging unless you specifically ask.

The pre-treatment consultation at reSTART is short but important. Confirm pressure (most visitors default to "firm but not painful"), flag any joint or back issues, mention oil allergies up front, and tell the therapist whether you want to chat or sleep. English and Arabic are the main therapist languages; English is universal at reception.

Location & access

Visiting Yas Island

reSTART is located in Yas Island, Abu Dhabi. Yas Island's resort spas (W Yas, Yas Hotel, Park Inn) cater to weekend visitors and Formula 1 / Yas Marina patrons. Recovery and sports massage are popular.

Travel to Yas Island is car / taxi only. Plan for 15–30 minutes extra on weekends and event days. The venue itself sits at Villa 134 Yaw As Simaynah St - Al Muntazah - E48 - Abu Dhabi - United Arab Emirates (24.4308°N, 54.4428°E).

Hours vary. WhatsApp checks same-day availability fastest. Weekday daytime is usually open to walk-ins; Abu Dhabi weekend evenings need 2–3 days of lead time, especially for couples suites.

Practical guide

How to visit reSTART

A short walkthrough — what to prepare, what happens, what to do after.

1

Booking and check-in

reSTART books primarily via WhatsApp. Replies arrive within 5–10 minutes during open hours. Plan to be on site 10 minutes early — that's the buffer for changing, a short consultation form and a chat with the therapist about pressure. Advance booking is the safer route here; walk-ins only sometimes work.

2

Tipping and payment

Cards and cash both work for payment (confirm Apple Pay specifics on WhatsApp). Tipping isn't required; the local convention is 10–15% in cash, handed to the therapist personally rather than processed through reception.

3

After the treatment

Hydrate well — both massage and hammam release fluids and minor toxins. Avoid intense exercise for 12 hours. If you had a facial, skip new skincare products that evening and let the skin breathe. Most visitors leave feeling looser; the full effect lands 12–24 hours later.

I want to thank Vanessa for her exceptional skill and ability to release all my triggers points and contractures helping ease away the pain that was causing me migraines stemming from the cervical area, tension built in my lower back and around my shoulders. She is attentive and absolutely professional, she made me feel very comfortable and I couldn’t be happier with her. She’s so lovely and caring, a true dedicated physiotherapist. I highly recommend her. I’m truly grateful. Que dios te bendiga!

I just want to say a big thank you to Vanessa for the amazing job she did. Her expertise in phylogenetics is impressive, but what really stood out was how well she treated me professional, kind, and genuinely caring. The muscle massage session was incredibly effective and made a huge difference. I left feeling so much better. Truly grateful for her skill and dedication!

First time trying out sports massage here at reSTART & I had my session with Veronica. Let me begin by saying that from the moment I met with Veronica I instantly felt relaxed. She was extremely warm & friendly & made me feel comfortable from the start. She is absolutely amazing at what she does & was focused on helping me feel better. She was attentive & always made sure that I was feeling okay & always made sure that the pressure was suited to me & that it wasn’t a painful experience. The sports massage was the best I’ve done in Abu Dhabi. Veronica helped tackle & release my tension problems & made it extremely pleasant experience. I left the facility feeling 1000% better than when I walked in. Words cannot describe how grateful I am for Veronica & all that she did today. If you’re looking for the best sports massage I highly recommend Veronica. Her knowledge, experience, professionalism & warm personality is everything you could ask for. Again thank you reSTART for the space that is inviting & welcoming & to Veronica that has made my experience far more than I expected. I thought I would be in pain but she helped me feel better through her knowledge, experience & awareness of the body. Thank you so much I will see you next week!
