Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - In what came to be known as ‘Jordan’s best kept secret,’ hidden in the midst of the arid terrain of the lowest spot on earth, springs a luxurious resort meant to indulge all your senses amidst a mystifying juxtaposition of earthy comfort, luxurious accommodation, all in a bewildering natural atmosphere.

Evason Ma’in Hot Springs and Six Senses Spa is truly a memorable treat.

Blending a classical and traditional setting with a modern elegant style and décor, Evason Ma’in creates a warm earthy atmosphere that reflects its surrounding, allowing you to leave everything behind and just indulge yourself with an experience that just lets you feel your every breath, hear your own pulse, taste the pure air as you smell the aromatic scent of luxury looking out on a dazzling natural beauty.

The unique experience leaves you to discover your sixth sense; a true sense of yourself.

Evason Ma’in can be a one night getaway, or a landmark stop within a tour of Jordan.
It is an ideally situated lush oasis less than an hour away from the capital, Amman, a ½ hour drive from the Dead Sea, and within short distance from main historical and religious sites such as the Baptism Site, Mount Nebo, and Madaba.

The resort houses 94 rooms and suites, 2 elegant Royal Suites, and a dazzling Honeymoon Suite on the top floor of the resort providing almost 360 degree views of the waterfall.

The first rate accommodation includes a wide array of regional and international cuisine fit to please any taste. The breakfast buffet, launched every morning with a wide array of fresh tastiness, is pretty wholesome.

The Panoramic setting on a cliff top at the edge of the Dead Sea is just a 15 minute drive from the resort. But if you find the comfort and serenity of Evason Ma'in inviting to stay at the resort, you can enjoy 'The Olive,' to experience an original Bedouin communal-style tradition of 'Zarb' under a traditional Bedouin tent, overlooking the hot spring waterfalls.

The Brown Bar offers an elegant setting with a tapas menu at lunch and dinner outside on the terrace. The Chef's Table offers customized lunch and dinner menus personalized to a small intimate dining experience to satisfy guests' taste desires.

The pampering experience at Evason Ma'in offers both therapeutic and relaxing natural refreshment of the Ma'in hot springs.

Our experience at Evason Ma'in was splendid. The friendly staff goes to great lengths to ensure that every detail of your stay is enjoyable.

You cannot stay at Evason Ma'in without coddling yourself in one of the several gushing hot springs, the natural cave Sauna, the oversized swimming pool backed by a dazzling view of the waterfall. Golf-carts transport you throughout the resorts amenities, so you don’t have to walk long under the hot sun, especially as you drive down to the Six Senses Spa, which is, aside from the overall resort, an experience in itself.

The Spa houses 10 treatment rooms, a hammam (bath) for an all-indulging therapeutically relaxing experience, and the wide range of massages just to fit your needs, whether it is a Dead Sea mud wrap, a salt scrub, an aroma oil message, a facial, footbath, hot stone therapy, these are just some of the pampering services offered.

Of course, such a retreat doesn’t come without a costly expense. To get a truly indulging experience at Evason Ma’in, your budget should be very well prepared. For many, it is an experience worth every ‘fils,’ for many others, it is an experience that just might need months of financial planning. Rooms are relatively priced considering the dazzling accommodation, and comparatively speaking, well centered in price of a 5-star resort. But what’s the point of staying in a room, as nice as it is, if you’re not going to indulge in the amenities that identify the whole experience; a mud wrap, soaking under the hot spring water falls, and above all, the ‘zarb’ lamb cooked in the earth traditional experience?
