Wellness weekend in Dubai
Wellness and longevity are Dubai’s new power play. Here’s how to experience the ultimate self-care weekend, designed to optimise health, performance and inner healing.
Friday afternoon: Supercharged wellness at Atlantis The Royal
Begin your rejuvenating weekend at AWAKEN Wellness, the ultra-luxury spa at Atlantis The Royal. Its bespoke Macro Moments packages offer the best of both worlds, combining traditional remedies with modern technologies to enhance wellbeing from the inside out.
Among them, Supercharged Wellness is designed as a half-day well-cation that begins with a mindful movement session of either personal training, yoga or meditation, followed by a two-hour spa package designed to relax and rejuvenate the body. It concludes with a light alfresco meal and access to the spa’s Elements Retreat, the resort pool, and the beach – for complete self-care and restoration.
Friday evening: Signature Sanctum Sequence at SIRO One Za’abeel
For an unmatched workout that combines movement and mindfulness, Sanctum’s Signature Sequence classes integrate kundalini yoga with animalistic flow, primal movement and breathwork, all set to ethereal soundscapes and spoken word delivered to participants through headphones. The result is a multi-sensory journey that transcends traditional fitness and pushes physical, mental and spiritual boundaries.
Saturday wellness
Rejuvenating experiences from day to night
Guerlain meets Michelin at One&Only The Palm
Spend the day at One&Only The Palm, where gastronomy and wellness unite for an exclusive ‘Guerlain Meets Michelin’ ritual. Start with a tailor-made Guerlain Imperial body massage that harnesses the power of Guerlain’s French expertise. It’s paired with a gastronomic three-course lunch at two-Michelin-star STAY by Yannick Alléno. Because sometimes, self-care means indulgence too.
Yoga under the stars at Bab Al Shams
Designed as a space of connection and renewal, timeless regionally inspired practices harmoniously fuse with innovative techniques at Bab Al Shams Spa & Hammam. Embark on a private yoga session led by Bab Al Shams’ wellness guru Meet Chitalia, where holistic healing and spiritual wellbeing are enhanced under the desert sky.
Sunday morning: Sculpt & Float at One&Only One Za’abeel
In the verdant and calm surroundings of the Garden Pool at One&Only One Za’abeel, outdoor fitness sessions take to the water with Beyond Wellness’ Sculpt & Float experiences. The morning begins with a soothing in-water Pilates class, with guests guided through stretching and sculpting movements. After that, a mood-boosting in-water sound bath invites guests to connect with their inner selves while reducing stress and calming the mind. The experience concludes with a wholesome Balinese breakfast at Andaliman.
Sunday afternoon: Glow experience at The Longevity Hub
A collaboration between industry pioneers Clinique La Prairie and One&Only One Za’abeel, treatments and rituals at The Longevity Hub span longevity, wellbeing and aesthetics, combining tailored solutions with transformative science. Among the signature experiences, Glow is made to elevate skin health. The extensive 180-minute treatment begins with an index assessment and expert skin analysis, followed by an invigorating Clinique La Prairie body scrub, a lifting and firming facial, and 15 minutes of facial rejuvenation with the Indiba radiofrequency device.
