When in Dubai, one will be handed plenty of opportunities to go sightseeing and engage in leisure travel. However, for the wellness-minded, the city affords quite the experience indeed.
Abbreviated as 'SUP,' a stand-up paddleboarding session at the delightfully appointed DRIFT Beach Club will be quite the welcome you need from a wellness point of view. Guaranteed to keep you in top shape and condition, one's time here will be made up of fun-filled exercises and resistance bands that will soon lead out to you tasked with having to remain afloat over a temperature-controlled swimming pool.
Embark on a riveting journey where scenes of The Palm will be before you, coaxing you into a deeper sense of relaxation and bliss. In short, investing in a yoga class at AURA Skypool will be the perfect tonic you need at the beginning of the day. Rated as the highest infinity pool in the world, the AURA Skypool is where 60-minute yoga sessions merge outstandingly well with hearty breakfast spreads that encompass avocado toast and acai bows that can be washed down with a choice of tea or coffee. Plus, all this is for a price of 260 Dirhams! One surely does not need to think twice.
Embrace a sense of renewed vigour and fulfilment when at the Anantara Spa where Turkish hammam rituals and a series of detox treatments mingle for the betterment of the wellness vacationer. Set yourself for complete relaxation and peace as you give yourself over to therapeutic professionals who will see to it that your best intentions are taken care of. Avail of such facilities by choosing to stay at Anantara The Palm Dubai Resort which has its selection of Palm Jumeirah restaurants to retire to.
If you ever thought yoga, pilates, and a range of therapeutic healing workshops complete with an all-vegan menu devoid of any trace of gluten could never see the light of day, then you've probably not heard of what you can achieve when at the serene Life'n One Wellbeing Center. This charming and tiny garden café will afford you your daily dose of 'healthy' should you be thinking of a visit anytime soon.
The perfect playground to aid one's mental and physical wellbeing, a few hours spent at Paus will have you in your element and in a good mood to take on all that this global metropolis boasts of. A Somatic Moving Meditation class will ensure that all small muscle groups are given a good old working over with numerous brain exercises included. Before your time is done here, make a beeline in the direction of the in-house café where a slice of tasty cake and a cuppa coffee can be indulged in.
For the ladies wanting to be cocooned by their own little holiday, why not head over to the Kempinski Hotel Mall of the Emirates? Once here and after having pocketed out a sum of 295 Dirhams, one will be treated to the ultimate pampering with a scrumptious afternoon tea treat following soon after you've completed a spa session. This marvellous experience is put together by both SENSASIA Stories Spa and the Aspen Lobby Lounge respectively.
Take pleasure in a much-sought healing session, meditation or yoga that can be enjoyed while seated on the dunes at The Lighthouse Retreat, Ras Al Khaimah. Situated 45 minutes from Dubai and well away from any distractions, travellers like you can expect a refreshing escape filled to the brim with awe-inspiring scenes and beneficial activities to join in.
