UAE Wellness
Sometimes, I question why I moved to Dubai for a softer life because the city really does play hard in every single arena. With Eid only recently over and the pace of the city (and region) only ever speeding up, I’ve found myself craving calm in more immersive, soulful ways. Luckily, one thing the UAE does not lack is options – and as a Wellness ‘expert’ said loosely of course it’s refreshing to see the region’s wellness scene continues to rise to the occasion.
There’s always that energy to one up the competitor in a healthy way and I love the range of activities available and the interest in inclusivity as well as affordability.
This column is about sharing inclusive ways to enter and rebuild your wellness journey through first-hand accounts and real ratings – whether it’s movement by the waves, the transformative power of breath, community or a massage that quite literally reset my nervous system, these are the moments that moved me this month.

Blended Wellness’ new outpost at W Hotel, Marina is proof that wellness doesn’t have to sacrifice style. With curated treatments and aesthetic touches that truly inspire pause, it’s the kind of space you enter for a facial or a full body-massage and end up staying for the soul reset.

Eforea Spa Treatments at Hilton Dubai Palm
Despite being treated to a review of the new Diamond Facial at Eforea – Hilton Dubai Palm, what I soon discovered was that the only good reason to head to the Palm if you aren’t a tourist is to book a treatment with Mina. This isn’t a service, but a lifeline! Tucked away at Hilton Dubai Palm’s spa, Mina’s massage is one of those rare finds: intuitive, intentional, and utterly transformative. You’ll walk in tense and leave with a spine like silk and all your cares, kneaded away in a serene room, tucked away on the quietest floor of the building.
