Wellness is a huge buzzword these days. But what is wellness? And more importantly, where can you go to truly experience wellness? Dubai is raising the bar on wellness for savvy travelers. Here are three must-see stops on your next wellness destination vacation in the desert.
Bike Safari
There’s a wild world in the desert. Why not experience it firsthand with a bike safari?
Provided by Bab Al Shams Resort, you can experience the desert landscape with a fat bike designed to skim smoothly over the dunes. You’ll follow your tour guide on an adventure that brings the desert up close and personal.
This trip is suited for ages 12 and up and available from 8 AM to 6 PM. Wear casual, respectful clothing suitable for a desert tour and physical activity.
Four Seasons Wellness
Need somewhere to kick off a true wellness journey? The Four Seasons resort at Jumeirah Beach is just the place.
Each morning at 7:30 AM, guests will be awoken gently by sunrise and morning yoga on a sea platform (just don’t neglect your skincare routine before you soak in the sunrise!) From there, the day is yours. You can enjoy an aromatherapy session, indulge in a foot massage, meditate, or kick up the intensity with a HIIT session.
Healthy Mornings
Start the morning right with Healthy Mornings, the fitness class with a difference. Guided by a fully trained personal trainer, surf coach, and lifeguard, you’ll experience combined land and water-based training.
Surfing? Check.
Running? Check.
Paddling? Check.
Lifting? Check.
Sweating? Obviously.
You don’t need any experience to join the class, but you should have a basic knowledge of swimming in order to take part in the water-based activities. When you’re done, make sure to hit up the on-site partner cafe, Single Fin, for a discounted breakfast.
De-Stress Candle Massage by Neom
If you want to unwind after a long day of journeying, head over to the Waldorf Astoria Palm Jumeirah.
The spa features over 3,200 square meters of palatial relaxation space, from massages to a traditional Arabic attar perfumery. But one of the highlights of the experience is their de-stress candle massage by Neom.
The Waldorf Astoria is the only spa in the United Arab Emirates to offer Neom treatments and products, and you’ll be glad they do. The Neom Real Luxury Range, for example, offers a stunning aromatherapy experience crafted from 24 pure essential oils.
