Although the United Arab Emirates is most often associated as being the go-to location for a spot of serious indulgence, it is also making waves in the wellness world too. The city of Dubai is becoming renowned as a world-class wellness destination, and other emirates such as Ras-Al-Khaimah are hot on its tail.

United Arab Emirates wellness holidays are an ideal choice thanks to the region’s sunny climate, countless sandy beaches, and almost zero annual rainfall. Our hand-picked WellStayed properties offer a variety of holistic treatments and a wellness holiday in the United Arab Emirates is sure to restore you to your full glory.

The first dedicated destination spa in the United Arab Emirates is The Retreat Palm Dubai – located as the name suggests – on the Palm in the emirate of Dubai. Looking out of the glittering Arabian Gulf, this wellness retreat offers a variety of programs to suit all, with detox and weight-loss being its speciality. It is also renowned for its cuisine, with its restaurants serving a selection of healthy meals made using local produce, such as camel’s milk, and only the best organic ingredients for nearby farms.

Of all the United Arab Emirates wellness holidays out there, a stay in the emirate of Ras-al-Khamiah at The Lighthouse Retreat is surely the most unique, with an Arabian nights meets vegan seaside wellness vibe. At this rustic retreat, guests enjoy individualised plant-based food programs devised for them by the in-house wellness coach, and a range of fitness classes and activities including yoga (which can be done on the beach!), paddle-boarding, and hiking in the surrounding countryside. To cap it off, there is access to the spa, reiki and sound healing on offer.
