Our second campaign takes us to Dubai - a city full of vibrant energy and unexpected calm. While exploring its dynamic lifestyle, we also found moments of peace in a range of wellness spots.
These five wellness hideaways are worth a visit - whether you're planning a quick spa day or a longer stay focused on well-being.
SAMADHI WELLNESS
Yoga Meets Wellness at Its Best
Samadhi Wellness is a must-visit for anyone looking to blend yoga with wellness in Dubai. This modern day spa features a full range of yoga classes and treatments, plus an on-site café and boutique.
With a sauna, ice bath, and an outdoor pool, Samadhi offers a complete wellness experience in a minimalist, earthy setting. The architecture is sleek and modern but still radiates warmth through natural wood and calming tones.
The center includes two yoga studios:
-
Reflect – Heated with infrared panels, perfect for hot yoga.
-
Connect – A more intimate space for up to 12 participants that opens up into a garden.
Class offerings range from Vinyasa and Flow to Sound Healing, Deep Stretch, and even ladies-only classes.
What We Loved Most
After any yoga class or treatment, guests can enjoy the spa amenities—including the pool, sauna, and cold bath—at no extra cost.
Samadhi is also available as an event venue, though all events must use Samadhi’s own trainers and catering to maintain their standards.

Your first yoga class costs 67 AED (around 17 euros).
