Detox in Dubai
The Balance Wellness programme at the Anantara The Palm Dubai Resort takes all the guesswork out of getting healthy, providing meals, juices, exercise and even a bit of pampering for three, five or seven days. You’ll speak to a wellness consultant about your goals, whether it’s to sleep better, reduce stress levels, lose weight or just have more energy. They’ll come up with a bespoke plan for you and during the programme you’ll get 90-minute spa treatments, three healthy meals a day (along with juices and herbal infusions), daily fitness sessions including yoga and stretching, and spa access.
