    If you’re looking for a 360-degree wellness hub, this new spot in Dubai is where you need to book in ASAP.
    The new integrated multi-wellness destination, Blended, combines fitness with a host of pampering options, making it a one-stop for all your self-care needs.
    Founded by Dominique Laird, the concept began with her vision to redefine the meaning of beauty standards in the region. After addressing her own mental health issues, Laird wanted to create a space where individuals can feel at home and focus on improving their own self-care needs.
    For women to look and feel their best, Blended Salon has dedicated an area for an all-encompassing beauty experience. Be it an eyelash lift or a bespoke blowout, there’s an unending list of treatments that can help visitors feel camera ready at any given point of the day.
    With a more medical approach to aesthetics, this venue offers an extensive array of cutting-edge treatments such as botox, fillers, threads, or even an IV Drip to boost energy levels. With a team of highly experienced experts, Blended Aesthetics has joined hands with Beverly Hills Wellness and Aesthetics for a holistic approach to cosmetics.

    To uplift your mood, the Blended Spa offers a host of rejuvenating treatments in a serene environment. With four treatment rooms, guests can enjoy an organic facial, massage, salt therapy, scrub or wrap in the hands of well-equipped experts. For after-care services, luxe facilities such as the salt cave, sauna and plunge pool are open for use to feel at ease during any visit.
    To recover from within, meditation is given a new meaning by internationally trained life coaches, therapists and spiritual guides who explore the options of both couples and one-on-one sessions, to feel clear from the inside out.

    If you want to focus on your fitness goals, this professional environment offers personal training sessions and group classes for workouts such as yoga, Pilates, or spinning. By changing the norm from a one-size-fits-all approach, guests can choose a routine that best fits their health needs.

    For a post-workout recovery mode, customers can replenish their fuel with a juice, coffee or protein shake from the Blended juice bar, to ensure every aspect of all the fitness routines is taken care of.
    With a complete approach to any wellness needs, visitors can feel at home from the second they enter this haven. Without having to book appointments in different locations, this all-inclusive experience saves both time and planning.
    Situated in the luxe surroundings of The Dukes, The Palm Jumeirah, Blended Fit is open daily from 6am to 10pm and the salon, barbers and spa is open from 10 am to 10pm.
