      SIRO’s in-house nutritionist shares how to stay fit this summer

      by

      SIRO One Za’abeel’s in-house nutritionist, Heeral Shivnani, shares her top tips for gut health prep for summer travel.
      Talk us through your background.
      I am a clinical dietitian specialising in gut health and hormonal imbalances, helping clients uncover the root causes of symptoms like bloating, irregular bowel syndrome (IBS), irregular menstrual cycles, and stubborn weight gain. With a science-backed yet holistic approach, I blend functional nutrition with lifestyle strategies to restore balance, improve digestion, and support long-term wellness. My practice focuses on empowering individuals to understand their bodies better and make sustainable changes that truly transform how they feel day-to-day.
      What are some of the tips to keep your gut health during summer, especially when travelling?
      Summer travel often means changes in routine, diet, and hydration – each of which can impact your gut. To support digestive health on the go, stay hydrated, especially in hotter climates, as water helps keep digestion smooth and prevents constipation. Place emphasis on room temperature and warm beverages, such as herbal teas. Eat fermented foods like yogurt, kefir, kanji, sourdough bread, or pickled vegetables whenever possible – they naturally replenish beneficial bacteria. Pack a travel-friendly probiotic, especially if you’re exploring new cuisines or regions where food hygiene might vary, and you may or may not have access to the above. Maintain regular mealtimes to avoid overeating at night and disrupting your gut’s circadian rhythm. Choose fibre-rich snacks like roasted chickpeas, or trail mixes with roasted seeds and dried fruit such as figs, raisins and dates to keep your microbiome fed while in transit. You’ve mentioned the benefits of intermittent fasting.
      How does this practice support gut health?
      Intermittent fasting can give the digestive system a much-needed break, supporting gut health in several ways. During the fasting window, a process called the migrating motor complex (MMC) becomes active – it acts like a housekeeping wave, clearing out leftover food particles and bacteria, which helps reduce bloating and supports a balanced gut microbiome. For women, it’s especially important to fast in a gentle and sustainable way. Extended fasts can disrupt hormones and increase stress in some individuals. Most women benefit from a fasting window of 12 to 14 hours, rather than longer durations. For example, finishing dinner by 7:30 PM and having breakfast around 8:00 AM the next day gives the gut time to rest and reset without over stressing the system. When practiced mindfully, intermittent fasting can reduce gut inflammation, support metabolic health, and improve the efficiency of digestion – all while aligning with the body’s natural circadian rhythm.

      How do mental and emotional health intersect with physical wellness, especially during the summer months when routines may change?
      Our gut and brain are in constant conversation via the gut-brain axis. When summer disrupts your usual structure – whether due to travel, social events, or sleep shifts – emotions like anxiety or overstimulation can manifest physically as bloating, altered bowel habits, or cravings. Prioritising mindfulness, getting sunlight in the morning, journaling, or even just grounding barefoot in nature can help re-center your nervous system and support overall wellness from the inside out. During summer, what dietary adjustments do you recommend to optimise energy levels and support a healthy physique? Focus on light, hydrating, and seasonal foods. So, start your day with warm water and a pinch of natural mineral-rich salt (like pink Himalayan or sea salt) for improved cellular hydration. Add cooling herbs and spices to meals or as a tea – a delightful blend is fennel, coriander, cumin and dried rose petals. Choose water-rich vegetables (cucumber, zucchini, lettuce) and fruit (watermelon, berries, papaya) to reduce internal heat. Prioritise protein and healthy fats at each meal to sustain energy without blood sugar dips. Avoid excessive caffeine or alcohol, which can dehydrate and burden the gut-liver axis. Focus on fresh coconut water, flavoured sparkling water or kombucha as alternative beverages.
      You’ve shared your personal health challenges and triumphs. How did addressing gut health specifically contribute to your overall wellness transformation?
      Healing my gut was like lifting a veil – suddenly,I had more energy, mental clarity, and emotional stability. I struggled with fatigue, skin flare-ups, and digestive discomfort for years, which I once thought were unrelated. But once I focused on restoring microbial diversity, reducing inflammatory foods, and nourishingmyself with Ayurvedic principles, my entire system recalibrated, and I was able to do so much more. It wasn’t just about digestion – it was about reclaiming vitality and peace from within.
      What final piece of advice would you offer to those looking to embrace a healthier lifestyle while enjoying the pleasures of life?
      Health shouldn’t feel like punishment – it should feel like support. Instead of restriction, think of addition: add movement, colour, laughter, herbs, rituals, and rest. And when you indulge – do it mindfully and joyfully. The body is resilient and wise; when you listen to its signals, you can live well and live fully.

      With the plethora of probiotic options available, how can one select the right supplement to support gut health, and what role do they play in digestion and immunity?
      Not all probiotics are created equal. Look for a multi-strain formula with clinically studied strains like Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG or Bifidobacterium longum. The strain should match your need – some help with bloating and constipation, others with immunity or mood. Make sure the label specifies CFU (colony-forming units) at the time of expiry, not just at manufacture, so you’re getting what you paid for. Third-party certifications: Look for seals like NSF, USP, or GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices). These indicate the product has been tested independently for quality, purity, and accuracy of labelling. Supplements are not regulated like medications, so third-party verification is essential to avoid ineffective or contaminated products. Probiotics support digestion by aiding nutrient absorption and keeping pathogenic bacteria in check. They also modulate immune responses and help maintain the gut barrier – your body’s frontline defense system.
      What is your non-negotiable when it comes to your self-care routine?
      Morning stillness. Whether it’s breath work, sipping my herbal tea in silence, or stepping outside barefoot, it grounds me before the world gets loud. That pocket of intentional calm gives my body a sense of safety, which I believe is the ultimate foundation for wellness. Moreover, making time to eat a balanced breakfast can be a key part of the safety mindset. A pot of oats or yoghurt doesn’t quite cut it for me personally, and we all know that enjoying a proper spread is a luxury. Hence, I’d rather wake up early to enjoy a slow breakfast at home than a rushed one at my desk.

      9 chic fashion beach club takeovers to visit this summer 2025

      by

      Make this summer its most chic yet. From the South of France to the Aegean coast of Turkey, here are 9 luxury fashion beach club takeovers to visit this summer 2025.
      The biggest names in luxury fashion continue to take over beach clubs around the world this summer season. A fusion of luxury and leisure, these iconic names, both in the fashion and hospitality industries, are redefining summer indulgence.
      Here, Emirates Woman rounds up the places to see and be seen in, with each takeover presenting an opportunity to relax and explore the brand’s heritage through an unparalleled experience.
      Dior at Il Riccio Capri – Capri, Italy
      Set over the Blue Grotto, the exclusive Dior terrace at this cliffside seafood restaurant Il Riccio Capri gets a fresh makeover each year adorned with the French maison’s iconic signature details, offering guests at Jumeirah Capri Palace a taste of Capri‘s delights – think: spaghettoni pasta and rich tiramisu.

      Dolce&Gabbana at Clap House Ibiza – Ibiza, Spain
      The world-class dining venue, offering contemporary Japanese cuisine, on the White Isle, plays host to one of Dolce&Gabbana’s exclusive takeovers for 2025. Located in the Talamanca area, Dolce&Gabbana unconventionally reinterprets the iconic Leopard print, as it adorns the beach club’s furnishings, establishing an atmosphere that is both elegant and fierce. For the occasion, an exclusive pop-up store offers a selection of Dolce&Gabbana clothing and accessories for an authentic Italian summer experience.

      Jacquemus at Monte-Carlo Beach – Cap-Martin, France
      No one does a chic beach club takeover like Simon Porter. The French fashion label has taken its Riviera spirit to the iconic seaside club, the Monte-Carlo Beach Club, until October 7, 2025. For this partnership, the legendary pier and pool café has been transformed with playful touches of Jacquemus’s signature aesthetic, inspired by the “La Croisière” collection, and has set up two pop-up boutiques for serious shopping sessions.

      Loro Piana at Reserve a la Plage – Saint Tropez, France
      Italian luxury fashion brand, Loro Piana, is bringing its sophisticated touch to La Réserve à la Plage for the third consecutive year, offering a sublime sun-drenched experience along Pampelonne Beach. The beach club is decked with the brand’s signature earthy tones and motifs from the umbrellas, sunbeds, and cushions, while a pop-up boutique features a curated selection of ready-to-wear clothing and accessories inspired by the Venetian Lagoon from the Resort 2025 collection.

      Burberry at The Standard, Ibiza – Ibiza, Spain
      Open until October 2025, Burberry collaborates with The Standard, Ibiza, for a joyful takeover of the hotel’s seasonal rooftop bar and restaurant, UP. Blending style, escapism, and an unmistakable British attitude, custom design takes over UP with loungers, parasols, and branded seating – and even sails the coast on Check Mate, a Burberry boat making waves along the Ibiza shoreline.
      Inside, a branded photo booth in the lobby invites guests to capture their summer in style, and guests can enjoy a curated edit of summer staples for those who are in the mood to shop – from lightweight layers to sun-ready separates grounded in Burberry house codes.

      Missoni Resort Club at OKU Ibiza – Ibiza, Spain
      Located within the renowned OKU Ibiza, an iconic hotel destination on the island, the Missoni Resort Club brings the Italian fashion house’s signature technicolour aesthetic to one of the island’s most buzzed-about hotspots. The hotel’s 50-metre swimming pool has been transformed into a vibrant destination inspired by the Mediterranean seascape, and the setting is further enhanced by custom-designed sunbeds, towels, and soft furnishings, creating a refined poolside atmosphere that captures the laidback, free-spirited nature of the island.

      Jacquemus at Jondal – Ibiza, Spain
      Set along the crystalline coastline, the loved locale becomes the canvas for Jacquemus. Re-designed and meticulously branded, Jondal embodies the Provençal DNA of the French fashion label. Sunbeds, parasols, cushions, towels, and other decorative items – including a bespoke petanque court – are decked in a colour palette of soft yellow, terracotta, and sandy neutrals and adorned with signature elements from the “La Croisière” collection. For some leisure island hopping, the charming on-site pop-up boutique houses a limited-edition capsule collection, featuring selections for women, men, and accessories in exclusive colourways and prints.

      Alo Yoga at Mandarin Oriental, Bodrum – Bodrum, Turkey
      Mandarin Oriental’s Blue Beach has been transformed into a summer haven that any wellness enthusiast will love to be seen in this summer. At the Alo Beach Club, guests can enjoy exclusive wellness activations including sunrise yoga, sound healing, meditation, and more with sweeping views of the Aegean Sea, shop in the 700 square-foot boutique, and lounge on Alo-decked sunbeds as you get your dose of vitamin D with Alo-branded coconut in hand – offering the full Alo lifestyle this summer.

      Dolce&Gabbana at San Domenico Palace, Taormina, A Four Seasons Hotel – Taormina, Italy
      The exclusive DG Resort creative takeover and pop-up store is located in the heart of the former monastery, bringing its unmistakable aesthetic to one of the most iconic locations on the eastern Sicilian coast. After the success of previous summer seasons, Dolce&Gabbana once again enhances its splendour with a Blu Mediterraneo-themed design that evokes the opulence of Sicilian ceramics, decorating the entire infinity pool area overlooking the sea and its terrace. Completing the experience is the exclusive pop-up boutique offering a selection of Dolce&Gabbana clothing and accessories, including a special collection of exclusive creations designed specifically for this location, featuring a new print that celebrates its most distinctive views.

      Jacquemus beckons you to Mykonos for the ultimate fashion-infused summer retreat

      As the Mediterranean sun reaches its glory, Jacquemus unveils the season’s most coveted fashion destination: a breezy, blue-hued boutique nestled along the powder-white sands of Nammos Beach in Mykonos.
      More than a mere retail space, this temporary installation—open through summer’s end—represents the perfect confluence of high fashion and idyllic escapism, offering travelers a compelling reason to journey to Greece’s most glamorous island.

      The collaboration with legendary beach club Nammos Village positions this pop-up as the centerpiece of Mykonos’ summer social scene. Designed as a contemporary take on traditional Greek kiosks, the structure’s vibrant azure facade mirrors the Aegean Sea, while inside, an exclusive capsule collection captures the essence of Jacquemus’ sun-drenched aesthetic. Lightweight raffia separates, bias-cut silk dresses, and minimalist leather sandals compose a wardrobe made for leisurely lunches at Scorpios and golden-hour cocktails at Alemagou. Each piece serves as both souvenir and sartorial statement—the kind that only gains meaning when worn against Mykonos’ iconic backdrop of whitewashed windmills and cobalt-domed chapels.
      What elevates this experience beyond typical holiday shopping is its deliberate immersion in the Nammos ecosystem. Guests can transition seamlessly from browsing the boutique’s curated offerings to securing a coveted daybed at the beach club, where the boundaries between retail therapy and relaxation dissolve. The collection itself—available only at this location—includes special-edition pieces featuring custom Grecian motifs, ensuring visitors return home with more than just memories.

      For the fashion-conscious traveler, this collaboration presents a rare opportunity to align one’s itinerary with the industry’s most discerning tastes. The boutique operates on island time (daily from 11 AM until sunset), encouraging visitors to embrace the slow rhythm of Greek summer while indulging in retail moments as carefully composed as their Instagram feeds.
      Practicalities underscore the pop-up’s exclusivity: no reservations are required, but Nammos’ VIP hosts can arrange private viewings for those who prefer to shop away from the midday crowds. With direct flights from major European hubs and Mykonos’ reputation as the summer’s most dynamic social stage, Jacquemus’ latest venture offers the ultimate justification for a stylish Mediterranean getaway.
      In a season saturated with pop-ups, this one stands apart for ability to crystallize the very essence of summer longing. After all, true luxury lies in experiences that linger long after the tan fades.
