Find rest and rejuvenation this new year at Wellness Sanctuary Meliá

As the new year begins, Meliá Desert Palm—a serene wellness oasis set within a sprawling 64-hectare polo estate—is inviting guests to embark on a transformative journey of renewal through a series of curated packages designed to rejuvenate mind, body, and soul.

Located just 20 minutes away from the hustle and bustle of Downtown Dubai, the resort promises to set the perfect tone for a year of well-being and vitality, with a nutrient-rich wellness menu complemented with restorative day retreats and spa treatments for the ultimate New Year’s nourishment.

The Wellness Menu Package

Priced at AED 750 per person, this curated culinary package promises indulgence with a feel-good twist, from the moment of arrival to check-out.

Upon arrival, guests are welcomed with a refreshing mint shooter and delightful bites, including a hearty granola tart with wild berries, poached salmon, and steamed beetroot mousse on multigrain bread.

Dinner unfolds at the resort’s signature steakhouse, featuring a wholesome set menu, including dishes such as Charred Grilled Artichoke, Cauliflower Steak, and Baked Seabass with fennel purée, followed by guilt-free sweet indulgences.

For breakfast, a decadent spread served in the privacy of your villa awaits, or guests can alternatively head to Epicure, the resort’s newly refurbished Mediterranean-inspired all-day dining restaurant. Here, fresh Levantine and Mediterranean flavours shine, with gluten-free options like Avocado Toast, Buckwheat Waffles with Chia Berry Compote, and Broken Wheat Jaggery Porridge.

To complete this rejuvenating wellness journey, guests can savour an alfresco lunch by the resort’s stunning infinity pool at EPICURE before check-out. Choose from flavourful options like Baby Cornfed Chicken or Zucchini Spaghetti Pasta, followed by a delightful dessert—a perfect finale to this indulgent escape.

Healthy beverages take centre stage throughout the dining experience, starting with Moon Milk infused with ashwagandha, turmeric, and cinnamon for breakfast. Throughout the day, indulge in detoxifying options like a creamy spinach and matcha smoothie with cashews or the calming embrace of oolong herbal tea. Each sip is thoughtfully crafted to nourish, rejuvenate, and elevate guest’s wellness journey.

Samana Spa Day Retreats

Guests can further elevate their wellness journey at Samana Spa, a serene sanctuary at Meliá Desert Palm that harmoniously blends ancient traditions with modern techniques.
