The property is expected to open its doors in 2029.
Dubai is no stranger to pushing boundaries, especially when it comes to hospitality. From the adults-only hotels at The Heart of Europe to the fitness enthusiasts’ favourite SIRO, the emirate has plenty in store. And now the city’s latest reveal is set to raise the bar once again with the introduction of Akala, the world’s very first precision wellness hotel.
Designed to seamlessly blend science, sustainability, and high-end hospitality, Akala Dubai will be located between Downtown Dubai and DIFC, and is expected to open its doors in 2029.
Developed by Arada, Akala Dubai is more than just another upscale address. It’s a lifestyle concept that prioritises well-being in every detail. The property will feature two soaring 220-metre towers, one housing a next-generation hotel, and the other home to 534 branded residences. At the base, the towers will be connected by an integrated wellness podium, featuring state-of-the-art spa, fitness, and medical facilities.
What sets Akala Dubai apart is its data-driven approach to wellness. Every residence, from sleek one-bedrooms to a two-level Observatory penthouse, has been engineered to support physical, emotional, and environmental balance. Expect advanced air and water filtration systems, biophilic design, and smart home tech that allow residents to personalise lighting, sound, and temperature according to their needs. Even the materials used throughout have been carefully chosen for their sustainability and low environmental impact.
Fitness takes centre stage with a high-performance gym, private training pods, an indoor lap pool, and dedicated spaces for cycling and group classes. The Akala Spa features thalassotherapy pools, saunas, hammams, and a fully immersive thermal circuit. There’s also a Wellness Studio for mindfulness and movement, as well as a medical clinic by Everwell, offering tailor-made treatments grounded in cutting-edge health science.
To complement the wellness journey, guests and residents can dine at Akala’s organic restaurant, relax in the private cinema, or connect in thoughtfully designed communal spaces.
With plans to expand across the Middle East and Europe, Akala is a brand that’s redefining what holistic luxury can look like.
