Leanne’s Stay At SIRO One Za’abeel

Experiencing Ultimate Wellness at SIRO One Za’Abeel

I was recently invited to experience the newly opened SIRO One Za’Abeel, Dubai’s first fully integrated fitness and recovery hotel. The answer was of course, yes!

After a warm welcome and an easy check-in, we were treated to a delightful lunch at Aelia, nestled within One Za’abeel and offering spectacular views of the Dubai skyline. The menu offered a plethora of delicious options. I opted for the regular menu, but there are specialised dietary and weight loss options available upon request.

After lunch, it was time to try some treatments at the Recovery Lab. My chosen treatments? A 30-minute session of assisted stretching followed by a rejuvenating HIIT facial. The assisted stretching session was a godsend, with the therapist expertly manipulating my muscles to release tension. The HIIT facial invigorated my skin with its firm pressure, promoting blood flow and leaving me feeling completely refreshed.

The next morning kicked off with a delicious breakfast back at Aelia and I couldn’t resist the eggs benedict – one of my favourites! From pancakes to waffles, the breakfast menu offered lots of choice.

At 10:30 am, it was time to break a sweat with a Functional Fitness HIIT class. Designed following AC Milan’s training regimen, this full-body workout pushed our limits with compound exercises and timed intervals. Post-workout, a selection of protein shots were on offer at the refuel bar to aid our recovery.

In the afternoon, it was time for a Yin Yoga session, focusing on deep muscle release and relaxation through long-held poses. The accompanying meditation session was so relaxing, and the perfect end to a busy day.

I couldn’t resist starting my second day with more eggs benedict (highly recommended!). The morning fitness session was Box Fitness, a challenging class that put our aerobic endurance and muscle resistance to the test. Despite the intensity, the trainers were incredibly supportive, offering modifications for individual needs.

At 1:30 pm, it was time for another round of recovery treatments, this time in the form of a UV Bed session. As the bed heated up to 75 degrees, toxins were expelled through sweat, leaving me feeling cleansed and revitalised. A blissful full body massage was my last treatment of the day, it really helped stretch my muscles out from the training and yoga sessions. It was SO great having the exercise and recovery all in one place!

The seamless integration of exercise and recovery at One Za’abeel made for a truly holistic wellness and fitness experience. If you’re looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and embark on a journey to wellness, fitness or recovery, SIRO One Za’abeel is undoubtedly the ultimate destination.
