Leading voices from across the wellness sector convened at the luxurious Raffles The Palm for the World SPA & Wellness Convention: Initiative. The strategic gathering brought together top professionals to reflect, collaborate, and chart the course for the wellness landscape of 2025 and 2026.
Forecasting the future of wellness
Industry leaders engaged in dynamic discussions around shifting client needs and emerging trends. A standout moment came from Dr. Ljudmila, who introduced a thought-provoking Quantum approach to emotional wellbeing, stress, and burnout. The session highlighted the increasing importance of mental and emotional health in wellness programming.
Attendees also received complimentary bio-resonance diagnostics, signaling the growing demand for personalized, data-driven wellness services.
Longevity and Biohacking move into the mainstream
Longevity and biohacking took center stage, no longer seen as niche movements but as key pillars of modern wellness. Despite rising interest, many professionals pointed to internal bureaucratic hurdles as barriers to implementation. A proposed solution involved engaging senior decision-makers directly in wellness experiences to build firsthand understanding and support.
Reconnecting with nature in urban settings
Participants also explored strategies to restore the human connection with nature—especially critical in urban environments like Dubai. A consensus emerged around leveraging technology to create immersive, nature-inspired wellness environments that offer real benefits even in densely developed areas.
Preparing for the Global Wellness Summit
In anticipation of the Global Wellness Summit in October 2025, participants committed to launching coordinated, yet distinct, wellness promotions. The goal: showcase Dubai’s innovation and leadership through a unified “Dubai Wellness Experience.” Tajana will lead the coordination and present the initiative to the Summit’s organizing team.
Innovation, Education, and Awareness
Wellness providers are responding to consumer demand with advanced technologies, individualized care protocols, and community-focused educational events. However, bridging the knowledge gap among stakeholders remains an ongoing challenge. The group emphasized the need for continued advocacy and visibility at executive levels.
Reflecting on past success
The event also included a review of the World SPA & Wellness Convention held in February 2025. Participants shared key takeaways and offered input for the 2026 edition. Andy Green encouraged attendees to submit topic suggestions to keep future content timely and impactful.
The rise of wellness real estate
A growing focus was placed on wellness real estate—identified as both a major opportunity and a potential disruptor to traditional wellness centers. The group agreed on a strategic vision: position Dubai not only as a regional leader but as a global wellness destination. The emphasis must shift from local competition to international appeal.
