The Retreat Palm Dubai MGallery signs new wellness MOU
The Retreat Palm Dubai MGallery by Sofitel has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the German Medical Wellness Association as part of its bid to become the region’s first holistic wellbeing resort.
The new collaboration follows the recent partnership forged between the resort and Dubai Health Authority (DHA).
The MoU was signed in the presence of German Medical Wellness Association president Lutz Lungwitz and the resort’s director of sales and marketing Vanessa Waldow. The property, which aims to become the first “holistic wellbeing” resort in the Middle East is opening in September 2017.
Introducing the Rayya Wellness Center, the resort intends to offer 360-degree “holistic wellness” solutions, enabling guests to choose from a variety of all-inclusive retreat packages. Rayya Fitness will feature a gym, tennis court and yoga rooms whilst Rayya Spa will feature an array of wellbeing therapies and spa treatments using organic products.
According to a statement from the resort, wellness tourism is projected to grow by more than 9 per cent by the end of 2017, nearly 50 per cent faster than overall global tourism.
