Relish a retreat

Pamper yourself with a holistic food and wellness day

It's one of Dubai's first wellness resorts and, in keeping with its holistic ethos, The Retreat Palm Dubai MGallery by Sofitel is putting the spotlight on vegan cuisine during the Dubai Food Festival. Chef Nrupen will help you master multi-textured superfood salads, pistachio-crusted chickpea patties, and dressings using only the healthiest of ingredients. There will also be a health coach taking you through nutritional benefits of everything you concoct and consume. Those with a sweet tooth will not be disappointed as you indulge in guilt-free desserts and divine detox juices from Rayya Nutri. There will also be meditation and breathing technique classes, colour and aromatherapy sessions, a skin analysis station and giveaways. Best of all, you can finish off your relaxing day with complimentary use of the beach or pool.
