Dubai is a city of endless possibilities, a place where luxury meets adventure, where serenity coexists with vibrancy. And at the heart of this dazzling metropolis, Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach offers the ultimate luxury playground, a utopian oasis that blends the tranquillity of a private beachfront with the energy of the city. Here, guests can shape their own Dubai experience, Dubai Is Yours is the resort’s invitation to do just that, to design your own perfect stay, choosing from three curated itinerary themes. House of Coco Wellness Editor, Anji McGrandles was invited to try a wellbeing weekend that prioritised relaxation, rejuvenation, and holistic healing, all while ensconced in the stunning surroundings of the hotel.

A Wellness Sanctuary

From the moment I arrived, it was clear that my stay would be unlike any other. My Wellbeing Weekend was designed to restore balance, incorporating a series of carefully curated treatments and relaxation rituals with a side serving of indulgence.

I checked in to find I had been upgraded to one of the hotels suites.  Spacious and well-designed, it featured clean lines, crisp white linens, and soft grey furnishings, along with a wrap-around balcony offering stunning views of the beach and Dubai’s iconic skyline. The suite included a large bedroom, an elegant lounge area, and a walk-in wardrobe, a well-stocked mini bar, and Nespresso machine. The main bathroom was a sanctuary, boasting a walk-in shower, a free-standing bath, and a large marble his and hers sink, providing the perfect space to unwind after a day of indulgence. Further along the hall was an additional powder room with toilet and shower.

As part of the Dubai Is Yours package, I was treated to some incredible personal touches, like a plush dressing gown and beach bag embroidered with my initials and a sleep turn-down service.  I came back from dinner on my first night to find a Morphée sleep device, a soothing sleep spray, and sleep patches, all designed to ensure a night of deep, uninterrupted rest.

The Dubai is Yours Programme

There are three themes you can build your stay around.  While my focus was on wellness, Dubai Is Yours offers three distinctive themes, each catering to different tastes and travel style:

Tropical Altitude, based around resort life you can indulge in a champagne breakfast, cocktail making class, a poolside nap experience, moonlight massage and swim and a picnic on your own private beach.

Life of the City, designed for those looking for a cosmopolitan escape. Think private rooftop soirées, personalised shopping excursions with a stylist, and access to Dubai’s most elite nightlife and fine dining venues.

Secrets of the City is the insider guide for those wanting to discover the local gems. Expect an experience steeped in tradition, offering guided tours through Old Dubai, visits to local art galleries and museums, a local oyster experience, and street food tour.

My stay was based on Tropical Altitude but tweaked to ensure I got a good dose of wellness.

I started my weekend stay with a floating sound bath that set the tone for the rest of my trip.  The combination of water, vibration, and sound therapy soon transported me into a meditative state, washing away any stress and leaving me totally relaxed.

Four Seasons Dubai has truly elevated the art of sleep, offering experiences designed to reset the body and mind. I arrived tired and in need of a reset. The team arranged for me to try their unique Sleep Ritual and Poolside Nap Experience. Both incorporate massage, breath technique, and a calming tea ritual, setting the mood for unwinding. 

The Poolside Nap Experience is hands down the best spa treatment I’ve had. This 60-minute experience is designed for the ultimate midday recharge delivered in your own private cabana or villa by the pool. With a headset playing out soothing sounds and eye mask to block out distractions, I enjoyed a 30-minute scalp and foot massage. Once the massage was over, I was left to rest in peaceful serenity in my private poolside villa, enveloped in the warm Dubai sun. I drifted off without even realising, and when I woke up, I felt refreshed and energised.

My journey continued with a crystal healing session, where an expert energy healer worked with specific stones to realign my chakras, promoting both emotional and physical balance.

But the real showstopper was my White Lotus Poolside Experience, a dreamy retreat inspired by the hit TV show, which has been filmed at Four Seasons properties around the world. I had a taste of White Lotus luxury with my own private poolside villa that had everything I needed for relaxing day by the pool including a plush lounge area, an outdoor rain shower, bathroom, and a secluded sun trap perfect for soaking up Dubai’s golden rays in total privacy. I settled in with my book and throughout the day was treated to an endless flow of drinks, gourmet bites, and chilled fruit platters delivered straight to my sunbed.

Dining Tailored to Your Taste

One of the most impressive elements of Dubai Is Yours is the culinary experience. With a selection of fabulous restaurants as well as curated menus that align with your chosen theme, there’s a plethora of choice. Guests can adapt their gastronomic journey accordingly but expect private dining experiences, sleep aiding nutrition, and tables at the city’s hottest dining spots.
