Amidst the hustle and bustle of the city, finding pockets of self-care time is one of the most valuable ways to show up for ourselves. Here are some spots around the city that allow us to make time for wellness and mindfulness. From relaxing yoga classes to intense smashing rooms, Dubai caters to *all* types of self-care.
Here are some of the best ways to practice self-care in Dubai…
Get the ultimate self-care in nature with one of Dubai’s best hikes
Calming landscapes, vitamin D, and breaking a sweat are the ultimate self-care components. The UAE has some beautiful hiking spots for all abilities, with many of them only a short drive from Dubai. Grab your gear and head to the mountains to clear your head and reconnect with nature. This is a great way to escape the noise of the city for a while and have some time with your thoughts as you traverse the peaceful trails of some of the UAE’s most incredible landscapes.
The Smash Room
Have a lot on your mind? Feeling stressed at work? Angry at the world? Look no further than Dubai’s *ultimate* stress reliever – The Smash Rooms. This fun, no-judgment zone is quite literally a room where you can smash stuff. This venue really lets you indulge in the ultimate satisfaction of a therapeutic smash, leaving you feeling happier, satisfied, and much more relaxed. Self-care by smashing – sign us up!
What you smash depends on which package you select, if you fancy the ‘smash n dash’ package you will receive 15 glasses and 1 electronic item to smash (for Dhs197), or if you’ve really got some anger you need to get out go for the ‘big bang’ with 20 glass items and 2 electronic pieces (for Dhs249). You can book rooms with your friends too so you can all get your smash on together!
