Dubai is a city that thrives on energy, ambition and indulgence — but when the summer heat soars, it’s also a place where wellness takes centre stage. From invigorating outdoor adventures to serene spa escapes and mindful moments under the stars, July’s wellness calendar in Dubai is packed with experiences designed to refresh, inspire and rejuvenate both body and soul.
Whether you’re seeking a sunrise stretch with sweeping city views, a snow-covered morning hike, or a sound healing session surrounded by marine life, Dubai offers a sanctuary for every kind of wellness lover. Here’s your insider guide to the most exciting and soulful wellness experiences you won’t want to miss this month.
Enrol in a Summer Mall Run
Indoor runs have become a staple in Dubai’s wellness scene during the warmer months, and this July, the Summer Mall Run is back at Ibn Battuta Mall. On 13 July, lace up your trainers and join fellow fitness enthusiasts for a unique jog through the air-conditioned ground floor of one of Dubai’s most iconic malls.
Runners can weave through the corridors, past popular shops and cafés, choosing their own pace and distance. It’s a refreshing way to stay active while avoiding the heat, and the atmosphere is always buzzing with energy.
Join a Coffee and Wellness Gathering
If your perfect wellness day includes mindful conversation, soothing music and soul-nourishing beverages, this is for you. Sohum Wellness Sanctuary, in collaboration with the Upaya Festival, is hosting a wellness and coffee celebration every Saturday from 4pm to 7pm.
Picture this: a serene sanctuary in the heart of Al Quoz, the scent of freshly brewed matcha and specialty coffee filling the air, and the steady beat of Afro and techno house lifting your mood. Add in complimentary healing activities and you’ve got a relaxed, feel-good evening that leaves you uplifted, recharged and connected to a like-minded community.
Play Padel and Indulge in a Wholesome Brunch
At The Lob, wellness meets play in the form of padel tennis — a social, high-energy sport inspired by Mexico’s vibrant padel culture. From Monday to Thursday between 12pm and 5pm, guests can book a 90-minute padel game followed by a nutritious brunch.
Expect a menu of light, clean dishes curated by Chef Silvena at The Dose Café. It’s an ideal midday reset where you can work up a sweat, laugh with friends and then refuel in style.
Take a Morning Hike in the Snow
Looking for a way to cool off and boost your daily step count? Ski Dubai is offering morning hikes up its snow-covered slopes from Monday to Friday, 8am to 10am, and on weekends from 7am to 9am.
Bundle up in provided snow gear, breathe in the icy air, and enjoy the novelty of trekking through snow while it’s 40 degrees outside. The experience finishes with a hearty breakfast, making it a playful and invigorating way to start your day.
Discover Pickleball by the Beach
Every Thursday evening from 7pm to 10pm, La Cantine Beach on Bluewaters Island hosts open-play pickleball sessions in collaboration with Dubai’s Picklers community.
The sessions are free to join, professionally guided and perfect for players of all levels. Stay for the post-game social vibe with food, drinks, or a rejuvenating night swim. It’s a fantastic way to wind down the week, meet new people and get moving.
Awaken with Sunrise Yoga at FIVE Luxe
Start your mornings the mindful way with a revitalising FLOW yoga class at ReFIVE Spa at FIVE LUXE, located in Jumeirah Beach Residence. Held from Monday to Saturday at 6:30am, these sessions are designed to clear your mind, stretch your body and set a positive tone for the day ahead.
Post-session, guests can unwind in the serene indoor spa pool — the perfect complement to your morning wellness ritual.
Treat Yourself to a Guilt-Free Afternoon Tea
Wellness can also mean indulging in life’s pleasures — just the healthier kind. The Four Seasons Hotel DIFC has introduced a sugar-free afternoon tea experience at Penrose Lounge, with treats made from natural sugar alternatives like coconut sugar and date sugar.
Expect elegant desserts like choux filled with rich chocolate cream and topped with crunchy cocoa nibs, and date cake encased in silky ganache. Served daily from 2pm to 6pm, it’s an experience that proves indulgence and wellbeing can absolutely go hand in hand.
Float and Meditate Under the Stars
On 2, 16 and 30 July, Beyond Wellness invites you to a unique floating sound session at One&Only Royal Mirage. Set amid lush gardens and tranquil waters, participants float on inflatable pillows surrounded by candlelight while being guided through a soothing meditative journey.
Singing bowls and healing frequencies fill the air as you release tension and find your centre. Stay after for light bites or a calming night swim. It’s pure magic.
Water Yoga at AURA Skypool
Start your week on a literal high with water yoga at AURA Skypool, perched 50 floors above Palm Jumeirah. Every Monday at 8am, this refreshing class focuses on building flexibility, reducing stress and enjoying the cool, supportive water as you gaze out over the city and the sea.
The experience includes breakfast, a wellness shot and a branded water bottle, making it a wholesome and invigorating way to kick off your week.
Beachfront Yoga at African Queen
Few things compare to stretching out on the sand with the sound of waves in the background. Every Tuesday and Saturday at 9am, African Queen at J1 Beach hosts beachfront yoga sessions followed by a wholesome breakfast of fresh, coastal flavours.
On Tuesdays, guests can book a sunbed for the day, turning a mindful morning into a full day of beachside bliss.
Sunrise Yoga with a View
Every Saturday at 7am, wellness lovers gather at Alto54 rooftop at Address Sky View for a revitalising yoga session in collaboration with TOPSTRETCHING.
Practise your flow while watching the city awaken around you, balancing movement and breath in the most inspiring of settings. It’s a community event designed to connect people and foster wellbeing from the very first rays of sunlight.
Massage and Lunch Combo at Blended Wellness

Priced from AED595, this indulgent package also includes a traditional tea ceremony and relaxation time in the serene Himalayan salt cave. It’s an ideal wellness treat to reset your mind and body midweek.
Underwater Wellness at Atlantis
At Atlantis, The Palm, wellness takes on a surreal new dimension. Every weekend, The Lost Chambers Aquarium hosts hatha yoga and sound healing meditation sessions surrounded by 65,000 marine creatures.
It’s a deeply calming, almost otherworldly experience where you can practise mindfulness while watching stingrays, sharks and colourful fish glide by. And when the session’s done, you can enjoy complimentary access to the aquarium for a little extra serenity.
Paddleboarding and Ice Baths on Sundays
Start your Sunday on a high note at The Byron Bathers Club on Palm Jumeirah. At 7:30am, guests can join a guided stand-up paddleboarding session in the calm Palm Jumeirah Cove, followed by a 9am ice bath and healthy breakfast.
The paddle takes you around Princess Island with moments to pause, take in the view, and feel the sun on your skin. It’s the perfect blend of active fun, relaxation and rejuvenation to wrap up the weekend.
