A SANCTUARY FOR CONTEMPORARY WELLNESS IN DUBAI

Akari offers evidence-based treatments in a toxin-free environment designed to restore both body and mind.

Akari is a brand new space in Dubai that moves beyond relaxation and aesthetics, offering measurable results through therapies rooted in science while maintaining the warmth and serenity of a restorative retreat. Combining advanced diagnostics and evidence-based treatments with an environment carefully crafted to nurture mind and body, it balances precision with calm. Programs are guided by data-driven assessments and expert protocols, empowering guests to achieve resilience, recovery, and longevity.

The calming interiors blend classical feng shui, sacred geometry, geomancy, and biophilic design to enhance harmony and coherence, making the architecture itself a form of healing. Natural and toxin-free materials, limewash, wood, and organic textiles that result is a restorative environment where design is not only sustainable but deeply supportive of human wellbeing.

Offering a whole new approach to wellbeing there is also the Brain Bar, serving bioactive beverages such as collagen infusions, adaptogenic blends, and fermented wellness shots. A perfect pit stop before or after a treatment to savour nourishing elixirs and wellness drinks.

I tried the Intermittent Hypoxia-Hyperoxia therapy (IHHT), designed to boost endurance, focus, and recovery. It is a passive, non-invasive, 40–60 minute treatment that alternates breathing low-oxygen (hypoxia) and high-oxygen (hyperoxia) air through a mask. It mimics high-altitude training to regenerate cells, reduce oxidative stress, and boost energy. This can also support chronic fatigue, cognitive decline, cardiovascular, and metabolic issues. A cellular workout, enjoyed while relaxing on a reclining chair and listening to meditative music.

This was followed by a 20-minute session on the Red Light Therapy Bed. Using wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to support cellular repair, reduce inflammation, and boost skin health, LED light targets the surface of the skin-making it ideal for treating issues like wrinkles and scars-while near-infrared light penetrates deeper, to benefit muscles and joints. This non-invasive treatment offers a wide range of health benefits while helping the mind and body fully unwind. Regular sessions will speed up healing and help recharge the body after illness, injury, or intense workouts.

Akari is where where science, sustainability, and serenity come together, offering holistic solutions for recovery, performance, and long-term wellbeing.
