In an exciting development for the Dubai real estate market, Arada has officially launched Akala, the world’s first precision wellness destination. This innovative concept redefines global hospitality by seamlessly combining wellness and luxury living, setting a new standard for residential developments. With a holistic approach aimed at enhancing quality of life, Akala integrates cutting-edge wellness solutions into its architectural design, promising a unique lifestyle experience for future residents.
Arada’s Akala draws its name from a Sanskrit term meaning ‘beyond time,’ embodying its vision of creating a timeless sanctuary for living well.
The flagship Akala Hotel & Residences boasts 534 luxury residences strategically situated between the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) and Downtown Dubai, enhancing the appeal of this unique location within the vibrant city.
Sales for Akala Hotel & Residences Dubai to Commence May 31
The ambitious project features two striking 220-metre towers interconnected by a podium that houses an array of spa, fitness, and clinical wellness facilities. With an investment of AED 5 billion, sales are set to launch on Saturday, May 31, during a special two-day event at Dubai’s Museum of the Future. The residential offerings will include everything from one-bedroom apartments to The Observatory, an opulent two-level penthouse with breathtaking views of the iconic Burj Khalifa.
In the words of Prince Khaled bin Alwaleed bin Talal, Executive Vice Chairman of Arada: “With Akala, we are creating a sanctuary that reflects how people want to live today, where peak health, personal performance, and rest are all part of the same experience. With an array of wellness facilities and services that is unmatched anywhere in the world, Akala is designed for the next generation of global citizens who want to live better, happier, and longer.”
This pioneering development has already achieved LEED Gold and WELL Silver precertification, a testament to its commitment to sustainability and occupant well-being, with anticipated completion set for the end of 2029.
According to Ahmed Alkhoshaibi, Group CEO of Arada, “Akala represents the convergence of two powerful global shifts – the rise of wellness as a central life pursuit and the demand for service-led, lifestyle-driven residential experiences. Dubai is the perfect place to launch this concept, and we’re proud to introduce a new kind of brand from the region to the world.”
Each residence is equipped with advanced air and water purification systems, individualized climate control, and circadian lighting, promoting a comfortable and health-conscious living environment. Sustainable materials and furnishings have been meticulously chosen to enhance both aesthetic and ecological integrity. Furthermore, residents can personalize their environments through smart technology integrations.
Wellness-enhancing features include organic sleep systems, EMF-conscious design elements, and acoustic optimizations that support longevity and restful living. The development will also house a comprehensive fitness club featuring strength and cardio training equipment, private training pods, an indoor lap pool, and dedicated spaces for cycling and group exercises.
The Akala Spa is poised to become a wellness oasis, offering amenities such as saunas, hammams, and thalassotherapy pools. Additionally, VIP suites and wellness studios will cater to the needs of residents seeking movement, recovery, and mindfulness practices.
Residents will also benefit from Everwell’s medical wellness clinic, which offers diagnostics, preventative care, and personalized treatment alternatives, including cutting-edge stem cell therapies. Other lifestyle amenities include organic dining selections, an L-shaped pool, shared social spaces, and exclusive facilities for residents such as a gym, spa, and private cinema.
To elevate the living experience further, Akala offers lifestyle and wellness concierge services that encompass daily housekeeping, in-home spa services, curated dining experiences, and specialized fitness and recovery programs. Additionally, there’s a range of expert services including family support, companion care, and bespoke event planning.
Positioned as a members’ club with an international focus, Akala will grant residents and guests access to wellness programs, exclusive content, and experiences across future locations worldwide. After its launch in Dubai, plans for Akala’s expansion include targeting additional Middle Eastern markets, as well as Europe and Australia. Each new location will be tailored to complement its local culture and environment while upholding the brand’s commitment to precision wellness.
