7-Day Slimming & Wellness Retreat with Advanced Body Contouring in Dubai

The retreat begins with a general medical exam and a laboratory test on day two. This isn't a token formality – a doctor reviews the results with you and builds a picture of your health before any treatment starts. It's this clinical grounding that sets the program apart from a purely spa-based weight-loss holiday.

Then come the treatments. Over the week you receive two sessions of cavitation and two of fat-burner therapy. Cavitation uses ultrasound to break down fat cells, and you'll typically notice a reduction in inches around the treated areas. Fat-burner therapy supports your metabolism. Both are non-invasive, so there's no downtime – you can walk straight from a session to the pool.

Between treatments, you have real free time. Day four is entirely open, and the resort is large enough that you won't run out of things to do. There's a spa, several restaurants, the pool, and the surrounding polo estate to explore. For an extra charge you can arrange horse riding, a polo lesson, or a desert safari, which is worth doing if you've never been in the dunes.

The hotel itself is a big part of the experience. Meliá Desert Palm is a five-star property where every room is a suite, decorated in a style that mixes Latin and Emirati influences. The staff are used to hosting a demanding international clientele, and the level of service is what you'd expect from a hotel of this calibre. On the final day, you meet the doctor again to review your progress and get advice on maintaining your results at home.
