In October, Dubai will welcome an entirely new kind of wellness experience as SIRO One Za’abeel unveils the first-ever Sanctum Wellness Boost Retreat. Running from October 1 to 5, 2025, the five-day programme is designed to do more than rejuvenate the body—it aims to push the limits of human performance while fostering inner growth. Against the sleek backdrop of Dubai’s most innovative wellness-focused hotel, the retreat will mark the global expansion of Sanctum, a movement that has already begun redefining what holistic living can mean in today’s world.
At its heart, Sanctum is not simply a workout but an intricate methodology that unites movement, recovery, mindfulness, and nutrition. Guests will find themselves immersed in a high-performance ecosystem that balances intensity with restoration. From contrast therapy to signature Sanctum sessions, from guided breathwork and sound healing to mindful cooking and sleep workshops, the retreat creates a rhythm that synchronises both physical vitality and mental clarity.
The launch in Dubai holds symbolic weight. As the city continues to position itself as a global hub for innovation in wellbeing, Sanctum’s arrival feels almost inevitable. With SIRO One Za’abeel as its stage, the retreat takes on a heightened sense of purpose: an experience where design, science, and community intersect to create a transformative environment unlike any other in the region.
“Sanctum is more than a workout—it’s a call to awaken something deeper within,” explains Luuk, one of the movement’s visionaries. His words capture the retreat’s essence: a cathartic release, a chance to journey to the edge of one’s own capabilities while embracing the liberating truth of being enough as you are. It is this blend of challenge and acceptance that has allowed Sanctum to capture global attention.
SIRO’s Senior Vice President, Matteos Georgiou, places the retreat at the very centre of the brand’s mission. “At SIRO, we’re building a fitness ecosystem unlike anything else, and Sanctum is the embodiment of our vision,” he says. “This isn’t just about physical training—it’s about connection, self-expression, and pushing boundaries. Sanctum unlocks the kind of personal growth we want every guest to experience.” It is a philosophy that elevates wellbeing from a lifestyle trend to a way of living with purpose.
The programme itself invites participants to embrace Dubai in a way that goes beyond its architectural marvels. With mornings of energising movement, afternoons of recovery, and evenings of mindful connection, the city becomes not just a backdrop but an active partner in the experience. Sunlight-filled studios, immersive soundscapes, and panoramic views from One Za’abeel’s soaring structure offer constant reminders of the possibilities that arise when environment and intention align.
For Dubai, the Sanctum Wellness Boost Retreat is more than just another addition to its already vibrant wellness landscape—it is a statement of leadership. By hosting this global-first, SIRO One Za’abeel affirms its place as a pioneer in next-generation fitness, while Sanctum continues its journey to inspire a worldwide community of seekers, movers, and creators who see wellness not as an endpoint but as a lifelong exploration.
