Yes, that’s possible. Arada Akala Hotel & Residences in Dubai – the world’s first wellness destination in urban living.
Arada, one of the UAE’s most popular developers, has just launched this game-changing project. Situated between DIFC and Downtown Dubai, Akala is not only changing how people live but also how they invest in real estate. This iconic development is the answer to a new global demand: health, wellness and purpose-driven living in luxury.
Why Akala Stands Out in Dubai Real Estate
Let’s begin by understanding what makes Akala a standout project in Dubai’s booming real estate scene.
1. Unique Characteristics
Akala stands as a global first – a fully integrated, branded residence dedicated to precision wellness. Every square meter has been designed with a singular purpose: to help you live longer, healthier, and more balanced. This isn’t just real estate. It’s a movement.
2. Prime Location in Dubai
Located between Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) and Downtown Dubai, Akala offers unmatched access to Dubai’s financial, cultural, and commercial zones. Residents will live minutes from iconic landmarks like Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall, while enjoying peace and privacy.
3. AED 5 Billion Wellness Vision
With an estimated value of AED 5 billion, Akala Hotel & Residences features two 220-meter towers and 534 branded residences. It includes everything from elegant one-bedroom units to expansive penthouses. Sales launch May 31 at a landmark event at the Museum of the Future.
4. Global Wellness Brand in the Making
Following its Dubai debut, Akala aims to scale globally. Locations in the Middle East, Europe, and Australia are in the pipeline. Every property will blend Akala’s wellness mission with the local environment, delivering a culturally tailored yet consistently luxurious experience.
5.Certified Wellness Commitment
Akala has secured LEED Gold and WELL Silver precertification, showcasing its dedication to sustainability, indoor health, and energy-efficient design. This level of planning places it far ahead of most luxury developments in Dubai.
