Short on annual leave but really need a relaxing retreat-style break? Talise Spa at the Madinat Jumeirah is holding its annual Summer Yoga Weekend Retreat from May 11 to 13.

The Dubai retreat includes several yoga sessions of varying styles, meals and refreshments, a massage and beach access, and although accommodation isn’t included in the price, it can be arranged to make it a proper weekend getaway.

Participants are introduced to the retreat with a 6pm sunset yin yoga session by the beach on Thursday, May 11. It continues the following day with a 7.30am morning wake-up yoga session by the beach. After breakfast, participants can enjoy a spa treatment or relax at the beach, before a discussion with Talise’s wellness chef Gabi Kurz. The afternoon involves more relaxation before a 5.30pm beach yoga session.

Saturday, May 13, continues in a similar fashion with yoga, breakfast and leisure time in the morning, followed by sound meditation and yoga nidra in Talise’s yoga studio, and a healthy lunch at the Waterfront Cafe at Jumeirah Beach Hotel. The afternoon involves more leisure time before the retreat ends with a 5.30pm beach yoga session.

The three-day retreat costs Dh1,490 and Jumeirah is offering a special rate of Dh2,160 per room, per night on its Arabian Deluxe Summerhouse rooms for the retreat weekend. Bookings can be made by calling Talise Spa on 04 366 6818 or emailing mjtalise@jumeirah.com.
