Inside Al Qana’s inspirational new concept wellness hub

We live in a country convinced that it is important to bring happiness to people and ensure their wellbeing is optimised – it’s a national priority in the state’s strategy. Thanks to our wise leadership, we placed a lot of emphasis on projects and initiatives that echo in real construct their vision and values and support the UAE's principles.

Nowadays, wellness centres are globally rising in popularity. They can be defined as holistic spaces that aim to raise awareness on your overall well-being. They are the essence of people’s inspiration to build their best selves. Working out and exercising can reduce stress, boost energy and sharpen your intellects.

Designing a space to invite everyone to workout freely, while expanding the notion of wellness into a much more expanded Lifestyle proposition is what inspired us the most. From exercising to nutritious culinary arts, and from distressing immersed in culture to peacefully working within colourful co-working space, our first of its kind lifestyle hub, created by our partner The Bridge Lifestyle Hub will be introduced in the region.

The concept of “The Bridge Lifestyle Hub,” located within Al Qana’s huge entertainment master plan offering, is inspired by two ideas. One space that bridges all aspects of one’s life, work, play, personal and physical development. The second idea is the combination of science and art to deliver a superior and intuitive experience grounded in technology and delivery of real results. Thus, The Bridge will bring an innovative lifestyle journey to Abu Dhabi and the UAE.
