Tatweer, a member of Dubai Holding, is to build a Dh3.68 billion ($1 billion) wellness resort in Dubai Healthcare City (DHCC).

Called the Dubai Wellness Resort, the project will be located in Phase Two of DHCC.
Tatweer’s new initiative boosts its investments in DHCC to a total of Dh12.5 billion, underpinning its support for delivering quality healthcare services, while driving the growth of life-improving industries across the region. DHCC has so far attracted Dh15 billion of additional investments from its partners, bringing the overall investments in DHCC to Dh27.5 billion.
Situated alongside the Dubai Creek, within DHCC’s Wellness Cluster, the resort will serve as a premier location for preventative and integrative medicine, and for promoting health-enhancing lifestyles in the region.
The resort will include a rejuvenation centre for cosmetic services; healing and health-centre for integrated medical services; active-lifestyle centre as sports medicine facility, and healthy-living residences for eco-friendly living. It will also encompass a healthy-lifestyle retail district in the town centre and seven-star luxury hotels.
 “The new wellness facility underpins our relentless endeavour to promote Dubai as the hub for healthcare excellence,” says Tatweer executive chairman Saeed Al Muntafiq. “Its integrative medicine approach will strengthen DHCC’s position as the leading destination for comprehensive health services through its fusion of allopathic, complementary, and alternative medicine using an evidence-based approach.”
The resort will bring together under one roof advanced curative approaches in integrative medicine from the West, East and the Arab world. Set amidst a sustainable, carbon-neutral environment, it will distinguish itself through the application of innovative techniques in preventative medicine, provision of timely and holistic patient management programs, and ongoing follow-up treatment.
Al Muntafiq adds: “Regarded as the world’s most integrated healthcare free zone, patients seeking DHCC’s world-class treatment and medical procedures will now have the privileged option of selecting from a range of curative therapies. The Dubai Wellness Resort will offer a continuum of care, facilitating patients’ referral to and from key components within DHCC, such as the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Academic Medical Center and other medical establishments.”
As an integral element of DHCC, which prioritises the provision of quality healthcare, the resort will provide an additional incentive for boosting wellness tourism in the region.
Through the integration of Phase One, which will be the centre for cutting edge diagnosis and conventional treatment modalities, and Phase Two, which focuses on wellness therapies, DHCC aims to offer holistic healthcare through disease prevention and management, health psychology, and other life-enhancing services.
