Culture-rich, wellness-infused, and just a short flight away.

By Veronica Carpio, Editor at The Wellness Collective

Eid Al Adha is more than just a break—it’s an opportunity to pause, reflect, and reconnect. Whether you’re craving a tranquil solo reset, a nourishing family reunion, or a cultural deep-dive that touches something deeper, this long weekend invites us to travel with purpose.

From the golden sands of AlUla to the serene shores of Muscat, we’ve curated a list of transformative escapes that offer more than luxury—they offer meaning. Here’s where to go this Eid when you want wellness, connection, and culture in equal measure.

Muscat: A Breath of Stillness by the Sea

The Chedi Muscat

If your soul is calling for stillness, answer it with the salty breeze of Muscat. The Chedi Muscat, a minimalist masterpiece nestled between the Al Hajar Mountains and the Gulf of Oman, is the ideal setting for an introspective retreat.

Start your day with calming breathwork on the lawn, let the Reconnect Ritual (a soothing massage, facial, and jacuzzi session) melt away months of tension, then enjoy a slow four-course Eid feast that blends the warmth of Omani spices with global flair.

Eid Offer: From OMR 95++ per night, including breakfast.
Reconnect Ritual for Two: OMR 150++
Eid Dinner: OMR 20++ per person

Sharjah: An Intimate Celebration of Tradition

The Chedi Al Bait, Sharjah

Not all escapes need a passport. Sometimes, the most profound experiences happen close to home. In the heart of Sharjah’s heritage district, The Chedi Al Bait offers a slower, more intentional Eid.

Gather under the stars at Bait Khalid Bin Ibrahim, where you can host a private Eid barbecue with your loved ones in your own historic villa courtyard. Follow it with a lamb fatteh feast or a spa afternoon that blends deep massage with delicate bites of afternoon tea.

Eid Stay: From AED 800 per night with breakfast
Private BBQ for 10: Available on request
Spa & Tea Experience: From AED 470

AlUla: Eid Among the Ancients

The Chedi Hegra

For those craving awe and ancient beauty, AlUla delivers in spades. Set against towering sandstone cliffs and historical wonders, The Chedi Hegra invites guests to live Eid through the lens of legacy and renewal.

Expect guided wildlife tours at dawn, soulful spa treatments by afternoon, and vibrant cultural performances like the Cairokee concert under the stars. The weekend here becomes less about itinerary, more about immersion.

Eid Package: SAR 4,000++
Includes: 2-night stay, breakfast, wildlife safari, spa, and lunch
Don’t Miss: The Oasis Summer Farm walking tour, Saturdays at 5pm

Dubai’s Hidden Seaside Sanctuary

One&Only The Palm

Tucked away on a quiet corner of Palm Jumeirah, One&Only The Palm is a study in quiet luxury. Andalusian arches, tropical gardens, and beachside serenity create a cocoon of calm—perfect for those craving solitude without leaving the city.

This Eid, wander through Botanique, a summer exhibition by Jenna Bitar that mirrors the quiet rhythms of Gulf nature. Linger over afternoon tea in the Lounge, or simply do nothing at all—deliberately.

Summer Staycation Offer:

• AED 500 resort credit (suites), AED 1,000 (villas)
• Complimentary sundowners and kids’ stay
• Access to nearby waterpark
• For bookings, email: reservations@oneandonlythepalm.com
