Ahmed Alkhoshaibi, Group CEO of Arada, explained that Akala is created to represent the convergence of two powerful global phenomena, that is, wellness as a central component of life and the demand for service-led, lifestyle-driven residential experiences. Viewing the entire concept of this development, Dubai is the perfect place for introducing this new kind of wellness brand.

The entry of Akala in the market unlocks a new rendition of industry trends concerning health and wellness models and destinations. Akala shouts towards a future that will help this city of the future, Dubai, to live up to its name through its clinical, hospitality, and real estate services centred around individuals and buyers preferring a happier, longer, and more convenient lifestyle for themselves.

Akala by Arada is created to target high-net-worth individuals on a global scale. This wellness destination is built to directly target the wealthy audiences seeking personalized and preventive health and well-being. This new launch coexists with Dubai’s growing demand for branded and ultra-luxurious residences over the past few years, thereby structuring and bringing an extension to the luxury segment of the real estate market of Dubai.

With the launch of this premium wellness center, Akala, Dubai will venture out to reach new heights with each growing step. This is not just another high-end development but a pioneering revolution embarking on a paradigm shift in wellness, sustainability, luxury, technology, and medical science.
