Kerzner International has ushered in a new era of wellness-centric hospitality and unveiled its highly-anticipated flagship Siro resort in Dubai.

Situated within the striking One Za'abeel development (also home to Kerzner’s latest One&Only Resort), Siro One Za'abeel is designed to empower guests to unlock their peak mental and physical potential.

The fitness and recovery hotel brand's philosophy has been built around five biohacking pillars – fitness, nutrition, sleep, recovery and mindfulness – with tech integrations built in. Health and wellbeing are a part of every step of the customer journey which includes access to extensive fitness and recovery facilities, nutritious F&B options and sanctuary-like guestrooms designed to promote recovery.

“Prioritising fitness, recovery and selfcare has become a way of life for many and has evolved into a pillar facet of modern life,” says Philippe Zuber, Kerzner CEO.

“Siro is our direct response to this new normal. It’s our incubator concept, a merging of science and innovation to create a space that not only positively blurs the lines of wellness and hospitality but also brings together a community of like-minded individuals who want to enjoy the immediate benefits of fitness while future-proofing their health.”

Further Siro locations are set to open in Montenegro, Japan and Mexico.

The Fitness Lab

At the core of the Siro One Za'abeel experience lies its Fitness Lab, a dynamic hub offering an array of 50 weekly group exercise classes across four specialised studios: the Experience Box, the cycle studio, the yoga studio and a space for reformer Pilates.

At the forefront of this line-up is the Experience Box, an atmospheric studio designed for HIIT and Siro Signature Classes. It features a digital screen supporting TG Team Beats, adding interactive visual engagement by tracking heart rate, performance metrics and current exercises.

The Experience Box's functional performance focus includes suspension trainers, boxing and self-powered treadmills.

This studio also hosts specialised classes like Functional Fitness by AC Milan and Boxing Fitness by Ramla Ali and spinning classes in the cycle studio.

Exclusive off-site activities further complement the experience, inviting guests to explore Dubai's vibrant landscape through desert bike rides, mountain treks, and more.

Recovery LabElevating the pursuit of holistic wellness, Siro One Za'abeel's Recovery Lab has been designed as a sanctuary for mindfulness practices, personalised treatments and rejuvenating holistic classes.

The offering is complemented by Proverb’s modular stretch massage, skin workouts, assisted stretching, physiotherapy, myofascial cupping and dry needling.
