A sun-filled life… but not always a restful one
Dubai has everything to make you dream: sunshine, modernity, comfort, and diversity. But for a French expat, there can also be moments of uncertainty—loss of bearings, isolation, underlying stress, or fatigue from the intense pace of life.
At Wellness Voyages, we believe that well-being is also about places that nourish the body, the mind, and social connection. Here is our selection of 5 local spots in Dubai to help you feel better, refocus, and reconnect with yourself.
Wild & The Moon
The ultimate healthy French-style café
Want to bring a bit of French touch back to your plate? This Paris-inspired café offers vegan, gluten-free, organic dishes and cold-pressed juices. Perfect for a detox break or a brunch with fellow French-speaking expats.
Special mention for their golden latte and their 100% good vibes energy.

The Hundred Wellness Centre
The inspiring café/lifestyle store
While this center also offers yoga, it features a lifestyle concept store, a reading corner, a natural products boutique, and above all, a healthy café in a peaceful setting. Perfect for spending some quiet time alone with a notebook or a good book.
Perfect for a slow-life moment without joining a guided activity.

Tom&Serg
For a soothing coffee break
Even though this café is popular for its brunches, Tom&Serg also charms with its warm industrial vibe, large bay windows, and specialty coffee. It’s the perfect spot to settle in with your laptop or a notebook between meetings—or simply to enjoy a moment for yourself.
Perfect for a creative break in a vibrant and inspiring place.

La Serre
A touch of France
A French-style bakery in the morning and a chic brasserie in the evening, La Serre brings a touch of Parisian elegance to the heart of Downtown Dubai. You’ll find croissants worthy of the finest patisseries, a refined décor, and a sun-drenched terrace perfect for enjoying a classic French café moment.
Perfect for those nostalgic for Paris and lovers of the French art of living.

Well-being also means slowing down, contemplating, and breathing.
You don’t need to join a guided activity to reconnect with yourself. These places are invitations to choose yourself in your daily life, to cultivate inspiration, and to create precious moments of pause—far from Dubai’s sometimes hectic pace.
? In parallel, our daytime wellness retreats for French expatriate women allow you to take this journey even further, in an intimate, caring, and 100% French-speaking environment.
