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.
