Amid the Maldivian archipelago, surrounded by startling blue water, a family comes together barefoot on the sand, laughter carrying across a beach picnic. Along another stretch of ocean, in the Gulf of Bahrain, an awareness of the present moment is restored through simple, meaningful rituals - breath drawn deeply, hands engaged in craft, fully attuned to the elements of this place. And among peaceful waterways in Dubai, intention guides each day, enriched by time-honoured Arabic traditions.

Created exclusively for Jumeirah One members, The Curated Collection brings together a series of immersive journeys across distinct destinations, created as bespoke experiences for each group. Designed to nurture connection with family, nature and oneself, these experiences are not about stepping away from life, but about returning to what gives it meaning.

Journey of Togetherness

Set on a private island in the North Malé Atoll, Jumeirah Olhahali Island offers a four-day getaway designed for families, supported throughout by a dedicated Lifestyle Concierge. At the languorous pace of island living, time together is encouraged in many forms.

Food becomes a natural gathering point, whether enjoyed as sunlit beach picnics, private villa barbecues, or evenings by the campfire, where marshmallows are toasted beneath glittering skies. begin on the villa rooftop with sunrise breathing and guided meditation, while Family Beach Olympics bring friendly competition to the powdery shore. A private yacht excursion invites exploration of the island, its glass-like surfaces alive with reef fish, rays and the occasional sea turtle, before families join the resident marine biologist to plant coral and learn how the reef is cared for and restored. Days are also left intentionally open - for swimming, play, or moments of rest at Talise Spa. As the stay draws to a close, memories are gathered into a personalised Family Rhythm Journal, a tangible keepsake to take home.

Echoes of Stillness

In contrast to the uninterrupted horizons of the Maldives, the Gulf of Bahrain offers a more intimate seascape, where wellness is cultivated through engagement with elemental forces - air, fire, earth and water - and a pearl-diving heritage deeply rooted in island life. From the outset, guests arriving at Jumeirah Gulf of Bahrain are invited to set devices aside, allowing attention to settle as each phase follows a different elemental focus.

The first phase centres on air, opening with guided breathwork that reconnects breath and awareness. Evenings take place outdoors, with dinner served beneath constellations overhead and stargazing offering perspective on scale and continuity.

Focus then turns to earth and fire. Morning begins with a simple breakfast enjoyed in fresh air and natural light, before hands move to traditional bread making, dough worked slowly and deliberately. A fire-led restorative experience follows, centred on warmth and release. Later, candle-making introduces scent and memory, before traditional coffee is prepared and stories carry into the evening.

The final phase is informed by water. Time is spent at sea and across calm channels, aboard a traditional abra, recalling Bahrain’s maritime past and the pearl divers who once worked these tides. A pearl-inspired ritual marks this heritage, before a final, unhurried lunch brings the retreat to a gentle close. Guests leave with sharpened awareness, carrying forward a deeper sensitivity to surroundings, practice and presence.

Journey of Al-Niyyah

In Dubai, the experience is anchored in intention - how it is clarified, carried and sustained. Set among winding waterways and lush garden landscapes, Jumeirah Dar Al Masyaf’s Arabian Houses provide the setting for five days shaped by a considered sequence of wellbeing practices rooted in Arabic tradition.

Mornings begin with guided sunrise yoga sessions held outdoors, before immersive grounding rituals and recovery-focused therapies such as the Satori Lounger. Time is also dedicated to signature hammam rituals using heat, water and manual treatment.

Cultural engagement flows throughout the days. A guided abra meditation precedes an Arabic scent-crafting workshop, where regional botanicals and resins are blended into a personal fragrance. Wellness-led dining enriches the experience - from Blue Zone dinners at Kayto to afternoon tea, lunches and nourishing breakfasts at Al Fayrooz Lounge. Evenings may include cabana massages beneath a scattering of stars, a private chandelier beach dinner, sunset yoga by the shore, or a floating wellness dinner at the Talise Spa Pool.

The journey closes with guided reflection, a final session and a curated wellness gift, offering continuity beyond the stay and a way to carry its intentions forward.
