Our favourite rooms
Any wellness warrior knows that sleep is key, and your well-trained hosts at Siro One Za’abeel have kitted every room out with a temperature-controlled mattress, meditation pillow and soundproofing for REM-encouraging nights of sleep. Instead of counting sheep, you can tally reps on the Swedish ladder or your yoga mat, or stream virtual TechnoGym classes on your projector screen to induce slumber. The freestanding bath tubs in the Siro Premium rooms offer soporific soaks, or up the ante in the Fitness Suite, with its view-surveying exercise area, boxing bag and private treatment room.
Poolside
Creating a symmetrical vignette, the skyscraper-contoured skyline is reflected in the adults-only (over-21s) infinity pool, on Tapasake’s rooftop terrace, which is suspended between buildings over the city below. Head to a poolside cabana between 6am and 10am (outside of these hours, there's an extra charge for Siro guests) for a tucked-away tête-à-tête or strut past the other sunloungers, showing off your new-found abs. Families can splash about in the foliage-framed garden pool, which has a dedicated area for little Smiths and mini lagoon-like areas inspired by Bali’s paddy fields. The focal point is a wooden pergola shading a swim-up bar, and the all-natural aesthetic is enhanced by swaying palm trees and floating stone islets.
Spa
You can put your boxing-fatigued arms and post-spinning legs in the healing hands of therapists at the Recovery Lab, who soothe with cutting-edge treatments and holistic rituals, such as immune-boosting IV drips, cryotherapy and myofascial cupping (classic massages and facials are also on the menu). Up the wellness factor with spells in the red-light chamber or cold plunge pool, or stretch out in a yin or hatha yoga class. And for a well-rounded approach to wellness, you can book a consultation with the resident nutritionist; we’ll be very impressed if you can stay on track with the hotel’s plethora of restaurants…
Packing tips
Look the part in Lululemon leggings or a Sweaty Betty matching set, even if you don’t plan on heading to the Fitness Lab. No need to pack any exercise accessories: each room is equipped with yoga mats, bolsters, resistance bands and a Swedish ladder, so you can easily limber up for your preferred form of cardio…
Also
The souped-up Fitness Lab has dedicated cardio, weights and stretching areas, and you’ll feel the burn in free HIIT and boxing classes. There are also personal training, reformer Pilates and spinning sessions for an extra charge.
Children
Welcome, but this wellness-focused stay is better suited to grown-ups. Breakfast is AED80 a day; some restaurants have age limits. Little Smiths at Siro get two hours for free at the kids' club on the 4th floor, near the family-friendly pool.
