An exclusive retreat between the Hajar Mountains and the Indian Ocean.
In December, all lights are spot on at the Abu Dhabi circuit, where the Grand Prix marks the spectacular close of the motorsport season. A lifestyle spectacle in its own right, it draws VIPs and HNWI from across the globe. But when the engines fade and the adrenaline slows, the true insiders head east — to Fujairah, where Naäma Beach Villas & Spa awaits as the ultimate post-race sanctuary.
Nestled between the dramatic Hajar Mountains and the Indian Ocean, Naäma offers a discreet escape where travelers can swap roaring engines for rolling waves and serene mountain views. Just a short helicopter ride from the race circuit — or a scenic 2.5-hour drive — Naäma redefines recovery through ultra-luxury, slow living, and uncompromising privacy.
Merana Spa & Hammam: deep restoration after high intensity
At the heart of Naäma lies the award-winning Merana Spa, a temple of holistic wellbeing. Here, ancient practices and modern science merge to restore balance after days of speed and spectacle. Signature rituals include: the Deep Muscle Massage, which releases tension from long days at the circuit, the Sleep Ritual, guiding the body into profound rest through breathwork and hot stone therapy, the Age Defying Cryo Globe Facial, which revitalises sun-stressed skin and restores radiance, and the Renewing Marine Body Ritual, a mineral-rich detox for both body and mind.
Merana also boasts a vast hammam offering, including the Ultimate Hammam Experience, Fusion Hammam, Moroccan Hammam and Berber Hammam. Combining black soaps, kessa exfoliation, mineral muds and precious oils, these journeys purify, rejuvenate, and ground — the perfect antidote to the intensity of race week.
Privacy elevated: in-villa wellness
For those who value absolute discretion, Naäma takes privacy to new heights. Guests who prefer to see no one besides their butler can order personalised massages directly to their villa, swim undisturbed in their own private pool and rejuvenate in the villa’s private steam room, turning each residence into a self-contained spa retreat.
Slow luxury lifestyle
Beyond the spa, Naäma’s philosophy of slow luxury extends to cuisine. Guests can enjoy light, wellness-focused dishes, balancing flavour and vitality, served either in the resort’s tranquil restaurants or in the privacy of their villa. Yoga, meditation, and mindful fitness sessions complete the holistic retreat, allowing guests to reconnect with body and spirit.
“We welcome many guests with demanding, high-profile lifestyles who, especially after such an adrenaline-filled and glamorous event, crave tranquility and absolute privacy,” says Mr. Ashraf Helmy, General Manager at Naäma Beach Villas & Spa. “At Naäma, they find the space to disconnect from society’s constant spotlight and immerse themselves in stillness, nature, and time that is entirely their own. Here, discerning guests can enjoy a world of true discretion and seclusion.”
The hidden gem of the Emirates
Dubai dazzles the world with its energy, while Abu Dhabi is often seen as its quieter, more elite little sister. Yet those in search of true exclusivity and untouched natural beauty look further east, to Fujairah. Nestled between mountains and sea, Naäma embodies Fujairah’s hidden-gem allure — a place where ultra-luxury is defined not by excess, but by privacy, stillness, and the luxury of time.
