Dubai’s thriving wellness community came together on Sunday for an unforgettable beachfront retreat, as BFB x IM8 by David Beckham curated a one-of-a-kind morning experience at Delano Dubai, Bluewaters. Blending fitness, mindfulness, and community against the serene backdrop of the Arabian Gulf, the retreat offered participants a holistic journey designed to energize the body, restore balance, and inspire connection.

Led by celebrity trainer Bishal Kandel, founder of Befitwithbishal (BFB), the morning unfolded through thoughtfully designed sessions that embraced both intensity and calm. Guests began with a dynamic high-intensity beach workout, channeling the ocean’s energy into movement, followed by a flowing yoga practice along the shoreline to ground and centre through breath. The experience then transitioned into a sound healing session, where resonant vibrations created a space of inner stillness and rejuvenation.

To complete the journey, guests were treated to a wholesome beachfront breakfast featuring vibrant bowls, fresh bakes, and energizing beverages — a nourishing spread that reflected the retreat’s commitment to mindful living without compromise on pleasure.

The collaboration between BFB and IM8 by David Beckham brought together some of Dubai’s leading wellness brands, including Plaay by Rashi Choudhary, Ryze, Wellvibe, and Rite, transforming Delano’s beachfront into a vibrant hub of movement and community. Guests also enjoyed Ryze Kombucha, adding a refreshing, health-forward element to the experience.

More than a fitness event, this retreat was a celebration of lifestyle and holistic wellbeing, setting a new benchmark for experiential wellness gatherings in the city. With its seamless blend of physical challenge, mindful practice, and social connection, BFB x IM8 by David Beckham showcased Dubai’s growing appetite for spaces that nurture both body and mind in equal measure.
