Al Qana, the new social culinary and entertainment destination developed by Al Barakah International Investment (BII) in Abu Dhabi, revealed The Bridge Wellness Hub, one of its seven destinations. 

It is an integrated lifestyle wellness hub that has been carefully designed to be a disruptive space within its industry. The construction of the concept has commenced already and will open its doors for the first time in Q4 2020 to coincide with the grand opening of Al Qana.

The uniqueness of the concept comes from a combination of two ideas. One space that bridges all aspects of one’s life, work, play and personal & physical development. The second idea is the combination of science and art to deliver a superior design-driven intuitive experience, yet grounded in academic research and delivery of real results.

With a total space area of over 8,000 square meters, The Bridge will feature seven service tracks (Move – Pause – Taste – Seek – Choose – Expand – Learn), combined into an ethereal and customized individual journey that are spread across three floors and a roof garden lounge.  To support the development of the center, over 150 world-class employees and experts are brought into the project to offer real impact.

Fouad Mashal, CEO of Al Barakah International Investment said: “The Bridge is set to become the largest wellness offering in the Middle East. We joined forces to disrupt the market and introduce to Abu Dhabi an innovative concept that aims to improve the quality of life/wellbeing of residents by offering a new lifestyle journey. We learned from our Founding Father the late Sheikh Zayed that the happiness of our communities is central to the development of our nation.”

Khalid Nahhas, founder of The Bridge said: “There’s a growing quest for wellness in our societies and this is becoming a worldwide phenomenon and a big shift towards better lives. A cognisant and well-informed healthy community can lead in the powerful transformation of an entire city and empower its people to lead in vibrant and progressive self-fulfilling constructs. According to the Global Wellness Institute, wellness is now a USD 4.2 trillion industry.”

 “The Bridge” also supports the National Strategy for Wellbeing 2031, an initiative recently adopted by the UAE Cabinet in an effort to promote an integrated concept of wellbeing and make the UAE a global leader in quality of life.
