It’s official! Wellness has entered Saudi Arabia, and it’s time to bring yoga mats and talk about fitness and sound bowls. The Eastern Province is gearing up to host a groundbreaking moment for the Kingdom: its first-ever wellness retreat. Say hello to Bayn Wellness Retreat, a weekend designed for women to unplug, unwind, and recharge by the sea.
Saudi Arabia’s First-Ever Wellness Retreat Lands In The Eastern Province
From Friday, May 23 to Saturday, May 24, Bayn is bringing up its tranquil tents on the pristine sands of AlUqair Beach, about 50 kilometres from Al-Ahsa. The name “Bayn” speaks volumes. It’s that gentle pause between chaos and calm, where women can step away from life’s noise and reconnect with themselves.
Bayn offers a packed-yet-peaceful schedule of holistic experiences, custom designed for mind, body, and soul. Mornings kick off with lululemon-led yoga by the shore. It’s followed by sound-healing sessions that’ll have your inner energies humming in harmony. But it doesn’t stop there. The retreat also dives into breathwork to help guests release emotional stress. You’ll find mental wellness workshops, gut health masterclasses, and even creative rituals that encourage self-expression through artisan crafts. It’s self-improvement, but beachy.
History, Healing, and Hatha
AlUqair Beach, with over 6,000 years of legacy as a former trading port, the area carries an energy of connection and resilience.. This blend of ancient grounding and modern wellness gives Bayn its uniqueness. You’re walking into a space that respects your growth while honouring the land’s story. And here’s the cherry on top, it’s women-only. No judgement, no distractions, just a sea of like-minded women on their own wellbeing journeys.
