Inspired by the serene sanctuaries of Bali, wellness destination The Lob will debut on 19 April.
The padel craze is here to stay and, paired with our collective quest for holistic wellness, a brand-new destination has set out to bring the two together and create a community of like-minded individuals. Entitled The Lob, it will officially open its doors on 19 April.
Inspired by the vibrant origins of padel in Mexico and the serene sanctuaries of Bali, The Lob is located in Al Quoz 3, its expansive space featuring six indoor padel courts, two multifunction studios including the Move Room equipped with infrared technology for both heated and non-heated yoga classes, and the Align Room with six Peak Reformer Pilates beds, showers, and changing facilities. Guests can also book the Infrared Sauna Room for deep recovery, available for two members at a time. Here’s a first look.
The Dose by Chef Silvena
The Dose by Chef Silvena, Dubai’s renowned healthy café, will be available at The Lob, offering a meticulously crafted menu that blends exceptional flavours with health-conscious ingredients. From energising elixirs and vibrant superfood bowls to guilt-free treats, each dish has been designed to provide the perfect nourishment after an intense yoga session or match of padel.
Padel, Elevated
With six premium indoor courts in a signature sage green hue, the space is built to elevate your game and reflect the club’s sleek, modern aesthetic. Whether it’s dropping in for a friendly rally or training with elite coaches from Spain, The Lob is designed for players of every level. The Lob also serves as a premier destination for corporate team-building, social gatherings, and soon-to-come high-energy tournaments, designed for social and amateur players alike.
Wellness Matters
The Lob’s dynamic wellness offering caters for all with signature Pilates-inspired classes like Reformer & Mat Hybrid, HIIT & Pilates, Strength & Conditioning, yoga, body sculpt, and athlete-focused Roll & Release. Additional wellness experiences include monthly sound healing, breathwork, and meditation workshops. Intimate class sizes of 6-18 participants will provide a personalised experience, catering to all fitness levels and abilities.
