been put together based on feedback from a hosted trip of lifestyle, wellness and fashion content creators with Sovereign’s sister brand Destination2. The influencers included model and former Towie star Lucy Mecklenburgh, former The Saturdays member Una Healy and reality TV star and model Maura Higgins. Feedback from the influencers shaped the design
of the itineraries, reflecting growing demand for “restorative, experience-led luxury travel”. The VIP packages include a stay at Atlantis The Palm and a programme of wellness, desert and dining experiences that can be tailored to clients’ preferences. Signature experiences include sound healing
meditation at The Lost Chambers Aquarium at Atlantis
The Palm; a hot-air balloon flight at sunrise with Michelin-level breakfast; an overnight desert stay with camel riding and stargazing; mindfulness mornings at Gitano Dubai; and destination dining, including Casablanca and Ayamna at Atlantis The Palm. Erin Johnson, group chief marketing officer at
Sovereign parent Travcorp Holdings, said: “The feedback highlighted strong demand for luxury retreats that balance wellbeing, exceptional service and memorable experiences. That insight directly informed the development of these new packages.” The Diamond Dubai package starts from £2,899
and includes a Royal Platinum Desert Experience with an overnight stay, camel riding and fine dining. Golden Dubai, from £1,899, features a Platinum Desert Safari with camel riding and overnight desert stay. Classic Dubai, from £1,349, does not include the desert stay. All packages are four nights’ B&B and include return flights from Gatwick. To book call 01293 832376.
