Biosignature Modulation at Inspire

For regular people like me, there’s only so much that can be achieved by balancing what is considered a healthy diet with a good exercise regime. I’m sure many of us have got the stage where we’re doing all we can, whilst holding down a full-time and pressured job, and there’s still something that just isn’t working. A stubborn amount of fat in a specific area, something not as you’d like it in the body-composition stakes. Thankfully, along came a man called Charles Poliquin.

At Hotel Missoni, Kuwait

If there’s one thing we cannot be accused of, it’s not knowing how, where, and when to pamper ourselves. Working hard is one thing, but down-time is quite another - and increasingly the challenge is to balance one with the other.

Lavishly decorated rooms, renaissance architecture, panoramic sea views, special attention to privacy, rich facilities and glorious open spaces bring to life an incredibly unique feeling of gratification built on the understanding that a night spent at The Regency is a night spent in royalty; hence our motto, ‘Sheer Elegance’.

Always daring to be different

It’s not every day that one gets to meet a true style-legend, so for the times when it happens my advice is to make the very best of the occasion and choose the venue very, very carefully.

Fawzia Sultan Rehabilitation Institute

Sooner or later, unless you’re extremely lucky, you may require some form of rehabilitation. It could be physical (in response to a sports injury or perhaps an accident), mental (in the form of counselling or a more direct treatment for clinical disorder), or dietary (food therapy is an increasingly 

At Flex Executive

There can be few amongst us who doesn’t wish that he were a little bit fitter, and perhaps carried a little less weight. Until someone comes up with a pill that’s going to do this for us (and no one has - despite what some people might say) we’re going to have to be hitting the gym for some time

White Dental Centre

I’ve long had a fear of visiting a dentist. I’ve never singled out any one dentist in particular for being responsible for this fear - in fact I’ve rarely had a bad experience whilst in the dentist’s chair. 

Care, Safety, Excellence

Let’s face it - at some time most of us require medical services either for ourselves or our families - and when this happens we want the very best. Times are changing, and to stay ahead of the rest Beirut’s Clemenceau Medical Center (CMC), affiliated with John Hopkins International, have invested heavily in advanced technology and count some of the region’s

Bill Schuilenberg

Mental health, and the diagnosis, care, and treatment of psychological distress remains one of the few areas of healthcare to which, in this society at least, there lingers an element of social stigma. It is sad to acknowledge this is still true. For years now there has been a growth in awareness of the need to consider one’s mental health and the positive effect talk therapy can bring to almost any situation we might face in life. Modern life has brought added stress to all but a very few of us. We met and talked with Clinical Therapist, William Schuilenberg, at Kuwait’s Soor Center for Professional Therapy & Assessment to find out more.

Where life’s fast pace slows

It has long been one of Kuwait’s most enigmatic hotels and now, after a lengthy refurbishment, it’s back. Better than ever, and ready to meet all the modern traveller’s requirements. Men’s Passion met Chairman and Managing Director Jameel A. R. Al-Sane at The Regency and learned a little about the history, and even more about the future.

The hotel has been a landmark on the Kuwait coastline since 1981, when the Late Abdul Razzak Abdul Hameed Al Sane opened the Regency Hotel along an as yet undeveloped piece of land along Al Tawoon Street, Al Bada’a. In 1984, the Conference Centre building was added to the Hotel, which elevated the Regency Hotel to become a crown jewel amongst Kuwait’s hotels.

Not long ago, the thought of playing golf on a grass course in Kuwait seemed little more than a fanciful dream. Plans had been made, and projects have been in place since the early 1990s for the country to have an 18 -hole grass course that would be the envy of all that had gone before - but it wasn’t until the mirage became a reality in the form of the Sahara Kuwait Resort at the end of 2005 that we finally had something to shout about.

General Manager - Kuwait Sheraton Hotel

The first thing you need to know about Fahad Abu Shaar is that every day he takes his two children to school, then returns to his home and workplace - Kuwait’s Sheraton Hotel - to spend the next hour in the gym while he plans the rest of his day. The second thing to know, that if you don’t already know it, is that Fahad Abu Shaar has been at the Sheraton Kuwait for nearly thirty years, and is on first name terms with the great and the good in the worlds of politics and society. To them, he is known as Kuwait’s ‘Mr. Sheraton’. When you understand the first thing about Fahad, it helps you to understand how he achieves the second whilst still keeping his feet firmly on the ground.

Evason Ma’In Hot Springs and Six Senses Spa, Jordan

Life’s not always so easy, I work hard, but it doesn’t always follow that I want to play hard too. When it comes to taking some time off, occasionally I just want to be pampered and leave the thinking to someone else. Feeling in need of a recharge at the end of a long hot summer, I headed to the edge of the Dead Sea and the Evason Ma’In Hot Springs and Six Senses Spa, writes Ahmed Ramzi.

At the recent St. Regis International Cup polo test match, Men’s passions’ Nadia Al Kalawi caught up with Paul James, Global Brand Leader for The Luxury Collection & St. Regis Hotels, to find out what’s new with St. Regis and TLC, and learned a little more about why polo is their sport of choice.

Regular readers of these pages will already know that we think it’s ok for a guy to take good care of himself. The ways he dresses, the way he smells, and certainly it’s ok for a guy to take care of his skin. That’s right - to use product. In this climate it’s often not easy, we go for ice cold a.c. to superheated temperatures and back to ice cold in moments. Our skin wasn’t designed for this. How do we keep so young looking? A large part of this is down to Clarins.

The Banyan Tree Resorts are known as havens of comfort and relaxation all over the world and the hotel group’s first resort property in the Middle East, the Banyan Tree Desert Spa and Resort Al Areen in Bahrain, is no exception.

Men’s Passion’s Eirian Hasler investigates the spa at the Banyan Tree and samples one of the many treatments on offer.
