Vishen Lakhiani, the Malaysian CEO and founder of Mindvalley, a personal growth and online learning platform, and an author of bestselling self-help books, has been based in Tallinn, the capital city of Estonia, since 2020. Although the 49-year-old starts his day with meditation and vegetable juice, as an entrepreneur, the level of wellness that he aims to achieve is not within easy reach.

“Simply going to the gym requires an hour round trip,” he says.

Recognising the importance of wellness in his life, Lakhiani is relocating to Eywa, a groundbreaking wellness community scheduled for completion next summer, in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates. Mindvalley has partnered with the developer and will also have a company presence there.

“I’ve always believed that certain spaces influence how I feel and perform. Some places make me incredibly productive and inspired, while others just don’t resonate energetically.”

At Eywa, everything is integrated – “from the gym and recovery facilities to restaurants and relaxation areas”.

“It will make it easy to be healthy,” Lakhiani says. “You don’t have to schedule well-being – it’s built right into your lifestyle.”
