In a world where luxury is often measured by material possessions, The Experience Store (TES) is reshaping perceptions by focusing on the timeless value of shared adventures and meaningful connections. From breathtaking desert journeys and private yacht escapes to wellness retreats and Michelin-starred dining, the brand has become a trusted gateway to moments that matter most.
As global and regional trends shift, experiential luxury has emerged as the new currency of fulfillment. According to a recent report by Bain & Company, a global management consulting firm, the global market for experiences is projected to grow twice as fast as the luxury goods market over the next decade, with spending on travel, dining, and wellness predicted to exceed US$1.5 trillion by 2030. In the Middle East, a survey by Deloitte found that nearly 78 percent of high-net-worth individuals now prioritise spending on experiences rather than goods, reflecting a growing desire to live deeply and meaningfully. The UAE, with its cosmopolitan community and reputation as a global hub for luxury, has become the natural centre of this lifestyle transformation. TES has stepped into this moment with a mission to curate opportunities that go beyond extravagance, giving families, couples, and individuals access to journeys that bring people together, strengthen bonds, and create lasting memories.
The philosophy underpinning TES is rooted in the belief that true value lies in capturing time with loved ones. In an era where life moves at relentless speed, carving out space for family, friends, and shared celebrations is becoming increasingly precious. Each of TES’s offerings is designed with this understanding at its heart. Whether it is a romantic island escape, a rejuvenating wellness retreat, or a starlit dining experience in the desert, the goal remains the same: to provide more than an event or an outing, but rather a memory that lives on long after the moment passes.
“At The Experience Store, we believe that true luxury is not found in what we own, but in what we share,” said Anand Nair, CEO of The Experience Store. “Every adventure, every retreat, and every meal bring us closer to the people we love. That is why we focus on crafting moments that matter because memories are the only treasures that grow richer with time.” His words reflect a broader cultural shift toward valuing experience as the ultimate form of wealth.
What makes TES unique in this growing market is its meticulous curation. The platform has earned a reputation for excellence by building strong partnerships with globally recognised brands, elite hospitality providers, and wellness leaders. The result is a marketplace unlike any other, offering clients unrivalled access to an array of handpicked journeys. Each experience is designed with the hallmarks of exclusivity, personalisation, and quality. No two bookings are the same because no two clients are the same. TES ensures that every detail reflects the tastes, expectations, and dreams of the individual or group it serves.
By blending holistic wellness with indulgent luxury, TES has gone beyond traditional entertainment or hospitality to set a new benchmark in experiential living. Its portfolio spans private yachts that glide across Dubai’s iconic coastline, adrenaline-filled desert safaris that showcase the beauty of the Arabian sands, rejuvenating therapies crafted by world-class practitioners, fine dining led by Michelin-starred chefs, and stays in some of the most exclusive hideaways. Each of these moments is elevated by the promise of intimacy, exclusivity, and seamless delivery, making TES not just a provider, but a creator of extraordinary stories.
The rise of TES also aligns with the broader vision of the UAE to become the world’s happiest city. By encouraging people to engage with their surroundings, to connect with one another, and to find joy in discovery, TES complements the nation’s pursuit of well-being and quality of life. For residents balancing fast-paced careers and international lifestyles, and for tourists seeking more than conventional sightseeing, TES offers a gateway into deeper experiences that combine leisure with enrichment. It is this alignment of purpose between individual desire and national vision that has helped TES grow so rapidly in recent years.
“The Experience Store is more than a marketplace; it is a philosophy of living,” added Mr. Nair. “We want to encourage people to celebrate not just milestones, but everyday moments. Whether it is an anniversary, a getaway, or simply time spent together, every experience is an opportunity to connect, to grow, and to create joy. In the end, it is the memories that define the legacy we leave behind.”
The Experience Store continues to stand apart by delivering on its promise of excellence at every step. Its emphasis on quality control, personal attention, and discreet service ensures that each client feels a sense of exclusivity and trust. This is reinforced by its collaborations with global luxury and wellness leaders, offering clients confidence that their journeys will meet the highest standards. Whether for a resident of Dubai seeking an escape from routine, or a visitor eager to immerse in the UAE’s most exclusive offerings, TES provides not only access but assurance.
