KT Luxe Healthy Ageing Summit 2026 in Dubai

The KT Luxe Healthy Ageing Summit 2026 in Dubai is a one-day gathering on longevity and preventive health at Mandarin Oriental Jumeira on Wednesday 25 November. Doors open at 8:30am and the day runs until 6:30pm, so this is a full working day rather than a breakfast briefing, built around one question: how do you add healthy years to a longer life, not simply more years?

Who is behind it: KT Luxe

KT Luxe is the premium weekend title from Khaleej Times, one of the UAE’s longest-running English-language newspapers. It launched in March 2025 as the country’s first premium weekend newspaper and covers business, finance, real estate, culture and lifestyle for decision-makers and professionals, across print, digital, social media and events. The Healthy Ageing Summit is part of that events side, and its audience mirrors the readership the title was created for.

What the summit covers

The listing describes the summit as bringing together the people shaping the future of longevity, with the focus on healthy ageing, long-term performance and preventive health. The idea is to treat health span, the number of years lived in good health, as something you plan for with the same care you give a career or an investment portfolio.

A detailed agenda and speaker line-up had not been published at the time of writing. Check the ticket page for announcements as the date gets closer, as these will shape whether the day leans more towards clinical science, fitness and performance, or the business and investment side of the longevity industry.

Who it is aimed at

The organisers are clear about the room they want to fill. On one side are the people planning their own long-term health:

• High-net-worth individuals and family office principals.
• C-suite executives, self-made professionals and other senior decision-makers.
• Anyone aged 35 or over who is actively planning for a longer, healthier life.

On the other side are the professionals working in prevention:

• Healthcare leaders and clinicians.
• Wellness entrepreneurs and fitness specialists.
• Insurers and investors in preventive health.

Putting both groups in one space is the point. For practitioners and founders, it is a concentrated audience of potential clients, partners and backers. For individual guests, it is a chance to hear directly from the people building the clinics, programmes and products in this field. It is less suited to anyone looking for a relaxed spa-style wellness day, as the format is closer to a business summit.

Tickets are sold as an Executive Access Pass, released first at an early bird rate.

The venue: Mandarin Oriental Jumeira

Mandarin Oriental Jumeira, at 1 Jumeirah Street on Jumeirah Beach Road, opened in 2019 as the group’s first hotel in the Middle East. It is a beachfront resort that sits closer to Dubai’s financial and business districts than most, which suits a weekday event. Its meeting spaces include a 650 square metre glass-walled ballroom with a beachfront terrace, alongside six restaurants and bars, among them Tasca by Portuguese chef José Avillez, and a spa.

To get there by car, head south-west along Jumeira Street (D94) and continue until the hotel appears on your right; the ticket page suggests using GPS. Taxis and ride-hailing apps are an easy option for a full day.

If you book and then cannot attend, the ticket platform lets you pass your ticket on to another buyer.
