Abu Dhabi has been named one of the top cities for the ultra wealthy
Turns out, when the world's wealthiest are looking for their next address, Abu Dhabi is high on the wishlist. New research from Savills has ranked Abu Dhabi as one of the top two global cities for high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) to live, work and yes – play. With its tax-free lifestyle, year-round sunshine, glittering cultural institutions, luxury real estate and the all-important sense of safety, Abu Dhabi has emerged as a magnet for millionaires and billionaires alike. According to the report, more than 6,700 ultra-wealthy individuals made the move to the UAE last year, many from the UK, where taxes can gobble up as much as 45 percent of earnings. In comparison? The UAE offers a tempting buffet of no capital gains tax, no inheritance tax and generous investment-friendly policies. Add a 10-year golden visa and a tech-savvy, forward-looking economy to the mix and you've got yourself a luxury-lifestyle jackpot. While Dubai took the top spot in the rankings thanks to its high-profile tax perks, Abu Dhabi isn't far behind – beating out heavy-hitters like Singapore, Zurich, Auckland and major US cities. What gives the UAE capital an edge? It's not just the money talk. Savvy HNWIs are now choosing cities based on quality of life, climate, safety and culture, not just tax breaks. Here's what else is fuelling the millionaire migration: A strong real estate market Access to world-class healthcare and education A stable, geopolitically neutral location in turbulent times A rich cultural calendar packed with opera, art and Formula 1 thrills With bold ambitions and a booming economy, Abu Dhabi isn't just a destination for wealth – it's a destination of choice. Whether you're drawn by art on Saadiyat, tech in Hub71, or a villa on the Corniche, the message is clear: the good life is calling. Paul Tostevin, Director at Savills said: 'Against an increasingly changeable geopolitical and economic backdrop, global wealth flows are evolving, as HNWIs and businesses adapt their decisions on where to locate. 'Traditional predictors of global wealth flows, such as government policies, taxes and incentives, and the presence of either innovative talent pools or existing communities of similar individuals, have always been key drivers of dynamic footloose companies and individuals, and will continue to play a major role, but a sense of place, and a high quality of living, are progressively the deciding factor when making location decisions.'

The Giving Movement is launching their own cafe at City Walk
The Giving Movement will be giving us life with caffeine… Word is out that The Giving Movement, everyone's favourite homegrown athleisure and apparel brand, is launching its very own cafe and we can't keep calm. We spotted a sneaky announcement on their Instagram stories, saying that they are soft launching their very first cafe out of their flagship store in City Walk. Not much was else was detailed besides the fact that the project has been under works, secretly, for a while, and that they're bringing together coffee, culture and community in one space. The videos from the soft launch showed a stellar response, with a the massive store packed and teeming with people. So, far not much is known about the opening dates, the menu and all the finer details, but we'll be keeping our eye out to stay tuned with the updates. The Giving Movement is one of Dubai's biggest homegrown success stories. Since launching its e-commerce site in April 2020, the Dubai-born athleisure brand has gone from strength to strength, expanding rapidly with multiple stores across Dubai. The brand isn't only in the business of creating eco-friendly athleisurewear, but it's also in the business of giving back, with Dhs15 donated to charity partner Dubai Cares & Harmony House for every item sold. So when you buy from The Giving Movement, you're doing some good too. Cafes in stores? This isn't the first time an apparel brand has launched a cafe or a cafe pop-up inside their stores. These fun activations are great to keep the buzz around the store up, and several names have jumped on that bandwagon. Kate Spade and Coach both did pop-up cafes in their stores for limited periods of time only. Both the pop-ups were located in the Bloomingdales in The Dubai Mall, and served uber chic themed coffee and treats. Tiffany & Co officially opened their iconic Blue Box Café in Dubai Mall earlier last year, the only Blue Box Café in the Middle East and the fourth around the whole world. This one isn't a pop-up, and you can still visit for a chic meal anytime of the day. The American fashion designer, Ralph Lauren, brought a dash of New York chic to Dubai with a luxe café brand, Ralph's Coffee. Located at the Mall of the Emirates, the photogenic café is attached to Polo Ralph Lauren on the first floor of the mall. @thegivingmovement Images: Supplied > Sign up for FREE to get exclusive updates that you are interested in
