Less tax, more luxury: millionaires flock to Dubai
Rich people are flocking to Dubai in record numbers, drawn to the desert city by its zero income tax policy and easy luxury lifestyle that has become harder to maintain elsewhere. The United Arab Emirates and particularly Dubai have long welcomed wealthy people from nearby countries, and people helping millionaires to move there told AFP it is seeing more Westerners joining the fray. Advisory firm Henley & Partners estimates that the UAE will attract an unprecedented 9,800 millionaires this year -- more than anywhere else in the world. The tightly-policed UAE has moulded itself into a magnet for the wealthy, offering economic and political stability with extremely low crime rates, an easygoing business environment and even easier access to luxury. The Gulf state's golden visa scheme, meant to attract wealthy or skilled foreigners, allows individuals to obtain a 10-year residence permit. Mike Coady, who heads Skybound Wealth Management, an advisory firm for high-net-worth individuals, said some of his clients "feel like success has become a liability in their home countries". "They're being taxed more, scrutinised more, and offered less," he said, but in Dubai, "wealth isn't hidden, it's normalised". "In London, my clients whisper about their net worth. In Dubai, they can live freely." A top destination for flashy influencers, Dubai has become synonymous with over-the-top displays of wealth. It is home to an enormous mall with an indoor ski area, the world's tallest building, and the Palm -- an artificial island dotted with five-star hotels. The rapid development into a world-leading playground for the rich has been met with criticism over gross inequalities as armies of low-paid migrant workers form the backbone of the economy. - 'Very little red tape' - Coady said his relocating clients were mostly professionals in their 30s and 40s, including tech founders, second-generation business owners, consultants and fund managers. One of them is the 42-year-old founder of a cloud software company who, fearing capital gains tax on its sale, had moved to the UAE from Britain -- now a leading exporter of millionaires. Some are pushed out by a stricter taxation policy for people with "non-dom" status -- those who live in Britain but whose permanent domicile is abroad and had benefitted from no tax on income earned outside the country. Put together with other looming changes to taxation and inheritance rules, and what Coady called "increasing anti-wealth rhetoric", Britain is expected to lose a record 16,500 millionaires this year, according to Henley & Partners. The most high-profile departee this year, billionaire John Fredriksen, told Norwegian media he was moving to the UAE because "Britain has gone to hell". Speaking on the "Building Wealth With No Borders" podcast about his move to Dubai, Max Maxwell, CEO of Paddco Real Estate, said: "We're all chasing a lifestyle, whatever that means to everybody." The self-described "serial entrepreneur" explained that after leaving the United States for the UAE, he found his family could enjoy "a better lifestyle than where we were" for the same amount of money. Philippe Amarante, of Henley & Partners in Dubai, said the wealthy seek to maintain their fortunes and lifestyle, and the ability to do business with "very little red tape". And the UAE has positioned itself "with a very clear and simple message: we are open for business", said Amarante. To Coady's clients, "the UAE fits like a glove," he said. - 'Buy a whole building' - The inflow of rich foreigners has not been without controversy, however. Emirati authorities have cracked down on money laundering after the UAE was put on a global "grey list" in 2022 over concerns about murky financial transactions and a flood of Russian money, as wealthy Russians flocked to the Gulf after the Ukraine invasion to escape crippling sanctions at home. The UAE has also extradited some wanted individuals, including drug barons, reversing the grey listing. The wealthy from all over the world are now taking their families, businesses and private offices with them to Dubai, "which is something new", said Faisal Durrani, head of Middle East research at Knight Frank real estate consultancy firm. Dubai is already one of the world's top 20 cities with the most millionaires, home to 81,200 of them as well as 20 billionaires, according to Henley & Partners. Overtaking New York and London combined, 435 homes worth $10 million or more were sold in Dubai last year -- making it the busiest market for high-end properties, relatively affordable in the UAE compared to the West, Durrani said. He said buyers from places such as Monaco and Switzerland would come to the company seeking a Dubai apartment for $100 million, for example. "But in Dubai, for that price, you could buy a whole building." aya/ami/csp/rsc Error in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data

Hospitality Job Openings Show Uneven Trends for Arts & Food Service To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: While Arts, Entertainment, and Recreation (AER) is adding jobs and expanding openings, Accommodation and Food Services (A&FS) is slowing after a strong May hiring period. Overall, the sector remains more active than a year ago, with continued demand for workers and ongoing voluntary turnover. Job openings In June 2025, openings in AER increased sharply from May, while openings in A&FS dropped after a seasonal hiring peak. The overall leisure and hospitality sector remains above June 2024 levels despite the slowdown. Subsector June 2024 May 2025 June 2025p Change May → June Arts, Entertainment & Recreation 129,000 137,000 181,000 +32.1% Accommodation& Food Services 777,000 1,062,000 754,000 −29.0% Leisure & Hospitality Total 906,000 1,199,000 935,000 −22.0% AER's openings climbed by 44,000 in June, showing growing demand for talent, while A&FS openings fell by 308,000, slightly below last year's level, indicating a return to normal hiring after a seasonal surge. Hiring activity Hiring followed a similar pattern. Overall, leisure and hospitality hires remain above June 2024 levels, even though June 2025 saw a slight decline from May. Subsector June 2024 May 2025 June 2025p Arts, Entertainment & Recreation 139,000 205,000 163,000 Accommodation & Food Services 623,000 923,000 817,000 Leisure & Hospitality Total 762,000 1,128,000 980,000 The data show that even with fewer hires than in May, employers in both subsectors are still actively filling positions. AER hiring remains robust, reflecting expansion in the sector, while A&FS hiring is still elevated compared with last year despite the month-over-month pullback. Turnover Voluntary quits remain the largest driver of separations in hospitality. Most workers are leaving by choice rather than being laid off, signaling ongoing competition for talent across the industry. Subsector Quits Layoffs/discharges Other separations Total separations AER 74,000 60,000 6,000 140,000 A&FS 709,000 99,000 16,000 823,000 Leisure & Hospitality Total 783,000 159,000 22,000 963,000 This table underscores that voluntary quits account for about 81% of total separations in June 2025. Employers in both subsectors should focus on retention strategies, such as predictable scheduling and advancement opportunities, while continuing to recruit for hard-to-fill roles. The June 2025 data highlight a split in the leisure and hospitality labor market. Arts and Entertainment is expanding its job openings, while food service is normalizing after a seasonal peak. Despite the slowdown in A&FS openings, overall hiring and separations remain higher than in June 2024, reflecting strong ongoing labor demand and continued worker mobility. Employers can use these insights to plan recruitment and retention strategies as the summer season progresses.

Inside Look: Four Seasons Hotel At The Surf Club Review
A s one of the country's most popular vacation destinations, there's no shortage of great places to stay across greater Miami, including staples like South Beach, Wynwood, Brickell and Coconut Grove. During a conference in town, I checked out the enclave of Surfside, located on a barrier island about 20 minutes north of Miami Beach. Surfside has gained popularity as a relaxed, upscale and more residential area of the city, featuring family-friendly beaches, fine dining and glitzy boutiques. What brought me to the area, however, was the Four Seasons Hotel At The Surf Club, commonly referred to as the best domestic property in the brand's portfolio—and one of the country's finest hotels. Read my full review below. Peacock Alley at the Four Seasons Hotel At The Surf Club. Four Seasons Hotel At The Surf Club Who Will Love It: Couples; families; multi-generational groups; those who want to be close to great beaches and shopping but removed from the crowds All-Star Amenities: Three pools; direct beach access; beachfront gardens; spa; fitness center; three restaurants; Champagne Bar; complimentary morning coffee and pastries in Peacock Alley What Not To Miss: Dinner at Lido Location: Surfside, Florida Upon arrival, my first impression of Four Seasons Hotel At The Surf Club was its discreet elegance. Tucked away behind a gate on posh Collins Avenue, the hotel's public spaces are filled with coral-stoned steps, terracotta floors, grandiose vaulted ceilings and leafy palm trees lining its skylight-beamed lobby, known as Peacock Alley. Its peaceful surroundings are reminiscent of a 1960s hacienda, with modern touches—like a Champagne trolley at the check-in desk and tables lined with art and décor-themed books—that blend the past and the present. Outdoor pool and cabanas at the Four Seasons Hotel At The Surf Club. Four Seasons Hotel At The Surf Club Before it became a Four Seasons hotel, the building itself—know as The Surf Club—had a storied past. Opened in 1930, the Mediterranean Revival structure was once a social club known for revelrous late night gatherings with the likes of Henry Ford and Winston Churchill; Frank Sinatra and Ava Gardner later honeymooned here. I spent my first hour on property strolling the public spaces and taking plenty of photos before throwing on a swimsuit and checking out the hotel's plentiful pool options: one for families, one for adults and one flanked by (air-conditioned) cabanas. On the final day of my conference, I treated myself to an excellent Surf Club Signature massage at the hotel's spa, overlooking Biscayne Bay. As a travel editor who has stayed in dozens of Four Seasons properties over the course of my career, my room at Four Seasons At The Surf Club ranks among one of my very favorites. It's not hard to do a beachfront room in a tropical destination—all hotels know that guests are seeking prime views—but my Oceanfront King room stood out for its spacious, modern feel that felt both residential and otherworldly. Upon opening the door, all I could see was turquoise blue; its sea views were so all-encompassing that it felt as if I were sleeping directly on the ocean. Oceanfront King room at the Four Seasons Hotel At The Surf Club. Four Seasons Hotel At The Surf Club The room was comprised of a tasteful palette of cream and jade, an extension of the shades of the sea. At 735 square feet, the space was well-proportioned and featured high-tech touches like bedside USB chargers, a 65-inch flatscreen HDTV and a tablet that was used to control the room's temperature and drapes. It felt almost criminal to use the blackout curtains feature to hide the room's incredible ocean views, but it was all worth it to enjoy some of the most restful sleep of a hectic week in a truly pitch-black room. Food And Beverage The hotel is home to three restaurants. The casual Winston's on the Beach serves up grilled fare, while Lido focuses on Italian and Mediterranean favorites. And The Surf Club is the property's Michelin-starred restaurant helmed by Thomas Keller, which bills itself as 'Continental cuisine' and features a wide range of European favorites like foie gras and loup de mer Provençale (a Provençal-style fish). On my first evening dining here, I ate my weight in delectable crab cakes and thankfully had enough room left for the star of the show: the prime beef short rib wellington, which was expertly cooked and topped with a périgourdine sauce. Lido Restaurant at the Four Seasons Hotel At The Surf Club. Four Seasons Hotel At The Surf Club On my last evening, I nabbed a table at Lido, located off the hotel's main Peacock Alley and complete with the same vaulted ceilings and greenery but with emerald dining chairs and sapphire blue water glasses for pops of color. I enjoyed some burrata alongside the 'mezzi pacheri a la Lido,' a short and wide pasta noodle bathed in tomato sauce and parmigiano-reggiano. It was made perfectly al dente and paired with a glass of Barbera. Right outside of Lido, the Champagne Bar was packed with well-heeled locals and visitors enjoying bespoke cocktails and a robust menu of bubbles; in true Miami fashion, the music and laughter continued late into the night. What Not To Miss It bears repeating that the property's public spaces, all filled with contemporary art, photographs and coffee table books, beckon guests to truly appreciate their surroundings. In the mornings before heading down to the Miami Convention Center for my conference, I woke up early to grab a freshly brewed cup of coffee and a pastry—both complimentary in the hotel's Peacock Alley—and perched on a chair to absorb the historic atmosphere, surrounded by lush palms. In a bustling city like Miami, it's an uncommon escape that truly feels special. How To Get There Four Seasons Hotel At The Surf Club is located at the halfway point between two airports, making it convenient to get to from both. The property is about a 30-minute drive from Miami International Airport (MIA), and about a 40-minute drive from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL).
