Grand Millennium Muscat Brings Women Together Through Wellness, Awareness and Meaningful Experiences This October

Oct 19, 2026



Bawshar, Masqat Oct 19, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - Committed to enriching the lives of its guests and fostering community well-being, Grand Millennium Muscat dedicated October to celebrating women through a thoughtful mix of health, connection and leisure, as part of its annual programme of activities. Bringing together opportunities to learn, look after personal well-being and simply enjoy time together, the hotel presented a month of experiences for women who make Oman extraordinary.

At the heart of the month was the hotel's Pinktober Breast Cancer Awareness initiative, held on 12 October in partnership with the Oman Cancer Association (OCA) and Al Hayat International Hospital. The event created a welcoming space for women to learn more about breast health, ask questions, and take proactive steps towards their well-being.

The programme featured an awareness session led by keynote speaker Dr. Mehza of Al Hayat International Hospital, offering practical insights into breast cancer awareness and the importance of early detection. Attendees also had access to one-on-one health consultations, while complimentary mammogram screenings were available for women aged 40 and above.

The focus on women's well-being continued throughout October in celebration of Omani Women's Day, with the hotel inviting women to make time for themselves, connect with others and enjoy moments of wellness and relaxation.

From October 15 to 22, the hotel offered women a 35% discount on health club memberships, providing an opportunity to make wellness part of their everyday routine. Conveniently connected to Muscat Grand Mall, the hotel's health club offers a setting to incorporate wellbeing into everyday life, with access to a fully equipped gym, swimming pool, steam, sauna and jacuzzi, as well as a rooftop tennis court.

Additionally, for those who preferred a more relaxed approach to wellness, the hotel also extended its Buy One, Get One Ladies Pool Day Pass throughout October as part of its Pinktober programme. Designed to be enjoyed with a friend, the offer encouraged women to step away from the everyday and share a little time by the pool.

The celebration continued around the table at Taybat, where Omani Women's Day became an opportunity to come together over good food and conversation. From October 15 to 17, women could enjoy a Buy 1, Get 1 lunch buffet for OMR 15 net -- an experience designed not simply as a dining offer, but as an invitation to pause, connect and celebrate together.

"October gave us an opportunity to look beyond traditional hospitality and create experiences that genuinely support and celebrate women. Our Pinktober initiative with the Oman Cancer Association reminded us of the importance of awareness, early detection and taking time to prioritise our health, while our Omani Women's Day experiences throughout the month allowed us to celebrate women through wellness, dining and leisure," said Aisha Al Rubhki, Director of Human Resources.

From supporting early detection through the Pinktober partnership with OCA and Al Hayat International Hospital to sharing spaces for movement, relaxation, connection and dining, Grand Millennium Muscat's October programme was about making time for what matters - looking after oneself, connecting with others, and taking a moment to enjoy the journey.

Putting skin recovery at the heart of beauty care

Skin recovery took center stage at a gathering of dermatologists, cosmetic surgeons and aesthetic practitioners in Taguig City, where a discussion on barrier care connected skincare science with the experiences and professional interests of the medical community. Held on October 21 at the Intramuros Tent of Manila House Private Club in Bonifacio Global City, the roundtable discussion brought together the Pan Pacific Aesthetic Institute Foundation, Lamelex, Golden Visa Central and Manila House. Their collaboration provided a setting for scientific learning, professional exchange and conversations about opportunities beyond clinical practice. For the beauty discussion, the emphasis was on caring for the skin barrier, particularly after dermatologic and aesthetic procedures. Dr. Finesse Angelica Evangelista addressed this in her presentation, “The Science of Recovery: Optimizing Barrier Repair in Post-Procedure and Compromised Skin.” Her discussion underscored the importance of skin barrier integrity in supporting recovery. It also placed barrier-focused care within a professional conversation about the needs of skin following procedures or when its condition is compromised. That focus is central to Lamelex’s approach. The brand presented its multi-lamellar vesicle technology, a skincare delivery approach designed to support the skin’s natural barrier structure and in­gre­­­­d­ient delivery. Its professional skincare offe­rings combine formulations and protocols intended for barrier-focused care. The technology formed part of the brand’s showcase, which included professional skincare products, testers, merchandising and educational materials. These gave participants opportunities to explore its approach to skin barrier care alongside the scientific discussion. Medical professionals also received product kits for further exploration and evaluation in their respective practices. Catherine Andres-Gamo, chief exe­cutive officer of Pretty Skin Lamelin Philippines, expanded the conversation from products to advocacy. Sha­ring Lamelex’s commitment to scientific education, skincare innovation and collaboration with the medical community, she encouraged participants to become skin barrier advocates. Her message called for greater awareness of barrier-first skincare in clinical practice, linking the brand’s educational efforts with the professionals who assess and care for patients’ skin. The evening brought that advocacy into direct conversation with dermatologists, cosmetic surgeons and other aesthetic practitioners. The foundation, meanwhile, provided a platform for professional exchange within the aesthetic medical community. Manila House hosted the gathering, bringing professionals from different fields into a shared setting for learning and relationship building. Alongside the skincare discussions, Golden Visa Central founder and president Vicky Luis introduced international investment opportunities and wealth diversification. Her presentation offered participants perspectives on long-term financial planning beyond their clinical work, extending the evening’s scope to their broader professional and personal interests. The gathering linked these different areas through partnerships among the foundation’s leadership, Golden Visa Central, Manila House and the Lamelex team. Each contributed expertise to a forum that combined clinical interests with opportunities for professional growth. For Lamelex, the continuing direction is to build its community of skin barrier advocates through scientific education and continued collaboration with medical professionals. The roundtable provided one setting for that exchange, bringing its products, technology and barrier-care message to practitioners who could explore and evaluate them for use in their respective practices.

Jewelry for every side of a woman

Jewelry for every side of a woman

Jewelry passed from mother to daughter carries more than gemstones and gold. For designer Kristine Dee, it also holds the stories behind each piece, including her mother’s purchase to celebrate a hard-earned business deal. Those personal connections inspire “Modern Heirloom,” one of three chapters in “The Woman Within,” her collection exploring the different sides of a woman through fine jewelry. Its three chapters, “Modern Heirloom,” “Quiet Strength” and “Playful Femininity,” move from sentiment to assurance to joy. Each reflects a side of a woman that Dee has observed in her clients and herself. “They try out other styles which are not their usual, and the choice follows their emotions, what they felt at that time, how that particular jewelry piece made them feel when worn. Each capsule collection shows the different versions we, as women, find ourselves in.” For “Modern Heirloom,” Dee draws on her mother Elizabeth’s practice of passing jewelry to her daughters, along with the memories behind it. Among them is a piece Elizabeth bought after closing a business deal she had worked hard to secure. “It is not just the piece that she shared, but the story that comes with them,” Dee says. That sense of continuity takes shape in classic gemstones and versatile designs. Multicolored sapphire and diamond necklaces hang from substantial gold-ball chains. A pearl necklace features diamonds and a detachable kunzite centerpiece, allowing the wearer to move between dressier and more casual looks. “Quiet Strength” turns toward architecture, emphasizing line, proportion and structure. Smooth gold surfaces, curves and carefully placed diamonds give rings and cuffs their presence. Dee’s background in industrial design informs this attention to form and how a piece sits on the body. “Each millimeter matters,” she says. A softer mood emerges in “Playful Femininity.” Mint tourmaline, pink spinel and diamonds appear in linked elements that sway with the wearer, while a coordinating ring allows for stacking. Elsewhere, a hand-carved mother-of-pearl ribbon flows into waves of rubies and diamonds. Across the collection, gemstones are set in 14-karat and 18-karat white, yellow and rose gold. Many designs bear the names of loyal clients, relatives and friends, extending the personal connections behind the jewelry. For Dee, their place is in everyday wardrobes. Statement necklaces can accompany a tank top and jeans or a dress, while rings and cuffs can be layered to suit the day. “The best way to style fine jewelry for a woman is based on her lifestyle and personality, so she can reach for them day after day, comfortably and confidently, and wear them in more ways than one.” The collection is available at the Kristine Dee showroom in BGC, Taguig City, with resizing and customization offered. A Power Plant Mall pop-up runs from Nov. 7 to Jan. 28, 2027, bringing the collection’s expressions of memory, strength and joy into women’s daily choices.
