As hotel partners for the show, Minor Hotel Group properties PER AQUUM Desert Palm and Anantara Dubai The Palm Resort & Spa, along with airline partner Qantas, will be giving away the ultimate prize to viewers.

Fashion Bloggers, Season 2, shadows the lives of five of Australia’s most influential fashion bloggers: Kate Waterhouse; Nadia Fairfax; Amanda Shadforth; Zanita Whittington and Sara Donaldson. The final episode of the second season sees the bloggers take off to Dubai to soak up the stylish destination.
As part of a trendsetting brand that seeks to push boundaries, PER AQUUM Desert Palm welcomed the bloggers who explored the boutique retreat’s LIME Spa as well as the stunning grounds and polo fields and enjoyed afternoon tea on the terrace, all of which they shot in off-the-cuff editorial shoots.
‘The PER AQUUM Life is all about immersive experiences, bold innovation and ground breaking design.

As one of Dubai’s award-winning boutique resorts, PER AQUUM Desert Palm was handpicked for Fashion Bloggers TV and was a natural fit as one of the key hotel partners for the show.
Our guests dare to be different and are all very fashion forward and the hotel reflects the brand’s ethos of naturally modern design so Kate, Sara, Zanita and Nadia felt at home straight away.

We were able to witness their creative talents unfold as they turned our property into a style seeker’s playground, whether they were shooting fashion editorials by the pool or capturing scenic cityscapes on our longboat.
Our remarkable resort, inspired by traditional Thai architecture in an Arabian setting, offered a truly outstanding Dubai experience and we hope we will have a chance to host them again in the near future,’

Julie King, Director – Asia-Pacific Dubai Tourism, believes Fashion Bloggers will encourage a different audience to visit Dubai.
“Dubai is an exciting, glamorous and cosmopolitan city that continually changes and offers many experiences that makes an ideal girls getaway”
Julie King, Director – Asia-Pacific Dubai Tourism
Working with Fashion Bloggers TV to bring Australia’s most popular lifestyle influencers fulfilled a key strategy for us to target the female audience through the lives of these inspirational bloggers.
The episode showcases how accessible Dubai is for Australian females, while highlighting a few of the experiences they can enjoy such as shopping, spa treatments, afternoon tea, desert adventures, indoor sky-diving and lazy beach days.”
The show will run a social media competition to win a return trip to the style haven, flying premium economy with Qantas.
