More Than a Course: Inside the Beautiful Destinations Academy

In 2025, the Beautiful Destinations Academy, powered by Dubai, brought together a new generation of global creators to learn, create, and tell deeper stories — guided by world-class mentors and shaped by real briefs, real locations, and real ambition.

This film is a look inside that journey: the craft, the pressure, the growth, and the moments that changed how these creators see their work — and their futures.

Applications for the next cohort are now open.
Apply by 28 February 2026 to be considered.
