Illuminate Your Senses: Loya – A New Sustainable Candle Brand Launches in the UAE

A new era of luxury fragrance has arrived with the launch of Loya, a premium candle brand born in the UAE. Blending artisanal craftsmanship with sustainable practices, Loya promises to light up homes and outdoor dining spaces.

Each candle is hand-poured using natural wax, lead-free wicks, and carefully selected organic ingredients. A standout feature of the brand is its use of real coffee beans, known not only for their rich, comforting aroma but also for their natural ability to repel flies and mosquitoes, everyone’s worst nightmare whilst dining al fresco.

“As an avid restaurant and food lover, I adore dining outdoors, but I always struggled with mosquitoes and flies, especially in some of my favourite alfresco spots,” said Olivera Saponjac, founder of Loya. “I created Loya not only to bring beauty and fragrance into people’s homes, but also to solve this everyday problem I face with unwanted diners joining me! Our candles are not just decorative—they’re designed to create a serene, insect-free ambiance wherever you are.”

The collection includes a range of signature scents presented in reusable and recyclable locally sourced pots, perfect for gifting or elevating your home décor. With a commitment to sustainability, every Loya candle is crafted to be clean-burning, eco-conscious and beautifully designed.

Coffee and Frankincense oil will be the signature scents, but we are having lots of fun in our atelier trying out other recipes which will be rolled out later this year says Saponiac.

Loya is now available for purchase online, with shipping across the UAE and the GCC.
