And just like that, January comes to a close. Naturally, that calls for a well-deserved weekend reset—one filled with the latest in fashion, luxury, and must-try experiences to step into the new month feeling refreshed.
As always, GRAZIA has done the hard work for you, curating the ultimate weekend itinerary, from fashion pop-ups to indulgent hotspots.
A farm-to-table experience at Eugène Eugène
Of course, we start with a hearty menu for a full weekend. The Dubai It-girl spot Eugène Eugène at Mall of The Emirates just introduced a new à la carte menu celebrating the rich agriculture of the UAE. For the first time ever, they have launched a Farm-to-Table project featuring locally sourced ingredients filled with only the cream of the crop. Highlighting nothing less than top-notch quality, you can expect the usual gusto. The only difference now is the new burst of flavours from the UAE’s agricultural landscape.
SUSHI AL FRESCO
Dubai’s cool evenings are calling, and Sushiyaki‘s stunning waterfront terrace at Madinat Jumeirah is the place to be. Indulge in artfully hand-rolled sushi, sizzling yakitori fresh off the charcoal grill, and a golden-hour glow setting the perfect scene. Whether you’re indulging in melt-in-your-mouth wagyu skewers or exploring the bold flavours of Japanese-Peruvian fusion, every bite is an experience. So, sit back, soak up the vibrant yet serene ambience, sip on a perfectly paired sake, and make the most of Dubai’s dreamy alfresco dining season at one of our favourite Japanese spots.
Dubai Fashion Week Kicks off
Setting the tone for the weekend with all things fashion, Dubai Fashion Week will officially kick off its fourth edition this February 1, 2024. This edition features a week filled with emerging and household brands across France, India, Indonesia, Iraq, Kuwait, Lebanon, Morocco, Russia, Turkey and UAE. Adding more to the buzz, the Fall/Winter 2025 season welcomes a host of well-celebrated Maisons taking their exquisite designs to the runway, such as Paolo Sebastian, luxury streetwear brand Les Benjamins and the legendary Indian couture brand Manish Malhotra.
FEEL THE BURN
We’ve always been fans of Studio14, but their new Motor City location? Game. Changer. This place is seriously chic. Think bespoke, oh-so-gorgeous cream reformers, a wellness cafe serving up super smoothies, and the most beautiful studio you’ve ever seen – complete with starry skies and cloud-adorned ceilings. And that’s not all. They’ve added some seriously snazzy new equipment, including the ultra-sculpting Pilates chair. So, if you’ve yet to stick to your New Year’s resolutions or you’re looking to up your wellness game, book yourself into a reformer Pilates class at Studio14 this weekend. Trust us, your body (and your mind) will thank you.
A New Pop-up Is In Town
Topping the weekend with a lavish pop-up, head to the Mall of The Emirates Fashion Dome, where fans of the pop icon Ariana Grande and the always-exquisite Swarovski have launched their exclusive 16-piece jewellery collection. From rhinestones and crystal embellishments to whimsical tiaras and bracelets, you can officially enter your Ari-era with a few charming blings.
A Sunday grill at Tamoka
When it comes to the grill, you can expect nothing less from Tamoka. Located in The Ritz Carlton, Dubai, the Latin-American-infused menu has added a new slew of brunch offerings. From the fresh prawn ceviche paired with the beachside ambience, there’s no better way to start your Sunday rituals. Prices start at Dhs249 per person for food only. At Dhs349 per person, you can enjoy an array of grilled specialities, including soft beverages. And with the Dhs490 package, you can get wines, spirits, and all soft beverages.
chou chou’s beach day wellness retreat
While you may consider relaxing on Chou Chou’s soft, plush sun beds, the French beach house has dedicated the weekend to helping you hit those gains. Priced at Dhs220 person, Chou Chou has Partnered with Dubai’s all-in-one fitness boutique, MOTION. The French beach house invites you to take a spin (quite literally) on the fitness brands’ activations. From full-body workouts to HIIT and stretching, it’s hitting two birds with one stone.
The First Ramadan Market arrives in Dubai
With Ramadan just around the corner, Dubai has officially started early celebrations with the third edition of the Ramadan Souq. Organised by the Dubai Municipality, the souq, located in the heart of Deira, is here to prep the season’s most exciting celebration with a touch of tradition and culture. From cultural activations to leisure activities, the festivities have surely begun.
A hearty brunch at Jou Jou Brasserie
Head to the Four Seasons Resort at Jumeirah Beach to close the weekend with Jou Jou Brasserie’s most-awaited brunch menu. With every dish served with utmost finesse, the sun-kissed restaurant has yet again prepared a feast for the senses. You can consider your afternoon blissed out with supple and plentiful platters filled with savoury tastes and sweet delicacies. Prices start from Dhs485 per person with in-house beverages.
Shop Chanel’s SS25 Pre-collection
As fresh as it can get, you can officially start copping Chanel’s SS25 pre-collection. Inspired by American singer Gracie Abrah, the collection highlights the soft tones of pastels, delicate touches of pinks and blues, and wardrobe staples of blacks and whites. Coupled with the tweed textures that defined the brand, the denim-turned-innovation interwoven with chain jewellery, and the boyish charm of oversized totes, it’s surely the moment.
