Weekends in Dubai are never basic. Whether you’re looking for a little retail therapy in Dubai Mall, maybe dabble in pilates, or take a much-needed break at the beach club, Dubai has it all.
Bringing you a round-up of can’t-miss spots, GRAZIA has handpicked everything worth your time this weekend.
Jil Sander’s first boutique lands in the Middle East
Jil Sander is making its mark in the Middle East. Opening its first boutique here in the region in Dubai’s Mall of the Emirates, the space is just as dreamy as you’d expect, complete with the latest pieces by the fashion house, including the Middle Eastern exclusive Goji bag.
Soak up the sun
Soak up the sun in serious style at Nobu by the Beach located at Atlantis The Royal. It’s where laidback luxury meets iconic Nobu flair – think chic cabanas, signature cocktails, and a menu of Japanese-Peruvian bites and shareable plates that are almost too pretty to eat (almost). Whether you’re here for a leisurely lunch or a full day of poolside indulgence, this is your new go-to escape. The beach club is open daily from 10am to 7pm with sunbed prices starting from Dhs295 and the restaurant is open from 11.30am to 11.30pm.
A touch of Japanese cuisine
Of course, the weekend wouldn’t be complete without a little Japanese. The renowned restaurant Mimi Kakushi is the place to be to indulge in an eclectic menu of Japanese flavours. This weekend on April 12 and next weekend on April 19, Mimi Kakushi and Moët & Chandon are collaborating for a new exclusive brunch experience. To complement the restaurant’s tantalising dishes, a bespoke Moët & Chandon Champagne dispenser will take centre stage, where indulgers can pair their platters with exquisite champagne. The three-hour brunch packages are priced from Dhs450 (non-alcoholic inclusive of mocktails) to Dhs765 per person (inclusive of Moët et Chandon Imperial Brut).
Strech & Sip at Onda
The It-girl spot for the girls who love matcha is turning your weekend into a time steeped in rejuvenation. This weekend, on April 13, 2025, from 6pm to 8pm, the cafe has collaborated with Smart And Hot Club for a 360 wellness regimen. Paired with Onda’s signature drinks and a side of Pilates, the session will be led by Niamh, the founder of The Pilates Collective. Priced at Dhs280, you can get a cup of matcha (with snacks), a mat Pilates session and a few goodies to take home.
Spot the Pink Moon in the Desert
For those who love the moon and the stars, April’s first celestial event, the Pink Moon, will take place on April 13, 2025.
