If perhaps your nervous system has taken a bit of hit during this time, then take this weekend to try and have a reset.
Whether you enjoy a moment of pause in a beauty treatment, fancy an escape from skyscrapers or would rather inwardly reflect with a wellness session, this weekend GRAZIA brings you an edit of activities to bring the calm and embrace the soft life.
A day to reconnect and recharge
Take a day this weekend to reconnect and recharge at the Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach. The popular hotel has launched a Day Retreat Pass for Dhs800 with a focus on rejuvenation. For a full day, guests will have access to the hotel’s gym, a 60-minute massage and a relaxing day at the pool and beach, along with Dhs150 food and beverage credit to savour during the visit. For those seeking just to relax pool or beachside, opt for the package at Dhs500 per person, with the full amount redeemable on food and beverages throughout the day. And if you’re just looking for a relaxing lunch (or brunch), head to Jou Jou Brasserie to indulge in a series of Mediterranean-inspired dishes from 1pm to 4pm (prices start from Dhs485 per person with non-alcoholic beverages) and then relax by the pool or the beach for the remainder of the day.
Sound healing for the soul
All weekend long, Sohum Wellness Sanctuary has a number of sound healing sessions running. In particular, on Sunday, March 15, the wellness hotspot is hosting a new moon sound and manifesting ritual starting at 7.30pm, priced at Dhs235. See the centre’s full schedule here.
Awaken the senses
Awaken your senses (quite literally) at the AWAKEN Spa at Atlantis, The Palm and Atlantis The Royal this weekend, with 26 per cent off signature spa experiences. From ice baths to hammam to signature treatments, including a 24-karat gold stone massage, chakra rebalancing and hypno-healing, this is one not to pass up.
A meaningful pause staycation
This week, escape the city skyscrapers and head to the coast for a moment of relaxation by the sea. Encouraging a “meaningful pause” the Mandarin Oriental Jumeira is inviting guests to unwind at their own pace for a two-day stay with up to 20 per cent off the best available rate (starting from Dhs1,320 excluding taxes). The resort has panoramic views of the Arabian Gulf and the Dubai skyline, which in itself offers a pause for the mind. Indulge in one of the resort’s beloved restaurants including Japanese cuisine at Netsu, beachfront dining at Casa Amor or Mediterranean favourites at Tasca. And for those wanting to take it that step further, opt for a treatment at The Spa – the tranquil wellness sanctuary of the resort. For those seeking some simple respite for the day, opt for the day experience priced at Dhs1,200 for couples where you’ll enjoy access to a superior or deluxe room from 9am to 6pm. Unwind by the pool or the beach throughout the day and indulge in exquisite cuisine at one of the in-house restaurants or avail a spa treatment with the Dhs300 dining and spa credit per couple. Want to amp it up in relaxation? Opt for the Dayluxe experience priced at Dhs2,500 per couple, where you can indulge in all the Mandarin Oriental Jumeira has to offer until 11pm.

Refresh and revitalise your skin
This Ramadan, SISTERS Beauty has introduced the exclusive Age Defy Facial, a results-driven treatment designed to restore radiance and resilience to the skin. Created in partnership with science-led QMS Medicosmetics, the 60-minute experience focuses on deep hydration, collagen stimulation and improved firmness, leaving the complexion visibly smoother and plumped. Rooted in renewal, the ritual mirrors the season’s spirit of reflection and self-care, offering a restorative pause amid busy schedules. Available up until March 18 across all five UAE locations, it is a tailored, high-performance facial that delivers clinically inspired results with a sensorial, salon-luxury touch – just in time for Eid glow.

A change of scenery
If you’re craving a change of scenery without leaving the UAE, these luxury staycations offer the perfect excuse to check in for the weekend. From 20 per cent off secluded desert villas at Al Maha, a Luxury Collection Desert Resort & Spa, to 20 per cent off dining and 50 per cent off spa treatments at Le Méridien Al Aqah Beach Resort, there are plenty of ways to unwind for less. In Dubai, enjoy 20 per cent savings on stays and dining at JW Marriott Marquis or 20 per cent off spacious suites at Dubai Marriott Harbour Hotel & Suites. A quick escape, with generous perks included.
A beauty ritual
Indulge in a beauty and wellness ritual this weekend at Privé7, located in Dubai near the Burj Al Arab and at The Galleria Mall, Abu Dhabi. From a Japanese manicure, which strengthens the natural nail plate while enhancing shine without polish, priced at Dhs270, to an Icoone Lymphatic treatment to support lymphatic circulation and fluid retention to a botanical ritual to help scalp comfort and balance, there are a plethora of offers to avail at Privé7.
