With the weekend on the horizon, there’s never a better time to be in Dubai as the temperature starts to cool, and while the breeze encourages you to slow down and take time to enjoy the moment.
From hidden gems which are perfect for a pause to dining in stylish restaurants that have recently opened, there’s always a mix of indulgences for every mood.
Whether soaking up the atmosphere in stylish venues, exploring exclusive pop-ups, or enjoying the finer things in life, GRAZIA has selected the most enticing ways to spend your weekend to ensure it will be one to remember.
Immerse yourself in the world of Miss Dior Essence
If you’re Dubai-based, this Saturday for one day only, you can immerse yourself in the world of Dior Beauty’s latest launch – Miss Dior Essence. The new iteration of the famed fragrance has made its way to the emirate for an exclusive pop-up in Alserkal Avenue. Fragrance experts will be on hand to walk you through the new scent, and you can also explore the limited edition Miss Dior Fall 2025 Makeup Collection. While you’re at it, make sure to sip on a Miss Dior-branded coffee to complete the experience.
Start your weekend on the right note
Il Gattopardo invites guests to unwind and relax into its signature l’aperitivo hour, held Monday to Friday from 5:00pm to 7:30pm. Guests are treated to complimentary Italian bar bites and classic cocktails such as Bellinis and Negronis, all while taking in the views of the Dubai skyline. The luxurious lounge, with floor-to-ceiling glass windows and a glamorous feel, it’s a perfect escape for after-work cocktails.
GET A GLOW UP
Orskin Clinic is the glow-up secret you need to know about. We’re not talking about your standard facial – this is a full-on wellness experience for your skin. You’ll lie back on a dreamy red LED bed (hello, collagen boost) while massage boots work on your legs, helping with puffiness and circulation. Then, just when you’re fully zen, a therapist gives you the most amazing shoulder and arm massage while your custom mask sets. They tailor everything to what your skin really needs (determined by a clever facial scanner), using everything from the latest lasers to cryo to micro-needling good old-fashioned facial massage. You leave not just with brighter skin, but feeling like you’ve had a mini-retreat.
AN ALL WHITE WEEKEND AFFAIR
One of Dubai’s most talked-about social events returns. The White Party at DRIFT Restaurant is taking place this Saturday October 25 from 12pm. In collaboration with the premium French Champagne house, Bollinger, guests are invited to indulge in an afternoon filled with champagne, refined French cuisine, and elegant seaside dining. Expect live performances, a cabaret show and music that promises an unforgettable evening. Don’t forget to dress in your finest white outfit for a day of sophistication, flavour and celebration amongst friends.
