Another week of 9-to-5 passes and we’re finally back to planning and spending for some much-deserved leisure in Dubai.
Scouring through the city, the GRAZIA team, as per usual, brings you the perfect weekend infused with a little bit of everything.
From the much-needed R&R, luxury escapes, and the latest pop-ups, there’s something (maybe everything) in this list for you.
A day out with Bâoli
Starting the weekend on a high note, J1 Beach’s latest addition to their roster of beach clubs has finally opened. Taking a spin on French leisure with South-East Asian influences, Bâoli, nestled in Jumeirah, is the place to be for a taste of something new. As the season finally cools, a day basking by the poolside on their Sundeck paired with uber laid-back brunches to dinner by Chef Omar Basiony is already a dream in itself.

For the fashion-forward
For the girls in need of a little wardrobe change, head to the no-stranger-to-grunge Turkish brand Les Benjamins’ exclusive pop-up at SO/Uptown. Back again in a new light with the season must-haves, Les Benjamins unveils yet another bold statement-making collection. Introducing a capsule collection dedicated to the brimming city of Dubai, the collection blends the brand’s heritage and the hotel’s modernist chic energy in a curated selection of textures, deep saturated prints, and calculated trims and pleats.
GET YOUR GLOW ON
Sun got your skin feeling dull and dehydrated? Say goodbye to beach-day woes with the HELEO4 Skin Cellular Detox Facial at Evolution Aesthetics Clinic. This cutting-edge treatment goes beyond the surface, detoxing your skin on a cellular level for a complete facial refresh. Imagine: your skin rejuvenated from the inside out, with a healthy glow just in time for the holiday season. Combining a deep cleanse with advanced photosensitising skincare and LED light technology for supercharged results, you can expect a visible reduction in pigmentation and wrinkles and enhanced collagen production and skin elasticity. Even better? While the mask works its magic, you’ll enjoy a relaxing hand massage to melt away any lingering stress. Sold.
Golden Hour sundowners
This season, the GRAZIA team is soaking up as much outdoor time as possible – and we may have just found our new favourite spot for golden hour sunsets. Aptly named Sunset 55°, the beachfront lounge at Waldorf Astoria, is a must-visit this winter season. This relaxed spot now boasts a chic bohemian style, cosy sofa loungers, intimate fire pits and an Instagram-worthy photo spot that perfectly frames the stunning sunsets over Palm Jumeirah. The revamped space also features exciting new additions like a DJ booth and a stylish bar, setting the mood for unforgettable sundowners. The highlight? Two exclusive VIP nooks near the water’s edge, complete with double day beds, wrap-around sofas, and private fire pits—ideal for a cosy and luxurious evening by the shore.

A Coco Chanel Pop-Up
Topping the weekend with a lavish pop-up, head to Dubai Mall’s Grand Atrium to catch a glimpse and experience its latest fine jewellery collection, Coco Crush Story until November 24, 2024.

And while you absorb the intricate designs of the collection and the Première Édition Originale Watch, in-house staff will help you pick your next Chanel bling.
