As we step into a new month this weekend, Dubai lights up with fashion activations, new tantalising menus and even some masterclasses.
Whether you’re looking for a health-centred morning or a night of dancing and drinks, this GRAZIA-approved guide bring you all the best things to do in Dubai this weekend.
Staying booked and busy, for the homebodies and the social butterflies we have some noteworthy options for you.
Sky-high dining
As the hotter weather has arrived, alfresco dining is a thing of the past for the next few months. But this means it’s the perfect time to visit all of the top indoor dining spots across the emirate – and the first on your list has to be sky-high spot At.mosphere. Located in the Burj Khalifa on the 122nd floor, sitting 442m above ground, this venue is a world record breaking spot, officially taking the title of the highest restaurant in the world. While the views are impressive, so is the cuisine. With a French-inspired menu that is refreshed on a regular basis, each visit to At.mosphere offers a different taste. If you’re looking a fine-dining experience opt for the restaurant side, but if you’re seeking a more casual drinks and light bites vibe, the At.mosphere lounge is the ideal spot. Whatever the occasion, a visit to the highest restaurant in the world will always be a special one.
Marc Jacobs Pop-Up
A brand for the fashion defiers, Marc Jacobs has long been a favourite within the industry’s cool girls. Expanding its UAE footprint, the streetstyle-staple label brings its signature ever-loved pieces, alongside some new it-launches, to the Mall of Emirates. Visit the limited-time-only Dubai pop-up this weekend, to secure the season’s sought-after “The Sack” bag before it’s on everyone’s feed and shoulders, at all-encompassing Harvey Nichols.
New Line-up at RASPOUTINE Dubai
From R&B to house to pop, RASPOUTINE Dubai has always delivered on a plethora of options for our weekend nights out. Perfect for friend groups that listen to a whole medley of genres, their newest DJ series brings exciting names from across the globe. This Friday will spotlight DJ Seth Troxler and DJ Paul Blondet in the stunning moody velvet room, bringing tunes across Ibiza, Detroit, and Berlin all night long. While Saturday night will feature the energising Lebanese/American Rony Seikaly who will have the space illuminated with his always-dynamic set.
A French Apéritif
Refined and elevated, the contemporary brasserie Eugène Eugène has added a refreshing dine-in menu at its enchanting location. Filled with tinkly warm lights and engulfing greenery, the mesmerising space will offer a set menu of cocktails and gourmet appetisers from 4-7pm starting this Saturday. Priced at Dhs110 per person, head to the Mall of Emirates for a transporting French indulgence with this summertime escape.
BEACHSIDE BLISS
Make the most of the (somewhat) bearable weather with a day SĀN. One of GRAZIA’s favourite beach clubs in Dubai, it ticks all the best beach day boxes – luxurious loungers, chilled-out tunes, poolside cocktails, delicious sushi platters and bites, and on-point interiors included. Whether you tuck yourself away in the gorgeous restaurant and sip on a chic iced latte or sipping on a frozen margarita with your feet in the sand is more your vibe, you’ll never want to leave.
The New Balance Grey Days Pop-Up
If you’re on the hunt for edgy yet friendly trainers, the limited-time-only New Balance pop-up has some exclusive bits and pieces to get your hands on. Open until June 4, this weekend might be the last chance for Dubai residents to secure the latest Grey Day line pieces. Also located in the MoE, you can shop the trendy 550’s, the runner’s favourite WRPD, and some athleisure apparel as well.
A Caribbean Brunch
Summertime class for Caribbean escapes, filled with vibrant music, colourful ambience and, of course, deliciously flavourful foods. Transporting you to the island’s blue waters, Miss Lily’s Saturday summer brunches are officially back. From chart-topping afrobeats, to dancehall, and some soulful RnB, dig into a plate of jerk chicken and oxtail, while you ‘whine’ your post-bunch blues away.
Sorting out the Mane
Nursing your hair back to pristine health, the global mane favourite Olaplex has some new drops that continue your locks revival. From hair masks to conditioners, one product specifically has been known to leave your locs glistening and glossy. Now offered in 2 sizes, the No 7 Bonding Oil is proven to incline your hair shine by 125% and starts at Dhs 143. Boosting vibrancy and reducing frizz, you can shop the premium haircare holy grail through the GCC-based beauty and hair site Eideal.
