WALDORF ASTORIA
The thought of another weekend stuck at home or in the mall enough to drive you crazy? We feel you, which is why we’ll be checking in to the luxurious Waldorf Astoria The Palm for the ultimate staycay. With everything you could possibly need at your fingertips (pristine private beach, temperature-controlled pools, lavish suites and a sumptuous spa included), it’s the perfect place to while away a weekend without getting on a plane. Just be sure to book in for dinner at Lao – the handmade dim sums are not to be missed.
LING LING
Speaking of dim sum, if it’s an Asian feast you’re after, look no further than Ling Ling – aka the place to be seen at right now. From its on-point décor and 180-degree panoramic views of the Palm and Dubai’s skyline to its menu brimming with contemporary Asian dishes (there’s everything from sushi to satay, dumplings to duck fried rice to tempt your tastebuds), there’s no better Saturday night spot. But be warned – once the music goes up, you’ll find yourself staying longer than expected…
