As the sweltering heat has well and truly arrived in the UAE, figuring out how to stay cool can be tricky.
That’s where GRAZIA enters the picture. From indoor escapes to buzzy new dining spots and beauty fixes, there’s still plenty to see, do, and try out with the girls.
GRAZIA has your July calendar sorted with the hottest happenings around town.
A SUITE STAY
For a staycation where the turquoise waters rival a Maldivian postcard, The St. Regis Saadiyat Island is your golden ticket. Wake up to powdery sand and cerulean waves, then indulge in what might just be the most extravagant breakfast spread in the UAE. Two words? Pastry station. Between champagne lounges, award-winning spa, and six seaside restaurants, the only challenge is choosing how to unwind. Swim laps in the glass-walled indoor pool, tee off at the Saadiyat Beach Golf Club, or let your 24/7 butler handle the details while you lounge beneath a cabana. With contemporary-luxe suites (all with private balconies) and the Saadiyat Cultural District minutes away, it’s the perfect blend of secluded paradise and Abu Dhabi’s pulse.
An Omakase Experience
Netsu unveils Wagyu Omakase, a new concept designed for meat lovers and culinary explorers. Made for sharing, the seven-course offering introduces diners to explore a variety of cuts of meat, and is complemented by a selection of paired sides. Each dish is prepared and presented tableside, turning the meal into a fully interactive experience with the Chef. Expect mouthwatering flavours and an experience like never before.
