Summer\u2019s in full swing, and with a long weekend on the horizon, your plans deserve an upgrade.<\/p>\n

From serene poolside afternoons and Mediterranean-inspired long lunches to a little self-care time, this GRAZIA weekend guide has your long weekend sorted.<\/p>\n

Transport yourself to a new era<\/h3>\n
<\/blockquote>\n

Perched high above DIFC, 1920 is one of those hidden gems that feels like you\u2019ve stepped straight into The Great Gatsby,<\/em> minus the drama. Inspired by the glamour of the Roaring Twenties, this cocktail lounge brings together old-school elegance, Art Deco interiors, and some of the best skyline views in Dubai. It\u2019s the kind of place where you sip beautifully crafted cocktails \u2013 think crisp spritzes, rare champagnes, and vintage-style classics. The menu is playful but refined, with small bites like truffle croque monsieur, oysters, and luxe little canap\u00e9s that are perfect for grazing between drinks. As the night rolls in, the space fills with live music, DJ sets, and that effortlessly cool energy Dubai\u2019s after-dark scene does so well. If you love your evenings with a touch of old-world charm, 1920 is worth knowing about.<\/p>\n

Early morning Pilates SESSION<\/h3>\n
<\/blockquote>\n

Nestled in the heart of Al Quoz, Brrn Barre is a boutique pilates studio that redefines the way we move, offering reformer classes and their signature hot cardio barre. Each class is designed to lengthen, tone, and transform. It\u2019s where high energy meets exceptional form, and every pulse is felt. Whether you’re stepping into your strength or craving a quiet reset, Burn Barre is your space to move with purpose. You’ll leave feeling just a little more unstoppable.<\/p>\n

Escape Dubai (without actually escaping Dubai)<\/h3>\n
<\/blockquote>\n

If you’re not actually escaping Dubai, then a visit to MiMi Mei Fair may just scratch that itch. The famed London restaurant, now in Dubai, is inviting you on a culinary escape with MiMi\u2019s Passport to Flavour \u2013 a four-course tasting menu paired with bespoke cocktails, launching June 1 for Dhs388 per person. Inspired by the travels of the ever-curious Empress MiMi, this dining experience captures the essence of four iconic destinations through vibrant flavours and playful pairings. From the floral elegance of Hong Kong to the spice-laden streets of Singapore, each course is a passport stamp of its own. Think crispy salt & pepper squid with a sake-lychee spritz, indulgent Peking duck bao balanced by a spicy tomato-chilli margarita, and bold chilli prawns offset with a zingy shochu martini. Whether you’re after flavour, fun or a little fantasy, MiMi\u2019s Passport to Flavour is your ticket to travel without leaving Dubai.<\/p>\n

Pamper yourself<\/h3>\n
<\/blockquote>\n

This long weekend, why not take a little moment for yourself? And GRAZIA has just the place to do it. Tucked inside Atlantis The Royal, ALKEMY Salon is where luxury meets intention. Billed as the world\u2019s first independent carbon-neutral salon, ALKEMY blends sustainability, spiritual rituals, and expert treatments into one seamless, soul-soothing experience. From the moment you take your seat, the vibe shifts: a cleansing scent sets the tone, tensions begin to melt, and you feel held \u2013 energetically and physically. Their signature Caviar Treatment & Blow Out is indulgent, while the Cold Hair Glow & Blow Dry gives that effortless shine. Whether you\u2019re after high-glam or a pared-back refresh, the team is highly intuitive and happy to tailor your session to suit your mood. The treatment finishes with a grounding Palo Santo ritual, so you leave with good hair and good energy.<\/p>\n

cocktail hour at Sexy Fish<\/h3>\n
<\/blockquote>\n

From Mayfair to Miami, Sexy Fish is known for its bold flavours, boundary-pushing design, and a healthy dose of fun. To celebrate a decade of Sexy Fish, the brand unveils its new cocktail menu, simply titled \u2018X\u2019. Launching worldwide on June 27, X will be a global toast to ten years of flair, flavour, and fearless creativity. What to expect: twenty drinks, half cocktails, half mocktails. Each drink draws inspiration from the cultures, collaborations, and iconic moments that have shaped Sexy Fish over the last 10 years, delivering a collection that is as visually stunning as it is complex in flavour. Expect showstoppers like Miso Thirsty, a rich whiskey served with miso, plum, and sesame (a sultry wink at the brand\u2019s famed Japanese whisky collection), or super Magic Monkey, an energetic remix of citrus, gochujang, and coconut, straight from the 2019 archives, Shanghai-style.<\/p>\n
