Is it Thursday yet?
From Father’s Day escapes to a Burberry pop-up and Jamaican brunch, this is how you should be spending your weekend in Dubai and beyond.
Shop like a VIP
A shopping spree get’s a VIP upgrade when you stay at the Address Dubai Mall. Book your suite direct, slip into your Bottega Veneta mules and enjoy complimentary access to the VIP Lounge at Fashion Avenue in The Dubai Mall.
Gift of nature
Summer makes it hard to be outside but it does’t mean you can’t enjoy the best of mother nature. Throughout June and July, Insta-famous Tania’s Teahouse is welcoming plant donations in exchange for a free tea or coffee, and the best one will win you a meal for four.
Road trip with dad
Make Father’s Day extra memorable by swapping the skyline of Dubai for the dramatic landscape of Ras Al Khaimah. The Garden Grille Terrace & The Pool Bar at Hilton Garden Inn is offering a free brunch to all dads who book for a table of three or more on June 21. All you’ll have to cover is pool access which is just Dhs 119 for the non-alcoholic package, or Dhs 139 for the alcoholic package.
A new classic
To mark the arrival of the new Thomas Burberry Monogram collection, Burberry has opened an immersive pop up installation in Dubai Mall’s Fashion Catwalk atrium. On until June 22, shop men’s and women’s collections that pay tribute to the founder of the heritage brand.
Taste of the Caribbean

Miss Lily’s Friday Blazin’ Brunch is back and is inspired by the flavours of Jamaica. The chef has been busy cooking up new dishes such as feta, cucumber and kaffir lime vinaigrette and watermelon salad, but its the Jamaican Rancheros – a Caribbean take on the iconic Mexican breakfast staple – that really pack the heat.
Head to toe TLC

Treat yourself this weekend and book in for a day of pampering at Zieda Beauty Lounge. Choose from an extensive menu of treatments across face and body, including the popular Balmain hair couture treatment.
Night swimming

Skip the daytime heat and make the most of the golden sunsets at La Ville. The City Walk hotel invites you take a dip after hours in their infinity pool before grabbing food and drinks at the urban rooftop bar, LookUp. Available until September 30 for Dhs 150 that includes a Dhs 100 to spend on the menu.
Jazz night
You’d struggle to find a better evening of jazz music than Q Bar & Lounge at Palazzo Versace Dubai. The venue has recently welcomed Hollywood’s Jazz and Blues singer, Brenna Whitaker, who has a pretty impressive fan list that includes Katy Perry, Stevie Wonder and Justin Bieber. Definitely a great choice for a date night.
Spin for the weekend

If ever felt daunted by an idea of a spin class, then you haven’t tried Flywheel. Located in Burj Views and Gold & Diamond Park, every ride delivers a high-intensity cardio workout in a fun, welcoming, and energetic atmosphere. Trust us, you’ll smile through the burn.
A new staycation spot
You don’t have to be a fan of gold to enjoy a staycay at the newly opened Vida Emirates Hills. The contemporary space offers two dining options, Stage2 for afternoon tea and socialising and Origins that focus on health eating. For the summer they are offering 50% off best available rate (valid for bookings until July 31 for stays until September 30, 2019) so now you have an excuse to pick up those golf clubs.
