Complimentary Sound Healing at Talise Spa, Jumeirah Al Qasr
Start Saturday with something that costs nothing. Talise Spa at Jumeirah Al Qasr is offering a complimentary morning sound healing session on April 11. It is a rare chance to walk into one of Dubai’s most well-known spa properties without a reservation fee attached. If you have been meaning to try sound healing, this is the weekend to actually do it.
Late Breakfast and the Homegrown Market Pop-Up at HEAL, Umm Suqeim

After your morning at the spa, head to HEAL in Umm Suqeim for a late breakfast paired with a Homegrown Market pop-up happening the same day. HEAL is a wellness-focused café and space that has been popular in the neighbourhood for a while now, and the market pop-up adds a local shopping element to what would otherwise just be a breakfast stop. Good food, local finds, and a neighbourhood that actually has character.
Saturday Afternoon and Evening: The Day Gets Better
Afternoon Picnic at Al Habtoor Polo Club, Al Habtoor Polo Resort
Fetching content
If you want something different for Saturday afternoon, the Al Habtoor Polo Club has a picnic experience available at the resort. Watching polo in Dubai is one of those things that sounds very specific but is genuinely a good afternoon. The setting at Al Habtoor Polo Resort is wide, green, and completely different from the usual weekend crowd.
Dinner at the New Iris Harbour, Dubai Harbour
Fetching content
Cap Saturday night with dinner at the new Iris Harbour in Dubai Harbour. Iris has been a recognisable name in Dubai’s dining scene for years, and this new location comes with the waterfront setting that Dubai Harbour is known for. Skyline views, a well-established concept, and a spot that is going to be busy, so plan accordingly.
Sunday April 12: End the Dubai Weekend Right
Daycation at Nikki Beach Resort and Spa, Pearl Jumeirah

Sunday is for the beach. Nikki Beach Resort and Spa on Pearl Jumeirah is running a daycation setup on April 12, which means you get the pool, the beach, and the whole resort experience without staying overnight. Nikki Beach is an internationally recognised brand with locations worldwide, and the Pearl Jumeirah spot is one of Dubai’s more scenic beach club settings.
Sunset Brunch at Harbor by Samakjé, Palm Jumeirah Mall
Fetching content
Close out the weekend with the sunset brunch at Harbor by Samakjé at Palm Jumeirah Mall. Samakjé is a seafood-forward restaurant concept, and the Harbor location gives you an outdoor rooftop setting timed perfectly for Sunday golden hour. This is the kind of brunch that makes Monday feel far away.
