Weekend plans, sorted: 9–11 May brings wellness resets, beauty hauls, skyline brunches and jazz-lit seafood—all waiting for you across town. Here are all the exciting things to do in Dubai this weekend.
Sweat, Stretch & Submerge at Plume Studio
Reset after the working week at Plume Studio, Jumeirah 2’s women-only wellness space. This weekend, pre-book its freshly announced therapy menu—sports massages, lymphatic drainage, stress-melting work—opening 15 May. Bundle in an infrared sauna or a bracing ice bath (each Dhs 120) and pencil in a 50-minute treatment for Dhs 390. Your future self will be grateful come Monday.
Bag a Beauty Haul at Gold Apple
Swing into beauty land this weekend (9 – 11 May) at Gold Apple’s brand-new 1,500-sqm playground in City Centre Mirdif. The Russian powerhouse stocks 17,000+ products from 500 labels—Gucci to cult Korean serums—and try-me stations, mini workshops and whippy checkouts turn browsing into a glossy game. Snap up early-bird exclusives.
Check-In for One Last Glow at Glam Hotel
Your weekend beauty ‘staycation’ sits inside City Centre Mirdif—check-out is Sunday night. Glam Hotel, the mall’s pop-up running only until 11 May, transforms the Central Galleria into a lobby of lipsticks and luminisers. Grab the wristband you earn for every Dhs 100 you spend (Carrefour receipts don’t count) and wander beauty ‘rooms’ packed with fragrance bars, skincare labs and selfie mirrors. Book the free evening masterclasses starring Noha Nabil, Dalal Al Doub and other glam gurus. Doors swing 2 pm–9.30 pm.
Breakfast with a View at Third Avenue
Start your Saturday or Sunday on a high note at Third Avenue, perched in The Dubai Mall’s Fashion Avenue. From 10 am–noon, work through a three-course breakfast (pick any three of eight dishes) for just Dhs 89: think zaatar-labneh pide, truffle mille-feuille with scrambled eggs, or lotus French toast. Sip your included coffee, soak up Burj Khalifa and fountain views, then hit the shops nicely fuelled. Terrace tables go fast.
Brunch Above the Clouds at ATTIKO × RITUALS
Swap your usual brunch for a sky-high wellness session this Saturday, 10 May, at ATTIKO Dubai. From 1–4 pm, share Pan-Asian plates, sip four sugar-free mocktails and vibe to a live DJ while soaking up Dubai Harbour views. The Wellness Brunch costs Dhs 325 (Dhs 445 with drinks). Limited-edition dates run all month—catch the first one now.
Seafood & Sunset at Sur.Dubai
Slide into Uptown Tower’s Atrium Level 2 for Sur.Dubai’s coastal vibes. Friday and Saturday crescendo with live jazz-to-soul sets from 8 pm, soundtrack to Aegean-style ceviche, sushi and iced rakı spritzes. On Sunday, swap late brunch for “Chillingir Pazar Rakısı”: endless meze—haydari, smoky eggplant, marinated seafood—and the anise kick of rakı wrapped in nostalgic Turkish hits. Ladies, come Tuesday from 7 pm for three complimentary cocktails and Mediterranean bites.
