April in Dubai is basically a vibe. The weather’s still flirting with perfection, the city’s buzzing with events, and your social calendar is about to be busier than Sheikh Zayed Road at 6 pm. Whether you’re chasing sunsets by the beach, snapping selfies under super blooms, or hopping from rooftop brunches to desert adventures – Dubai in April is dishing out experiences hotter than your favorite karak. Let’s make this month unforgett-APRIL!
Leña x Matcha Club
Leña by the legendary Chef Dani García is stepping off the grill and onto the court for a fiery two-night takeover at Matcha Club, Al Qouz – 25th and 26th April – where open-flame finesse meets zen garden vibes. Think of gourmet meat grounded, wood-fired flavors meet wellness-chic, and dining becomes a full-blown performance.
Expect bold bites, smoky perfection, and an atmosphere as curated as the menu — all served under the stars. This is not your average dinner, it’s dinner with serious main character energy, with a prize of AED 650 per person from 7 pm onwards.
Dubai Esports and Games Festival
Ready your controllers and mark your calendars — from 25 April to 11 May 2025, Dubai is going full-on gamer mode for 17 epic days of esports, immersive experiences, and all-out fun!
From thrilling tournaments to next-gen tech showcases and even a massive B2B gaming summit, this is where pixels meet power plays. GameExpo Summit, Education Day, and GameExpo are a must visit. Whether you’re a die-hard gamer, an esports entrepreneur, or a parent who finally wants to understand what a ‘respawn’ is – there’s something here for you.
Leña Launches Bar Nights – A Nightly Affair of Sophistication
Step into the sultry, oak-scented charm of Leña, where the vibe is smooth, the bites are bold, and the nights are unforgettable. Leña Bar Nights, St. Regis Garden, The Palm – slide into a seat at the bar and treat yourself to a handpicked lineup of flavor-packed bites paired with a meticulously crafted cocktail. Think: crispy prawns with Robuchon energy, meatballs that mean business, yakitori wings, and fries that flirt with a price of AED 200.
As the temps start their slow climb, Dubai’s serving you the best of both worlds — sunshine and AC. Whether you’re a certified sun chaser or a shade-loving spa-goer, the city’s got just the thing to match your mood (and your SPF level).
Wave Mania
Hit the beach, strike a pose on a sun lounger, or take the plunge at AquaFun, the city’s massive inflatable waterpark floating right off JBR — complete with 110+ slippery, splashy challenges to conquer. Dive into the mega thrills at Aquaventure or cool classics like Wild Wadi, where the wave machines and water rides bring the fun and the screams.
