In Dubai, weekends aren’t for staying in. They’re for dressing up, showing out, and living like your phone is always recording. Whether you’re in the mood for a bougie brunch, a skyline adventure, or a chill night with good music and even better lighting, this list has your vibe covered. Vivaan Shenoy lists seven weekend-worthy plans that guarantee a soft life with a side of main character energy.
Brunch at Bungalo34, Pearl Jumeirah
Beachfront views, seafood platters, and that effortless Amalfi Coast vibe. The vibe is soft glam with a side of SPF.
Catch a Sunset at Sky Views Edge Walk
Strap in (literally) and walk along the edge of one of Downtown’s highest towers. Thrill + skyline = main character moment.
Shop the Drop at THAT Concept Store, Mall of the Emirates
High fashion, emerging labels, and sneaker walls worthy of a photoshoot. More than a store, it’s a style destination.
What to wear: Something you wouldn’t mind trying on again in the mirror.
Book a Rooftop Spa Session at Address Sky View
You can get a massage while looking at the Burj Khalifa. Because stress has no place in your weekend.
Take a Vintage Yacht Tour at Dubai Marina
Swap the mega-yacht chaos for something sleek and nostalgic. Sunset cruises on retro-styled boats are the new “soft life” flex.
Dune Bashing + Stargazing in Lahbab Desert
Adrenaline in the day, serenity at night. Book a guided off-road session followed by a traditional camp dinner under the stars.
Dinner and DJs at Honeycomb Hi-Fi, Business Bay
Tokyo-inspired interiors, vinyl-only music, and a menu curated for people who call food a “vibe.”
Dubai doesn’t just do weekends, it elevates them. Whether you’re chasing golden hour or the perfect playlist, your plans deserve to hit just as hard as your outfit. So grab your crew, charge your phone, and make it a weekend worth reposting.
