What's On This Week

As the months cool, temperatures in Dubai reach the perfect level to spend the whole day out, whether that’s relaxing at a pool, getting lively at a brunch, or sharing an intimate 6-course meal. October also brings with it a lot of exciting occasions, with Halloween and Oktoberfest just around the corner. We've put together a list of five things to look forward to this October!

Wellness Experience at Aura Skypool

Our first spot to make the list this October has been making waves in Dubai for a year now, Aura is notorious as the world’s highest 360o infinity pool. With stunning views of the city’s surroundings, a tranquil and sophisticated atmosphere, and an incredible photo opportunity at every spot, it’s no wonder Aura is on both visitors and locals to do lists. This October, take Aura to the next level with their wellness experience, and enjoy an exclusive Vinyasa Yoga class set against the beautiful backdrop of the Dubai skyline. The experience includes an hour yoga class with Resident Wellness Coach Emilse every Wednesday from 8am-9am, followed by a gourmet breakfast in the sky from 9am to 9.45am, the package also includes a welcome wellness shot, and an Aura water bottle and infused water to take home. Places fill up fast on this one so book early! 

Party at Soul Beach

If you’re looking for a lively Halloween activity this October 29th, Playbook has just the thing with the returning Party at Soul Beach with Ibiza Global Radio UAE. With 4 dates to put in the diary – 1st October, Halloween edition 29th October, 26th November and a special NYE party on 31st December, Soul Beach is putting on a party with renowned international DJs at their very vibey main stage right on the beach. Bringing the Ibiza atmosphere to the Arabian Gulf with electronic music from the afternoon into the early hours of the morning, it’s going to be a mad one.  

Soak Up The Sun at KYMA Beach

Relax and soak up the Autumn weather this October with a pool and beach day at KYMA Beach Dubai. Located at Palm West Beach, KYMA is a new beach club destination bringing Mediterranean elegance and a Greek-themed menu to the Gulf. Think classic, elegant and relaxing Grecian vibes, with rattan umbrellas and white sun loungers lining the azure pool. KYMA is artistic and sophisticated, and now the weather is cooler, October is the ideal time to chill by a pool for the day.

folly & friends 6-Course Dinner

Our next recommendation is an exciting partnership between much-loved restaurant Folly, and 5 of Dubai’s most exciting chefs. Folly’s executive chef Bojan Cirjanic will be joined by chefs from 5 different restaurants in the City to create 6-course menus that are innovative and exciting. Three chefs remain for October, with folly X Brix on Wednesday October 12th, folly X Vietnamese Foodies on Wednesday October 19th and folly X 21 grams on 26th October. Located at Souk Madinat, folly is a relaxed and welcoming restaurant with incredible fine dining cuisine, these partnerships are an exciting opportunity to experience curated menus from the city’s best, homegrown chefs. 

New Ladies Day at February 30

Our final recommendation for what’s on this October combines beach club vibes and ladies’ day prices at February 30. Located on Palm Jumeirah’s bustling West Beach, February 30 is a Beirut beach club brand that’s bright, lively and retro. Overlooking the Dubai Marina, February 30 is offering an exciting Ladies’ Day Deal for AED199 for a sunbed, beach access and unlimited drinks, every Tuesday from 12pm - 4pm. February 30 has a very cool vibe, with red and white striped sunbeds, Bali inspired parasols, and a huge circular beach bar right in the centre, lounge the afternoon away this October.
