There are five days spent at a desk and five reasons why you should make the most of the weekend. If you like a slow morning with a view, a meal that’s worth the calories, or an evening that actually feels like an occasion, Dubai hardly lacks in choices—you just have to know where to go. This weekend offers a mix of all these things: something to sip slowly, something to relax with, a table worth staying for, or a menu centred on a moment worth celebrating. Here’s your selection to go ahead and book it and then choose what you’d like.
A wellness takeover with K18
K18 is bringing that concept to life with an exclusive takeover at Club Swell, showcasing Future IQ, its latest innovation for long-term hair and scalp health. The experience brings guided movement classes to Club Swell, created around release, recovery and overall wellbeing, in addition to gifting curated K18 essentials in-class to keep the routine going at home. And at the centre of it all is Future IQ itself, a daily scalp serum to reduce shedding and promote fewer visible greys over time—evidence that K18’s biology-first approach starts at the root.
When: 24th to 26th of September
Where: Club Swell, Dubai

Breakfast that runs till the afternoon
At The Bay at Mandarin Oriental Jumeira, the all-day breakfast is being offered, extending the Sunday morning session into the realm of savoury dishes, featuring shared plates and dessert without the need to keep track of the time. This menu is accompanied by a new all-day selection inspired by French Mediterranean cuisine, highlighting dishes such as Dover Sole Meunière and the Wagyu Steak Sandwich.
When: Every Sunday, 12:30pm – 4pm
Where: The Bay, Mandarin Oriental Jumeira, Dubai
A Mid Autumn Festival feast
Thinking of getting the family together round the table this weekend? MEI Restaurant at Mina Al Salam is celebrating one of the most important dates on the Chinese calendar with a specially designed Mid Autumn Festival menu featuring crab, which is on offer for three days only. Don’t forget to leave room for the Moon Cake dessert, as it has been created especially for the occasion. The same menu is available at SHI on Bluewaters Island, and the Moon Cake is also served at MEI, SHI and MOLI located at Dubai Hills Business Park.
When: 25th to 27th of September
Where: MEI Restaurant, Mina Al Salam, Madinat Jumeirah (also at SHI, Bluewaters Island)
A hammam ritual, at home
If you’re not in the mood to leave the house this weekend, Maison Lumière has a new range of hammam treatments that bring one of the area’s most restorative bathing practices directly to you. You can select the highly indulgent Velvet Rose Hammam, a 150-minute treatment that wraps the body in warmth and nourishment, or go for the lighter and more refreshing Neroli Breeze Hammam, which takes 75 minutes. Both treatments include a traditional cleanse using black soap and a sea salt exfoliation, then move on to Rhassoul clay, a cooling mint treatment and infrared heat, before ending with an argan hair cleanse and a botanical dry-oil massage. If you’d like something more specific, the new Energy Reset Ritual with Cupping combines a therapeutic massage with traditional cupping in order to release tension and restore circulation. Each session is carried out by Maison Lumière’s own Wellness Experts and is customised for you, so all you need to do is choose a time and let them take care of the rest.
When: Available now, by at-home appointment
Where: Maison Lumière (at-home)
A cake decorating workshop with Rise Bakehouse
Fancy trying your hand at something a little more hands-on this weekend? Rise Bakehouse is launching its first-ever Cakes in Bloom Workshop, bringing cake decorating and floral artistry together in one 90-minute session. Each guest works on their own mini square cake, starting with a smooth buttercream finish before moving on to piping techniques for petals, leaves and flowers — building up to a full edible bouquet you’ll almost feel bad eating. Don’t worry if you’ve never picked up a piping bag before; the workshop is designed for beginner to intermediate levels, with the Rise Bakehouse team guiding you through every step.
When: 26th & 27th of September
Where: Rise Bakehouse, Al Quoz
Coffee, food and community under one roof
If there’s a place you’re looking for that can take you from your morning flat white right through to lunch, then Roasters Speciality Coffee House has established its reputation as one of the UAE’s top locally owned coffee brands. With skilled baristas working through carefully sourced beans and a full range of brewing methods, from espresso-based drinks to hand-brewed coffee. It doesn’t limit itself to coffee alone – the all-day menu includes breakfast items, pastries, savoury dishes and seasonal specialities, so it’s suitable whether you’re having a relaxed weekend breakfast or just taking a coffee break in the afternoon.
When: Daily
Where: Multiple locations across Dubai
