Daycation idea. Whether it’s relaxing, a catch up with friends, somewhere to hang out with the kids or you just need some ‘me’ time, Sofitel Dubai The Palm has you covered with the perfect Daycation deals. Enjoy all-day access to four swimming pools and 500m of private beach on Palm Jumeriah, all of which are spacious enough to ensure safe physical distance from other guests. Coming with the kids? There is lots to keep them busy including the kids club, pools with slides, and watersports along with Waiora Aqua Bounce.
Dessert by the fountains. The Fountains at Yas Mall is running #DessertMarch. Enjoy the wonderful dancing fountain shows and indulge in a delectable pudding with everything from traditional Middle Eastern favourites, to show-stopping shakes and delicious frozen yoghurts on offer. Our tip: try the Sparkling Volcano at Rainforest Café.
Yoga fest. Our lives are obvioulsy filled with challenges and daily stresses. With the ever-shifting state of affairs, there is no better time to rewire and recalibrate by connecting inward. Renowned Kundalini Yoga teacher and trainer, Nancy Zabaneh is holding a retreat curated in collaboration with Wellness World to help you cleanse your mind and body in time for the Spring Equinox. Set in the beautiful Hajar mountains, take a deep dive whilst unplugging from the noise of daily living from today until March 13 at the JA Hatta Fort Hotel.
