Discover the Privilee Team's top picks

August is here, and we’ve been enjoying exploring the best of what the UAE has to offer. 

Our team has been out and about, discovering the coolest spots for you to make the most of your Privilee membership. 

Here’s what we’ve been loving this month.

Daycay, everyday

Whenever I need to escape the sun, Anantara Dubai The Palm Resort is my sanctuary. It’s a Thailand-inspired oasis where luxury meets tranquillity. I recently spent an afternoon lounging by the pool and sipping on refreshing cocktails at the swim-up bar. This resort offers the perfect retreat to unwind and enjoy the summer.

Another one of my go-to spots when I want a change of scenery is Yas Beach in Abu Dhabi!

Explore more of the UAE

I love getting out of the city to explore different parts of the UAE. Heading out to Ras Al Khaimah is my new favourite weekend adventure. I like to get a HIIT class in at SMASH Ras Al Khaimah while my partner enjoys a yoga class to start off the day.

We then like to head over to the InterContinental Ras Al Khaimah Resort & Spa for a refreshing dip in the stunning pools.

Mix up your routine

As a fitness enthusiast, Raise Fitness & Wellness is one my regular workout spots on Jumeirah Islands. I love the high-spec TechnoGym equipment and stunning design. When the weather is cooler, I enjoy doing a high-intensity session in the outdoor training area.  Whether you’re into strength training or cardio, Raise Fitness & Wellness has something to get your heart pumping.

Play padel indoors 

I recently started playing padel tennis and I am hooked! With so many courts available on Privilee, I’m never at a loss to find my next location. Just because it’s hot doesn’t mean my game has to suffer thanks to the indoor padel courts at Padelae in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. There’s nothing better than practising my serves in an air-conditioned indoor court! 

Just Padel Mina Rashid and Mantra are also great spots for those looking for indoor padel courts!

Brunch through summer

We all know the best way to cruise through the summer heat is to enjoy brunch with friends or family. My new favourite brunch spot is Papas in the heart of Dubai Marina. I love experiencing welcoming Italian vibes here in Dubai, served with hearty helpings of deliciously authentic Italian-style cuccina cooking. 

Papas Saturday Brunch — House Package: Members save 20% | AED 360. Available every Saturday from 2pm - 5pm.

Round off the week with a roast dinner 

When hunger strikes on Sunday, I like to go for a roast dinner at STK Dubai JBR. Apart from saving 20% on menu items thanks to my Privilee membership, I love coming for the traditional roast dinner which Members can enjoy for AED 75. 

I enjoy the atmosphere of the place, especially over the weekends. It’s a great venue to end the weekend at with an entertaining vibe that keeps you smiling all weekend.

You can purchase the above offer through your app.
