A cool stylish lounge that offers a wide variety of drinks. When it comes to food you can have finger food & appetizers that are quite nice but do not expect a restaurant experience. The setup is really nice with a cool atmosphere and music on the 40th floor. Mind to go there dressed up nicely :)

If you’ve ever wondered where all the pretty people go on a Friday afternoon, the answer is this secluded beach spot at Golden Tulip Al Jazira, Ghantoot. Blue Marlin Ibiza UAE is a lively day-to-night party experience, popular with young expats. It isn’t hard to see the attraction: the beach club/outdoor nightclub and restaurant is just 20 minutes’ drive from Dubai and about 40 minutes from Abu Dhabi, ideal for partygoers from both emirates. Girls here look like supermodels while the gents are perfectly chiselled, so do throw on your nicest board shorts or kaftan.

As well known for the chill-out soundtracks and mellow atmosphere as anything else, it is a good spot to take visitors without bludgeoning them with enormous tower views or beaches. Asian wall art and furniture are looked on by a lively crowd nodding their head to the trippy soundtrack.

Superstar DJs behind the decks and international celebrities mingling with Dubai’s “it crowd” on the dancefloor make this one of the most talked about venues in the city. Sparkling is an understatement for a lounge designed in honour of fashion legend Roberto Cavalli, and the crystal chandeliers, walls and waterfalls all give it the shine you would expect. Despite the obvious effort to look good and be seen to do so, the crowd here know how to party and it is not all for posing.

The London original carries more than a decade of celebrity-attracting notoriety, and this Dubai version is the epitome of the “see and be seen” ethos. The formula is simple: just be as exclusive and glitzy as possible. But because it is fancy and attractive, don’t think for one second it doesn’t know how to put on a good night.

There’s something about MusicHall that reminds us of the elegance of the 1940s and ’50s, when stars like Frank Sinatra and Gene Kelly were the toast of Tinseltown and dinner shows were the go-to night out. An evening here can feel pretty special. Aside from its club dinner shows, MusicHall offers a unique nightlife concept.

With the opening of its brand-new, 39-metre, glass-fronted infinity pool, Zero Gravity is over the identity crisis that has not so much held it back, but more made it a place to tentatively approach in the daytime. It has, until now, been best loved for its late-night shindigs that happen under a variety of names – DXBeach, Velocity and so on – but now there is a real push to become a weekend day hub. Transitioning from night to day is always tricky, but Zero Gravity has overhauled its changing facilities, added lockers and installed rain showers. So, see you at sunrise for yoga, lunchtime on the beach, and down the front for an international DJ as the clock strikes midnight.

It turns out this Habtoor Grand location can do anything it turns its hands to. Even the party brunch is packed with atmosphere and finesse. But it is at night, when podium dancers perform alongside the private booths and swimming pool, that it really takes off. International DJs recreate one of the more Ibiza-like experiences in Dubai.

Parks & Nature

This lushly landscaped beach park consists of a string of five lovely sandy sweeps and comes with plenty of infrastructure, including a swimming pool, playgrounds, water sports rentals, barbecues, grassy areas and air-conditioned cabanas (per day Dh160 to Dh210, on Beach 4). There are also sun loungers and umbrellas for rent but food outlets are minimal so you might want to bring a picnic. Mondays and Wednesdays are for women and children only. It's about 6.5km from the nearest metro station.

Paralleling the beachfront for about 1km, The Beach is an open-plan cluster of low-lying, urban-style buildings wrapped around breezy plazas. Hugely popular with families on weekends, it mixes cafes and upmarket shops with a lively waterfront fun zone complete with a water park, a splash park, an outdoor gym, an outdoor cinema and plenty of other diversions. A beach club rents sun loungers, but you're free to spread your towel just about anywhere for free.

Sightseeing

The Burj Khalifa is a stunning feat of architecture and engineering, with two observation decks on the 124th and 148th floors and a restaurant-bar on the 122nd. The world’s tallest building pierces the sky at 828m and opened in January 2010, six years after excavations began. To avoid wait times or expensive fast-track admission, book tickets online as far as 30 days in advance. Note that high humidity often cloaks Dubai in a dense haze, making views less than breathtaking.

Dubai Mall’s most mesmerizing sight is this gargantuan aquarium where thousands of beasties flit and dart amid artificial coral. Sharks and rays are top attractions, but other popular denizens include sumo-sized groupers and massive schools of pelagic fish. You can view quite a lot for free from outside or pay for access to the walk-through tunnel. Tickets also include access to the Underwater Zoo upstairs, whose undisputed star is a 5.1m-long Australian crocodile named King Croc.

This dancing fountain is spectacularly set in the middle of a giant lake against the backdrop of the glittering Burj Khalifa. Water undulates as gracefully as a belly dancer, arcs like a dolphin and surges as high as 150m, all synced to stirring classical-, Arabic- and world-music soundtracks. There are plenty of great vantage points, including from some of the restaurants at Souk Al Bahar, the bridge linking Souk Al Bahar with Dubai Mall and the Dubai Mall waterfront terrace. For even closer views, book a cruise aboard a wooden abra (a traditional boat) that sets sail between 5.45pm and 11pm
